We had such an incredible experience working with Dean’s Photography! From the moment we booked Dean, he was supportive, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our day go smo...
othly. He clearly communicates every step of the process, which made us feel completely at ease long before the wedding even arrived.
During our photo sessions, he was so easy to work with—fun, upbeat, and full of helpful advice. He knows how to pose you naturally, makes the experience enjoyable, and keeps everything running smoothly without ever feeling rushed or awkward. His energy and professionalism made a huge difference, and we truly felt like we were in great hands the entire time.
I absolutely recommend hiring him for your wedding day. If you want someone who brings both talent and an amazing experience, he’s the one!
Dean and Zo are amazing guys and were truly incredible to us!
When we started looking for photographers for our wedding, we had no idea what to look for, what questions to ask or ...
expect. Dean was so easy to talk to and met with us virtually, to get to know is as individuals and as a couple. Our wedding was a bit unique with an early ceremony, a short lunch reception and a mobile pub crawl reception, and by the end of our consult we truly felt Dean was as excited for our wedding as we were. Dean cleared their schedule for us with 2 months notice, and built a package to our needs! They were super responsive and helpful with questions and when I failed as a Bride to get them our list of family pics, they knew exactly what pictures to get and guided us the whole way.
They exceeded their role as photographers, keeping us sane, fed (I will forever think of them whenever I eat MC’D french fries🤣) and having fun, while ensuring we remained calm and composed before the ceremony. They even joined us with all of their gear for the pub crawl, in the rain!!! This duo is the real deal, if I have one piece of advice as a bride, don’t skimp on your photography budget and make sure they vibe with your vibe, they are going to be by your side all day! Dean was so much more than our wedding photographer, he is forever our friend for life and a true blessing to us- direct words from my husband who would really prefer not being photographed lol!
Dean and Zo for the win🤩

Dean did our engagement and wedding photos back in 2022 and did a fantastic job! He was easy to work with and also very personable. He's quick and efficient which my husband and I ...
really appreciated and we got our pictures back in a timely manner. We loved his photo booth and the late night shots he took of us are our favorites! He did my friend's wedding first and as a bridesmaid I loved working with him so much we had him do ours. He also photographed my brother's wedding this past Summer and it was awesome getting to see him and Zozo again. We always have fun taking pictures with them, they make taking pictures fun and quick!
Dean and Zozo are the best to work with! So much fun and super responsive through the whole process of planning through and beyond the big day! Couldn't have asked for anything bet...
ter! Love all of our photos and cannot wait to book our next session! I am so happy we were able to capture our days with Dean's Photography! Thank you!!
We are incredibly grateful for Dean and his second shooter, Zo. If I could give Dean's Photography 10 stars I would! They photographed our Wedding and received compliments all arou...
nd! (Our wedding was June 18th, and to this day we are still hearing how awesome our photographers were!) They were with us from 8:30am on Saturday morning until almost midnight! Dean is a 'go-getter' and will do ANYTHING it takes to get the best photos! He was so helpful throughout the whole day, asking if we needed anything and what else he could do to help. If you haven't contacted him yet to do your photos, I am not sure what you are waiting for!
I don’t even know where to start… Dean and his team were everything we could have hoped for. Not only did they capture our special day perfectly, but they also were our saviors in ...
so many ways! They helped with unexpected problems that can up (unrelated to photography), made sure that not only myself and my husband had what we needed but also our wedding party, and even came to the rescue when my bustle broke on my dress (shout out to Zozo!). Not only do we recommend Dean and his team, but so would our guests. We were blown away, but also not surprised, by the number of compliments we received about Dean and his team and their work. We are truly blessed to have had them capture our day! Do not pass them up!
Worth every penny. One of our guests cancelled her own wedding photographer to book Dean and his associate Zozo after seeing them in action. We couldn't agree more that it was the ...
right choice.
We chose the medium package (collection 2) and received plenty more than advertised. We won't go into detail about each service only because we think certain anecdotes are more revealing:
- We had total peace of mind starting from our first impression of Dean. He was clearly a hyper-organized tech geek, with a sophisticated strategy for capturing every moment and keeping photos high-quality and safe. Yet he was very personable and responsive, and made us feel comfortable. Both held true throughout the wedding and yielded fantastic, authentic pictures.
