Dean Michaels Studio

You guys are the best!! From my initial consultation at the studio to my wedding day my whole experience with you was absolutely wonderful. Rich and Maggie were at my house before I was the day of the wedding (I was running late due to hair and makeup) taking pictures of my dress they took their time and got all the right shots. They were professional and courteous- and were with me from before my wedding til the last song played at my reception. I used them for my engagement and wedding photos and I will surely use them again and will be recommending you guys to all my friends and family needing photographers!! Thank you Dean, Rich and Maggie for making our day so memorable!!! I could never thank you enough for my stunning wedding pictures!!!

Dean is the MAN! Our pictures are amazing! Talk about a guy who loves what he does and exceeds everyones expectations. I cant even begin to describe how beautiful our pictures came out. He made me look and feel like a princess. He was EARLY the day of the wedding along with the second photographer and as soon as he came in he was all business but his fun and wonderful self. He makes you so at ease when he takes your picture and really makes sure he gets every single moment captured. Dean has put a couple of our pictures on his professional website and i have to tell you i am honored that i am able to be apart of that. we were also fortunate enough to have him do our engagement photoshoot also on his weeding wire portfolio and people are amazed at them. They swear they should be in a magazine by the detail and craftsmanship dean put into them. He stayed until the end of the wedding right until the very last person left. If you want a photorapher that is on time, fun, professional, blends in with the crowd, does amazing work, and have pictures that people will talk about for year apon years to come, dean is the guy you want!!!!!!!!!!! He will forever be taking my family pictures for years to come!
Also deans support staff is amazing as well. I am in the process of picking out proofs and thank you cards and my book and they have been nothing but nice and helping me along the way in the process. I couldnt have been happier with my decision on this company they truly are the best of the best in...

Dean Michaels Studio is absolutely phenomenal. No matter when I call or who I speak with, everyone is always great. Dean shot my wedding, along with another photographer, and videographer, who were both great as well! After being extremely late to my church, my only sanity was through Dean. He was absolutely fantastic, and I couldn't have imagined anyone else shooting my wedding. He is so passionate about his job, that it shows through his great work. I had numerous wedding guests not only come up to me at the end of my reception, but call me days after to comment as to how great our photographer was. Dean is genuine and true to what he says!

We used Dean for our wedding... AMAZING Photographer!!!! Loved our pictures!

Dean Michaels Studio makes beautiful designs for albums and DVDs! Their staff is so helpful and makes the process of choosing photos for albums very easy. The wedding pictures and the album design are amazing and creative. Our wedding DVD is a gorgeous, emotional portrayal of our wedding day. It helps us relive our special day and all the little moments we might have missed! I would definitely recommend this venue to any bride!

My husband and I used Dean Michaels for our wedding day and we could not be happier. We were very picky about finding the perfect photographer and I highly recommend them. Rich Penrose was our photographer. He was so nice, funny, flexible and he captured amazing engagement and wedding day shots. Our wedding pictures are so unique and beautiful (even for a rainy day!). Everyone comments how amazing everything came out. Trust me and book them for your wedding because you will not be dissapointed!!!

As soon as we met our photographer, I knew we had made a good choice. They were very easy to work with and answered all of the questions that we had. Our photographer Rich was great to work with. He was very friendly and took a lot of really great pictures. After all of our posed pictures were done we didn't even realize he was there. We received our proofs and thank you cards very soon after the wedding as well, which was great.

Our online picutures turned out amazing. We are so happy with the way the photographer and videographer worked out! Laura, Photographer, was awesome! She was everywhere, getting every shot. Everyone at the studio has been very attentive and easy to work with. We would absolutely recommend Dean Michaels Studio!

We could not be happier with the way our pictures came out. Dean did such a beautiful job with both our wedding and engagement photos. We had a guest book made with our engagement photos and it was one our favorite things we did for wedding. We can't wait for our wedding album!

