Randy and his second shooter Gigi were absolutely amazing! Randy impressed my dad and I as soon as we met with him because of his passion for what he does. He takes so much pride in his work. We received a beautiful video of highlight pictures made to the music of our first dance song that made all my loved ones tear up watching because he captures true emotion. We also received all of our edited pictures in less than a month of the wedding! My friends and family have said each one of his photos were better than the one before, too hard to chose just one. Cannot recommend him enough! read more

Subsequently, the results of his work on our wedding day have been impeccable. We would highly recommend Randy for any special occasion. read more

I loved working with Randy! He patiently answered all of my questions, promptly responded to emails, and was very flexible with us. We booked him well over a year and a half in advance. About a month before the wedding, we met with him again to discuss plans. I came with a schedule I created for the day, which he dissected and edited. He knows weddings and the timeline of the day so well. He captured many special moments and details without being asked to. The photos arrived on a disc by mail about a month after the wedding. We love our highlight video he created, too. We're so pleased with all of our photos, we've had a hard time picking just a few to hang in our home. read more

We cannot begin to thank Randy and his team enough for being a part of our special day and for helping to capture each memory from it. They were incredibly helpful during the planning process. They had all the details down and gave us confidence that we were working with the right photographer for our big day. We also want to thank them for helping both John and I to break out of our comfort zones. As we know, it is sometimes hard to be yourself when you are excited to get married and when you are taking pictures in front of others. They really pushed us to show our love for each other and excitement for getting married. This really shows in the final wedding album we received. The team captured the the huge amount of happiness and love we were feeling the day of. They also captured who we truly are individually and as a couple. We are also so happy that we were able to have Randy and his staff with us the entire day and that there were two photographers there to capture the moments. We are in love with our pictures and are so happy we have the memories to share with others for years to come! read more

Randy with Crane's is fabulous! We chose Randy based on his work from our friends' wedding, and we could not have been more pleased. He was so easy to work with during the planning process, and he was very thorough with instructions for our schedule the day of our wedding. Randy has such a great personality, and he made us both very comfortable on our wedding day. He was able to capture intimate moments without making us aware that he was there taking pictures. The process of taking our photos was fun, and everything just seemed to flow easily. We LOVE the results and our photos! I would absolutely recommend Randy with Crane's! read more

Working with Randy was one of the best decisions I ever made during the wedding planning process. His skills, passion, and enthusiastic personality truly shine in every photograph that he shoots. My husband and I knew he would be the perfect photographer for our wedding the moment we met him. He ensured we felt comfortable in front of the camera and enjoyed the process of taking each photograph. There are so many beautiful pictures, and he really captured the love and energy of our wedding. I am so thankful for his passionate work ethic.

Can't wait to work with him again next year at my sisters wedding!! read more

RANDY WAS FREAKING PERFECT!!!!!! From the engagement photos to the final moments of our wedding, everything was FLAWLESS! Besides the obvious fact that the pictures are simply stunning, Randy is punctual, professional, creative, quick, and simply a breath of fresh air to work with. I HIGHLY recommend Crane's Photography! I wish that he would photograph more than weddings. But I totally understand his niche; you must zero in and focus on one genre to obtain perfection. (And he has nailed it!) read more

Best wedding photographer ever! I am so glad that I had Randy as my photographer! From the very moment I met him, he was kind and accommodating! He never took longer than a day to reply to any e-mails. He also has a great sense of humor. He got all the kids smiling when they needed to for the photos. He took our engagement and wedding photos and every picture came out amazing! Although the posed pictures were great, I felt that his true talent came out when he would take pictures on the fly. He was able to capture a lot of genuine emotions, and honestly those were some of my favorite pictures. The best part is that we get to keep ALL of the photos that he takes, and he edits all of the photos! I am actually sad that our time with him has come to an end because I felt that he has become a close friend of mine. I wish Randy the best as he continues his photography business! read more

We received our edited pictures in a timely manner and loved being able to relive our wedding day through Randy's pictures. Thank you, Randy! read more

One of the first vendors we locked down for our wedding was our photographer. After speaking with a couple, we decided to go with Harold. He has literally decades of experience doing wedding photography, and it shows in his work. Find his website online and the first thing you'll notice is that he doesn't pick and choose pictures, he has the entire album from any event he works at online. That's the kind of confidence that only comes with someone who knows what he's doing. Harold is highly concerned with getting you all the pictures you want, and is very hands on with your day's schedule. But we got everything we wanted and then some. We decided to go with the two photographer package, and it was definitely a great decision. Harold got all the staged pictures and his second photographer captured a number of great photos of her own, both of the staged moments and some of the more candid times. We are extremely happy with the pictures that we got back from Harold, and very highly recommend him. read more

We had a fantastic experience with Randy. He is incredibly easy to work with and responsive. Whenever we had questions or needed adjustment, he really listened and made it happen without any problem. Randy did both our engagement and wedding pictures. We are happy with both. He made suggestions on how to pose and which angles were best for us. He made taking pictures fun and enjoyable. The final product came out beautifully. He made our wedding memorable. I highly recommend Randy. read more

Working with Randy was such a great experience. We are getting married in Cincinnati next fall, but both my fiancé and I live in Chicago. Since we met and live here, we really wanted to take our engagement photos here. Randy was so flexible and easy to work with. He even let us take some pictures with our dog who is not the easiest to photograph. Randy made the whole experience easy and painless. We decided to have our pictures taken in Lincoln Park and he made sure we took pictures in all different places. Even after our photograph session, Randy was quick in getting us our pictures. We loved them so much!! He was worth every penny and would definitely recommend him to anyone. read more

From the very first sit down with Rado we know we wanted to work with him for this special time. When we met at his offices to discuss he couldn't have been more friendly and professional. We were shown examples of his previous work as well as the wedding albums he would create if we chose that package; all the examples were beautiful. We decided that night during the meeting that we wanted to work with Rado and his team. Our package included engagement photos that we took downtown one afternoon/evening. Rado already had amazing locations picked out that he took us to throughout the city to snap some great shots of us in the city. The pictures were developed and delivered quickly and we couldn't have been more impressed, Rado did a great job capturing the grandness of the city while keeping it personal. The weeks before the wedding was when we were really thankful we booked with Rado. Those crazy weeks were a little less stressful with the help of Rado and his team. We were given a detailed schedule of the wedding day which eased our anxiety even more. The day of the wedding was a breeze. Rado met with me and my bridesmaids early AM at the salon while one of his additional photographers met with my fiance and his groomsmen where they were getting ready. From then on it was such a pleasure working with both of them. We didn't even know they were there at times, allowing for personal moments between family members, friends, bridal party, etc. but at the same time capturing those moments for us to cherish forever. The actual ceremony was photographed amazingly. We were married outside with beautiful fall colors behind us that Rado incorporated to every picture, taking advantage of the colors and setting sun. Viewing the pictures of the reception brings us right back to the day and makes us feel as if we're there again. Rado and his associate were able to capture the intimacy, laughter, fun, dancing, and all the other memories of that night better than we could have ever expected! This pictures were delivered to us within a few weeks via an online portal as well as a copy of the pictures on a personal USB drive for us to keep. The pictures are AMAZING, each picture is better than the last making for some amazing memories and helping us share the day with those that weren't able to make it. Even after the wedding day, Rado has been in constant contact helping us with our album as well as any other questions we might have. It was such a joy working with him and his team and wouldn't change a thing if we did it all over again! Thank you Rado!! read more
