February 16, 2024 Wedding
Crissy and her team were absolutely amazing! Her communication and dedication certainly did not go unnoticed!!! Crissy, thank you for all that you did for us - we are excited to see our photos from the wedding! We absolutely loved our engagement photos and had a blast with the video fusion for them - that was a hit with our families!!! We wish you the best with your upcoming wedding as well! Thank you again for your amazing service!!
Christina and Deloris did a great job capturing our wedding moments. My wife and I would recommend their services. Thank you both for being a part of our special day!
Christina and Deloris were both professional and timely. I truly enjoyed the experience we had with them during our engagement shoot and wedding day. I would absolutely recommend Depoy Studios.
We booked 2 photographers and a videographer through DePoy for our December 17th 2022 wedding and I honestly could not have asked for a worse experience. Cristina, the owner, was incredibly unprofessional and terrible at communicating. The day of our wedding she told us Deloris (who is normally the other photographer) was sick and she had someone else filling in. Other lady was with the groom and groomsparty and they were asking for guidance and she told them, “oh I am not a photographer, I am just helping Cristina out today.” We paid for 2 photographers in our contract, so that is incredibly disappointing and unprofessional. The timeline to receive our photos back was 1 week for sneak peek photos, 4-6 weeks for wedding photos. After the 1 week mark, I texted Cristina and asked for a timeline on the sneak peek photos, she said it would be a few more days. A week later I looked at her Instagram and saw she had posted our sneak peek photos 1 day prior to me seeing the photos, didn’t say anything to us and did not email/send us the photos. I had to text her and ask her to email me our photos. We continued to receive auto emails from her asking for referrals and positive reviews, yet had not received our photos. On February 11, I texted and asked her where our wedding photos and video were. No reply. I texted again the next day and she said she thought she uploaded them, there must have been an error and she was out of town until Feb 16th. It took us 8.5 weeks to receive our photos. When looking through our photos, the quality was not great and there was not a photo of our first kiss. After I asked her for our wedding video, she sent it pretty quickly which makes me think she was sitting on our wedding video and did not send it over once it was ready. Before we booked her for our wedding, I had asked her to include vows, speeches and customized audio in our video and she said yes, no problem. We were less than thrilled with the audio as she didn’t listen to any of our requests and the entire video was stock audio and did not include my cousin performing our song from our first dance. After all of this, I texted Cristina and told her I was upset and frustrated with this process and wanted to hop on a call with her, my husband, my maid of honor and me to provide feedback. She replied and said in 10 years she has never received any complaints, my negative feedback was going to hurt her feelings and said they might need to have their lawyer on the call. I was instantly alarmed why she was bringing up a lawyer when all I asked was a phone call. She was incredibly defensive and guilt tripped us via text and phone call. She agreed to hop on a phone call with my husband, her and me and we provided all of this feedback to her in which she remained very defensive and borderline rude. We have little to no photos of us with our guests at our wedding and I told her I didn’t realize I needed to communicate to her that we wanted photos with our guests and her response was “you two weren’t very present during your wedding.” She claimed that the woman she brought with her was a photographer, just not full time and she must have said she was not a photographer “because she was nervous.” I asked for a 50% refund due to the absolutely awful experience we had and she gave us $450 for “the cost of a second photographer.” Long story short, do not book DePoy Studios for your special day unless you want an incredibly disappointing and frustrating experience.
Cristina and Delores are the best!! They kept us laughing the whole time during our engagement session & It felt like we were the best of friends at our Wedding. It’s very comforting to have a good relationship with your photographer at your Wedding when you’re so nervous as it is!!
Love Cristina and Depoy Studios. She did our engagement and wedding photos. Cristina has great energy and captures great photos. She is a perfectionist and I loved it!! She told how to stand fixed our hair….. everything. She kept us on time and on track!! I had a list of poses that I wanted to and she got all of the and more! She was vey calming and so much fun to have around!! She is truly amazing and professional.
I felt so fortunate to have worked with such great photographers for our engagement photos and wedding day. Cristina and Delores are passionate ladies who were able to capture the greatest moments of one of the most memorable days of our lives. I hope to work with them again on future memorable events. If you are looking for sincere, honest photographers who will exceed your expectations work with Depoy Studios.
These two ladies are so perfect for any couple!! They truly make you feel comfortable and take the anxiety off your day (at least as far as photography goes.) I usually feel very awkward when posing for pictures but the two of them made me and my husband smile and feel so natural the entire time. Something I am so thankful for is they worked with us to change the timeline around last minute without hesitation so that we could have everything exactly how we wanted it. We will 100% be recommending them to anyone we know and will be using them for future shoots as well!!