Dean Michael's Studio did a fantastic job for our wedding. Rich was our main photographer and he was personable and reliable. As soon as we set up our appointment for our engagement session he was available to answer any questions or texts. He was just as responsive leading up to our wedding. The day of the wedding he was professional and kind. Jay was our second photographer and he did a great job as well. Our pictures turned out great! We can't wait to set up our album. We also used Dean Michael's for our videography. Kurt was our videographer and he was just as cooperative and professional. Overall we are very pleased. - Danielle and Chuck

My husband and I used Dean Michaels Studio for both a "location" engagement photo session and wedding photography. Basically, I wanted a top quality studio that focused on capturing detail and beauty in a unique way. Rich and Dean were our main guys for the wedding day and both my family and I were truly impressed with their professionalism, creativity, and fabulous personalities! They were not intrusive, nor bossy. Rich and Dean "went with the flow" as much as possible, yet still had a "set plan" in mind for the wedding day. There were flurries, sleet, rain, and 35 degree temperatures on my wedding day. You would think this would hold them back? Not a chance!! Where I was leary and ready to cancel the outdoor pictures, Rich and Dean assured me that they would capture the beauty of the day in a clever way. Cold didn't stop them- handwarmers and all- they were prepared!!

When I viewed the proofs online only a WEEK after the wedding date, I was blown away! Dean and Rich got so many beautiful shots in my home and at the church and reception. There was such a variety of structured and unstructured photos. From the way they captured my gown or my husband and his groomsmen, to the marble church, or the snow covered roads-- everything looked stunning! After ordering a few photos to sample the different options such as color, black/white, and sepia, I was again so incredibly pleased with the quality of the portrait itself!! I should note that the engagement photos were transferred into a "guest signing book." These photos were really magnificent. Top quality all around! I look forward to receiving my wedding albums.

Please don't hesitate to use this wonderful business establishment for you photo and video services! All of the money you put forward is totally worth it! There are a few different package options for both photography and videography. All staff members were a pleasure to work with, were very accomodating, and worked to get orders processed in an efficient manner! I am truly so happy with Dean Michaels photography and videography!

What an amazing photographer and great man Dean Michaels is. From the first meeting my husband wanted to book him. He is so personable, friendly and flexible, and his work is beautiful! Our first experience was our engagement photos where he met us and spent almost three hours taking us to different locations, and capturing breathtaking photos. Once I saw these pictures I was convinced that I made a great decision. At the wedding he was so wonderful and patient, making sure he always got the perfect shot. Our wedding photos are amazing, the only problem is that there are just too many to choose from. Dean Michaels' experience, professionalism, and kindness makes him one of the best wedding photographers around. Thank you Dean Michaels Studios for going above and beyond our expectations and capturing our wedding day memories is such a magnificant way that we will have forever!

Yes, you get what you pay for. Dean Michaels is not cheap, is not flexible on price, but you get the BEST. Our two photographers, Kaysee and Dean, were wonderful. They were calm, friendly, and helpful the entire day. I never felt like they were intrusive, they got all the pictures we wanted without cutting into our party time. We had told Kaysee we wanted to split the formal pics so we didn't miss the whole cocktail hour, and she worked it out perfectly ---- we did half after the ceremony and half during the salad course. We didn't miss the cocktail hour! They stayed the whole night, snapping candid pics right up until the end. Kaysee even checked with me towards the end of the night, did a quick run-through of the "must have pics" list I had given her, and made sure she didn't leave anything out. Very highly recommended!!!

My husband and I used Dean for our wedding last year. Dean is amazing at what he does and he knows to have fun along the way-we laughed the entire time! We had such a great time working with Dean and his crew. They made us feel like we were superstars for the day! Our pictures came out so beautiful and our wedding video was amazing. I would absolutely recommend Dean to anyone and everyone. You will not be disappointed-PROMISE!! Dean Michaels Studio was able to capture the all of the best parts of our day so that we will remember them for years to come. Thanks Dean!!!

Dean Michael's studio did an amazing job with our wedding photos. They were so friendly, but professional. they really know what they are doing! Our photographer helped us pick a beautiful place for our engagement photos and get every shot possible on the wedding day. I cant wait for another event where i will need a photographer, because I know who i will be calling!!!

My husband and I used Dean Michael Studios for our wedding photography and they did an absolute wonderful job! I had changed the timeline of our wedding day a million times and they were so accomodating and Dean was able to give us advice on the best way to work our picture taking into the day. Dean and Jay Li were absolutely fabulous and really captured the essence of the day. The artistry and professionalism they put towards it was like no one else and I would recommend them any day!! All our friends and family can't stop talking about how beautiful our pictures came.

Thank you to Dean, Jay and the Dean Michael's team for a memorable experience!

Excellent! Dean Michaels Studio was the perfect photography/videography studio to capture our most special day. The staff was very helpful and made sure all our needs were met -- from developing the contract right through to helping me select images for my wedding album. The photographers and videographer worked incredibly hard to capture all the details of our wedding day -- all while being unobtrusive, fun and creative. I was thrilled with the photos, love our video and can't wait to see our wedding album! Top quality!

