    Awesome photographer

    We loved working with Dennis! I fell in love with his artsy yet authentic style when we were looking for a photographer. He was slightly above budget but he was well worth it! Dennis was a lot of fun to work with. My husband doesn't like being in pictures but Dennis made him feel comfortable and handsome. We are also dancers so having a photographer who could capture the dancefloor fun well was really important to us--Dennis delivered in that as well! I have litterally only one compliant: I had a special detail added to my bouquet to honor my grandfather that he did not capture in any pictures, which is unfortunate but that's okay.

    Exceptional!

    The best decision you could make for your wedding is choosing Dennis as your photographer. If you want a someone who is artistic, creative, thoughtful, efficient, and exceptional at capturing the little (and big!) 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!

    Dennis Crider Photography's reply:

    YAY!! You guys are so awesome for such a great review! Thank you so much! Loved being there for you both and will always remember your day.

    An eye for detail, Down to earth pro

    Dennis went above and beyond for our wedding. He arrived early with clear vision for each shot, and was an easy presence to have on our wedding day. His creativity was apparent in the way he looked for unique, beautiful shots all day long. We are looking forward to seeing the hidden moments of our day thanks to Dennis’s work.

    Practically an honorary member of the bridal party!

    Dennis was a phenomenal wedding photographer. He made me feel comfortable despite having no idea how to pose, he was efficient, and his photos were like something out of a magazine. Not to mention his turnaround was INCREDIBLY fast! I would trust Dennis with any photography project!

    One of the best decisions you can make.

    My husband and I got married 9/12/2020. As you can imagine, we had many challenges planning a pandemic wedding, but we were set on our 9/12/2020 date. We planned a complete wedding 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.) I’ll let some of these images speak for themselves.

    We love dennis!

    We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Dennis. We started off with an engagement session to feel out our connection. He came to our family farm and we just had 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 2 weeks. We will go to his studio next 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!

    Dennis Crider Photography's reply:

    LOVE!!!!!!! You guys were so amazing! Thank you for choosing me! It was an honor to say the least to be there for you and your whole family. I can't wait to share your story with everyone online.

    Best photographer in cleveland!

    All i can say is WOW, if I could give 100 stars I would! I was in a wedding Dennis photographed and I just knew he was the one when I got engaged! He is always working hard to create 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 :)

    Most beautiful photos ever!

    Dennis was incredible! He was genuinely so excited to shoot my son’s wedding. His enthusiasm and energy was fantastic. I have never seen a photographer work so hard for so long. The emotion and love that he managed to capture that day was extraordinary. The photos were really so unique and beautiful....not your typical standard, run-of-the-mill wedding photos. You can definitely see how passionate he is about his art, and how he truly cares about the bride and groom’s special day. Thanks for making it even more perfect!

    Working with Dennis was an absolute dream! He is easy to work with, seeks to not only provide best in class service, but also works hard to get to know the bride and groom, so that the moments captured are not only awe inspiring, but truly memorable. He is highly talented, professional, and always seeks to go above and beyond for his clients. The photographer is one of the most important vendors in a wedding, and we are grateful he was our pick! Because of him, we can relive our wedding day, each and every day and will forever be grateful!

    Choosing Dennis as our wedding photographer was the best decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. He was the hit of our wedding – in a good way! Our family and friends could not stop talking about how incredible he was. Everyone was so impressed with him. And our photos, wow, where do I even begin? They are so stunning and we could not be more in love with them. There wasn’t much to work with in terms of locations for photos at our venue and he managed to produce some seriously amazing shots. The turnaround time was quicker than I ever imagined too! Dennis beautifully captured the most special moments and I am so thankful I will have these images to cherish for the rest of my life.

    You will not be disappointed if you work with Dennis! He is so much fun and has a great personality. He is my first recommendation to anyone that asks me for tips/suggestions!

    WOW was Dennis amazing to work with. We met Dennis through a family member and we are so glad we were able to work with him for our wedding. He did our engagement photos and our wedding photos and he was a blast to work with and his photos are so unique and amazing. He was super responsive to emails and very flexible with our schedules being from out of town. On the day of the wedding, he made everything run so smoothly and he captured all of the special moments of the day. He delivered photos in a very timely manner and gave us some sneak peaks which made us so excited to see the final products. We would recommend Dennis 100% to anyone who is looking for an amazing, talented photographer :)

    One of my co-workers recommended Dennis to me. As soon as I viewed his portfolio online, I knew he would be absolutely fantastic. Then, when my husband and I met him in person it took no more then 2 minutes for us to be completely SOLD. He has one of the best personalities that you will ever meet. He really focuses on what you as the bride and groom want to capture on your special day. I promise you he will capture every emotion from your special day. My Grandparents, who were 86 and 87 on my wedding day were able to make it to my ceremony. Something that Dennis did (without me even knowing) was capture over a dozen photos of the two of them. A few weeks after the wedding, we received news that my grandpa would not make it much longer. I reached out to Dennis and mentioned to him that my Grandpa said he had taken a few photos of the two of them and if it was possible for Dennis to just send me those. Dennis had them ready for me in less than 24 hours and when I showed my grandparents, they had tears of happiness. My grandfather recently passed, but thanks to Dennis he was able to enjoy those photos of him and my grandma. Dennis goes above and beyond for every single wedding. Choosing him was one of the best choices we made. We look at some of our photos at least once a day. They are absolutely perfect and truly gorgeous.. Thank you again Dennis. You are one of a kind.

    Dennis was awesome to work with! He made our photoshoot a lot of fun and easy to do. We used him for our engagement photos and he was a great choice! He climbed a tree, laid in the mud just to get the perfect shot. I would definietly reccommend him to anyone looking for a photographer!