I’m so happy with our photos. My wife and I will definitely look into using DePoy when we need photos again!
I searched long and hard for a good photographer to use for my wedding and I couldn’t be more happy with DePoy! They were on time, relaxed, and made my wedding that much better. I can’t wait to use them again in the future!
Hands down the most amazing photographers. We had our wedding at the Phoenix Zoo and they were able to capture the rhino in our pictures!!! A FREAKIN RHINO! When they say they will do ANYTHING to get the shot, they are not playing. LGBTQ friendly, fun, and professional. We will be using them again when we go on our honeymoon (When the world opens back up).
You really won't find any better photographers. Their communication is great and timely. The pictures are amazing and they will put in the extra work to get that awesome shot. We got married at the zoo and they literally tried to herd a rhino and got us some perfect once in a lifetime pictures. We're so glad we picked Depoy Studios to turn our blissful day into pictures that will last a lifetime.
Christina and Deloris are not only wonderful people, but they do exceptional work! They are always on time, ready to go, and excited to be there. They take the time to get to know their clients first, and are VERY flexible (I should know, I had a wedding during COVID that got completely rained out AND the schedule was delayed due to my videographer being in a car accident!). Depoy Studios keeps calm under pressure and they truly captured the magic of our wedding day. We are so thankful we chose them!
DePoy studious was amazing! Even in the midst of Covid-19 they met all of our expectations! They were efficient, professional and every thing we needed to help capture our special day! Definitely recommend!
I will never not recommend DePoy Studios for wedding photographers! My husband and I got married during the COVID-19 pandemic and had to postpone our big day, but decided that we still wanted to get married on the original date. Cristina right away told me not to worry, and she came to our tiny backyard ceremony to make sure that we had pictures for that day. And then 2 months later, she came to the postponed wedding as well! She and Steve were so fun, professional, and very responsive to our suggestions. We could not have asked for better photographers, and I can't wait to see all the pictures from our (2nd) wedding day!
Cristina did everything in her power to accommodate our wedding during the COVID crisis. Changes in the date, location, and wedding party were stressful, but DePoy made it as easy as possible to get great photos of our special day. They took the time to scout out our venue to find perfect photo spots, which was appreciated because the bride and I don’t know much about photography.
We’re excited to get our “Badass Wedding Shoot”, where we get to dress up again and take more photos, sometime soon. This service and these people are really special. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer.
We were really happy with our experience with DePoy Studios. They listened to our requests, expectations, and really provided us with a positive experience. It was an amazing experience, and felt like it added to the event, rather than being another thing to manage during the event.
Cristina and Delores are the best! They do whatever it takes to get the most perfect shots. They also took the time to get to know my wife and I and used our personalities in the poses. I love that they don't just have a wedding photo checklist. After everything they are a part of our family and we will only use Depoy Photography in the future. Love them!
Christina and Deloris did an amazing job putting both myself and my husband at ease. They were very knowledgeable and had great ideas for capturing special moments throughout the day. They had a gameplan for getting some fun photos outside of my venue, but with the weather turning wet, they had to be quick on their feet to get some creative photos while being confined to the venue. I highly recommend them for anyone who wants the personal touch with their photographers. Photos are spectacularly beautiful and I cannot thank them enough!
Cristina and Delores were SO AMAZING! They are both super nice and made the whole family photo session (which I've experienced as a disaster at other weddings) go super smooth.
All of my wedding party commented on how great they were. They also went out of their way at the last minute to capture photos form our day of "boys outing". I'm so grateful we'll have every moment of the most perfect day captured.
I cannot wait to do our Bridal Fashion shoot!! I'm sure we'll use them in the future for family photos.
Love you, Ladies!
LOVE LOVE LOVE Cristina and Deloris!! If you want professionals with awesome picture quality you need to go with DePoy Studios!! They will help guide you through the process if needed. They have great personalities which made my special day amazing! Your pictures you will have forever so you want them to have great quality!
My wife and I have been working with Cristina and Deloris of DePoy Studios for almost a year now. We got engaged in March of last year (2014) and I immediately starting planning. One of the most important decisions you will make for your wedding is photography. Cristina, Deloris, and DePoy Studios was and still is, bar far, the BEST decision my wife and I made for our wedding.
