Dee is absolutely fantastic! She is well known in the area and photographs for the Botanical Gardens, so you know you're getting someone good! She brings along an assistant so there's two people getting the pictures, and only a few days after the wedding she already had 13 sneak peek photos - which are stunning!! She knows what pictures to get and knows how to be stealthy so as not to get in the way. Her and her team are simply amazing, sweet, caring, and will help make your day amazing, as well as help you remember it that way forever.

We loved Dee from the moment we saw her website! She has an eye for photography that is very rare to find. When we met with her we didn't really have any questions to ask, but she told us some things we should have asked her. For example if she was insured. It was nice and very professional of her to talk with us and gave us trust in her. We booked engagement pictures and were thrilled with the pictures! They were amazing and so creative, just what we were looking for. She sent us a sneak peek of our wedding pictures taken April 9, 2011 and I love them! We have received so many compliments on the pictures and what a wonderful photographer she is. She pays very close attention to detail and ensures she captures each moment. Dee is amazing!

I was concerned after seeing Dee's pricing that I was missing something. How could a photographer with such an extensive portfolio be such a good deal? I can honestly say that Dee was the best photographer that I have ever worked with. Her pricing is more than competitive, it is a bargain. There aren't hidden costs or upcharges, she and her team do amazing work. We used her for our engagement photos and wedding photos. The final products were amazing. My husband doesn't enjoy getting his picture taken but Dee knew just how to work with him. The entire process was a breeze and the photos are truly breathtaking.When it came to the wedding day Dee and her team were spot on. They knew were to be to capture the perfect perspective. Normally photographers specialize in candids or portraits, contemporary or old school. Dee does it all exceptionally well.

We will always cherish Dee's photos because they captured our special day with our friends and family.

WOW....Went above and beyond my expectation .Our images were beautiful and plenty of. We gave her lots of time for pictures after our ceremony this is where it started to get crazy and she stepped in with full control and patience and the end result was beautiful . Our pictures were up on the web site on time for all to see .
It's much easier to get her via email but she will pick up the phone and listen . Thanks for our pictures that will tell our story of the day that went by so fast and the images we will have forever.

The pictures that Dee created of my daughter's wedding are gorgeous. Everyone oohs and aahs over them. From the close-ups of the bouquets and gown details, to the send-off at the reception hall, Dee and her assistant captured every moment of the day with precision and class. The team showed up on time and fulfilled every jot and tittle of the contract and more. We found the online venue for viewing the photos easy to use, and Dee produced it on schedule. Overall, I love the job that Dee did for us, and I would not hesitate to use her services again.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
