Since the day we met Dennis in person, he has always made it so easy to capture the most incredible moments from our engagement photos to our sneak peaks of our wedding photos! Dennis truly makes it feel like your family and not just another couple to work with! I can’t tell you how excited we are to receive the rest of our wedding photos, and share them with everyone we know and love! We can’t thank him enough for all of his hard work and dedication to creating amazing memories for us!
I will forever recommend Dennis for any one I know getting married or any moments in life that need to be captured!

Dennis was FANTASTIC!! He provided an amazing balance of the wedding bread and butter shots as well as the fun creative ones. He is a true artist and it is wonderful to watch him work. 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!!
Any questions?

Dennis took absolutely amazing save-the -date and wedding pictures of us. I wouldn’t have wanted to spend my wedding day with any other photographer! He was so fun, hilarious, and 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!

Wow. Truly do not go with anyone else. From the moment I started reaching out to Dennis he brings the wedding party energy. He is truly excited to be part of the day. He was the perfect 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.

Dennis Crider is absolutely phenomenal!! Our engagement and wedding photos are STUNNING, and not just a few of them… all of them. His skill is astronomical. His use of light and angles 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.

Dennis is AMAZING. Booking him was truly one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process. His engagement and wedding photos speak for themselves. But in addition, 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!

Where do I begin?! Dennis was absolutely amazing as our wedding photographer and ultimate hype man!! We first met with him through a zoom interview and loved his energy, personality, 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!!

I would give Dennis a million stars if I could! After one meeting with him, we cancelled all of our other photographer meetings because we knew we needed him. He made everyone feel 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.

Words can't describe how amazing our experience was with Dennis! From our engagement photos to the day of, his execution was flawless. He made our sessions so fun! On the day-of, 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!

I can't even begin to express how amazing Dennis and his work is. He was phenomenal to work with from start to finish. Both our engagement photos and our wedding album were absolutely 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

Dennis is such a talented photographer -- you can tell that by looking at his portfolio -- but what you might not see in the frame is even more important, in my opinion: he is also 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.

Dennis Crider is the MASTER of documentary photography. He was our number one choice and when we postponed and rescheduled due to COVID, we picked our Wedding Date based on his availability. 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!

Dennis (and second-shooter Mark) did such incredible work for our wedding that I want to cry just thinking about it. His photos are so true-to-life, they will feel exactly like your 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.

Where do we start. Dennis was by far the most amazing and talented photographer my husband and I have ever used. He was friendly from our first zoom meeting with him. Dennis not only 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

Wow! Where to even start with Dennis. First of all, once you see his photos, you won't want to book anyone else because they are AMAZING. He's incredibly talented and on top of it, 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!

It was the best decision to choose Dennis Crider photography for our wedding. From pre-wedding planning to the day of the wedding and to choosing photos after, everything felt incredibly smooth and professional.

Dennis was our first vendor we "locked in" and we couldn't be happier with the entire process from his quick communication response and organization to his beatiful, fun, and creative 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!

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 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!

If I could leave him 100 stars I would. One thing you shouldn't skimp on is photography and I am so incredibly glad we didn't and that we booked Dennis.
Dennis caught my eye when 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.

I was excited 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!

We felt as though 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!!

Working with Dennis was the absolute best decision we ever made. He is unbelievably talented and his work is exquisite - with both natural lighting, and dark lighting, he managed to 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!

Photography was our number one priority for our wedding. We did a lot of research and Dennis was our winner! He does it all! He gets awesome candids, as well as beautiful and artistic 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!

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.)

We had a photographer booked for our special day, then our venue forced us to change our date. Long story short, our original photographer, after confirming availability for our date, 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.

I can guarantee that you won't regret choosing Dennis Crider for your wedding photography! The first thing you'll notice about Dennis is his warm and welcoming personality. You genuinely 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!

Dennis photographed our wedding in July and was absolutely incredible!! He was flexible, fun, energetic, and really fit right in with our guests - so well that you hardly noticed him (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!

After my daughter and I initially met with Dennis about shooting their wedding, we liked him right away. He’s just a genuinely great guy and we were thrilled that he agreed to work 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

We can not recommend Dennis enough. He was BEYOND professional, responsive and so incredibly TALENTED!
Dennis brought so much positive energy to our big day that it made everything 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!