Dean Michaels Studio is a fantastic photographer and I would recommend them to anyone! The staff is friendly and helpful from the moment you walk in the door. They don’t pressure you at all, and make you feel important. Their packages are reasonable, and you get a lot for your money. I loved getting 4x6 photos as our proofs to have for choosing album photos and to put in albums & frames to show off. On my wedding day, both photographers were professional and made taking all the pictures fun. They captured all of the emotions of the day, and when I look at my pictures I can relive it whenever I want. They took both the traditional shots and artistic ones. The album creation process was easy & it is beautiful!
Thank you for everything!

I can't begin to say enough good things about Dean Michaels Studio! From start to finish, they were so helpful and professional. Our photographer (Rich) was the best! He was so much fun and put me, and everyone else he photographed, at ease. Our pictures were all so amazing that it was actually hard to narrow them down to which ones we wanted in our album (great problem to have). Dean Michaels was the perfect choice to capture one of the most special days of our lives...and thanks to them everytime we look at our pictures and album it brings back all the wonderful memories of our big day!

There's a reason Dean Michaels Studio has such a great reputation -- they were the perfect studio to capture my wedding day. The photographers were so friendly and unobtrusive -- I barely noticed they were there throughout the whole night -- but they still came back with stunning pictures. The online proofs were available three weeks after the wedding and there were so many beautiful images to choose from that I had a hard time picking my 500 proofs! Since the wedding the studio has been so responsive and helpful in helping me select all the photos in my package. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Dean is an amazing photographer. It shows being he has been in the business for so many years and knows exactly what to do. He has such an upbeat and positive personality that you feel so comfortable with him. Being it poured on our wedding day, Dean transformed my house where us girls got ready into a perfect area to take pictures in and really takes pictures so fast you don't feel like you are taking a million shots with a fake smile. He suggests great poses and does some really fun shots! We weren't able to take any pictures outside so he transformed our venue space into a great area for taking pictures, too! I'm actually happy we didn't take our pictures outside because I loved the shots he was able to take inside! He is so talented!! Our entire family and bridal party laughed the whole time he was taking pictures. He really keeps it fun! Even during the wedding, he didn't take us away from our wedding but took great shots throughout the night. Instead of being in your face, he would be dancing next to you on the dance floor! He is an amazing photographer and is really the best in the biz! I would recommend him to anyone getting married! You won't be disappointed!

The photographers at Dean Michaels were no tonly professional, but made our guests and family feel totally relaxed and comfortable. It did not help that it had snowed about 8" the night before our event and into the morning to add to the stress level of the day, but when we arrived at the temple for my son's bar mitzvah Rich was already there! That certanly put our mind at ease.
I shopped other photographers and not only was Dean Michaels competitive, they provided service that lived up to and even exceeded our expectations. I strongly recommend them to friends and family for their special occasions.

It was wonderful working with Dean Michaels Studio. My pictures came out great!!

Dean Michaels Studio has been photographing my family for years. They are the best studio around, and all my friends use them. Everything turns out great! You'd be crazy not to use them!

Dean Michaels is fun, lively, and most importantly professional. The photographer is obviously one of the most important parts of your wedding day and will be around you most of the day. Dean made both me and my husband more relaxed on what is a very stressful day. Once the reception began, we didn't even notice he was there (which is how a good photographer handles an event). But I can tell you he was not off relaxing; Dean and his team work hard and take their jobs very seriously. They are up to speed on all the latest technology and take absolutely incredible pictures. Our wedding was on December 4th, but it was unseasonably warm and we had just a little light left after our ceremony (which was on a Friday afternoon). Dean took control and got some of the most amazing outdoor shots as the sun set. We didn't expect to be able to have any outdoor shots but Dean's goal the entire time was to get those for us and he certainly did. My sister used Dean for her wedding as well and absolutely loved him which is why we used him for ours. Me and my husband are recommending him to all our friends who are getting married or have children. We will surely have Dean take some shots of our children in the future! I highly recommend Dean Michaels Studio if you want to be worry free on your wedding day about your photo and videos.

