About



Paul is an exceptionally talented photographer who creates wonderfully unique images. He's an artist who approaches photography as a medium of expression rather than a work assignment - he's a story-teller, telling the story of your wedding with his photos.

he writes: "When I see the brides mother looking proudly at her daughter as she dresses for her wedding day, or the wedding couple sharing a loving glance, I understand that my job is to capture the relationship between these people - that in order to create something that is truly moving or meaningful I must look for those special, fleeting moments that define the occasion ".

Artistic, photojournalistic and creative, Paul combines your taste, your style and your vision with his photo-skills, artistic eye, and technical expertise.

Paul has been an absolute pleasure to work with! From my first meeting with him, I knew I wanted him to photograph my big day. He offered so many services and even his studio for hair and makeup since my venue was so close. He really made sure I, and the rest of my crew, were accommodated in every way possible. I ended up calling off my wedding, just to elope a few months later... and there was Paul at the last minute to make sure he captured our marriage. He then captured the most beautiful pictures at a small reception we decided to have a year later. His consistency, professionalism, and just good natured personality really added to both our days. I would highly recommend Paul to any future bride or just a photoshoot. His attention to detail is outstanding. You will not be disappointed!

Paul was amazing. He took so many gorgeous pictures and he stayed the whole wedding until the very end which I appreciated! I had shown Paul pictures that I wanted before the wedding and he made sure that we took everyone even though I would have forgotten. After the wedding Paul was always responsive and answered any questions me or my mom had for him. Paul was always friendly and great to work with! I highly recommend him!!

Paul was so easy to work with. He not only took into account the pictures we wanted captured but the general feel and atmosphere of our wedding, and in turn captured so may amazing images that I never thought of! The pictures are phenomenal and more than I could have dreamed of. His gentle and unobtrusive style made him an absolute dream to work with ... especially on such a chaotic and emotionally charged day. Definitely a dream to work with.

Paul is a great photographer, and captures every single moment on your big day. Paul was extremely flexible, and very professional throughout the entire event. He had a great vision, and was able to capture the best shots, but also gave us the option of taking our own custom shots. I would highly recommend Paul for any events where you need a great photographer.

Paul Dempsey Photography and our florist were our best/favorite vendors out of our whole wedding. His photography is breathtaking and he is so easy/comfortable to work with. Our engagement photos and wedding photos are beautiful and our wedding album is stunning. I couldn't be happier with the quality and detail he provides with his photos. My good friend will be having him as her photographer in her upcoming wedding after viewing our engagement and wedding photos. He took the perfect pictures for our wonderful day!

After researching and meeting with a few south jersey photographers, I knew that Paul Dempsey was the right choice for our wedding. The sample photos on his website, along with other photographs I was able to view in his studio were one of the main reasons we chose him - he has great style when it comes to taking pictures. His wedding photography packages were also budget friendly for us considering all that is included. We got a chance to work with Paul by taking advantage of an engagement session and were able to use those photos for our "save the dates".
Paul was always very responsive to emails. He was receptive to our wants and needs throughout the wedding planning process. The day of our wedding he showed up right on time (maybe even a little early) and was very professional. He worked well with our large group, which included several kids. He caught some very beautiful and special moments during our ceremony and reception... Looking back it was as if he wasn't there - he knew right where to be to catch all the planned and unplanned moments.
We were more than pleased with all our photos, as were our families. We are in the process of working with Paul on our wedding album. We chose all the photos and he has come up with an awesome layout. We can't wait to receive the hard copy.
Overall - we couldnt recommend Paul more. He was a pleasure to work with, and we look forward to working with him in the future when an opportunity presents itself!

I can’t say enough great things about Paul Dempsey and his work! While deciding to elope was an easy decision to make, the decision on how to document the day was a bit harder. As a semi-professional photographer, I tend to look at images a little differently than most people. When I realized the photographer we chose and the moments they would capture would have a greater meaning, I started to overanalyze myself, because no one else would be there to share the day. I couldn’t have picked better than Paul. He was professional, flexible and understanding throughout the entire process from contract to album. During the ceremony he was unobtrusive, so we were able to elope but still have the moments captured, which is exactly what we wanted. I knew it was the right decision when I caught Paul and my introverted husband chatting in his studio. Stop searching for your photographer and hire Paul for your event, big or small, if he’s not already booked.
