    Phenomenal! The BEST.

    Dean and Zozo are AMAZING to work with. They are so personable and made my husband and I so comfortable throughout the entire process. In a setting where sometimes it is hard to just be yourself and relax, Dean does a great job of bringing out the personalities of everyone. I cannot express how great of a decision it was to use Dean's Photography. I would recommend them to everyone if I could!

    Amazing experience

    10/10 would recommend Dean, incredibly caring guy who’s only goal is to give you your dream wedding without any hassle or hesitation. Not only did the pictures turn out amazing but the day before the wedding we had a slight worry on if our DJ was going to be able to make it or not. Within just a couple hours we had received a message from Dean telling us he already had another DJ lined up and on standby. Needless to say if it wasn’t for Dean I don’t believe our wedding would have gone as smoothly as it did.

    Amazing, Wonderful, Perfect

    I had an exceptional experience with Dean and Zozo. Their professionalism was evident in every aspect, from prompt communication to seamless coordination on the big day. The creativity displayed in capturing moments surpassed our expectations, resulting in truly stunning and unique photos. What stood out was their flexibility, adapting to different scenarios effortlessly. The overall quality of the photos is outstanding, capturing the essence of our special day beautifully. I wholeheartedly recommend them for anyone seeking a talented and reliable wedding photographer.

    Best Photographer Ever

    In a word: awesome. Dean's Photography was the best decision we made for vendors. From our first video call with Dean, his personality made us so comfortable and we knew his knowledge of photography and the wedding industry would be extremely helpful. Dean and ZoZo made photos fun, and everybody was comfortable in front of the camera. We had so many people comment on how much they liked our photographers at the wedding, and even more compliments once we had our photos back. Our photos, especially our night shots, turned out amazing. And, they will do everything to get the shot, including laying in snow.
    Dean will go above and beyond just being a photographer, guarantees your day to be stress free and you will have photos to treasure for a lifetime. Hands down, would hire him again and again.

    Excellent photographer and overall experience!

    My husband and I used Dean's Photography for our wedding in 2023 after a recommendation from a friend. We have absolutely zero bad things to say about our experience. Everything was fantastic! Dean communicated with us very well and quickly, met with us in person to get an idea of what we wanted and who we were as people, and made us feel comfortable during the whole experience. He was professional, and just went above and beyond with the whole process. He even helped us get a gorgeous landscape photo from when we got engaged blown up onto a canvas without losing the quality of our photo. Would recommend to anyone!

    Use Deans Photography, highly highly recommend

    Dean and his team are absolutely wonderful. He made sure we were all having fun, felt safe, and comfortable. His photos capture moments so perfectly and the quality is exceptional. He is worth the price and then some. Not only did my husband and I enjoy him, but everyone who attended our wedding was astonished how amazing he was and how thoughtful he was throughout the entire day. I will recommend Dean to ANYONE. Photos I truly believe are the #1 most important piece of your wedding because you get to look back on them. You will want Deans Photography to be that for you! Highly highly recommend.

    Dean and his partner were great! Their personalities really meshed with the laid back environment we wanted. They were there for every happy and silly moment. The days leading up to the wedding Dean would always respond back within 24 hours. He did our engagement session so he could get to know us and how we operated. The rehearsal dinner and the wedding he was in encouraging the fun to get great pictures of everyone's smiling faces!. The edited pictures were awesome and I wish I could buy them all! The photo booth we had was a huge hit as well. he uploaded those pictures within 24 hours! it was so much fun working with them.
    P.S. He was sure flexible with what we wanted done on our wedding day. I am a scatter brain and he kept up with me!

    Amazing and easy.

    Dean was understanding, patient, and very easy to work with. He photographed my brother's wedding as well, and my husband and I loved the results of what he did that previous wedding. Very happy and satisfied with every little moment he captured on our special day!

    Would not have chose anyone else!

    Dean and his wingman Paul aka Zozo were anything but amazing! They made sure we were their number one priority! Day of the wedding, Dean knew my daughter and I were sick and texted me right away that morning asking if I needed anything. He is so thoughtful and so down to Earth! One of my Bridesmaids dress ripped and Zozo came to the rescue and sewed up her dress the best that he could with the tools that he had. Dean was definitely my wingman that day making sure everything ran nice and smooth! I highly recommend him as your next photographer! You will not regret it! He goes above and beyond!

    Best photographer EVER!

    Dean and his crew were just AMAZING. We could not have had a better photographer for our wedding. We all had so many laughs. They were on top of things before I even realized I needed something! They knew exactly what they were doing. The personalities were out of this world and I could not have been more thankful. Dean and the crew made the day perfect and I didn't have to worry about a thing. Highly Highly recommend, I can't express this enough!