I cannot say enough nice things about Dean Michaels Studio. After attending a few bridal expos and putting my name on many mailing lists, I got a lot of postcards in the mail for different photography studios. The choices seemed overwhelming, but when I received the beautiful postcard in the mail for Dean Michaels Studio, the choice was pretty much made. From the first meeting my husband and I had with Dean himself, to every phone call, email and appointment from thereafter, we were treated like VIPs. We loved Dean's work and after meeting him, fell in love with his vibrant personality as well. We splurged on our photography budget a little to get Dean himself as the photographer, but it was worth it. We had a Halloween wedding with some unique touches - Converse sneakers for the groomsmen, red crinoline skirts for the bridesmaids, a stretch yellow taxi - and Dean was so excited about all of these ideas. He had great energy from the beginning of the day, all the way til the end of the reception and his attitude was really infectious - he kept everyone excited and in a great mood. Based on how great he is at his job and how much he loves taking photos, I'm sure the rest of his staff is just as talented, fun and professional as he is.
Dean took amazing, creative photos. There were thousands of great shots to choose from for our album. Our entire bridal party felt comfortable around Dean and they loved his ideas for different poses. He never seemed to be in the way at the ceremony or at the reception. When it came time to go to the Studio and design the album, his staff there were very helpful and patient in explaining the process. We cannot wait to get our completed album back in the next few weeks - we know it is going to be perfect.

I had a wonderful experience working with Dean Michaels Studio for our wedding. It was very important to us to work with a photographer with a great reputation. Unfortunately some of our friends have had bad experiences with the companies they used, and we didn't want that to be us. From the first time we met with the staff at Dean Michaels, we knew we were in excellent hands!

We worked with Rich on our wedding day. I can't say enough good things about him. He was prompt, extremely professional, yet warm and friendly. He worked very efficiently and was extremely pleasant to everyone. I knew I didn't have a thing to worry about! Rich took so many excellent shots, yet was completely unobtrusive. His skill and talent are amazing.

We were thrilled when our pictures were promptly put up on the studio's website. Our picture selection was so incredibly thorough with wonderful shots to choose from.

The entire staff at Dean Michaels has been incredibly helpful and friendly to my husband and me throughout this entire process. We'd choose them a million times over as our photographer for any special event.

I cant say enough good things about Dean Michaels Studio!! Rich and Rich were my photographers, and Jose was my Videographer. Not only were they professional, they were so friendly, and interacted with my whole family and bridal party while getting ready. At the church, I didnt even notice them, yet the pictures showed they were there and captured every special moment. Both the pictures and video were spectacular, and the whole process was almost too easy. Thank you!!

As Mother of the Bride, I cannot say enough about the exceptional photographs we ended up with from my daughter's special day. Dean Michael's Studio was simply wonderful to work with, from the 1st meeting with Dean in October 2008, through the wedding itself in October 2009.

The photographers were charming, high energy, and funny. They truly made what could have been a stressful situation, enjoyable for my daughter and the family. And the photographs are amazing!! We have so many gorgeous proofs to choose from that it is difficult to decide which ones NOT to use in the albums!

I have nothing but glowing things to say about Dean Michaels. Our wedding was back in October and we worked with Rich, Jay and Jose (for video). Not only did Rich have everything under control, but he was a BLAST to work with. They laughed with us and had a great time. They felt like friends!

We just got all our pictures and our album back and it was nothing short of amazing. They were worth every penny then some! The staff is also just as wonderful. They definitely shared my excitement, and that made me even more happy to have worked with them. The pictures are breath-taking and I am so happy I had such wonderful photographers to capture my special day. I look back on the photos and video pretty regularly and am just blown away every time. They really put me at ease that day, and if I could do it all over, I wouldn't change a thing!! Thank you so much to Rich and all the people at Dean Michaels for making our day memorable and capturing those special moments for us!!!!!

We had Dean as our Photographer and he was absolutely fantastic! He went out of his way to find a perfect spot to take outdoor photos of the Bridal Party after the wedding ceremony, before we left to drive to the reception. It was very important to us to have photos taken outdoors while we still had daylight and we were not going to have much time to do it. Dean scouted out places the weekend before so he knew exactly where to go when the time came. He has great energy and personality. Our pictures came out beautiful!! We would definitely recommend him to our friends and family!

Great photographer, were so willing to accomodate anything I wanted to do thanks!!

Both the album and video are beautiful. The staff was very helpful in resolving any issues before and after the wedding.

