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.

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.

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!!
Joyful Photos!

I looked at a LOT of wedding photographers. There are a lot of people out there who do beautiful photos, but none really felt like a fit for us -- either the photo style was moodier/sexier than I thought we could pull off, or the price was too steep for the amount of hours we wanted to have the photographer available, or photos felt too “posed” and cookie-cutter. Then we found Randy. The first thing I noticed about Randy’s portfolio is that people were smiling and laughing. You’d be surprised how few photographers feature photos that look joyful! The second thing I noticed is that photos weren’t all the same; different couples had different looks and styles. I felt like I was learning something about the couple by their photos. When we contacted Randy, we discovered that his work was not only in budget, but that his pricing included a full day of wedding photos – no matter how many hours the day lasted! Our package included engagement photos, wedding photos, a small album, and we added a photobooth for the wedding day. Our engagement session and wedding ended up being two years apart (thanks, COVID) and Randy did an incredible job with both! The engagement shoot gave us a great sense of how Randy works and got us accustomed with posing. What I most appreciated was the fact that Randy caught the moments in between the poses – where my husband and I were laughing with one another or sharing a special moment. For the wedding photos, Randy joined me a little bit before 9 am and was with us until the reception ended at 11 pm! He had a second photographer there during most of that time, as well. I really wanted to capture the joy of finally being able to be together with family and getting to celebrate. After nearly three years of being engaged, I was determined to make the day as stress-free as possible and just enjoy myself. Randy picked up on our joyful, relaxed mood right off the bat and gave us the photos of our dreams! Our photos are bright and colorful (although he picks wonderful photos to do in B&W) and full of laughter, big smiles, and happy tears. Every part of the day is beautifully captured, but we are especially fond of the candid joy in our reception pictures. He got such wonderful shots of our guests that we sent everyone a photo in their thank you cards! If you want wedding photos that feel like you, your partner, and your loved ones, I cannot recommend Randy enough. He is professional, easy to work with, and so talented. We are so grateful to have found him!

My husband and I are SO incredibly grateful we found Randy and hired him as our wedding photographer!! From our initial Zoom call, Randy was easy to talk to we were laughing together during our entire intro call. We first met in-person at our engagement shoot and were blown away by how amazing our photos turned out. It was evident Randy had a vision and in trusting him, we got photos that literally blew us (and our family/friends) away, including running onto a bridge in the middle of downtown Chicago! With that, we knew our wedding photos would be just as incredible. From the minute he arrived, Randy was on top of things, moving seamlessly through our shot list, working with all the personalities of our group, and letting our true selves/personalities shine through. He was also VERY quick to turn around our album, which we so appreciated! We can't recommend Randy enough!
