    I had two photographers and they were professional, upbeat, thoughtful. I also had a videographer, who not only paid attention to detail, but gave me great advice. Dean Micheal's Studio was phenomenal! One of my bridesmaids commented that they loved that the photographers captured every detail. They took so many pictures in creative ways too. I can't wait to see the pictures! Also, before your wedding, a rep will contact you to make sure you have everything you need and give you time lines. It was super helpful that I could write questions and change times with quick replies. Book them!!!

    We loved working with Dean Michaels Studio for our wedding photography! The studio was recommended by the Knot, but their picture quality, great reviews and straightforward and transparent communication were the features that made us choose them over other photography services. We went with the economy package to keep to our budget and chose luxe edit for our primary wedding photo. Christy answered all our questions thoroughly and assigned us Aggie as our lead photographer, whom we absolutely loved. Aggie reached out prior to the wedding to go over the schedule and was punctual (and by that I mean early) to our first location for the photo shoot prior to the ceremony. Aggie was professional and sharply focused on the best angles, background, photo opportunities, and behavior that favored us (she kept our large bridal party of all personalities unanimously focused on the goal of getting all the possible family photos at our 2-location photo shoot prior to the ceremony. Quite a feat.) We received the final photos about a month our event and they were organized in sections (photo shoot, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception), and we’re easy to download and share with family and friends. As expected, the quality of the photos was extraordinary and we were crying and laughing over all the memories and emotional state each photo captured. The luxe edit photo was stunning and was brimming with our love. I’m looking forward to printing so many of the photos and sending albums to our families!

    We used Dean Michaels Studio for our photography and videography. Despite our wedding day not having the best weather, Laura and Rich made it work and ended up getting some of the most beautiful wedding shots I've ever seen. They worked to make us comfortable and ensured we stayed with our timeline so that we could actually enjoy our cocktail hour and reception without feeling like we were taking pictures all night. Additionally, the video came out like a movie - the different camera angles that they were able to capture were STUNNING and really made it feel like we were reliving our special day. We can't stop watching it. The icing on the (wedding) cake was that their prices were incredibly reasonable compared to other vendors, and we didn't sacrifice anything in terms of quality.
