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.

Angela and Dean: Married

I was honored by Angela and Dean who gave me the opportunity to photograph their wedding at Ridge Creek Golf Course where they invited an intimate gathering of family to witness their Indonesian wedding in the Muslim tradition. It was really cool to watch. Later, the bride and groom changed into more Americanized wedding wear to celebrate with their friends as well as more extended family members. It was really a great time and a pleasure to capture the emotions and fun that went along with the day. It was also nice to shoot a wedding alongside fellow shooter Glenn Schafer who did video.

Will, I shot the photo with one off-camera Canon 580exII on light stand/umbrella set up. I used radiopopper transmitters. Pretty simple set up. Thanks for the kind words.

I love that shot! What lighting did you use? off camera flash? Alien Bee?
