Dennis Crider Photography

ork. Dennis made an effort to get to know everyone and to capture our relationships. His funny and lighthearted personality is one that I appreciated having on our wedding day. My wedding morning was extra fun because the makeup artist I booked was a no-show. This ruined my perfectly crafted getting-ready timeline, and we arrived at the venue an hour later than anticipated. Dennis kept things moving and managed to create all the amazing pictures we wanted (and more!) in this crunched time frame. P.S. I had such a hard time picking which pictures to put in the review because I love them all!!

high energy! We loved him and our bridal party and families did as well! He was also extremely fast and got us our pictures in 4-5 days! I highly recommend him and his team!

rfect hype man from start to finish and captured everything I asked and more. My mom (who is picky about photographers) even commented mid-family photo about how great he was... and he was great at lining everyone up quickly to avoid blocking each other. We were on a tight timeline so that we could make it to cocktail hour and he kept the group moving in a fun and friendly way. All in all everyone enjoyed having him around! That doesn't even start with how amazing his photos are. He is truly an artist and envisions the coolest shots possible. We have some great standard photos too, but some of our favorites are things he came up with. He started sending me pictures THE VERY NEXT DAY and my album was completed that week. It was insane. I have received nothing but compliments and shock at how amazing they really are. It has been a long time since I was so impressed by someone's photos but I couldn't recommend Dennis more. His 2nd photographer (Mark) was also so amazing and it was great to have them both to capture multiple parts of our day, from multiple angles.

ofessional and personable 📸 great time management 📸 AMAZING photos.. trust me you won’t be disappointed! 📸 quick response time 📸 we didn’t get preview photos but he had all our wedding photos to us within THREE days! I have seen where others are waiting weeks and months!! This is beyond amazing!!!!! Don’t just look at his website.. check out his Instagram and fb page too.

gles and motion is amazing. He is wonderful at posing us to not look posed. He captures candids beautifully. There is so much emotion evoked in the photos. He does all of this quickly and as second nature. He is also efficient with group family photos. I love photos and I am picky, and he exceeded ALL of my expectations. He also makes taking photos fun. My fiancé (now husband!) does not like taking photos, and even he had fun with Dennis and enjoyed the experience. Our families also loved him. I hired a second shooter too, Mark, who was also phenomenal and highly recommended. We got our edited photos within a week of our wedding. I cannot say enough wonderful things. Dennis Crider is the absolute greatest. I am so grateful to him for capturing the memories I will cherish for the rest of my life.

ion, he helped coordinate during the day, was so incredibly easy to work with, and felt like having a friend there on your day. He’s the biggest hype and just such a gem to work with. My husband, parents, and guests cannot say enough positive things about Dennis. You certainly will not regret it if you book him!

y, and felt confident right away that he would bring that same liveliness in person! Our engagement session and wedding day were captured so beautifully and creatively by Dennis, something I haven’t seen by most professional photographers. Dennis captured every candid moment and exceeded all of our expectations! He also works super quickly on the albums which is so important as an eager bride and groom craving to relive their special day! Our best decision was to book with Dennis for our wedding!!

completely comfortable in front of the camera and he captured every single moment without even being noticed. Throughout the process he always felt much more like a friend than a paid vendor. The photos were delivered quickly and were so easy to download and share. He even made sure to let me know the day after the wedding that the photos were safely stored in several places. He truly made it so that I did not have to worry for a second about anything photography related, and for that I am eternally grateful. The feedback on our photos are incredible, and the most frequent phrase used is "these are the best wedding photos I have ever seen." We would hire Dennis again and again and again if we could. He was worth every cent and them some and we could talk about how wonderful he is forever. If photos are important to you, choose Dennis and you will have every single expectation exceeded.

rtable and our whole wedding party loved him. We could not believe how quickly we received our full album after our day and the pictures are amazing!!!!

his second shooter was also exceptional. Not only was Dennis's turn around time impeccable, the photos were equally impressive. He listened to our requests and went above and beyond to capture all the special moments of our beautiful day. Not only is he an amazing photographer, he's also an amazing person. I would recommend him to all my friends and family!

at photographs. He has a wonderful personality, which is really important because the photographer is with the couple the whole day. I highly recommend Dennis!

