About Crane's Photography

Crane's Photography

Kick-ass Photographer Seeks Kick-ass Couples!

PHOTOS YOU CAN FEEL! We believe in the magic of the unscripted—the belly laughs, the happy tears, and every quiet vibration in between. Our documentary-style approach allows your day to unfold naturally. We capture your story in its most organic form—focusing on real interactions without stiff, awkward posing. If you’ve been searching for a blend of artistry and authenticity, you’ve found it.

Hi, I’m Randy. Since 2008, I’ve photographed over 600 weddings. That experience is the heartbeat of Crane’s Photography, where I lead a team dedicated to an elevated, seamless experience. After more than 15 years in the industry, I honestly have to say that 50% of my photographic skill has nothing to do with the camera; it’s my ability to get couples to let down their walls and be natural with each other. I am very emotion-driven and work hard to capture the unique, personal nature of my couples.

Amazing! Book Randy!

Hiring Crane's Photography as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions during our wedding planning process. Based on his reviews and samples of his work, my husband and I were really connected and enjoyed his style and the way he was able to capture candid moments. And his work did not disappoint! From the moment we got our engagement photos back, we knew that we made the right decision and that our wedding photos would be equally amazing! Plus, Randy is such a nice man and kept us comfortable and smiling the whole day!
Loved Crane’s

Hiring Crane’s to be our photographer for our wedding day was the best decision we made. From the first call with Randy, we felt completely confident in his skills based on his experience and demeanor. We loved that they are a small company and were reassured to know he would be present on our wedding day. Fast forward to our wedding day and the day was completely seamless with Crane’s. They were efficient in getting the perfect shots and made the day seem so smooth. We could not be happier with how our photos turned out!
The absolute best!

Randy was absolutely AMAZING!! From the first video call with him, we could tell how much he loved his job. He is so passionate about what he does and all of our photos turned out stunning. Our engagement pictures were spectacular. He joked around with us and helped us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. He was there for 10 hours on our wedding day and he captured every possible emotion from everyone throughout our special day. I recommend Randy to every person in the Chicagoland area who gets married because he will truly help you re-live your wedding day over and over again through his amazing photographs!!!
Fantastic!

We had our wedding in October of 2023 year and it was amazing thanks to Randy and his team. He captured all the wonderful moments of the day and was a joy to work with. He was organized, easy to communicate with and super responsive. Randy takes the time to get to know his clients. He recognized us at a friend of ours wedding and made a point to say hello! His work speaks for itself, he has an eye for detail and makes the process as comfortable as possible. I have reached out to book Randy for our family photos this year and once again, he did such an amazing job! We will continue to reach out for all our family's photo needs:)
