About Crane's Photography
Crane's Photography
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. If you’ve been searching for a blend of artistry and authenticity, you’ve found it.
After more than 10 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.

Highly recommend!!!
From our first conversation, Crane's Photography made the whole process feel simple and stress-free. Randy responded to our questions right away and was genuinely kind every step of the way. On our wedding day, he showed incredible patience with us and our family and captured all the moments that mattered most to us and more! The photos turned out beautiful and really tell our love story. We would absolutely recommend Crane's Photography to any couple looking for someone who truly cares about their special day. We hope to book Randy again for future events of ours!
Randy Donev•Jun 12, 2026Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review, Danielle! It truly means a lot to me. You and your families made me feel so welcomed from the very beginning, and it was an absolute joy to be part of your wedding day. I'm so happy the photos tell your story in a way that you'll treasure for years to come. Thank you for trusting me with such an important day, and I'd be honored to photograph more of your milestones in the future!

Timeless, Stunning, Perfect
Cranes Photography was one of the best investments we made for our wedding. From start to finish, the experience felt seamless, elevated, and truly personalized. Our photos are nothing short of stunning — timeless, artistic, and beyond what we imagined. Randy’s talent and professionalism speak for themselves. If you’re looking for a high-end photography experience, this is it.

Beautiful Fall Wedding Photos!
Randy at Crane's Photography is so creative and visionary and takes beautiful photos. We are so pleased with our wedding photos. He really knows his lighting, etc. and picked great spots for our outdoor photos. The two of us had beautiful first look photos by a lake, photos by an archway at the church, and had sunset photos at the reception - all of the solo couple shots are just priceless! He also took pictures of us hitting golf balls in our wedding dress/tuxedo since our reception was at a golf course (country club). He also captured many family portraits for us and we love these as well as our wedding party photos. We also used Crane's Photography's photo booth services during the reception, which was a big hit and the photos were so fun. The service was high-tech yet straightforward and the background looked great. Thank you for everything, Crane's Photography!

Randy is amazing!
From the moment we first spoke with Randy at Crane's Photography, we knew we were in great hands. He was a fantastic communicator - friendly, kind, and clearly passionate about his work. Randy was hardworking, dedicated, and cared deeply about ensuring our wedding day was captured perfectly. The photos he took were absolutely stunning and are such a treasured memento of our special day. We are so grateful to Randy and the Crane's Photography team for their incredible service and for helping to make our wedding day so memorable.

Incredible Photographer!
Randy did an incredible job from start to finish! From our first meeting we could tell that he took his craft seriously and had the experience and skill to know how to get the best results. The engagement session was a great way to get to know each other and get used to having our photos taken. On the day of the wedding we got so many great photos. It felt like each time I thought "this would be a great photo", I could look around and notice Randy discreetly capturing it. He had never been to our venue (Northfork Farm in Oswego), but he picked amazing spots for all of our photos. Looking through the 1000 photos has been such a great way to re-live the day again and again. Randy was great to work with and we could not be happier he was our photographer!!
