After meeting Michael and seeing some of his work, my husband and I were definitely interested in booking him for our wedding. He is so kind and shows a true passion for photography. As a trial, we hired him to take our engagement photos. My... husband and I are not exactly comfortable in front of a camera, but Michael made us feel entirely at ease and was very good at directing us. Once we saw how beautifully the pictures turned out, we knew we wanted him to photograph our wedding. Throughout the entire planning process, Michael was always responsive and very flexible.
On our wedding day, Michael and Emma (another photographer Michael brought with him) were so unobtrusive that we didn't even realize they were there. Our guests were very impressed with how well they managed to stay out of sight and were not at all distracting. Both Michael and Emma were so accommodating that they didn't even flinch when the bridal party sort of took over and posed a few of their own photos. During our reception, Michael surprised us and set up a screen, displaying a slideshow of photos that had been taken earlier in the day. Our guests loved it! Then, before he left, Michael surprised us again and presented us with a little photo book that held some pictures from throughout the day.
After seeing our proofs, my husband and I could not be happier with the pictures. Michael and Emma took so many creative shots (that we didn't even realize they were taking) and truly captured every special moment of our beautiful day. We are ecstatic with our wedding photos and highly recommend Michael Dempsey Photography!
