Fresno Wedding Photographer Craig Kohlruss bio picture

About Craig

Photography for me has been a life-long love which continues today in many capacities. While I continue to serve on staff as a photojournalist at The Fresno Bee, I am also a full-time business professional with a focus in wedding, portrait and commercial photography.

Photography, when done right, is timeless, important, indelible. I strive to find truth in photography with documentary style, while capturing the true personalities in lively portraits.

I really appreciate your interest in my work and would love to talk to you about your event. To contact me about an event, go to the contact form or send me an . For more of my work you may see my main site. Thanks for dropping by.

Steph & Andrew

My first wedding of 2010 was for my friends Andrew and Stephanie who were married at the People’s Church Chapel and celebrated with pasta and chicken at Dicicco’s in Clovis. This had to be one of my more fun weddings to shoot because these two were having so much fun. They were exhausted from travelling out to California from South Dakota to be married in front of their family and friends, but you would never know it by watching them. Andrew broke out the Nerf guns as gifts for his groomsmen which took the edge off right away. And the portait session after the ceremony was such a crackup, I could barely focus. I extend my gratitude to this wonderful couple and their great family for allowing me the opportunity and the privilege to be a part of this day. It was truly an honor.
