    Your Dream Photographer!

    My husband and I got married last June 2020. But it was 10 months before that when we met. We knew each other was the one immediately and within two weeks of meeting, we put a deposit down for Deidre to photograph our wedding. Yup, you read that right! I knew of Deidre's work from my college friends getting married and while I had since moved from IL to CA, I still very much always dreamed of having her as my photographer. Fast forward and we had no idea 2020 would bring all that it did when it came to planning for our wedding during a pandemic. Deidre stuck with us the whole way even when we moved the wedding from CA to CO at the last moment. Her assistant, Casey, found us the most beautiful locations in the national forest for our wedding. I can't thank Casey enough for all she did the day before our ceremony with location scouting and the day of with making sure everything was well documented...and of course absolutely beautiful photos! When it came to our rescheduled reception, Deidre and Casey were unable to attend in person (thanks covid for the new date). However, Deidre found a local photographer to shoot the day and then edited them herself. We were still able to get one of a kind photographs for all the important moments and more! This is such a short version of all that happened and what Deidre walked through with us. I am very grateful for her staying with us throughout the whole process. She's not only incredibly talented, but also a kind and loyal person. I have no reservation in recommending her to anyone getting married. She and her team are more than worth the investment!

    Deidre Lynn Photography's reply:

    Oh Sarah what a blessing to read these words! Thank you so much for your kindness in taking the time to write this - it means so much to us and while I will always live in a tiny bit of jealousy that Casey is the one that got to shoot your wedding and I only got to live vicariously through the pictures, I'm SO happy that in the end, everything worked out exactly as it was meant to

    Wedding Photographers of your DREAMS!

    I want to start off by saying that Deidre and Casey hands down created the most beautiful wedding pictures I could have ever dreamed up. I found Deidre on Instagram well before I got engaged. I am a wedding photographer myself and truly admire her work and the rich artistic feel her photographs exude. When I decided to get married in Michigan and found out she is only a few hours drive away, I knew I had to see if she was available for my wedding. I was lucky enough to have her partner Casey and second shooter Rachel capture my day! From the very first email with Deidre I was greeted with such excitement and professionalism, to talking with Casey on the phone about my wedding day they made me feel so excited to have them create my wedding memories. Casey has a personality that will light up a room and make you feel instantly comfortable, the day of her excitement radiated across the crowd. The pictures that were captured are moments that I will cherish forever; candid moments I didn't even know were happening, moments with my family and friends, the little details that were worked so hard on to make our wedding what it was, and the pure bliss between my husband and I throughout the entire day. Casey and Rachel captured our day in the best way possible and Deidre edited the photos to be the most beautiful works of art. I recommend this group of ladies to anyone looking for a truly talented and genuine team of photographers, you will be so happy you found them! I can't thank you all enough for what you have given me, my husband and family!!!

    Deidre Lynn Photography's reply:

    Oh my goodness can I leave you a review for your amazing review?! Carson...thank you for blessing us with these amazingly kind words!! You are such a gem and genuinely gracious person. Thank you 1000000 times over!

    I had an AMAZING experience using Deidre as my engagement picture photographer and wedding photographer. Her style is so romantic and beautiful and I am obsessed with it. I had friends and family tell me that the photographs looked like they could be in a magazine because she captured such unique pictures in such an artistic way. Even more, Deidre is an extremely sweet person and always made me feel comfortable, which isn't always easy to do when you're posing for photographs. She made me feel confident and made the entire experience fun. I can't say enough wonderful things about Deidre and her photographs and I'm so happy we chose her for our wedding. I would definitely recommend using Deidre!!

    If I could go above 5 stars, I would. Her work is absolutely stunning. As if her work wasn't amazing in it's own right, she is the kindest person I've had the privilege of working with for my wedding. Look up her work, it is gorgeous. She goes above and beyond and is definitely worth hiring, if she's still available for your date.

    Deidre Lynn Photography is the best way to go!! She is not only the nicest, sweetest, most understanding person; but she is SO talented. She stays with the idea you are going for, and does the poses you want, but tells such a beautiful story on her blog. She captures you in the best light, and knows the BEST angles for a flattering picture. I would recommend her over any other photographer around. I have to comment on her assistant as well, she is amazing too! :-) Thank you, Deidre!

