Dempag Photography

Yale and Megan from Dempag Photography were an amazing team and we cannot thank them enough for their hard work and the professionalism they displayed for our wedding. From our initial meeting, they assisted with all of our needs and were there with the knowledge to answer all our questions. They remained adaptive were present at all our major events. They captured the serene moments and aesthetic beauty of our family and friends, fun memories, and the details of our venue and ceremony.

Dedicated and Professional

My husband and I weren’t entirely prepared for the professionalism and dedication this team had for capturing our moments. We are so very grateful and happy with how the photos turned out and have even recommended them to friends. 
But overall, communication, dedication, and care are what Dempag excel at.

From our engagement photos to our wedding day, video, and even DJ services, he went above and beyond to make the entire experience amazing.

Dempag photography gave us magazine quality wedding photos!

Dempag Photography was spectacular! Yale, the photographer, is incredibly gifted with a creative eye and his work is amazing. When I posted our photos on social media to share with friends and relatives, the comments told us that they were the most beautiful wedding photos they had ever seen, while others asked if this was a photo shoot for Vogue Magazine. Everyone was so impressed. Yale was very easy to work with, extremely affordable, kind, and open to ideas. He even helped with wedding coordination, obviously very experienced with weddings. He made our wedding day special and the photos of our wedding will be artistic treasures to cherish and remember forever.

Dempag made it the event easy. The photographer knew what he was doing, knew what looked good, knew what we wanted, and made things light and fun. The pictures turned out great! I'm having a hard time finding my favorites there are so many amazing pictures!

Perfect photos of a perfect day!

With Yale we got so many amazing pictures that are just as perfect as our wedding day! Yale was also so great to work with! He was personable and fun, and listened to our thoughts and what we were looking for in our photos. He took that all into consideration and added his own artistic touch, and we couldn't be happier with the results. It truly can not be overstated how much we loved working with Yale and the results of his skills. You will not be disappointed!

Amazing!!!

I can't even tell you how amazing Yale was to work with! Not only was he so easy to communicate my wants and needs to, he blew my expectations out of the water with his creativity and vision. He is such an amazing person in himself but his team was also amazing! He made my wedding day so much more amazing with his photography, photo booth, and DJ amazingness!!!!! I would recommend him and his team to anyone I come in contact with. I had no idea what was going to come out of the photos. But, was so taken back by the artistry of his expertise. When I got my photos back my husband and I could not pick just one photo that was our favorite because he produced so many amazing memorable moments in his pictures that were so amazing! He has such amazing vision and will help you with anything you are questioning! He has such great experience and will tell you what works best and what doesnt if you are unaware. And will tell you if what your thinking might not be the best and has reasoning behind it. 10 out of 10 recommend!!!!

You won't be disappointed!!

Yale is AMAZING! Between him and his son, they made our day so special! They fit right in with our guests, talked football like we knew them for years! He made our day and everything leading up to it so smooth. He kept coming up with new ideas to try and get the perfect shot. I wish I had a favorite picture but in all honesty I can't find just one. Yale was able to get my husband and I both out of our shells and the pictures are PERFECT!! Not only did we use Dempag for our photos, but we also had him for our engagement shoot, videography, ceremony sound, DJ, and Photo Booth. Everything he did, just turned out so great!

He makes everything so fun but also takes his work seriously which provides some of the best outcomes I've seen! I recommend him to everyone who asks, along with sharing any and all work of his I can!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