Every decision that is made for a wedding is so important, but for me, the photographer was the most important! I did not choose to use a videographer, so the pictures were the only memories I was going to have to look back at. What a big decision!! I have to say the entire process, from first the meeting to the wedding day, everything was so organized and professional. After looking at the sample albums, I chose Dean Michaels for the creative photography and the stunning variation of colors used with black and white. It really wasn't until the wedding day that I realized how lucky we were for choosing Dean Michaels. Our photographers were so upbeat and fun! They didn't make anyone feel uncomfortable, trust me my father was not the most photogenic guy, they just did an outrageous job. The album process was just as smooth and they created a beautiful album. They listened to everything I had said and gave me the album I had dreamed of. I cannot say enough great things about Dean Michaels!!

Simply the best wedding photographers!

I would recommend Dean Michaels Studio to any bride out there. The entire staff was easy to work with, whether it was Dean the day of the wedding or Danielle doing my thank you cards....EVERYONE was wonderful. My album looks amazing. Having such a huge selection of proofs online was great as well.

On the day of the wedding Dean and the second photographer were awesome. They got great shots and were so fun to work with! The entire in office staff were always responsive to my questions and got me my proofs, album, etc. in such a timely manner.

I looked long and hard before choosing a photographer for my wedding. A friend of mine recommended Dean Michael's Studios. I was surprised to find that they were competitively priced. I recently saw the first draft of my designed album.... I LOVE IT! I was blown away! My album was so beautifully done! It even looked nicer than there model albums which I had loved during the initial consultation. I can't wait to show everyone my album! I am so glad that I spent that bit extra on my pictures. Pictures last a lifetime, it is definitely worth it!

Dean Michaels is wonderful! The photographer for our wedding was professional and creative. He made me, my husband and our families feel comfortable and the end result was pictures that we love. The other reason I would recommend Dean Michaels is the assistance we received at the studio before and after our wedding. After a last minute decision on our part, they rushed a slide show DVD to us so we could have it played during our cocktail hour. We've stopped by to pick our proofs and design albums..during each visit the people that work for the studio are helpful and professional. It's been a great experience!

Dean shot our wedding in August 2009. We absolutely could not have been happier. Of all the stress planning our wedding day, our pictures were one thing that we did not even remotely worry about! Dean made us feel so comfortable, which really shows in the pictures. He helped the whole day run smoothly and even the guests loved him! Where do I even begin with the pictures? They are stunning. Dean and his staff have such an artistic eye that not only do they capture the important moments of the day, but they also take amazing pictures of the little things. Dean Michaels services were definitely worth every penny!

Working with Dean Michaels Studio was a great experience. On our wedding day the photographers were nice to work with. They got great pictures during the reception but we did not even realize they were there. They were very helpful in picking out prints for our album. The album they designed for us is beautiful!!

Working with Dean Michaels Studios for my wedding was an absolute pleasure. From the moment we met Dean, my then fiancé and I knew that his high-energy and positive attitude would make for a wonderful experience—lucky to say we weren’t disappointed.

From our engagement photo session to the wedding day to the work afterwards, Dean and his staff were the consummate professionals. Dean took pictures so quickly that you can’t believe how many photos were taken in the given time. His mix of artistic and classic shots was the perfect combination. He was able to please my husband and I as well as our large family. Dean was able to capture all the shots we wanted and more in various locations, and we didn’t even miss our cocktail hour (how many brides can say that?) On top of that, all our guests gave the best possible comment a wedding photographer could get—we hardly noticed he was there all night! Dean was never invasive, but rather omnipresent and not missing a beat. At the end of our wedding day he and his partner had taken over 2400 images!

Looking at our pictures after we got back from our honeymoon was so exciting. I have never felt more beautiful on my wedding day and I am so fortunate that Dean and his staff were able to capture the true emotion felt by my husband and me. Choosing the pictures for our album was only difficult because there were so many we LOVED. Luckily, the studio made the process painless and enjoyable. At this point, we are awaiting our album to arrive, but have seen the final design. Like everything else from Dean Michaels, our album is beautiful and we look forward to reliving our memories for years to come.

Certainly Dean Michaels Studio will not be the cheapest photographer around, but remember, you pay for what you get. If you want the peace of mind that you are going to have beautiful images from your wedding day, then Dean is a great choice.

We were so pleased with our experience with Dean Michaels. Our photographer was very professional, unobtrusive and great to work with. Our pictures came out beautiful and we were very pleased overall. I would recommend them to anyone who's looking for a wedding photographer. Rich was ours-we loved him!

I love Dean Michaels Studio. The energy they bring to photographing our event really made a difference. They're fun and they really know their craft.

