Author Biography

Craig started to become interested in photography sometime back around the age of 8. Ever since, Craig would try to capture anything of interest. In 1990, Craig first started his formal studies as a photographer and was offered a teacher's assistant position for that very same photography course the following year. Throughout school, Craig took the interest of sports photography and became the school's main sports photographer. In 1993, Craig was offered a full scholarship to Brooks Institute to further his photography, communication arts, and graphic arts studies. Craig holds the prestigious Masters of Fine Arts in Photography degree (M.P.R.) and is a certified master professional wedding and portrait photographer. In 1994, Craig established Pardini Images and started photographing weddings professionally. Craig's first wedding was a referral from his photography professor in 1994. In 1999, Craig married his soul mate Kathy Ireland and shortly thereafter, Pardini Images changed to Pardini Photography and Weddings. Since Y2K, the team of Craig and Kathy made many differences in people's lives by documenting special, once in a lifetime moments with excellence! Craig and Kathy are always continuing their knowledge on the latest cutting edge photography technology. Craig frequently attends photography seminars and Photography / Photoshop continuing educational courses. In late 2008, Craig started instructing a photography class / program for individuals with autism. In 2009, Craig was inducted into the IFPO Photographers Hall of Fame. In 2010, Craig started small instructional photography seminars on how to take better photographs and Photoshop editing. Most of the time you will see Craig with a camera in hand or pulling out his Android phone to take snapshots. During trips and outings, Craig prefers to use a Nikon point and shoot or his camera phone for fun photos. Only during professional events will Craig pull out his pro cameras. Kathy has the eye for detail and the knowledge of transforming a great photograph into an exceptional work of art. Kathy uses Photoshop to edit every photo to a 'T' to make photographs to look the absolute best that they can be! In the photos that she edits, you will never see an air vent, light switch, ugly exit sign, or any other blemish, etc. Kathy takes the time to remove all obtrusive objects so the viewer will focus on the subject and not the blemish...
