They edit in a clean, timeless style using real color, staying away from filters that may be the "fad" right now but look outdated in years to come. Having shot in almost every venue in Utah, they are experienced and prepared to capture beautiful shots in any lighting situation. As an added bonus they are proud to take on the roles of onsite wedding coordinator, location scouter, experienced boutonniere pinner-on-er, wedding dress bustle-er, occasional therapist, and even on-the-fly DJ when needed!

Randy was absolutely wonderful. He did our engagement and wedding photos and made it a smooth and easy process. He made sure my now husband wasn't giving us fake smiles and during ...

the wedding the guest couldn't stop raving about him. He was kind, efficient and he's someone you just feel comfortable being around and working with. He asked us preferences and family dynamics, etc and it made things way less stressful for us. I can't recommend Dezember Photography & Randy enough.

w-pressure, and he truly listened to our concerns and what we wanted. For our engagement photos, we were only expecting one location, but Randy went above and beyond and drove us up Little Cottonwood Canyon, where he captured some absolutely amazing shots. His eye for location and lighting really shows in the final photos. Randy is down to earth, easy to talk to, and clearly knows what he’s doing. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and confident that we were in great hands. We’re so grateful we chose him and would highly recommend Randy and Dezember Photography to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely great photographer.

tail. My wife and I were able to just enjoy the wedding and the reception, we weren’t worried about taking our own photos because we knew Randy was capturing everything. He was also very accommodating of requests for groupings. My dad asked if we could do a 3 generation shot and Randy even snapped one with my dad’s phone for him so he’s have it before the flight home. We never felt like we needed to do our own picture taking as well.Randy did a lot of group photos and a lot of photos of just the guests interacting with each other and having a great time. I highly recommend Randy He was very good to work with, he was polite, knowledgeable, efficient, and professional .

Randy was the photographer for my son’s wedding at the Cathedral of the Madeleine in Salt Lake City, then their reception later that evening. The first thing I noticed about Randy...

was his attention to detail. He quietly moved in and helped get the groom’s line boutonnières pinned and my husband’s errant tie straightened. He moved discreetly and unobtrusively throughout the Cathedral to take pictures throughout the ceremony. The church allots 20 minutes after the ceremony to get pictures inside, Randy moved quickly and efficiently to get the maximum number of photos in the time we had. He was so good that he asked if there were any other groupings we needed. He was everywhere at the reception, taking pictures throughout. He moved quickly and discreetly to position himself for the best shots. He had talked with the bride and groom ahead of time to go over details about things like where they would end their dance so he could be positioned for the dip. I would easily recommend him as a photographer.

As a Texas girl planning an out-of-state wedding in Utah, I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Randy. From the very beginning, he went above and beyond—taking the t...

ime to brainstorm with me about timing, including how long winter receptions in Utah should last, and more. He also captured our engagement photos before we even headed to Idaho this summer and made the entire experience so much fun. He was open, excited, and totally willing to be silly with us, which made the photos feel so genuine and us. On the wedding day, Randy was incredibly adaptable when plans shifted, and I appreciated how he always touched base with me before directing photos. He made sure no one was missed and that everything felt smooth and stress-free. Beyond his talent, his personality truly stood out—he made everyone feel comfortable and included. My brother couldn’t stop talking about how fun Randy was and even said he wants him to photograph his wedding someday. That alone says so much. I’m beyond grateful for Randy and would recommend him a thousand times over to anyone looking for an amazing photographer and an even better experience.

all aesthetic. Randy was incredibly easy to work with-responsive, professional, and efficient. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and didn't waste any time. He even suggested a beautiful location for our engagement shoot and was already familiar with our wedding venue, which made everything go smoothly. While I'm not a huge fan of their website for ordering prints, the team was very helpful and quickly resolved any issues we had. Overall, it was definitely worth the investment, and I would highly recommend Dezember Photography for any photography needs!

Dezember photography was recommended to us by a friend who had used them for their wedding. Randy was incredibly personable and easy to work with. He was prompt with his communicat...

ion, clear, and always professional. He always knew what he wanted from locations and photos while still being willing to take suggestions or extra pictures that we wanted. He knew all of the places to go both around town and at the venue to get amazing pictures. He was fantastic during the event, getting pictures of the action without getting in the way. He also took some pictures with my grandmother's camera during family photos without being asked, which he absolutely did not need to do. Going through our photos after the wedding was so fun. He did an amazing job of getting posed pictures, pictures of big moments, and fun pictures from the reception. The pictures were wonderful, all of the interactions were great, and Randy was super personable. It is clear every couple and every event are equally important. Even months after our wedding we ran in to Randy around town and he made sure to talk to us and ask us how the honeymoon went and how everything was. Dezember photography was definitely the best vendor we hired and we would book them again in a heart beat.

good, we had a really hard time choosing which ones to print. Randy's got a great eye to get the best pictures for every picture. The turnaround time to get our pictures back was super fast too. We've heard of it taking months to get pictures back from some photographers, but not Randy. No more than a couple weeks to view the online gallery. We enjoyed working with him so much for our wedding that now we see him every year for our family photos!

is expertise and advice for our engagement and wedding photos was greatly appreciated, and the photos exceeded my expectations. Many friends who have seen all the wedding photos have asked for prints of themselves during the reception/party. Not only did he take fantastic bridal party photos; but the photos during the reception were really excellent. He captured the whole day just beautifully. He thought of everything I didn't think of. I cannot say enough great things about Dezember photography and we've already talked about using them again for family photos. You will NOT be disappointed if you choose Dezember as your phtography vendor.