Dean was our photographer, and he was fantastic. He was amazing when it came to calming my wife down before the ceremony. We took pictures before the ceremony to get them out of the way. Dean even went out of his way to pull us aside after the ceremony for pictures, which he did, but his real reason was to insure we ate a little before we got slammed by our guests. All of my friends and family thought he was fantastic, and he took some amazing pictures. All of the girls at the studio are fantastic as well. Each person I spoke to was great and handled every question with great care regardless of how much of a pain I may have been.
Our album is beautiful, and I would recommend them to anyone. You can not possibly go wrong with Dean Michaels Studio

We had our wedding video and photography done with Dean Michaels. We chose them based on the quality of their work and the fact that they created a package that worked for us rather then making us fit one of theirs. Even when we had a glich with our video, they quickly fixed it and made it even nicer by throwing in some cool effects.(Video was great originally, just had a moment when sound didn't sync completely.) My husband and I loved our album. Very impressed. Each of us kept pulling it out and looking at it constantly the first few days we got it...lol! Thanks Dean Michaels.

Very satisfied with service and quality of video and album!

Dean Michaels Studio was amazing! He was full of energy and had such creative ideas for pictures of our wedding day. He was also accommodating to all of my special requests that I had for pictures as well. At the end of our special day, we had over 2000 pictures to choose from! What beautiful memories we have!

Dean Michaels Studio came highly recommended from a friend and we are so happy that we chose them! Rich was our photographer for the day and he took so many amazing pictures. We are still trying to narrow down the proofs we want since there are so many pictures to choose from. Rich took all different kinds of pictures (formal and funny) and used different techniques (different lighting and some pictures looked like you were looking through a fish bowl--they were pretty neat) to vary the selection. We had just as many candid shots as we had posed. Most of the time I didn't even know Rich was around! He was very accommodating--if you wanted a certain picture, he made sure he got it for you. We can't wait to finally make our album and to re-live the day! We would definitely recommend Rich and Dean Michaels Studio to every bride-and-groom-to-be!

Our photographer captured every moment of our wedding - he was absolutely fantastic. He worked so well with all our family members and guests. You wouldn't never known he was there but he got everything. Same goes for our videographer - we can't wait to see our DVD! Worth every penny...I can't wait to use them for any other event!

They were so great to work with - the minute they walked though the door they were snapping photos. They will take recommendations on photos, alter their packages to your needs - very easy to work with - they were even dancing to the music while taking photos - you didin't even know they were on teh dance floor -

One thing that was really important to us on our wedding day was our photographer. From the moment we met Dean, we knew we needed to have him! Dean, Laura & Jay were on time and ready to roll! They captured all the special moments of the day! The pictures are amazing and we are still enjoying looking through them all! They have such a unique and beautiful way of capturing the day! Thank you for the great job you all did!! We will continue to recommend you to everyone we know!

Dean Michaels Studio did a beautiful job with my wedding photos. My album was everything I hoped it would be. Everyone I dealt with was professional, friendly and very patient! They allowed me to take my time reviewing the photos and worked with me until the album was exactly the way I envisioned it. I would recommend Dean Michaels Studio to anyone!

DEAN MICHAELS STUDIO MADE MY WEDDING DAY. I WAS MORE THAN HAPPY WITH MY PHOTOS I WAS AMAZED! NOT TO MENTION THE STAFF WORKING FOR HIM ARE AMAZING,FRIENDLY, AND GO ABOVE AND BEYOND... DEAN IS THE BEST, AND IM HAPPY I GOT HIM TO TAKE PICTURES ON MY WEDDING DAY! ILL NEVER FORGET MY WEDDING WITH ALL THE GREAT PHOTOS I NOW CHERISH!

Request Dean (the owner) if you can! He really gets into the event and is a great personality to have around for the day!

I will begin this review by saying we have not received our photos back yet, but so far we are very happy with our experience with Dean Michaels. Nichola coordinated everything and she was helpful, but not pushy. She sent us photos they had previously shot at our venue in addition to the other samples they provided us with. All of the samples we saw were creative, but did not over do it. Dean Michaels is a little more expensive than some of the other companies, but we really liked their work.

