Dean exceeded our expectations. He was super attentive and made the whole process less nerve wrecking , as I am a very shy person. Concerns and suggestions were welcome without judgement . He truly was very patient and warm. I could not be happier with the end product. Dean Photography offered superb customer service. Constant communication throughout and delivered on his word. I would highly recommend Dean Mackay Photography for any occasion.
Dean was terrific. He went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our photos. He FaceTime with us shortly after booking (we were very much not local), met with us the day before at the site to help brain storm shots, and really delivered a wonderful set of photos. We can't recommend Dean enough!
My husband and I are so happy we chose Dean to be our wedding photographer. He left us an amazing gallery of 700+ photos to choose from. He has an excellent attention to detail. He came to our venue the day before the ceremony at the time of the wedding to make sure he got the lighting and all of the posed photo spots picked out. He was extremely fairly priced, and did great work with all of the photos we received back. He communicated with us often in the months leading up to the wedding as well as after when we were getting the photos back, even offering some prints to us. He was professional, fun, and friendly. Dean went above and beyond with our wedding photos, and we would be happy to recommend him to anyone needing a professional photographer.
From the moment we met Dean we knew we found our photographer. He has very good communication skills and willing to go above and beyond for you which a lot of times you don't get that anymore. We were very happy with our pictures there were so many which made it hard to choose from we hope to use him again.

Dean was incredible to work with and was thoughtful throughout the whole process- which helped ease our minds a lot! He remained in touch and was communicative from start to finish. He's very attentive, detail-oriented, professional, and friendly!
Dean SAVED THE DAY! We had been searching and searching for a family photographer to photograph us in Joshua Tree National Park for our maternity pics and were not having any luck. A colleague of mine referred Dean to us and within minutes of reaching out to him, he accepted the job with enthusiasm and we started planning immediately. The day of our photoshoot was seamless. He spent hours with us in multiple spots throughout the park and our photos were just STUNNING. Do not think twice about hiring Dean for all your photography needs. He will truly capture each and every moment beautifully and you will not be disappointed!
We had family photos with Dean and couldn’t be happier. He managed to get great photos of our family of 15. Professional, great communication, very affordable, and excellent quality. Highly recommended!
Dean is a class act who wears a smile. There was never any pressure when discussing our wants and needs, just an open ear. He was always professional, assertive, and friendly. He demonstrated great communication and delivered what we asked for. Thanks Dean!
I didn't want to spend half my budget on a photographer so I was very close to hiring a company. Don't do it! You can still have an affordable photographer who cares about you. Dean was that. Trust me, it's worth it to have someone who you can actually talk to 1 on 1 and is concerned only with your wedding.
You were amazing from beginning to end. You also showed gentle guidance with so much positivity throughout our whole planning process, especially day of the Wedding. Thank you for capturing our incredible day that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Your work really shows with each photo, I can't wait to share them with my family and friends!
Dean is such a great photographer. He takes pride in his work and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. I wouldn't hire any other photographer after working with Dean!
Dean was great and worked very well with our other photographer. His candid shots were the highlight of the photos we had taken that day.
Dean is a wonderful photographer! My husband and I had a bit of a chaotic wedding day, but Dean had a great sense of humor throughout it and was a pleasure to work with!
Dean is a true professional and captured our special day more beautifully than I could have hoped. He was caring and made us feel assured that were in the best hands. On a day when there is so much to think about, Dean was a life saver and the end result was absolute perfection!
Dean MacKay was wonderful! We didn't give him much time to prepare but it didn't affect his ability to create a wonderful album for us. He reached out to the property manager of the wedding site and he also reached out to the officiant and with their help Dean was able to come up with ideas before the wedding. On the day of our wedding, Dean worked with us to get some really cool shots and made us feel at ease. That's not easy for us because neither of us are very comfortable having our pictures taken.
I would absolutely recommend Dean to anyone needing photos made.
Dean really contributed to our special day. He was punctual, friendly and warm with the wedding party and guests and most importantly, took great pictures. Both the posed portraits and the candid shots looked gorgeous and captured the spirit of the day perfectly. Highly recommended!
Fantastic wedding Photographer. Very personal kind and in tune with the event. Loved Dean!
Great photography, great price.
