We used Dean Michaels for our December wedding. Everything from the posted photos to the candid shots were phenomenal. They made sure we got all of our pictures done and still had a great time at our reception. The only complaint I have is that we cannot figure out what photos to put in our album because they were all fantastic. I would recommend Dean Michaels to anyone who is looking for a photographer and am looking forward to using them again!

I had the best experience with Dean Michaels Studio. My husband and I used the studio for our engagement pictures and for our wedding day. The pictures came out beautiful! Everyone was great to work with. They were patient and kind. The studio answered phone calls and emails immediately. They made picture taking less stressful and kept everyone relaxed which helped me feel more comfortable being in front of the camera. My husband and I are looking forward to using Dean Michaels Studio for future photo sessions.

I really enjoyed working with Dean Michaels Studio and our awesome photographer Kartheek! He was very friendly and we got along very well! He was great about walking through my vision and plan for the day but also great about taking awesome spur-of-the-moment shots. The photos came out absolutely gorgeous and I am so happy we will have them to look back on forever! I'm in love with how pretty they came out!

We booked Dean Michaels Studio for our engagement shoot and wedding day. We recently got back our engagement shoot photos and are absolutely in love with how they came out! We had Rich for our shoot, who paid close attention to detail and was super helpful in guiding our poses. We were nervous at first, but it was obvious he knew what he was doing which put us at ease. We are excited to be using them for our wedding as well because we know we will be in good hands!

We used Dean Michaels for our wedding and from start to finish they were absolutely amazing to work with. Christin is the sweetest and was so helpful. any questions I had she responded so quickly and was so great to work with when we needed to postpone our 2020 wedding. Rich was our photographer for our engagement photos. He took his time and our photos came out beautiful.
The day of the wedding, Maggie was my photographer and Alex our videographer and they were absolutely amazing. My family kept talking about how detailed they were and how they were going to recommend them to others they know we're getting married. When we got our photos and video I was absolutely blown away. I can't believe how many beautiful photos they took and I can't stop looking at our wedding video. Thank you to the amazing Dean Michaels for making our wedding an absolute fairytale.

Dean Michaels Studio has been the best throughout our whole wedding planning process. Rich and Maggie were our wedding photographers and Eli was our wedding videographer. All of them not only did an amazing job with everything, but they are also the nicest people to work with. We recently received all of our wedding photos and videos back, and they are nothing short of amazing.
We are so happy with all the photo and video edits. Dean Michaels Studio has been so responsive and easy to work with along the way. We would look forward to using them again for any major life events.

We used Dean Michaels Studio for our wedding and were blown away! Our photographers were Laura and Anthony, and videographers were Alex and Benjamin. Each of them had an amazing, upbeat attitude throughout the long day. Our photographers were friendly and inviting, encouraging relaxed and happy pictures. They captured everything we asked for and genuinely seemed excited about the pictures they were taking.
Our photos and videos were nothing short of amazing. The staff was responsive to our emails, phone calls, and requests, and we had all of our edited photos earlier than the promised date. We highly recommend this studio!

My fiance and I recently did our engagement shoot with Richard, and the photos turned out AMAZING! We were blown away by the amount of time Rich put into discussing preparations and helping us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. He was so kind to shoot in 3 separate locations to capture places that were meaningful to our relationship and give us the winter wonderland engagement shoot we always dreamed of thank you so much, Rich! We are beyond grateful!

Our wedding was 11/29/19 and I can honestly say we had a great experience with Dean Michaels. I booked through Christin and she was great to work with. Christin answered my questions almost immediately. I never had to wait for a response. She made me feel at ease and reassured me that the photographers and videographers would capture everything that I expected. (THANK YOU CHRISTIN!)I sent pictures of images I wanted to recreate, and the photographers did exactly that.
They made sure to capture everything that my fiance and I asked. They went above and beyond for us and didn't add stress to our day. We are still waiting on our video, but just got our pictures back and I am so impressed with how they turned out. All of the photos are absolutely stunning and I couldn't be more satisfied. I can't wait to get our album and video. You won't be disappointed if you book with Dean Michaels Studio, that's for sure! Thank you for capturing the most important day of our lives.