On the day of the wedding, Elise was our photographer. When she arrived at my hotel room, she was immediately friendly and outgoing. As soon as we went to leave the hotel for our “outdoor” ceremony, the rain began. As we got closer, the down pours began. As soon as we pulled into the site, the decision was made to have the ceremony at our reception site. As we all went to leave, the best man who was driving with another groomsman and the groom, hit a boulder and the car was disabled. The photographer ended up having to drive the groom to the wedding! Despite this imposition, Elise was very accommodating.

Since we no longer had a photo site, Elise did a great job of improvising some other shots in between rain drops. We are hopeful the photos we get back will be as wonderful as the customer service we received so far.

I recently got married on 9/4/10 and hired Dean Michael s Studio for photography. I am very picky and it took me six months to finally decide who I was going with and it was Rich and his studio that sold me. I had a list of questions that I didn't even get to ask because Rich covered everything which was so nice. From the moment I walked in to the moment I left it was such a pleasant experience. The studio is full of photos which is nice to see and Rich was so helpful and confident, as soon as I left I knew I was booking them. I requested Rich as my photographer and he was amazing!! I have such great photos from both routine wedding pictures to candid shots so I had a lot to choose from. It is now six months after my wedding day I and I am still having such a hard time picking out my photos because there were so many to choose from but if I ever need assistance Rich is always there for me. I would hands down book them again. Thanks again Rich for capturing my most special day!!!!

I can't begin to describe my reaction to working with Dean Michaels Studio. If you were anything like me, finding a truly talented photographer for a reasonable cost seemed to be a long shot to an already stressful planning experience.

Dean Michaels Studio was heaven sent! Upon meeting with them, I knew that their flexibility, professionalism, and talent was a perfect fit for my husband and me.

I was lucky enough to work with Rich on my wedding day. He was early and full of exciting ideas. One of my favorite memories of my wedding day was spending an hour alone with Rich on my very own photo shoot at my house. Rich was standing on chairs, laying on the floor, shooting me from all different angles. The pictures came out amazing. Everyone says that I belong on a magazine and I'm sure that was all because of Rich's doings!

I got married in July on one of the hottest days of the summer. As I left the church I pulled Rich aside and told him that my husband and I decided that we were going to skip pictures in the park because we felt badly for our family and friends who were in the wedding party. Rich said, and I quote, "Listen, I'm your photographer and I'll do whatever you say but this is your wedding day and you'll never get a chance to take pictures like this again. Give me twenty minutes and you won't regret it." I sit here writing and I look up: All of the pictures around my house are from those twenty minutes. Rich gave me my greatest wedding gift.

The office at Dean Michaels Studio is just as amazing. I can honestly say that I would be comfortable having the studio complete my album completely on their own. In a society where you have to do everything on your own, trust no one, follow up with vendors and make sure that they're not taking advantage of you...Dean Michaels Studio was heaven sent.

Having Dean photograph our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! From the moment Dean arrived at our house to the final song of the reception Dean was there to provide the best service we could of ever asked. His personality and flexibility was so overwhelming! He was so easy-going and calming to all! When we think back to our wedding day we are so thrilled with the choice we made in regards to our photographs. My family and guests are still saying the we made the best choice for our pictures! Dean did not miss a thing throughout the whole day! Thanks for doing such an excellent job for us! We appreciate your hard work!

Our photographers name was Richard..he was great!

Our Photographer was great! She made taking pictures fun and still let us enjoy our day!

My photographer, Rich B., was fantastic. He was very responsive when I called with questions and was the consummate professional on my wedding day. My entire bridal party commented on how great he was and the beautiful pictures are the proof. I do wish he'd discussed doing some more "special effects" with me because I really like some of the more "fun" pictures I've seen on the website, but didn't feel like those were really presented as an option to me. Everyone else at Dean Michaels, including Amy and Danielle, have been fantastic too. They return calls and e-mails promptly and always have good information.

We had a wedding of about 250 people, so it was on a larger scale, we found it beneficial for us to go with the 2 photographer package. Because they were able to seperate and capture moments that one would never have gotten.

Great photographers, extremely professional, and they take absolutely beautiful shots! We are excited to make our album!

I spent alot on my pictures, but they were worth every penny. I wish I had made more of a list of artistic shots I wanted, but I loved everything I got and the little things weren't really important. My coffee table book is gorgeous - they were very flexible with the package and letting me have whatever I wanted.

Dean Michaels is wonderful! He made me feel so relaxed on my wedding day! He was wonderful! As was the videographer!