- We invited Dean to the rehearsal. He didn't even take us up on dinner, but came anyway to scope out the venue and meet the officiant. Our setup the next day was optimized for photos, without any rushed adjustments.
- Our wedding was on the later end of a Friday. Dean and Zozo arrived super early to get shots of the prep, and were still shooting on the dance floor during our last song even though they had a wedding the next day. They were both working hard every moment in between.
- Perhaps most importantly... with minutes to go, as my wife is moving to the ceremony area, her toe collides with a groomsman's shoe and begins bleeding HEAVILY. You have to understand, my wife would smile all the way down the aisle with a broken leg, but nothing stresses her out more than being late. Dean and Zozo had brought a preparedness kit and promptly provided superglue to close her wound. This kept the delay minimal, which calmed her down a lot. Dean even thought to come check on my nerves too since I had no idea any of this had happened.
Dean's Photography exceeded our expectations. Even if you were planning on spending less like we were, if you can afford his prices we recommend reaching out to Dean. You will see the extra value that you did not know you would be missing, and it may change your perspective like it did ours.
We hired Dean for our August 2021 wedding and he was amazing to work with. Not only did he beautifully capture our big day, but he truly went above and beyond to make our day as s...
tress free as possible. Dean and his team helped to make sure we stayed on schedule and did an outstanding job coordinating every special moment of our day. They even filled drink glasses for our wedding party so that we could relax and enjoy the celebration! Family and friends made sure to let us know how impressed they were with how friendly and fun Dean was. My mother made the comment that Dean fit in so naturally on our day that he "felt like family". We had so much fun looking through all the photos Dean captured of our wedding day and reliving some of the most precious moments. If you are looking for a fun and adventurous photographer who has a keen eye for unique shots and great organizational skills, Dean is your guy! We cannot recommend him enough as we feel so blessed that he was able to capture our wedding day so beautifully!
If I could give Dean 10 stars, I would. He and his second/third shooters were everything we could have dreamed of in our wedding photographer and more. After having conversations...
with 30+ photographers, I spoke with Dean, and I knew that he was the perfect photographer for us. There are two very important things when considering a photographer - the quality and beauty of the photos themselves AND the personality of the photographer(s). Dean was absolutely incredible to work with and his photos are stunning. My husband and his groomsmen all loved working with Dean, and me and my bridal party adored him. He is easy-going, professional, entertaining, and he really puts his heart and soul into his work. He exceeded our expectations and contractual agreement by staying at our wedding ALL NIGHT :) Not to mention that we got our engagement photos back within just a couple of days! We have been raving about him since our wedding, and we look forward to hopefully having an opportunity to work with him again in the future.
Dean and his team were fantastic! Given the pandemic, our plans had to change many times and he was always understanding and flexible. The pictures were spectacular- we have them ...
all over our house. On top of all of this, Dean and his team were extremely intuitive throughout the wedding. Dean is extremely sociable and his sense of humor made the day a bit more special. I would recommend Dean with my highest regards.
Dean is such an awesome photographer! He is so personable and from our first meeting to discuss our connection session (engagement photos) we knew we wanted him to take our wedding...
photos. He managed to take beautiful pictures during our connection session, even was able to get amazing photos with two hyper huskies who rarely sit still. We had to change our entire wedding plans within a few weeks of our scheduled wedding due to COVID and even switched our date, but Dean was so accommodating and flexible and was able to take photos on our new date. He was even more than willing to go to a local park to capture our first look. He is honestly so down to earth and truly cares if the bride and groom are happy! His attention to detail is amazing as he will help everyone look their best in photos. Dean even used his drone to capture a video of my husband and I going for a walk and enjoying the fact that we were married. My family and friends were just as amazed at how professional and yet fun Dean is. I can’t thank him and Zozo enough for being so flexible, caring, and fun to work with! Highly recommend hiring him and Zozo to capture your special day!
Dean's Photography has done numerous friends weddings with astounding results! So of course we hired him as soon as we got engaged! Both him and his assistant are great to work wit...
h easy to be around, and know all the great shots before you even ask. They blend in the mix and get the most amazing candid shots, which I think are some of the best memories to have! Plus the photo booth is always a hoot to see your friends and family throughout the night progress to pure silliness. We cannot wait for our own engagement connection session and of course our wedding day!
