Natalie Trabbold Married couple on 17 Aug 2024

Look no further!!! Photography and videography was hands down the most important decision of my wedding day. I needed someone I knew I could trust and cover every aspect. I am SO happy I chose Dean Michaels Studio. From start to finish, I never doubted anything. The booking process was so great. Just received my videos today and I am in awe! The pictures are everything I could’ve dreamed of. The whole photography/ videography team on my wedding day were so professional and definitely knew what they were doing. We had SO many compliments from guests about them. If you are deciding on a Same Day Edit - DO IT! Best decision ever. I can’t thank the whole DMS team enough - for capturing my day perfectly and never having to worry.

If I could give them 10 stars I would! They went above and beyond for my wedding day! Reena and Ben were fabulous photographers. I had Reena with me the entire time and she was working nonstop. Her energy was fabulous! Our videographers were on top of everything and I felt like I had paparazzi following me around - it was amazing. I never liked photos of myself, but when I saw a couple photos of myself I cried - I looked BEAUTIFUL. I couldn’t believe it at first. Trust them and how they work and they will make sure you feel beautiful and happy on your special day! :)

Casandra Panea Married couple on 06 Jul 2024

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!

Michelle S. Married couple on 15 Jun 2024

Dean Michaels was amazing and I highly recommend them. They were very professional, thorough, attentive and responsive. Our lead photographer for our engagement photos and wedding photos was Laura. She was hustling and went above and beyond. Our friends and family mentioned how exceptional she was. She did a phenomenal job capturing every moment, and the final products are high quality and beautiful. Fantastic service and worth the money (you get what you pay for)! Do yourself a favor and hire Dean Michaels Studios for your special day-You won’t be disappointed!