ely spectacular. His eye for unique moments is unmatched. Dennis took the time to scope out the areas around the area/venue and the flow of the sessions were seamless as a result. Our bridal party highly enjoyed working with him- his enthusiasm for us as a couple and bridal party as well as the art he was creating was contagious and you couldn't help but have fun around him. What he can do with a camera is truly remarkable and you could truly tell he loves what he does- he would get excited about how photos turned out and would give us a sneak peek throughout our wedding day. His turn around time is incredible and I really just cannot say enough good things about him. If you have the opportunity to book Dennis, DO IT

patient, kind, and immeasurably funny. I know a lot of photographers, and choosing only one company for my wedding was soooo harrrrrd. Ultimately, we chose Dennis, 1.) because he is a genius and 2.) because he had such a great vibe with us as a couple. We were COVIDelayed 3 times, and I always felt like Dennis was in my corner. The photos speak for themselves! Dennis made us look amazing and feel even better. We love you so much, Dennis, and we are so grateful to have been able to work with you on our big day. Our album is so beautiful and leather and nice, and we just couldn't have done it without you.

ilability. We could not imagine having anyone else. He genuinely was just as excited about our day as we were! Dennis captured moments throughout our day that we will never forget. We chose not to hire a videographer as we had all the confidence in the world that Dennis wouldn't miss a moment. From the emotional exchange of gifts to the endless amount of joy on our guests faces and the hilarious partying with Hot Dogs - he caught it all! Nobody is used to having someone follow them around and take pictures all day. Dennis has an amazing ability to balance using his amazing personality to make everyone in a room feel comfortable and disappearing into the background so you can feel every moment as if he weren't there. We planned our wedding so that it was one our guests would never forget and we trusted Dennis to take pictures that replicated this. He had us throwing popcorn, climbing on top of things and stealing a shot when the light was 'just right' to get the best of the best of our day on camera. We will sing Dennis' praises for years to come and consider ourselves some of his biggest fans!

r wedding day and take you right back. He has such natural talent and infectious energy and works so hard not just to capture the day, but to make sure you're having the best day ever. He set up the most special surprise slow dance for us surrounded by friends and family that photographed beautifully, and they're some of my favorite pictures from the day. He also works FAST, Dennis was so sweet to let us know he had a vacation coming up right after our wedding (super far in advance), and we still had our complete set of edited photos back within three weeks of our wedding date, which is absolutely incredible. Honestly if we could get married once a month just to hang out with Dennis, we probably would.

. Not to mention his turnaround was INCREDIBLY fast! I would trust Dennis with any photography project!

ly wants to be your photographer but a friend as well. He went out of his way to become friends with our bridal party and get to know everyone. The pictures he took (from what we’ve seen, unedited on the camera) are UNBELIEVABLE. He incorporated lighting and creativity to capture some truly amazing pictures. His creativity is truly out of the box. You would not be disappointed booking Dennis for your wedding photographer. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

his personality is unmatchable. Since the photographer is following you around all day long, it was important for us to have someone we could vibe with and Dennis is so much fun to be around. The next day, our whole bridal party was talking about how much they loved being around him! He's hilarious, and awesome to do business with. On top of it all, he has an impeccable creative eye and comes up with crazy, unique shots that are absolutely beautiful. I wish I could give him more than 5 stars! Book him NOW!

edibly smooth and professional. Dennis always makes sure he hears what you envision and takes it to the next level with his incredible eye! Very detailed but also fun to work with!

booking him. Quick turn around for our fully edited pictures. You will appreciate his communication and reliability.

Would definitely recommend!

ive work, and insanely fast turn around time in photos. Dennis was so well known by all of our other vendors who have also loved working with him. He listened to us, laughed with us, and was truly a part of our day, cannot recommend him enough! 10 out of 5 stars

t capturing the little moments of your day... Dennis is the photographer you need. He not only captured the magic of our day, but he made our wedding album so unique and unlike any wedding photos I have ever seen before. He is truly a magician with angles and lighting, and everyone is still floored by the photos that he took of our wedding day. Like our entire wedding party kept saying all day - Dennis is the man!