My wife and I are thrilled with how our photos turned out! Dennis was one of the best vendors of our wedding day. Working with him was fantastic. He struck the perfect balance between 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!

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 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!

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 :)

Before even seeing 1 photo, I was recommending Dennis to people at my wedding. It's one thing to have a photographer that takes amazing and unique pictures, it's another to have a 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.

INCREDIBLE. If you are looking for a photographer, hire Dennis, he really is the BEST. We were first impressed by his gallery as the images speak for themselves- they are beautiful, 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!!

Dennis is one of the most hardworking and creative people I have ever met. His work is second to none!
When we met him for our first meeting we instantly connected. He has this amazing personality that comes to life in photography. On the day of our wedding he made the entire day easy and fun, while still capturing every moment perfectly. Our entire family & wedding party had a blast with him, we wouldn't have wanted anyone else tagging along with us for those 10 hours.
If you havent looked at his Instagram or Facebook, go look now- you will be blown away. Would highly recommend. Thank you for everything Dennis, you killed it!

Dennis is absolutely perfect and amazing in every way. My husband and I know absolutely nothing about photography but from the moment we saw his photos in comparison to others it was clear that he has a talent unlike any other. Beyond that he is responsive, friendly, engaging, flexible, and makes you feel so comfortable and like you have known him forever. Dennis was SUCH an important part of our wedding day and I know the images he captured will be absolutely stunning.
This is going to be a long review so the footnotes are: choose Dennis! He is the best you will find.
He is enthusiastic and passionate about his art and he was hard at work the entire day. I am sure he was absolutely exhausted after spending the previous night with my family at our rehearsal dinner as well! He dealt with all of the personalities and input with grace and humor.
Up until the last minute Dennis gave beyond 100% in wanting to get the best photos possible. He was up on chairs, in the middle of the street, and more.
Dennis had a perfect amount of creative direction while allowing for our input throughout the day. We were so confident in his abilities that after the ceremony we decided to cancel what we had planned for group photos and wanted to just ride around on the trolley and have fun. I knew the images he would capture during this time would still capture the essence of the day and us with our wedding party.
We are all in awe of every photo we have seen so far and I have so many people reaching out to me to say how stunning they are. My friends and family are probably overwhelming him with all of their comments on his teaser photos already!

WOW. My husband and I recently got our wedding pictures back from my March wedding. I am so, so pleased with the job that Dennis did. He got some incredible shots! It's going to be hard choosing which ones to put in an album. I'm so happy that we made this investment because we'll have these photos for a lifetime and they are absolutely beautiful. He's pleasant, professional, timely. He made me feel comfortable that day. So happy with this decision.

Dennis is simply incredible! He made us feel at ease all day and I never worried about him missing a thing on our wedding day. He has unique ideas and finds really cool ways to make ordinary pictures into extraordinary works of art. He took us to a random spot I never knew existed and shot some wonderful photos that tied in perfectly with our “look”. Dennis never stops - he’s always finding new shots and making sure every memory is captured. We will cherish our day with Dennis along with the amazing photos of our wedding for a lifetime!

My partner and I recently had our engagement photo session with Dennis and the photos are AMAZING! We recently moved to Northeast Ohio and had no idea where to start looking for a photographer. I stumbled upon Dennis' Instagram and fell in love with his pics. He's super easy to work with, is extremely professional and fun, and had a great turnaround time on our photos. We would highly recommend him to anyone!

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!

Stop right here, book with Dennis Crider! Dennis is the greatest photographer of all time, hands down, no ifs ands or butts about it. This guy is amazing. I have been trying to write this for about 15 minutes because I cannot find the words to express how great Dennis is. Dennis was the first photographer we met with and we knew right away that he was the one for us. You could see the passion in his eyes as he remembered every couples name, the year, and the location of their wedding as he was showing us pictures from his portfolio. His charisma is one of a kind, as he becomes apart of your day and makes sure he gets the shots to preserve the memories. Let’s start with the photos, OMG the photos, Dennis killed it, he is very creative and will incorporate the minute details of a room to make an amazing picture. We have just 763 pictures from our day that we will proudly display throughout our home and bug out relatives with on a daily basis. That’s 763 pictures from one guy, he was everywhere, and never slowed down. His energy is amazing, he fit right in with our group as he got on the party bus with us to take pictures between the ceremony and the reception. You can see how much he loves what he does and his passion for capturing great moments, he gets so excited when he gets an amazing shot, it’s so refreshing to see that in a vendor! The day after the wedding everyone who had the opportunity to interact with Dennis throughout the night had nothing but good things to say about him. We received our photos by time we got back from the honeymoon, about two weeks’ time. I truly hope you made it to the end of this rant and call Dennis ASAP to make your wedding a once in a lifetime experience because he did that for us and we couldn’t be happier!

