about
Here at Dennis Crider Photography, we love being Cleveland, Ohio based artists. This city is amazing! We know every nook, cranny and epic location for your portraits or wedding pics. We also love traveling, so if you’re planning a destination wedding or elopement, we are your crew. Adventure always has a way of stimulating our creative muscles!
We thrive on the wide range of challenges that come with each wedding day. We also pride ourselves in our ability to create incredible photos, under any circumstance, that capture your unique personality. To us, photography is an art form and we’re constantly implementing new techniques that push us to new levels of awesomeness! All the while making sure to document the little moments that tell the story of your day.
Moments you may have missed or didn’t even know were happening because you were preoccupied with, you know, getting married! Learning in photography is a never ending process. Every day, every weekend, and every opportunity to be behind the camera becomes a chance to broaden our creative eye. It allows us to see beyond the obvious, to perceive those little nuances and subtleties and capitalize on them resulting in truly stunning images.

Dennis Crider - Owner and Lead Artist
I have been shooting wedding for 14 years. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long but I cannot see myself doing anything but capturing the love of two others and the incredible moments that happen between the bigger ones that happen on a wedding day. Making moments into works of art that you can feel for years beyond that special day. I have a creative eye for going above the typical standard wedding photography. I want to create the photos that are timeless and cinematic, to the point that others will look in awe of your wedding day. I have a very easy going personality that doesn’t get razed by the other crazy things that happen on your wedding day. Rather, I am the guy that will incorporate those things into your wedding day. Bad weather? That’s okay! Bring it as it will give me an opportunity to create something amazing for you. Let me show you how incredible your day will be.
Mark Kalman - Primary Artist
Mark is a very experienced photographer with more years than even myself. He is an incredible moment catcher and the artistic approach to the wedding day is 2nd to none in my opinion. His ability to blend in and capture a photo that happens between the major moments is impressive to say the least. He has transcended from the typical standard photos couple expect and goes beyond that and give an extraordinary approach to making a wedding the best you have seen. He will keep your day fun and energetic with such style and grace. His creative eye is amazing to watch. Even better to see later in your gallery.
Mark is my primary photographer and he will capture your day and all those little moments that you didn’t know happened.
