Dean Michaels Studio

Photography is so hard to find with the current market and Dean Michaels Studio hit the nail on the head. The family-owned business has been in the industry for over 35 years and offers so much variety. We had two photographers (Laura and Maggie) and two videographers (Oleks and AJ) and they all worked seamlessly to ensure that my husband and I were comfortable and looking our best. I’m extremely picky about photos of myself and my husband is extremely reserved and they truly have the magic touch in capturing our true selves. Now the difficult part is which ones to hang up in my house, since I feel 2000 is too many to print!!! I will never use another photography studio again, Dean Michaels sealed the deal for us for life!

We booked Dean Michaels Studio for our Photo and Video packing for our wedding about a year prior to our wedding. They were recommended to us by our friends and we knew they were experts at our venue which was a goal of ours! We had Kartheek as our lead photographer. Him, as well as the other photographer and both videographers were awesome! Everyone was prompt, friendly and made us, as well as our friends and families, extremely comfortable throughout the whole day. We received our sneak peaks and our photos with no delays! We have already received our videos, earlier than expected, which we loved! Our trailer and highlight videos are truly amazing and our families are in awe of them. We asked the studio to make a few adjustments to our longer video and we cannot wait to see the final product. Our families haven’t stopped gushing about how clear and precise all of the photos and videos have turned out! The studio has been so seamless to communicate with from beginning to end! Overall, we would highly recommend Dean Michaels Studio for any event!

Chrissy was our first point of contact, Laura was our photographer, and we had a great videographer. Everyone was so amazing! Chrissy was so helpful, quick to respond and had great communication. At our wedding, they captured the typical posed and beautiful staged shots as well as awesome candid shots! Laura has such a creative eye and got some neat shots I never even considered. I was really happy that they directed me often as well. I kept holding my bouquet very high and she’d tell me to bring it down, she had people throw leaves, found beautiful backgrounds, and would let me know if I was looking down or needed to hold my chin or chest out more. I’d rather have direction than get back photos that aren’t that flattering. The videographer was the same, making sure we hit certain cues, moved around or looked certain ways to get the best shots. We received our sneak peek very fast and it just got me even more excited for the rest of the photos! They were also very affordable, offered discounts, didn’t charge a credit card surcharge and ensured that no matter what happens, someone would be able to come to the wedding. I was nervous hiring a freelance or smaller photographer after hearing some stories about last minute issues and no photographer showing up. Since this is a studio, there are many photographers and videographers so they guarantee someone will be available at contract signing. So very pleased all around! Update: I wrote that from the sneak peek I received and I just got the final pictures.. they far exceeded expectations! They are breathtaking and so freaking amazing! The photographer captured ALL the moments – the staged shots, the laughing, the crying, the dancing, the singing, the AIR GUITAR (Yeah, drunk bride hit that air guitar at the end of the night). I am so beyond happy with Dean Michaels Studio & Laura! LOVE!