Dennis is a true professional, on time and courteous. He did a wonderful job recording the memories of our son's wedding reception at the Union Club in Cleveland. He was able to get all the shots we wanted and many, many more so that we have photos of our whole family and friends that shared the event. He listened to our ideas and gave us suggestions of photos. He was a pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate to use him again.

Passionate. Creative. Talented. Fun. Professional. From the first meeting to the final album order he absolutely knocked it out of the park! Dennis was incredible the day of our wedding and kept everyone comfortable and laughing- which made for some of our best candid shots. He was by far the best investment we made for our wedding day.

It's difficult to find the right words to express how incredible Dennis is. From the first five minutes of my first meeting with him back in April of 2017, I knew he was our photographer. His personality and attitude are everything that you would want in a vendor, and his photography skills are unparalleled. His second shooter, Mark, is also incredibly talented and a pleasure to work with. I think their skills complement each other well - they make a great team.
Our engagement photos were beautiful, but they did not prepare us for the incredible vision that Dennis had to tell the story of our wedding day. Our photos came back much sooner than anticipated, and over 800 images hand-selected and touched-up by him (out of over 4000 from the day) told the story of our day beautifully. We will cherish these photos forever, and are excited to create an album with Dennis to showcase our favorites.
His energy through the long, long day kept us smiling. Dennis is professional, creative, considerate, confident, easy to work with, quick to respond, and capable of dealing with some unflattering bride-zilla moments with tact. His passion for photography shows in each of the moments he captures. Our wedding party loved him, too, along with both of our parents and all of the guests who had the pleasure to interact with him. We would go through the crazy stress of having a wedding all over again just to work with him.
I wish that I could post some of the photos on here (they are just "WOW!"), but you should check out his Facebook and Instagram @denniscrider. You will be amazed - we definitely were! Contact Dennis immediately if you are considering him. He will get booked up & you don't want to miss out!

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!

Wowowowowow. I don't know where to start. My husband and I eloped on a Thursday in our local city hall. Dennis was there to make us look and feel amazing! He put in so much time and effort and gave us wonderful direction. I've never in my life seen such beautiful pictures! My husband and I are so grateful, really truly appreciative of Dennis, his talents, and for being a part of our wedding. Also, our city hall building is no great shakes and Dennis made it look fierce!

I cannot even begin to describe how amazing Dennis is! But I will try...Dennis is fantastic. I hired him for my wedding in Florida.Yes, I hired him in Ohio to shoot my Florida wedding, because I heard he is one of the best. From the beginning, Dennis was a true professional. His contact was superb. His turn around time, demeanor, and overall attitude are above par. His sense of humor is brilliant. And now I am lucky enough to have the photos he shot on my walls forever. One of the best decisions I made was hiring Dennis.

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 wedding tips/suggestions!

Dennis was our photographer for our wedding on 7/22/17. He was absolutely wonderful to work with, you can tell he loves what he does and he is amazing at what he does. He takes real genuine photos/ captures real moments, he made myself and my husband feel very comfortable and it showed in all of our pictures even during the engagement session. Our entire bridal party loved him as well ! He does amazing work, and the fact that he is fun to be around is a great bonus ! I would highly recommend Dennis to any bride. We are so incredibly happy with how our photos turned out !

As an Event Professional and now a former bride, I cannot say enough great things about Dennis Crider Photography and Dennis himself. Dennis is truly talented and a phenomenal photographer. Dennis is not afraid to get in the trenches to get that perfect shot and is extremely engaging with the wedding party, friends and family. He is the best of the best. When it finally came time for my own wedding, I knew exactly who to call. Dennis was someone I could trust 100% to capture and immortalize our special day. He even agreed to travel out of state for my wedding in Lexington, KY. If you're in the market for wedding photographer, there is no one better than Dennis Crider.! Thank you for making my day just that much more special, Dennis!

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 :)
