William Kranski Photography

We cannot recommend Bill Kranski of William Kranski Photography enough! We found him through The Knot and were immediately drawn to both the beauty of his work and his very reasonable pricing. After watching several wedding films on his website, we loved how naturally he captured each wedding. Nothing felt staged or overly produced—the films captured the real emotions and moments of the day. We booked Bill very last-minute, so we especially appreciated how easy he was to work with. He was quick to respond, got contracts and forms to us promptly, and took the time to understand what we wanted and explain how he worked. He also allowed us to customize our package, which was incredibly helpful. On the wedding day, Bill was wonderful to work with. He worked seamlessly with our photographer, Patrick Stromme, and respected our request to stay mostly in the background and shadow the photographer. We often forgot he was even there! He would occasionally suggest a shot he wanted to capture, and every one turned out amazing. Bill was also incredibly good at using his time. During lulls, he captured drone footage of the venue and little details we never would have thought to ask for; loons on the lake, moths, our dogs, the food, and so many other details that helped tell the story of our day. He went with the flow, quickly set up multiple cameras for our ceremony, and would ask others for direction to keep stress low for us. One of my favorite things about the finished videos is how Bill captured moments we didn't even realize were happening. He captured movement and angles that photographs can't, along with emotions that can change across someone's face in just seconds. He truly didn't seem to miss a beat. And the turnaround time was AMAZING. Bill had our ceremony, vows, and speeches ready for us the day after our wedding, and we received our highlight video while we were still on our honeymoon! I honestly think I've cried more after the wedding watching our videos than I did on the actual wedding day. We've watched our highlight video so many times, and every time I notice something new or remember something I'd forgotten. I especially love hearing snippets of our vows throughout the highlight video. Hearing laughter, whispered comments, and the voices of the people we love brings me right back to those moments. The highlight film feels cinematic without overwhelming the natural emotions of the day, while the ceremony, vows, and speeches feel wonderfully documentary, exactly what we wanted. Photos let us remember what our wedding looked like, but our wedding video lets us relive the emotion of the day. Someday, when we look back on our wedding, we're going to be so grateful to have these videos as a reminder of the love we have for each other, the support of everyone around us, and how beautiful that day truly was. If you're considering hiring Bill Kranski, DO IT! He is personable, professional, easy to work with, communicates well, is willing to travel, and is clearly dedicated to giving every couple his best work. We are incredibly grateful that he helped us preserve the memories and emotions of our wedding day.

William took the most beautiful photos of our special day. Even when we were out of photo ideas, he was never short of ideas. He also created the best keepsake video which highlighted the entire ceremony as well as parts of our dinner and reception. He was very professional and even blended in with all of our wedding guests. We hands down recomend him for any photography and videography needs.

William Kranski Photography was recommended to us by a friend to document our son's burial service last year. Bill was professional and easy to work with. He responded in a timely manner when we contacted him and made the process very easy for us. Even a year later when we had a follow up question, he took care of it right away. He captured that moment in time in a respectful manner and we're very pleased with the video. But more than all of that he went above & beyond and was so very helpful to us at a time when we couldn't think straight. We're so thankful to him for his kindness and concern. We would definitely recommend Bill as a videographer.

We hired Bill to do our wedding videography. He was so professional on the quoting process and worked with us as we required some special accommodations. I knew right then we should hire him. He was in Wisconsin but made the trip to Minneapolis. Working with him the day of the wedding was so easy, fun, and completely stress free. We barely knew he was there. When he delivered the final video literally a couple of days later, we were stunned. Not sure how he captured all of that, but he did. But the best part was that the video was so personal and beyond what we ever expected. I think it's his heart. You don't just capture all of that and create like that without a special heart. That's what you want for your wedding. HIRE HIM! You won't be disappointed.

My husband and I booked William Kranski Photography for a wedding videographer in 2024. We couldn't have asked for a better videographer! The wedding day was a breeze as he is super laid back and he blended right in with everyone! Bill is easy to work with and his work is truly amazing. He captured every moment we want to remember and more. Though we did not use Bill as a photographer, I have seen his photography and the pictures look incredible! If you are looking for someone who is talented, professional, and enjoable to spend your day with, I 100% recommend Bill. My husband and I can't thank him enough!
