About Me
Hey! My name is Tony McCrackin, I'm a photographer living in Broad Ripple, Indianapolis. I am fueled by many passions, all centered around a passion and love for people. My love for photography came from capturing that passion - capturing people in their best, and in their most joyous.
I took this dream full time and moved to Indianapolis after graduating college in fall 2019. Photography went from being a part time thing to my whole income within a couple years, and I haven't looked back. Growing forward in my own skills, and in ways that I am able to offer photography to others.
My professional photography can be put into two major camps, portraiture and the performing arts.
Within the performing arts, I am one of the preeminent photographers in the marching arts activity, working for events companies, their partners and sponsors, and several renowned and championship ensembles. I have earned several awards from within my community of Marching Arts Media professionals, including Photo of the Year in 2025.
The second half of my work focuses around weddings, engagements, and senior photos. I have found photography an incredible medium through which I can build great relationships and do incredible good for people and their lives, so offering these services has only ever made sense to me as I aim to create work that serves my community and connects people.
In my personal life I also frequently have a camera on me, documenting my family, my friends, and my loved ones. This is some of my most personally meaningful work, and my greatest creative satisfaction has become being able to print photo books for my family each year.
In my time spent without a camera in hand, I enjoy being with family and friends, exploring Indianapolis, and finding new music to fall in love with and listen to on repeat.
Testimonials
Beth Schoenlein
"Our family had a wonderful experience documenting my son's college graduation with Tony. Tony was very professional, but also very personable, which made it very easy for us to relax and enjoy the experience. He was able to elicit genuine smiles and sweet interactions between members of our family that made great photographic memories for us. In addition, he made arranging the session and paying for the session quick and easy, and that flexibility helped us a lot in determining the right date and package for us. We highly recommend Tony's services for all occasions!"

"Tony took my daughter’s senior photos, and she and I both had a great experience! He did a wonderful job helping her feel comfortable and confident. I was especially happy that he took care to work in elements of her band life into her photos. He was a master at working with the surroundings to create amazing photos that look more like art than senior photos! We were very happy with the whole experience and highly recommend Tony and his services to any student looking for a highly professional, affordable, and creative photographer to make memories that last!"