    When choosing your wedding photographer, I encourage you to consider your desired style. The reason I make this seemingly obvious suggestion is because there are a lot of people who can take a nice picture, but everyone has a different photography style. Deidre is the definition of my desired photography style. I would describe her photos as warm, authentic, romantic. She cares deeply about capturing the emotion between people, and I appreciate that we were able to focus a lot of time photographing my husband and I. You can have complete confidence in Deidre to manage your time schedule well, and know that she is not going to miss a thing. She is also very attentive to give you back your images as quickly as possible. I could go on...she's just the very best.

    Where to begin on such an amazing person and photographer! Deidre is the ultimate professional, yet makes you feel as if you have known her forever. She succeeded in making both me and my husband feel comfortable and excited about getting our pictures taken. The photographs are just incredible - you can't even tell it was the hottest, most humid day of the summer! We received our picture files within two weeks, and we couldn't be happier with the results!

    Deidre was wonderful to work with during our wedding planning process. The day of our wedding she captured all the moments, both big and small, while still staying in the background and not interfering with the events of the day. We are so happy with our photos!

    Deidre and her team from Deidre Lynn Photography are by far the best!! I booked Deidre about a month after we got engaged not only because I LOVE her work, but also because she is one of the most thoughtful, kind, and genuine women I know. She met with me and my husband and I immediately knew it was a partnership I had to have. Her work is magical, dreamy, and a true piece of art. While you are sure to get your classic wedding photos you will also get photos that cannot be matched. They hang beautifully in our home and our album is priceless. I would recommend Deidre to anyone who is looking to work with an honest, kind, and talented photographer who will deliver amazing photos of you and your spouse!

    When I was searching for a photographer, I fell in love with Deidre Lynn's work and knew that I wanted her to be there for our special day. She is one of the most talented, down to earth and creative photographers. The work she does with lighting and the outdoors is amazing. Our wedding photos are beautiful and something we will treasure for years to come. She had the exact feel I was looking for and all of our photos express that. She is fun and easy to work with and makes the whole experience so special. I highly reccommend Deidre Lynn for your photographer and know that you will be 100% satisfied!

    I absolutely loved working with Deidre. I was really nervous to have my picture taken at first but she made us feel so comfortable. We received sooo many wonderful comments about our engagement pictures. Our wedding was fabulous. I didn’t even realize that she was there but she captured every moment. Her love for photography really shows through her photographs. I cannot say enough great things about Deidre. I would recommend her to anyone. I am so addicted to her blog. Check it out for yourself! http://www.deidrelynn.com/ You will not be disappointed.

    Deidre Lynn Photography was an absolute JOY to work with! As a busy bride, I researched and researched wedding photographers near and far. Finding a great photographer was a high priority for us, but finding vendors that we ENJOYED working with was equally important! I remember feeling not satisfied and so indecisive....until I finally came across Deidre's work. Once I browsed through her photos and talked with her, I knew she was just what we were looking for! Our experience with Deidre Lynn Photography couldn't have been better!! Deidre is so spirited and fun to work with. We shot our engagement photos in the BITTER cold and snow, while our wedding took place on the MOST humid day in St. Louis!! But Deidre and Brandon were so positive and our photos turned out BEAUTIFUL! If you are looking for artistic, original, and moving photos Deidre Lynn Photography is just the one for you! Her and her team are simply wonderful :) Thank you Deidre!!!!

    Deidre did an amazing job capturing our wedding day! I am very into pictures and photography and therefore choosing a great photographer was very important to me. I looked at numerous photographers and I can definitely say I found one of the best! If are looking for the traditional wedding photographer this isn’t it, but if you want art and gorgeous and unique pictures look no further! I love my pictures more and more each time I look at them. Additionally, Deidre is so sweet! Sometimes getting your photo taken can feel awkward, but not with her! I felt like I was walking around having a friend take pictures of me all day, I couldn’t ask for anything better. Thanks, Deidre!

    Deidre was amazing! I knew from our first meeting that photography would be one part of my wedding that I wouldn't have to worry about. She was super flexible when it came to engagement pictures. She made my husband and I so comfortable while taking photos that I can honestly say it was fun and not just work! She was great coming up with poses and places to take pictures. Always looking for what would make you look the best. On the wedding day she went along great with our wedding party. Never missing a beat even with our rowdy groomsmen! She was always able to organize everyone to get the pictures taken but never sounded bossy. The pictures she took are just beautiful. She captured every big moment perfectly. I really can't say enough about her! I know in the future we will be going back to Deidre for any photography needs!

