We had a great experience working with Dean

My husband and I are so happy we chose Dean to be our wedding photographer. He left us an amazing gallery of 700+ photos to choose from. He has an excellent attention to detail. He came to our venue the day before the ceremony at the time of the wedding to make sure he got the lighting and all of the posed photo spots picked out. He was extremely fairly priced, and did great work with all of the photos we received back. He communicated with us often in the months leading up to the wedding as well as after when we were getting the photos back, even offering some prints to us. He was professional, fun, and friendly. Dean went above and beyond with our wedding photos, and we would be happy to recommend him to anyone needing a professional photographer.

Truly a superb experience!

Dean exceeded our expectations. He was super attentive and made the whole process less nerve wrecking , as I am a very shy person. Concerns and suggestions were welcome without judgement . He truly was very patient and warm. I could not be happier with the end product. Dean Photography offered superb customer service. Constant communication throughout and delivered on his word. I would highly recommend Dean Mackay Photography for any occasion.

Pictures to cherish forever

From the moment we met Dean we knew we found our photographer. He has very good communication skills and willing to go above and beyond for you which a lot of times you don't get that anymore. We were very happy with our pictures there were so many which made it hard to choose from we hope to use him again.

You were amazing from beginning to end. You also showed gentle guidance with so much positivity throughout our whole planning process, especially day of the Wedding. Thank you for capturing our incredible day that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Your work really shows with each photo, I can't wait to share them with my family and friends!

Above and Beyond

He was great! Unreasonably affordable, spent extra time with us before and after the wedding which he didn't have to do to make sure the lighting was good and we had good locations. We had an airbnb wedding so everything was up to us and he was really helpful in giving us advice for what photos would look good while being open to our own ideas. Obviously the photos turned out as good as promised. Also a nice person who clearly loves what he does. What else can you ask for?