The story: I began looking for a photographer with a quick Google search: Phoenix Wedding Photography, I believe is what I searched. Needless to say, I clicked on DePoy Studios. If you know me, you know I dig around a little, I looked on their website, checked reviews, Wedding Wire and of course Facebook. They were the first and ONLY photographer I looked into. I was drawn to them for some strange reason and after a little research LOVED that they were LGBT friendly (what were the changes right?!). Well after visiting their Facebook page, I came across a promotion she was running to help her second shooter. She needed couples and I wanted to be one of them! I quickly contacted them about the promotion! I was so excited to meet with them and after our initial meeting, we booked DePoy for a full package for our wedding! We loved their upfront and honest approach to their business. We instantly clicked. After a few months, we headed to Sedona and took the most beautiful engagement photos I’ve ever seen. We were very pleased with the outcome. Throughout this past year, Cristina has made our wedding planning process seamless. She was kind of like a wedding planner! She lined us up with some amazing opportunities and vendors!
Our wedding was this past weekend, Saturday, March 28, 2015. It was hot, but it was perfect. We gained an amazing friendship with Cristina, a life-long photographer and some amazing images. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, regardless of your sexual orientation, CHOOSE DEPOY STUDIOS. I will forever stand by my statement: DePoy Studios is the BEST decision my wife and I made for our wedding. You know you have amazing people working with (not for) you when they are in TEARS shooting your wedding. Thank you Cristina and Deloris for making our big day last forever in our hearts through your amazing photography! We love you both!
Before finding Depoy Studios I had looked at least 100 photographers in the valley. I then stumbled upon Depoy Studios. I looked at all the images on the website and was taken aback by how amazing their work was. I told my fiancée the most important thing at our wedding to me is our photographer. As I am sure most girls dream about their wedding day and when it finally happens they want to cherish that moment for a life time and pass that down to their children. I talk back and forth with them for a while via email. They answered all our questions and in fact in a timely manner. My sister had passed away so I had stopped wedding planning for a while. After some time I pick it back up again and then attend the gay and lesbian bridal expo, where I then saw Depoy Studios and entered their drawling for 1600 in credit towards a package. Later on that evening I get curious and search them on Facebook to only see that I have won the grand prize. After everything I had been through I felt so blessed. We went down and met with Cristina and she was nothing but amazing. She made us laugh and bonded with us and got our humor. We knew where we belonged and that was with Depoy Studios. Our engagement photos turned out amazing and can’t wait to see our wedding photos. I love Depoy Studios so much that I talk about them to everyone I know, which I never really do about anyone. If you’re looking for someone who’s works hard and is willing to do whatever it takes to get the perfect shot then they are for you!
What can I say about the girls, Cristina and Deloris, and photography of DePoy Studios....RAW, stunning, emotional, awesome, epic, breathtaking, and totally kick ass!!!
I could not have asked for more beautiful artwork. My husband and I are photography freaks!!! We have images of us and our loved ones all around our home; they are our artwork. These moments that were captured are displayed in our home and mean more to us than a Picasso, Van Gogh, or Leonardo da Vinci. These are our moments, our smiles, our tiers, our joy, and we could have not hired a better wedding photographer to capture these moments.
Saying we have NO regrets on our photography choice was our number one goal for our wedding day, and we have not a one. The rest was just for show, we knew the ONLY thing that would matter once the day is over was that we had those moments to share forever!!!
DePoy Studios is not the cheapest nor are they the highest, by any means, but the artwork you will receive is worth every penny and then some. I would of paid 3x as much. I cried when I saw the images and got to relive our wedding day.
If photography means as much as it does to you as it does to us.....call them now!!!
We highly recommenced DePoy Studios to EVERYONE.
THEY ARE OUR PHOTOGRAPHERS FOR LIFE.
Kim and Chris
When we started planning our April wedding we knew one thing that was very important to us in our planning and that was a finding a fantastic wedding photographer, we absolutely found that in DePoy Studios! Cristina and Deloris were such a pleasure to work with and they made everything so easy! Our images turned out stunning and we could not be happier with how everything went! It is amazing some of the moments that were captured and how perfect the timing was so that any one who looks at the photos can experience the joy and happiness as if they were there with us.
Not only did we find the best wedding photographer out there but we also found our photographer for life. Any life event in the future we know exactly who we will have on speed dial. Thank you so very much Cristina and Deloris for capturing how special this day was for us on film, it means so much to us having these moments captured in time forever!
I met these ladies at the bridal show last year. Let me just say this, I was a very demanding bride. If I did not get what I wanted I was not happy. :) C'mon it's my wedding day!!!!
These ladies made me feel very comfortable, and I felt like they cared abut my personal style, and let me have a voice in the whole process of my engagement shoot. i was very happy with my photos, and did end up booking these ladies for my wedding day. If your a bride looking for a photographer that respects you, and your style, and values your opinion, then book with Depoy. I always found out they do the bump photos. So when its time for baby i will be working with Depoy again!