We first heard of Dean when a friend got married and he was their photographer. I remembered his positive attitude and the amount of time he was at the wedding. When we got married...
, I asked my friend her opinion and she couldn't have recommended him more!
When we met with Dean, he was very accommodating and understanding to our budget, goals and feel for our wedding. He was flexible for our unique location for our engagement photos and those turned out phenomenal!
And day of our wedding - amazing! I felt this way day of our wedding and still now almost 3 years later. He was there for the rehersal so he knew how best to set-up for each portion of the ceremony and wedding day from 1st hair appointment til after we left our reception - no time restraint which is SO rare! He captured all the moments plus did great on the posed portraits. But all my favorites are the moments he captured that you can't plan to pose for on your wedding day. Thanks again Dean!
We hired Dean for our wedding in September 2019 and we truly cannot say enough great things about him!
We first worked with him during the engagement photos, which he calls the co...
nnection session. It is a great way for you to get to know him and vice versa. The pictures turned out phenomenal, so we knew we were in for a treat when the wedding day finally came!
In the months, weeks, and days leading up to the wedding, Dean was always super quick to respond to my e-mails and questions, even at odd hours of the morning. I don't think this man ever sleeps. He was always open-minded to the ideas I had about photos and he was loaded with great ideas that we hadn't even thought of.
Dean came along to our rehearsal the night before the wedding, which was great. He was so helpful when we were talking through the ceremony, offering ideas to make sure the event was as photogenic as possible!
The wedding day was an absolute dream. Dean was with us for the entire day, right up until we left the venue to go to the hotel. He obviously takes great photos, but what was even better was that he and his assistant were just genuinely great people to have around us for the day. He fit in so perfectly with all of our friends and family. We got so many compliments from our guests about what a great guy Dean was.
Then the pictures arrived several weeks later. Wow! Just wow! We knew they would be great, but he still blew our expectations out of the water. He edits every single one of the photos, and there are a lot of them.
We are so thankful we chose Dean to capture our day. He was spectacular. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to any of our friends and family who need a photographer!
I love Dean's Photography! Dean and his partner were my photographers for my wedding this past weekend. Dean is such a sweet, caring, loving, family-oriented, a little OCD (but onl...
y because he is trying to be thorough), ingelligent, and artistic guy. He really puts his all into his work. He was with us Friday for the rehearsal for a few hours, and Saturday for my wedding from 10am- Midnight. He provided a photobooth that was a huge hit with our guests! He helped us out with the garter toss/and the bouqet toss when our DJ was supposed to. He helped all the guys get ready for our wedding, he kept an eye out for any potential danger (ex-being too close to the railing), he captured a video of us on the party bus, and just really put his heart into it. The only thing I would say that was a little disappointing was that he was a little slow at doing pictures and it took us away from our guests a good portion of the night for our wedding. But we understand why, and I'm sure our photos will be amazing!
Dean and Zozo were awesome!!! They made things easy and fun!!! I loved all the photos and they guys were a please to have!!!
I don't know if I can put into words how amazing Dean Photography is. He was the first and only photographer we needed to meet with and we could not be happier with the work he did...
for us. From the moment we met he went above and beyond and made us feel like we were his only couple. He responds within minutes to majority of emails/text and is so helpful and willing to answer any questions we had along the way. Our guest absolutely loved the photo booth too!! What great memories we will have for the rest of our life thanks to Dean and Zozo!
I had an amazing experience with Dean! First I want to start off by saying I love that he is a family centered guy and you can tell! He has such a good heart. I loved all of the se...
rvices he offered, the engagement pictures were great, but I wish we had more of a variety. I continue to get a kick out of the 'booth photos, so many of us were able to cram in there! I dont know how to put into words how much I loved the work he did with my family and myself. He worked seamlessly with all of the people wanting to be "in charge", never making anyone feel like their ideas were less, but always going with his lol. He had the photos from the 'booth up basically immediately and it was amazing to share those memories with my family who was still in town the next day! The other photos took a bit longer, but not absurdly longer. I felt I had them quickly. Certainly worth it, i would use him again, and highly recommend! p.s. My profile photo is a shot he took!
Dean and his crew shot our engagement pictures and our wedding. They did an amazing job from start to finish, including attending our rehearsal. I'd recommend them to anyone.