he was shooting my friends wedding in 2018. Before he was done taking the pictures of us while we were getting ready I told him I was going to use him for my wedding, whenever I finally got engaged. Fast forward to 2019. I got engaged and Dennis remembered who I was from her wedding and couldn't believe that I still wanted to use him. I told him that he was not negotiable during our wedding planning with my fiance. We took our engagement pictures in downtown Canton, and let me tell you... you would have no idea with how beautiful they came out. My husband calls him a photo wizard. We had to postpone our wedding due to COVID and Dennis was nothing but amazing when working with us on a new date. Our wedding finally came on 7/16/2021 and he blew it away. Not just us, but he blew away our vendors so much that one of them requested permission to use the photo at their venue. He was amazing, personable and beyond creative. I tell everyone I know getting married to use him.

ard work, expertise, efficiency, kindness, humor and artistry made him a pleasure with whom to work as our wedding photographer. I can’t say enough positive things about him, and I highly recommend him. You will love Dennis!

ted about Dennis from the start and he did not disappoint. And to make things even better, he had sneak peek photos ready for us the very next day!! Could not have been happier! He is worth every single penny you spend. If you’re between photographers, just go with Dennis. You won’t be sorry!

hough he was a member of our bridal party! His turnaround time for pictures is so quick and the work he does is truly extraordinary. He knows where to go for the best shot and will make you feel like a bridal model on your big day. He knows to capture not just the big stuff, but the little moments as well. We absolutely loved having Dennis capture and be a part of our wedding and cannot recommend him enough!!

o capture the perfect mix of formal photos, candid moments, and pure art. He's also extremely easy to work with and flexible rallying many people together. We received our photos within 3 days, and they are absolute perfection - we cannot sing his praises enough and he is absolutely the best photographer we could have ever hoped would capture our wedding!

and a true gentleman.

tic photos, along with the classic wedding shots. The coloring in his edits enhance the beauty of the photos even more. I am seriously so obsessed. And Dennis as a human is awesome. He makes you feel so comfortable posing in the photos and he's just a great guy to talk to, which are definitely qualities you want in a photographer since they will be right by your side all day/night!

in Chicago, IL, but a few months before our wedding, we had to relocate our entire wedding to Akron, Ohio. The added stress was worth it because it got us exactly where we needed to be. We had our dream wedding (honestly, it was better than I could have envisioned) and Dennis was right there capturing all of it through his ridiculously talented eyes. I can’t express how incredibly wonderful Dennis and Mark were at our wedding. We didn’t have a videographer and it didn’t matter because the images Dennis Crider Photography gifted us are priceless. Dennis was with me from the morning through our reception and he managed to capture moments that I will forever cherish. Working with Dennis throughout the whole process was amazing, I knew from our very first conversation that he was our photographer as I felt I had known him for years. He is amazingly talented, professional, and worth more than he charges. Hiring Dennis Crider Photography is one of the best decisions you can make for your big day. (So much so that our venue has asked if they can use our photos- his photos- for their marketing.)

ly . My daughter said she appreciated how he led them to places that would be great lighting etc...and told them how to pose naturally. He is excellent! Really!! 5 star all the way!

te, then booked another wedding on our date and told us there was nothing they could do to remedy the situation, leaving us to find a new photographer. Enter Dennis Crider Photography. We contacted Dennis and explained our situation. He felt terrible about what had happened and went above and beyond to make things right. He communicated with us often, from the day we inquired, to after our photos were edited. The creativity and passion Dennis has for photography is on a different level. When you book with him it is not just a "job" or a transaction, it is a relationship. He is with you the whole way and will definitely capture every moment, making it all seem magical. His personality is outstanding! All of our guests really enjoyed being around him. It is hard to describe, but having him there to capture our day just felt right. Thank you Dennis, thank you for saving our day.

uinely feel like you are his main priority from the moment you meet. I appreciated him taking time to get to know us as a couple and hearing our priorities. He took time to meet us at our venue prior to the day of the wedding and review our plan. He was punctual on the day of the wedding and captured each element of the day so beautifully and artistically. Dennis was excellent at comfortably helping us find perfect poses that would end up being photos we will treasure forever. Everyone who sees our photos asks who did the photography and comments how wonderful the photos are. Best decision we made was choosing Dennis Crider Photography!

im (in a totally good way). Dennis captured so many great shots that our friends and family will cherish forever. We received lots of compliments on our wedding, but the most common one we heard was, "Omg, who was your photographer? That guy was awesome!". Members of our bridal party were so impressed with his creativity that they're lining up to call him for their own special days. Dennis can (and did) take a picture of a dirty puddle downtown Cleveland and made it look like the most magical/gorgeous shot -- he's that good! He even took additional time to edit our photos after the big day so we could have them exactly the way we wanted. He is dedicated to his work and ensuring you're 100% happy. He's the BEST!