    Amazing Photographer

    I met Dean thru my cousin for her wedding . I knew I wanted to use him for my wedding . The package that we got was amazing. It included engagement photos , rehearsal dinner and to be with me during my day and night . He knew how rehearsals are supposed to go and I could ask him anything for advice. Our pictures turned out amazing from engagement to our wedding . Dean got our pictures back in a timely manner . I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our day .

    Amazing!

    We are incredibly grateful for Dean and his second shooter, Zo. If I could give Dean's Photography 10 stars I would! They photographed our Wedding and received compliments all around! (Our wedding was June 18th, and to this day we are still hearing how awesome our photographers were!) They were with us from 8:30am on Saturday morning until almost midnight! Dean is a 'go-getter' and will do ANYTHING it takes to get the best photos! He was so helpful throughout the whole day, asking if we needed anything and what else he could do to help. If you haven't contacted him yet to do your photos, I am not sure what you are waiting for!

    Dean is amazing

    Dean and his crew are amazing to work with and the pictures turned out stunning!
    Photos of your big day are something you don’t want to cheap out on. We had seen Dean in action and his photos from a couple of ours friends weddings so it was a no brainer for us when planning our day.

    Overwhelmed

    Dean was the absolute best! He couldn’t have been nicer or more fun to be around. For our connection session he and Zozo agreed to drive 3 hours to a very special place up north which made our pictures all the more special. Not only were the photos gorgeous but he made it so comfortable and fun. For our wedding he was there literally all day. He started shooting at 10am and didn’t wrap up until midnight. Our wedding day was such a blur it was awesome to experience the day again through all the amazing photos. We just received our pictures and the turnaround was unbelievable we got married 11/20/21 and got our pictures back in under a month. Simply an amazing experience and would hire again!

    Like family!

    Dean and his best bud Zozo are the absolute best humans in the photog business. From the initial interview up to our wedding day and even after, they were the most passionate and compassionate team to work with. Dean and Zozo make you feel like part of their best friend family group. They are so warm and welcoming and fluent in sarcasm, which is so helpful when you're awkwardly touching and kissing your S/O in front of other people and a camera. They made us laugh and feel so comfortable in all aspects of the wedding/photography process. Dean was so approachable and is so immediate to respond to all your constant questions, and is also so flexible to help plan your vision with your wedding. Our wedding party and immediate family absolutely adored Dean and Zozo day of and still have compliments to say months later. You will not go wrong with hiring these two!

    Phenomenal!!

    We had such a great experience with Dean for our wedding! Not only were our pictures amazing but Dean and ZoZo were freaking awesome on our wedding day!!! They did a great job of blending into the background or the crowd so we hardly knew they were there, which made for some killer candid shots. But somehow Dean was always there when I needed something. He was like a ninja that took care of me and my needs all day long. He rolled with the punches and accommodated last minute changes, he made sure I ate something and stayed hydrated, and best of all he made me laugh and feel comfortable. My wedding party couldn’t speak highly enough of him. And now everyone is gushing over our photos! I would give extra stars if I could!

    Absolutely Amazing!

    We wouldn’t have wanted anyone other than Dean as our photographer! Dean is not only an amazing person but an amazing photographer! He was accommodating and willing to try any of the crazy ideas I threw at him! (Even after almost braking the camera) 100% would recommend him to anyone in need of a photographer!

    Exceptional

    Working with Dean has been fun and exciting so far! He had new ideas for our Connection Session. Needless to say, it did not disappoint! He goes the extra mile (literally;) and puts in the effort to get the priceless memories captured. And we haven’t even gotten to our wedding day yet! So excited and looking forward to seeing his vision and talent on our wedding day!

    Do yourself a favor and just hire this man.

    We hired Dean for our August 2021 wedding and he was amazing to work with. Not only did he beautifully capture our big day, but he truly went above and beyond to make our day as stress free as possible. Dean and his team helped to make sure we stayed on schedule and did an outstanding job coordinating every special moment of our day. They even filled drink glasses for our wedding party so that we could relax and enjoy the celebration! Family and friends made sure to let us know how impressed they were with how friendly and fun Dean was. My mother made the comment that Dean fit in so naturally on our day that he "felt like family". We had so much fun looking through all the photos Dean captured of our wedding day and reliving some of the most precious moments. If you are looking for a fun and adventurous photographer who has a keen eye for unique shots and great orginqtional skills, Dean is your guy! We cannot recommend him enough as we feel so blessed that he was able to capture our wedding day so beautifully!
