    My fiancé and I just received the photos from our engagement shoot with Rich and we are so in love with how they turned out! From the time of our first call, the entire crew at Dean Michaels Studio has been an absolute pleasure to work with. They are kind, responsive, and quick to adapt in unforeseen circumstances (like the park we chose being closed!). We are so happy with our choice to book Dean Michaels Studio for our wedding photos and videos next year!

It means the world to us that you’ve had such a great experience so far (even with the surprise park closure!) We seriously can't wait to be part of your big day next year and capture even more amazing memories. It’s going to be incredible! - Chrissy, Alec & DMS Family

    Rich from Dean Michaels Studio was a true professional from start to finish. He showed a genuine interest in understanding what we wanted for our wedding day. Rich could not have been more kind and patient with me as I worked through my anxiety of having my picture taken. On the day of the wedding, he captured all the special moments beautifully. I could not recommend him enough.

    Dean Michaels Studio went above and beyond on our wedding journey! From inquiring, to booking, to our engagement shoot, and finally the wedding day Chrissy answered every email quickly and professionally. From our engagement shoot to our wedding, our photographer Laura had us laughing. She made us so comfortable behind the camera and was so patient with my older family members. Our videographer Chuck, also made us feel so comfortable and left out no detail. He gave great direction that left us feeling confident while also having fun. Both made sure to capture our love story just the way we wanted! We love our photos and videos and can't recommend Dean Michaels Studio enough!

    We cannot recommend Laura, Rich, and Fred highly enough! From start to finish, they made our wedding day feel effortless and truly special. Laura has an incredible eye for detail and an amazing talent for capturing genuine moments—every photo tells a story and reflects the joy, love, and excitement of the day. Rich and Fred were fantastic as well, helping everything run smoothly and making sure everyone felt comfortable and relaxed. Together, they were professional, kind, and calm under pressure, bringing creativity, warmth, and a sense of fun to every moment. Looking back at our wedding photos, we are absolutely in awe—they are beyond anything we could have imagined. This team didn’t just photograph our wedding; they captured our memories in the most beautiful, timeless way. We are so grateful to Laura, Rich, and Fred and feel incredibly lucky to have had them as our photographers!