Not only does she take beautiful pictures, she is also very easy to work with. Deidre has such a wonderful personality which makes you feel comfortable and at ease. This was a huge relief on our big day. I would recommend her to any bride-to-be!!

    I have to say, Kelsey put my thoughts into words before i could! ...I, too, love photography and I guess you could say I had pretty high expectations when it came to my wedding photography. Deidre was the only photographer I found that created the emotional, striking photographs that I wanted for my wedding day. Seriously, she doesn't just capture your wedding day, she makes art out of it. She takes pictures that will help you remember your wedding day for years to come, but are also beautiful enough to hang in your house as a piece of art.
    Besides having such great talent, Deidre has the best personality! You can't get any sweeter than her. She is SO accommodating and helpful when preparing for your wedding, and shooting with her is more like hanging out than getting your picture taken! Her ease behind the camera made my husband and I feel so relaxed, which really came through in our photographs. That, paired with an impeccable eye, makes for the most stunning photos. I clearly can't say enough about her, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!

    O where to begin on how much I LOVED working with Deidre Lynn Photography... I have always loved taking pictures and looking at pictures, so naturally the wedding photography was a big choice for me. I spent a lot of time on wedding websites looking at photos from various weddings and none of them really made me go "wow"..until I came across Deidre Lynn photography. Every picture I saw captured the essence of the day and you could see the emotion in each photo. Deidre is truly an artist!
    I booked them right away and new my pictures would be simply gorgeous. The process was easy and any questions I had for Deidre were answered right away. Deidre makes you feel 100% comfortable and will do anything to get you the best possible pictures :) I am madly in love with both my engagement pictures and wedding pictures because they are unique and like works of art. Everyone who has seen my pictures says, "these are the neatest photos I've ever seen".
    If I had to rate Deidre Lynn Photography on a scale of 1 to 10, they'd be a 110 :)
    Thank you Deidre for making our wedding a spectacular day, which we can remember for the rest of our lives with the help of your lovely photos.

    My sister and I both were married the summer of 2010 and both chose Deidre Lynn Photography without knowing the other had. We had scrutinized every other photographer in the area, but none offered the romance or the narrative Deidre was able to project through her art.
    Deidre does not just capture a couple getting married; she captures the excitement of putting on a white dress, the bittersweet tear in the mother’s eye and the look of forever between the new husband and wife. She does this through skill and through a desire to give every bride and groom a meaningful and permanent representation of their wedding day.
    Deidre and Brandon braved thunderstorms and humidity on my wedding day and romped through weeds up to their elbows while being scorched by severe temperatures on my sister’s. Getting the photos we now have was not an easy task, but you can tell this is more than just a business to them, this is about providing access to some of the happiest moments in a couple’s life.
    Friends, family and complete strangers are in awe when they see the photos from our wedding day. They look like still shots from a romantic movie or a dream. My husband and I had a blast the day of our wedding, and Deidre Lynn Photography captured every moment, every look, and all the romance I wanted.

    Deidre and Christy were great at our wedding.. While Deidre was taking pictures of me Christy was taking pics of the guys. (When we still hadn't seen each other.) Then they both continued to take pictures throughout the day/evening. Deidre had said she would be our paparazzi for the day and she definitely was!! It was great! And the pictures are amazing! She is able to make a boring picture look beautiful by enhancing the color or certain objects in the photo. She does such a wonderful job! I am so excited that Deidre was available to take our pictures, I feel that the pictures of our wedding day is the only thing we can truly keep that will bring back such great memories. How great that every picture is beautiful!!!

    Deidre was wonderful to work with. So professional and artistic. She absolutely loves what she does and it comes across with the final product. Our photos turned out fantastic. The whole day was captured in a special way and the photos say it all. Another great aspect of this photographer, is that they do a great job of being behind the scenes during the ceremony and reception. The whole time we never noticed them taking photos. We have heard from other people, that some photographers can be a bit intrusive, but Deidre was not that at all. We are very happy with everything!
