Testimonials for Carrigg Photography & Design

“We’ve worked with Susan Carrigg several times on various graphic design and photography projects, and we’ve always been exceptionally impressed with the quality of her work and attention to detail. Susan will spend as much time as is necessary to get everything EXACTLY perfect and press ready. We LOVE her and highly recommend her to anyone looking to have their special moment preserved forever. Weddings, senior portraits, family and baby photos are her specialty, though she is equally well versed in creating compelling logos and design layouts. She is very accommodating and is extremely pleasant to work with. We highly recommend Carrigg Photography and Design!”
– Carolyn Miye, Speedpro Imaging of West Portland

“I have always loved looking through friends’ wedding albums and dreamed of having my own beautiful wedding photos. Steve and Susan Carrigg’s photographs exceeded all of my expectations, and the pictures they took were more beautiful than I ever could have imagined! Their attention to detail, creativity, and selection of breathtaking backgrounds gave me an incredible variety of amazing photos! Everyone in my wedding party had such a fantastic experience, and the ‘posed shots’ were so organized that we stayed right on schedule. I had so much fun working with Steve and Susan, and throughout my wedding day they captured every special moment and so many more! They went above and beyond in every possible way, and without reservation, I would highly recommend them! I absolutely LOVE my wedding album and will treasure the photographs they took forever!!!”

“The Carriggs did an amazing job capturing our wedding; we are both extremely pleased with the photographs that they took and would highly recommend them.

“I hired Carrigg Photography and Design to photograph my daughter’s wedding. I am very impressed and extremely pleased with their work and would highly recommend their services. Not only did they photograph the wedding, they designed the most original invitations, programs, signs and thank you cards. I had a theme and Susan really worked with me to put out artwork that reflected the ambiance of the wedding. The Carriggs worked within my budget and were able get snapshots all the important events of the wedding day. The best part of the photography was the photos before the wedding. These pictures are special and meaningful because they tell a story and the portraits of my daughter are stunning. My daughter was resistant to having her groom see her before the wedding, but the Carriggs created a special meeting and captured it all on film. My daughter and new son-in-law tell me this was their favorite part of their wedding day because their meeting was intimate and special, and the Carriggs made it so much fun.”
– Nancy, Mother of the Bride

“By lucky accident I found Susan, of Carrigg Photography & Design when I’d seen a website, business card and brochure collection, she designed for another business. I wanted a great design and company logo that was impressive enough to imprint, distribute and enjoy. I'm in the promotional products business and for years have not practiced what I preach (based on lack of logo design). If you want to maintain company awareness and obtain new relationships, you must promote your business, project or event. My philosophy to stretch a budget - provide a useful item, containing an interesting design, that anyone will want to use again and again. I met with Susan, discussed the nature of my business, desired colors, design elements and she was off and running. I was flabbergasted that within 24 hours I saw my logo take shape. I don't know how she did it, but she nailed it on the very first run. She was so intuitive, knowing what I wanted when I didn’t have a clue. I highly recommend Susan for your design needs as she is professional, efficient and reasonable. I will definitely work with her again and highly recommend her work.”
– Chris Souder, CS Promotional Products

“I highly recommend Carrigg Photography and Design. They are professional, knowledgeable, and strive to please. Their experience in photography speaks for itself in the excellent quality of their photos. I have had the pleasure of using their services many times, and have always been impressed at how quickly after the photos are taken, for them to be available for purchase. Their team of photo experts will work with you to get you the final finished product that you will treasure always.”
– Kristi Kasparek

“I’d use Carrigg Photography & Design again in a hot minute. They create brilliant photos and offer very fair pricing. Win-win for me! Susan and Steve’s clever, flexible, efficient approach resulted in a professional ceramics portfolio that I’m proud to present (and the feedback’s been stellar). Their friendly, confident, can-do attitude put me at ease immediately. They listened to, met and exceeded my objectives. Tada! I’m delighted with my photos and found the whole experience exhilarating, ’cuz the Carriggs made my artwork look fabulous. I am ecstatic!!!”
– Carol

“We hired Carrigg Photography and Design to shoot some photos for our daughters portfolio. I was ASTOUNDED at the job they did!!! I was so impressed I asked to see some of their other work and I couldn’t believe how good they were... I saw complete photo packages from two very different weddings (they nailed the style of each) and then I saw some of their commercial work for business web sites and brochures. They were creative, artistic, imaginative, and just flat fantastic. Susan, the owner, tells me that she and Steve work well together because they each bring to the table the artistic and technical skills that the job requires. I have to say this is an understatement. I am very happy to be able to pass their name along to anyone wanting a really top-notch job.”
– Trisha

“Susan Carrigg is a tremendous graphic designer you can call on for creative, fast, technically superb ads, brochures, or a wealth of other marketing material. Susan created an ad for me that matched my brand and included wonderful gradients and design. I gave her about 10 pictures and asked her to choose the best 3, simply asking for diversity in gender and location. Having her make those image calls was a big time saver for me when I faced a tight ad deadline. What struck me about Susan was that she personified great customer service and technical skills whether it was quickly responding to emails or handling the conversion to CMYK color space so the ad colors would be true to how they were captured. I highly recommend you contact Susan to kick start your promotional campaigns in a stress free way.”
– Paul Sivley, Photographer

“Recently I decided it was time for an update to my business image. A friend introduced me to Susan Carrigg and am I happy I made that introduction. I wasn't quite sure what I wanted. I liked parts of my old design but not all of it. I am sure she thought I was indecisive or confused or who knows what when we first met but Susan made me feel at ease. She asked great questions and then went to work giving me visual options to choose from. She showed me how they would look on my website, my letterhead and even my business card. With each option she would ask what I liked and didn’t like ultimately helping me to create just the right look. Susan also has great printer resources that will save money and time. I love that she can also help me with the right photgraphic support for my work. I will be talking to her about that next.”