k with us. On the wedding day, Dennis was calm, funny, and professional, adding to our wonderful day. (I told him if we hadn’t needed him to take pictures, I would have loved to have him as a guest - he fit right in to the celebration.) So the pictures came (quickly), and he did not disappoint! They are fantastic! It’s been 3 months now, and still look at them at least once a week to re-live the love and beauty of that day. Deb

initely shows! We are so grateful to have had him for our wedding.

g from formal group shots to candids on the dance floor flow so naturally and efficiently. He went above and beyond in every capacity. He researched picture destinations between our ceremony and reception locations and even asked our parents at the end of the night if there was anything else they wanted pictures of. Our bridal party absolutely loved him, as well! He provided updates throughout the editing process and we received our fully edited wedding album in less than a month from our wedding date. The pictures were ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! He exceeded every expectation we could have ever had and we are so lucky to have had him be a part of our day! We have both received so many compliments on the photos that we have shared on social media. Dennis perfectly captured and told the story of our wedding day. We completely trusted him with directing the day and would not have had it any other way. Dennis is the definition of a professional in that he knows his trade inside and out and you can absolutely trust that he'll take care of the details. His passion, energy, and talent seriously made our day perfect! So grateful that he was able to capture our wedding!

ughout our wedding day. He was easy to work with, prompt with communication, and guests even commented on how they had enjoyed interacting with him throughout the night. We were thrilled with our final photos and his quick turn around. Overall, highly recommend working with Dennis!

een taking charge when he needed to, and taking direction when we needed him to. He brought amazing ideas and vision to our day, and really captured the moments professionally and perfectly. Between our engagement session and our wedding day, we got an incredible value for memories that will last our entire lives. We would recommend Dennis in a heartbeat, and cannot thank him enough for his incredible work!

a blast. His creative expression and artistic ability were so evident in just that short time, that we knew we had to work with him for our wedding. Dennis and a member of his team, Mark, shot our wedding for 10 hours, gave us a few sneak peeks the next day, and then the following day, emailed us to let us know all of our photos were safe and backed up. His turnaround time for the entirety of the wedding was about 3 weeks. We will go to his studio in a week to relive the day on his huge monitors with a bottle of wine :) I never knew how much more went into shooting a wedding than just pressing a button until I worked with him and Mark. They made everyone feel so comfortable (seriously....maybe too comfortable!!) and were a super fun addition to our crew. Their artistic lens and creative ideas made for so many fun, unique, and stunning shots that I know my husband and I will treasure for the rest of our lives. If you have the opportunity, you will NOT regret going with Dennis Crider!

te stand out shots that are unlike any other! Dennis really went above and beyond to make sure every detail and emotion was captured on our special day. He is super talented, professional, fun, and such a GREAT guy to work with! Everyone complimented how amazing our photographers were not only on the day of the wedding, but again when we received all of our photos. I will be referring ANY and ALL friends and family to Dennis, we seriously love him!!!!! Thank you Dennis for being FREAKING AWESOME :)

photographer who takes amazing pictures AND seems like he's part of the wedding party. I would recommend Dennis a million times over and have only had my sneak peak so far. Every picture has been outstanding and everyone kept talking about how awesome my photographer was.

l, creative, fun and really capture the moment. Then we called him and were impressed with how down-to-earth and easy to talk to he was, and knew he would be a great fit. However, it wasn’t until our wedding day that we realized how truly AWESOME he was. You could tell how passionate he is about his photography and that he really loves what he does. It was even more exciting to see him get excited about certain shots. He was friendly, fun, professional and punctual. The bridal party enjoyed having him there getting ready with us and even the guys did too- said he was cracking them up the entire time. They also loved how quick he was with the group shots. Oh, and the photos… absolutely STUNNING. Clear images, gorgeous and unique shots- they were truly perfect- ALL OF THEM (and I’m pretty picky/particular when it comes to photos). Seriously, we get so many compliments on our pictures. Our only regret is that we didn’t know about him sooner because we would have booked engagement photos with him too! Dennis worked so hard and fast and we recommend him to the highest degree. We could not be more happy or appreciative to have had him both be part of and capture our day!!