From the moment my husband and I met Dean Michaels, we knew we wanted to have them photograph our wedding. Although we were unable to have Dean, we loved having Rich photograph our wedding on our special day. I was able to call Rich up until right before the wedding, and he never seemed to be bothered by my countless questions. Rich was very helpful and took pictures my husband and I knew we wanted. Taking our pictures were a fun and memorable event, which Rich kept us pleasantly entertained throughout. Each time we need to go to the studio or have correspondence with them, it feels like we have been friends for a very long time. That comforting feeling, openness and professionalism they exhibited helped make our decision in choosing Dean Michaels Studio to photograph our wedding.

Our photographer was very professional. She was on time and stayed probably even longer than required. We got about 1,800 photos with our package. We were happy with the pictures but would have liked some more variety. With some of the pictures it seemed like there were 10 of the same. Other than that, we were very satisfied.

Rich P. was my photographer, he was great!

The photographers were fabulous. Very high energy, nice always smiling. Made the hour long picture taking a lot of fun! Very unique and creative photos and during the ceremony/reception you barely notice they are there until you see the thousands of pictures they have taken afterwards!

We loved working with Dean and used his videographer, Gus, as well. They were both very professional and didn't interfere with our day, yet still managed to guide us into great shots. We would highly recommend both of them and would use them again for any photography needs.

My photographer was Dean himself and another person from his company. He was very good, very professional, very funny, very accomodating. The only problem was that I was not too thrilled with my pictures. I did get 700+ proofs and loved a lot of them but some things were missing and I am not sure that it was the photographers fault or it was mine. I only had 1 picture of myself in my house and that's it. That was kind of disappointing. He was very creative and did do some interesting shots. He actually uses my wedding picture as his advertisement and it is said that a lot of brides that use him want the same shot taken. I remember at the time of taking the shot, my bridal party with myself included were like, "Uh, ok, what is he doing" but let me tell you, that it is a very nice shot and I have it hanging in my living room and he has it in his studio and website. I would def recommend them, maybe just make of list of specific pictures that you would like to take becuase like I said I am not sure if I missed some pictures because I did not make a list. Would I use him again? Yes I would, he is a great joy to work with. He was very accomodating with me, I had him as my photographer and another photographer was with my husband. Dean suggested that I meet my husband before the wedding to take pictrues and I didn't, and regret it. Maybe if I did meet my husband before the wedding, I would not have missed so many pics. My album came out wonderful and very timely.

As for my videographer, my video came out wonderful, brings back memories every time I watch it. The only ting with my video is that during me getting ready they played a song to it and I did not like the song that they chose, I wish it was a softer song. But all in all they were very good.

I would recommend Dean Michaels Studio because of what they can do with wedding pictures. I specfically love their design of the wedding albums, as well as their dedication in taking thousands of pictures on my wedding day. Rich was my photographer and he literally took 5000 pictures, if not more. Engagement pictures were ok, not really what I expected. I was hoping for more creativity. Now that I think back, I should have hired two photographers on the wedding day because the second photographer can take pictures from angle which doesn't require posing.

Rich was our main photographer. He was great, I would recommend him to anyone. He took awesome pictures and was a pleasure to work with; he stayed a little after the wedding to take pictures of my whole family. Would not recommend getting the 2 photographer package. 2nd photographer seemed to just eat and take pointless pictures.

The girl who met with us during our initial consultation was a little rude. I tried to explain what we were looking for in our package, but she seemed hesitant to customize anything without adding in lots of other features we didn't want, and at one point simply suggested we go elsewhere. She would not reserve a photographer for us until our deposit was down, which makes sense. The problem is that nobody was reserved for a few months even after we paid the deposit. E-mails went unanswered for long periods of time, and then we'd end up getting an ambiguous answer. I finally called in and spoke to another employee, only to find out that the girl no longer worked for them. After that, everything went smoothly and we had the photographer we wanted (Laura). Future communications were punctual, and Laura was great. She got all the shots we wanted and kept the wedding party happy and entertained.

Dean Michaels Studio know how to capture the emotion of your wedding day through their photos.

Dean Michael Studios are the best!

As a wedding professional with 20 years of experience, I know the good vendors from the not so good. I love working with the staff at Dean Michael Photography.

Dean and Rich set the standard for other photographers. They are professional, fun, interactive yet unobtrusive and all around great guys. Their finished work is outstanding as well. Most times I can't say that about photographers since I usually only interact with them the day of the wedding. I have used Dean Michaels for a few of my own personal photo shoots and everything was always top notch. You can't go wrong with Dean Michaels Photography
