Dee was absolutely incredible as the photographer for our wedding. She was so helpful and really talked through everything with us leading up to it. She knew how to run a schedule ...
and it honestly helped our other vendors stay on track as well. She made sure we got all of the pictures we wanted in the time frame that we had.
When we were showing photos to friends and family afterwards everyone was impressed with how many AMAZING photos there were. Like seriously so hard to pick favorites. I felt like she really captured our personality in these pictures. I could not recommend her more.

edding we did an engagement shoot as well to get to know each other which was also really helpful! The day of was perfect and she really captured the magic of the big and simple moments. She was fantastic at directing people and making them feel comfortable in front of the camera. I love capturing candid moments and Dee helped us do this.
Not only that, a few days before the wedding my husband got an unexpected head injury. Thanks to our makeup artist and Dee's magic editing you wouldn't know this was the case! She really went above and beyond to make our wedding photos special.

Dee at 13 One Photography was so knowledgeable on good posing and helpful during both our engagement shoot and throughout the wedding night, and just generally so fun to work with!...
While this was a total bonus, she was definitely a huge help in figuring out the bustle to my dress as well - a perk of being in the business, I'm sure. We are so excited to see all of the pictures!!

ndreds of photos she did such a great job capturing. She’s sensitive to the right lighting, composition, how to get babies to look at the camera, she knew my venue (Olmsted Lodge and the greenhouse across the street), she got me a Tide to go Stick when I got leaf gunk on my dress right before the ceremony, she was quick to respond via email and text, she was a great listener at our meetings and got our vision down, and she’s quick on her feet: when our ceremony went long, she managed to get us right back on schedule for dinner! The treasure trove of photos that capture the beautiful day so well is such a timeless gift. She can blend in effortlessly, but she’s also an artist that stands out and a warm human being - Dee’s got it all!

e took pictures of small details and guests that I did not even think of. My husband and I had a 1 year old child and she was able to capture his attention for some of our favorite photos. She gathered my mother and father's siblings for a group photo, many married couples during the ceremony, and my nanny taking care of our son.
Dee was professional, kind, and we felt comfortable and at ease. She also familiarizes herself with the venue to ensure the best shots in an efficient manner to allow for the most time with our guests. I would highly recommend 13onePhotography as your wedding photographer!

She was very organized and had everything planned out ahead of time so that we weren't trying to make decisions last minute, saving us so much stress and keeping us on schedule. She was very flexible and worked with us with time and budget wise because we had a small wedding and didn't have a traditonal reception. We would highly recommend her to anyone.

Dee (owner of 13 One) is just phenomenal!
She helped us plan out pretty much every minute of our special day. She had no issues taking all of our phone calls leading up to the day ...
even if we may have been a little over the top.
She traveled to Albany to shoot our wedding. She was not familiar with the area, but she spent the day before the wedding scouting out locations Downtown for us to do our first look.
Throughout the wedding day she provided a calming presence and a great attitude that made us feel comfortable and at ease while being photographed.
She is a fantastic photographer and an even better person. If you have a chance please do yourself a favor and hire Dee to photograph your wedding.

the photographers that I messaged back and forth with, or spoke with on the phone, it was clear that Dee (owner of 13 One Photography) was the right choice for us. Not only was she immediately reliable, but she was so helpful with the entire planning process. When I was flustered or didn't know what to do, I reached out to Dee. She's an incredibly hard worker and really listens to what you want and provides such helpful advice. I am SO grateful that we hired her. On the day of the wedding she showed up and immediately got to work and went above and beyond what we expected from her. She's so easy to get along with and fun to work with. And of course, the pictures! The pictures came out beautifully! I have zero complaints and I will be recommending 13 One Photography to everyone I know. She is worth every penny and then some.

She got all the detail shots we wanted, amazing candids that captured the essence of the day, and posed photos that still looked natural. After our big day she quickly sent sneak peaks and returned our full gallery so quick. We love every picture! Throughout the entire planning process, which required 3 postponements due to covid, she has been flexible and easy to communicate with. Post- wedding she continues to answer our questions and work with us on ordering products. Dee is amazing, look no further for your wedding photographer!

details and structure of the day, and it really helped to envision how our wedding day would play out. When the day finally came, everything was so effortless and easy- I just knew the photographs were going to be breathtaking. We recently got our pictures back and I can't wait to fill our wedding album, the memories of that day are priceless and now we can cherish them forever. All the pictures came out beautifully and we couldn't be happier!

un on our wedding day. If I had a random idea for a photo, she immediately was on it and captured each and every moment for us. She is thorough and always ready for an adventure. My mom wanted me to add that Dee was personable, easy to get along with, and always ready to accommodate the needs of the whole family (we have 9 on my side, and almost 20 on Sean’s with about 10 children between the two!!). Dee, thank you so much for capturing our incredibly special day Sean and I waited for so long to enjoy. These are memories that we will get to share for years and years to come, to our friends, family, future children and grandchildren. I would suggest Dee to any couple looking for bright and happy photos that capture your moments well! She makes her work well worth what you pay for!

w our engagement photos came out). Unfortunately, we were only able to do our engagement photos with her, because of unforeseen circumstances she won't be able to join us for our wedding in August. However, she gave us abundant notice of her very legitimate reason to not be able to photograph our wedding, provided us with several other photographers' contacts whom she had confirmed were available and in our price range, and generally handled a tough situation with great aplomb. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a fun and talented photographer to capture their wedding!!

irly tale wedding. The day goes so fast and all you have to remember it is the pictures, so I started my search first and long to find the perfect one. And I did. Dee is absolutely incredible to work with!! She is a very talented photographer, taking breath taking pictures and she is a pleasure to work with! She is so much fun and she keeps everyone on time with photos/shots! We had the pleasure of getting to know Dee the past year. Starting with our engagement shoot with our puppy last year, then boudoir photos (Ladies - second best day of my life, after the wedding of course, nothing like getting all dolled up wrapped in sexy clothes, Dee made the experience so much fun, easy and super comfortable), and of course, spending our entire wedding day together. She brought a second assistance to shoot the day as well, which worked out perfect. They were with us from getting ready to the final moments of the night. Absolutely incredible. I can't say enough about Dee, she is amazing, has great deals/packages and the pictures are perfect. Thank you for everything Dee! We will be seeing you soon for more pictures in the future :)

We had the formals and then just beautiful stunning poses that you normally just wouldn't think of. Who would have thought that during our photos my husband would pick up the phone to take a picture of our photographer that got on her husbands shoulders to get an amazing shot of me!!! Her communication was great and we had the photos and rights in our hands within a week and a half. There wasn't a bad photo taken. I can't wait for the Rock the Dress Session next. If you are looking for stunning photos with a great couple call Dee and Mike! During the ceremony Mike even was helping my sister with her sons pacifier. They are an amazing couple that captured all of the tender moments at the wedding. We have my husband crying at our daughters speech to my sisters pulling pranks! Thanks Dee!
