William Kranski Photography

Bill is truly one of a kind. From the moment he arrived, he was so lighthearted, genuine, and incredibly passionate about capturing all of the beauty and emotion of our wedding day. His presence made everything feel natural and fun, and it was so clear how much he genuinely cared about documenting our day in a meaningful way. Bill was exceptional in every sense of the word. He went above and beyond for us throughout the day, capturing not only the big moments, but all of the little details and emotions that made our wedding so special. His passion for what he does is undeniable, and we feel incredibly lucky that he was the person behind the camera for such an important day in our lives. We truly could not have been happier with our experience. We are so grateful for everything Bill did for us and, even more than that, so grateful that he was part of our wedding day. We cannot recommend him highly enough!

We cannot recommend Bill Kranski of William Kranski Photography enough! We found him through The Knot and were immediately drawn to both the beauty of his work and his very reasonable pricing. After watching several wedding films on his website, we loved how naturally he captured each wedding. Nothing felt staged or overly produced—the films captured the real emotions and moments of the day. We booked Bill very last-minute, so we especially appreciated how easy he was to work with. He was quick to respond, got contracts and forms to us promptly, and took the time to understand what we wanted and explain how he worked. He also allowed us to customize our package, which was incredibly helpful. On the wedding day, Bill was wonderful to work with. He worked seamlessly with our photographer, Patrick Stromme, and respected our request to stay mostly in the background and shadow the photographer. We often forgot he was even there! He would occasionally suggest a shot he wanted to capture, and every one turned out amazing. Bill was also incredibly good at using his time. During lulls, he captured drone footage of the venue and little details we never would have thought to ask for; loons on the lake, moths, our dogs, the food, and so many other details that helped tell the story of our day. He went with the flow, quickly set up multiple cameras for our ceremony, and would ask others for direction to keep stress low for us. One of my favorite things about the finished videos is how Bill captured moments we didn't even realize were happening. He captured movement and angles that photographs can't, along with emotions that can change across someone's face in just seconds. He truly didn't seem to miss a beat. And the turnaround time was AMAZING. Bill had our ceremony, vows, and speeches ready for us the day after our wedding, and we received our highlight video while we were still on our honeymoon! I honestly think I've cried more after the wedding watching our videos than I did on the actual wedding day. We've watched our highlight video so many times, and every time I notice something new or remember something I'd forgotten. I especially love hearing snippets of our vows throughout the highlight video. Hearing laughter, whispered comments, and the voices of the people we love brings me right back to those moments. The highlight film feels cinematic without overwhelming the natural emotions of the day, while the ceremony, vows, and speeches feel wonderfully documentary, exactly what we wanted. Photos let us remember what our wedding looked like, but our wedding video lets us relive the emotion of the day. Someday, when we look back on our wedding, we're going to be so grateful to have these videos as a reminder of the love we have for each other, the support of everyone around us, and how beautiful that day truly was. If you're considering hiring Bill Kranski, DO IT! He is personable, professional, easy to work with, communicates well, is willing to travel, and is clearly dedicated to giving every couple his best work. We are incredibly grateful that he helped us preserve the memories and emotions of our wedding day.