    It was crucial to me to have a photographer that understands my style and knows what I like. It was also important to me that our photographer makes my then fiancé now husband feel comfortable in front of the camera! Dennis succeeded my expectations in both of these areas. I looked exhaustively for photographers because it was a big component of the wedding for me and after interviewing many we decided on Dennis because his portfolio of work moved me. He's really able to capture the feelings and special moments of your big day on camera and he has a knack for being at the right place at the right time to capture the best candid shots! We recently got our photos back and everyone absolutely loved them. From the moment we booked him to the engagement pictures to the wedding day to delivering your pictures Dennis was responsive, helpful, friendly, professional and just a joy to work with! He was one of my favorite vendors of my wedding. You will not regret booking Dennis for your wedding!

    Dennis was absolutely amazing! He took great photos and got them back to us in just a couple of weeks. He was able to fit right in to the event and get the exact feel we were looking for when hardly knowing us. People came up to me and said that it was nice we were able to get a family friend to take the photos but we had only actually met Dennis a couple of days before the event!
    Dennis was able to get through the "formal" family shots quickly, which everyone appreciated, giving us more time for fun and romantic pictures. He asked us if it would be okay if he took my husband and I away at different times throughout the evening if there was a good photo opportunity and it was the best choice we made! It gave my husband and I time to be together and reflect on the day and take everything in while also allowing for some great pictures!

    Picking Dennis for our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! His photos are amazing - for both our engagement shoot and our wedding day, he was able to really capture the essence of the moment, to capture how we felt that day, and do it in a fresh, authentic, and beautiful way. Whenever we show people our wedding pictures, they are amazed and always say "Wow, your photographer was amazing!" He is willing to do whatever it takes to get the shot (climbing, crawling, you name it) and his passion for his work is evident. Best of all, not only is he great at setting up photos, but also just at capturing real, genuine moments and emotion. He is so fun to work with, super responsive with emails and phone calls, and the turnaround time on the photos is crazy awesome! We got our wedding pictures in 2 weeks!! You can't go wrong with Dennis, he is amazing.

    Dennis is THE best at capturing the special moments/features of any wedding. He knows what he is doing, is professional and can fit into any weddibg crowd. He has an eye for memorable pictures and his specialty is the non-staged moments. I loved working with this guy!!!

    Dennis photographed my fall wedding on October 16, 2015. I should say, he not only photographed the wedding...he captured so many memories and told a story. He was beyond professional and made my husband and I feel so comfortable! Dennis captured moments. That's what we wanted! We didn't want many posed photos. He offered so many suggestions that we never even thought of. Dennis has such an eye for this and he has found his calling...the photos, are beyond amazing. I've shown a few to friends and they all have mentioned how awesome my photographer is. With Dennis, you get someone who genuinely loves what they do and is there to give you the best experience through photos. If I could, we'd get married again just to have Dennis capture the day. Not only does he have a passion for what he does, he is so kind and makes you feel so comfortable. My husband, doesn't like to be in front of the camera...but you can't tell at all by the pictures!! Maybe because he gets so many wonderful candid shots. You will NOT be disappointed. Dennis is the best, truly. I don't know how he doesn't charge so much more because he is worth so much more! As the saying goes, you get what you pay for...I paid and Dennis delivered an amazing product! Dennis had no problem letting me see other weddings that he photographed so I could make sure that he did what I wanted. I had an issue with another photographer who didn't let me...that's a sign! Again, Dennis was exceptional and you're missing out if you don't choose him to photograph the most special day in your life!!

    Dennis exceeded our expectations in every way. We were very nervous to hire a photographer because it's such an investment, but from the moment we first spoke with him we were at ease. His personality and sense of humor made our big day SO MUCH FUN...he was an awesome addition to our wedding party. We were actually sad when he had to leave at the end of the night! Our photos turned out AMAZING...even the few he sent to my cell phone on our wedding day without any editing literally blew me away. Every shot he showed I wanted to hug him! And I told him that too, haha. I joke that we will be traveling to Cleveland for every future photo shoot just so we can work with Dennis (we live in Florida). Seriously can not give him a better recommendation!

    Dennis photographed our wedding this summer on July 12 and we were blown away by his talent. Dennis not only has an eye for detail, but he genuinely cares about the work that he does down to the very last detail. My husband and I are a bit nervous in front of the camera but Dennis went out of his way to make us comfortable. He is not only talented at what he does, but is truly a kind and caring professional.
    Our wedding album arrived last evening, we sat down and appreciated every single moment of our wedding day. I didn't hire a videographer because I had faith that Dennis would be able to capture our day in a more special way — he did. Each photo he took told a story that will be a beautiful memory for us and our families to treasure for years to come!

    I cannot say enough great things about Dennis. He has such a passion for his work and has an eye for awesomely unique and beautiful pictures. He is a master at capturing the natural and special moments and this makes his pictures one of a kind. He is a joy to work with- he makes photo shoots fun and natural and not at all awkward. He makes YOU the priority always and is genuinely not happy unless you are getting the absolute best service. Our engagement photos were beautiful and we cannot wait to see the final product for our wedding photos. We love Dennis and his work!

    Dennis Crider photography is absolutely amazing. First of all Dennis' attitude and humor was a great addition to our wedding party! He kept things really fun the day of. All of my bridesmaids and groomsmen also loved Dennis. Our photos turned out fabulous! You can tell he really loves what he does, and to me that is really important. Our photos were unique and just what I wanted. He is always on time and looks professional. I also think its important that a photographer does what you want and whats important to you, and Dennis paid attention to all of the things that were important to me and my new husband. Dennis is constantly improving in his work and I am ecstatic about our photos. Thank you Dennis for all of your help and hard work in making our day awesome!!! I will continue to recommend Dennis Crider photography and I will be using you in the future again for sure!!!!!
