Everything we hoped for!

The Dearly Beloved team was a dream to work with. From our initial meeting with Rachel for our engagement photos to the end of our reception, everyone we worked with was so kind and committed to making sure our experience was enjoyable. They’ll meet you at your comfort level but still make sure you have a good time getting all your shots. They jumped at any chance to help us or to meet requests as they came up in the moment. We decided to do a “first look” before our ceremony, and they helped make the moment beautiful and comfortable. We wish we had the opportunity to thank everyone individually in person as we realized shortly after the reception that the team had left, so for now we’d like to thank Rachel, Jesus, Steph and Jalen for being such an integral part in making our day so special. We also booked the photobooth through DBW for the reception, and it was a big hit with our guests! We would recommend DBW to everyone we know.

10 Out of 10 Service

Still in awe of the amazing work Dearly Beloved Weddings did for our big day. From the photos to the video, everything was absolutely stunning. But what truly stood out was how caring and accommodating they were—even a year later when I reached out to surprise my wife with more footage. Melissa is a gem, and the team puts so much love into what they do. Highly, highly recommend to any couple looking for wedding memories that will last a lifetime.

They are amazing!

i don’t know where to even begin with how absolutely blessed we feel for choosing dearly beloved (photography and videography) for our wedding— they were nothing but amazing- from our engagement shoot to the last minutes of the reception… when we first starting looking for vendors— dearly beloved caught my eye immediately… they were the only ones that i had reached out to and thankfully they were available for our 8.5.2023 wedding!! they were super informative with all the questions we had. My husband and I are not very natural when it comes to taking pictures but Lauren, Laurie, and Jesus made us feel so comfortable— almost like they became our friends during this whole process! We cannot thank them enough. do not hesitate to book them for your wedding!! you will not regret it, i promise!

Such a wonderful team to work with!

Dearly Beloved Weddings were the first vendors we booked for our wedding! We love their photography style and their body of work alone proved to us that they were the team we wanted capturing our special day. Our photographers and videographers led by their Associate Kristine Smith were spectacular! Kristine met with us multiple times to nail down exactly what we wanted captured in our Greek pre-wedding and ceremony traditions. She and her team captured everything we could have wanted and more! They were very flexible and respectful with our families and guests, and our bridal party felt so comfortable with the team guiding us in taking our photos together. We just got our photos back and they are absolutely spectacular! We are so excited to have our documentary edit video and memory book, we know it will be incredible! We wholeheartedly recommend Dearly Beloved Weddings to capture your big day!

Best choice we made!

I was very very picky when it came to selecting a photographer and videographer. One day I came across Dearly Beloved's website and noticed my friends used them for their intimate beach wedding in 2020. The video was perfect and it was the exact look/style I was searching for. They have a photographer in their family so I knew they were very picky - I immediately reached out to my friends for some feedback. They had nothing but good things to say and told us to book them. They were nearly booked for October but luckily Larissa was available. We initially met Larissa in person for our engagement shoot in April. Since it was April we figured we would have some pretty pictures in warmer weather - but it ended up being in the 30's and cloudy. It was so cold and I was nervous how the photos would come out. Once we got them back we were so happy - they ended up having a fall look which worked better as our wedding was in the fall!
For our wedding we had 2 photographers and 2 videographers - which was unexpected and made me so happy. We even have guests ask how we had so many!! Larissa and her team had us laughing throughout the day and really made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Book Dearly Beloved - you will not regret it!

The best!

I can’t say enough amazing things about DBW. The level of professionalism, talent and just overall customer service is unmatched. I had the pleasure of working with Rachel, Juliana and Wayne on my wedding day and from start to finish they were on-point. I was really stressed about my wedding day, but they had a really calm energy throughout the day and made sure to really pay attention to specific shots I wanted. They were able to capture all the emotions of the day on camera, and we got the sneak peeks back so quickly and they were all so beautiful. Rachel, as the lead photographer, made sure to keep communication open with me leading up to the wedding day and was so sincere in every interaction. I know the rest of the photos/video will be amazing! I am confident that this is the most talented group of photographers in the area, and you can tell they really love what they do. Thank you DBW!!

The best experience!!

Couldn’t have asked for a better team to capture our wedding day! Jillian was our lead photographer and was a total dream. The whole team made us feel so comfortable and our sneak peeks are making us so excited for our whole gallery and video. Book them now!! You will not regret it.

Amazing Team

Kristen, Christian, and Larissa exceeded all expectations. They were wonderful to work with from start to finish. We've just received our sneak preview just days after the wedding and the pictures are absolutely breathtaking. Their energy the day of the wedding was exactly what we needed to feel comfortable. They were the ultimate hype crew. I am so confident that the final photos will be just as good if not better than the sneak peak (is that even possible?). We also hired Christian as the videographer and are so excited to see what he comes up with. The talent that this crew has is just unbelievable. If you are in the market for a photographer, I would run (not walk) to try to book these guys. Thank you Dearly Beloved for helping to make our wedding perfect!

Dream Team

Kristen & Christian have been my husband and I’s top choice for photography and videography since we got engaged back in 2018. Unfortunately they were booked for our original date, 10/24/20, but I say everything happens for a reason as we were able to book them for our microwedding on 9/30/21. Kristen was SO supportive in helping me to find a venue to host at after a few changes; she called and text me until we could find something and really helped calm the jitters as it felt so last minute to find something. I appreciated this more than she knew! On the wedding day itself, Kristen & Christian were literally our biggest hype team in keeping things flowing, calming our nerves, and capturing the true and genuine nature of our relationship. I always loved that about their work, nothing is really forced or posed- always in the moment! The sneak peeks made my husband and I, as well as our families, emotional so I cannot wait to receive the full album and video! I cannot recommend Dearly Beloved enough, their talent is unmatched!

Sweetest couple, beautiful work

Christian and Kristen are the sweetest people to work with!! You can see the love between them which made it super comfortable to work with them and they gave us ideas for photos. They guided the entire thing which was helpful. They are very laid back and go with the flow which put us at ease on our wedding day when nerves are present.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
