    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.

    Five Stars!

    We can’t say enough good things about working with Yale from Dempag Photography & Entertainment! From our engagement photos to our wedding day, video, and even DJ services, he went above and beyond to make the entire experience amazing. He made us feel comfortable, captured every special moment beautifully, and truly cared about making our day unforgettable.

    The quality of his work blew us away, and the value he provided was incredible, far beyond what we expected. We’re so thankful we chose him, and we’ll treasure these memories forever. If you’re looking for someone talented, professional, and genuinely invested in making your day the best it can be, we highly recommend Dempag Photography & Entertainment!

    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.

    Made it Easy

    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!

    Professional AND fun photographer

    Working with Yale was so easy. He is professional and his experience shows. The pictures are all absolutely gorgeous! His eye for finding the perfect composition combined with putting you at ease in front of the camera is a hard set of skills to find! We were beyond happy with our photos and so thankful that we had Yale to capture our special day. ❤️

    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!

    If you're looking for the best, Yale is the one!

    Yale was a dream to work with, he was able to make the day run smoothly while making sure all my must haves were captured. While Yale may seem like just an average wedding photographer, his love for what he does shines though his work and the way he works with people. I have a split family, divorced parents and family who arent on great terms, and made it a point to get to know the "isms" to make sure things flowed smoothly! We also had the Dempag team DJ our reception and it was a huge hit, with multiple age groups to appeal to, the dance floor always had someone on it. It was a blast seeing my great aunts on the dance floor having a blast!! I have suggested Yale to all of my engaged friends, if you are in need of man who can do it all Yale is the one for you. I couldn't begin to thank him for the role he played in making my wedding the best day.

    Absolutely amazing! We felt so comfortable and relaxed from beginning to end. Our engagement photos and day of photos were simply stunning. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer!

    Outstanding Quality & Creativity

    Yale was such an incredible choice for our wedding. He was so personable and kind. He listened intently to all of our requests and did a fantastic job in the delivery. We had quite the alternative music selection and he did wonderfully managing the unfamiliar tunes. His creativity and personal touch to the experience made our big day one to remember forever. He really helped make our wedding special. We are so pleased with Dempag and would highly recommend their services for any important event.

    Beyond Pleased

    Demag was better than imagined. I saw many pictures and liked the style but was still blown away by every picture we received. We did engagement pictures and had 10 hours of wedding day coverage. We also used them as our DJ and the dance floor was full all night. Everyone had a blast.

    Great affordable photographer

    Yale was fantastic! He is an affordable photographer who definitely delivers great photos! We had our wedding in Stillwater during Harvest Fest, which means there were a lot of people around. He didn't have any problems with it - we got all our pictures outdoors, and he was able to avoid people (or ask them to wait) so he could snap the photo. The outcome was fantastic - we love our pictures. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

    Dempag made our wedding day perfect!

    I can not say enough about Dempag Photography & Entertainment. We did the full package that included photo, video, and DJ. Our engagement photos were amazing and our wedding photos were even more incredible! Our wedding day went by so fast, and I am so happy that we can go back and watch the video from that day! It brings us both back to that day like it was yesterday and all the amazing feelings rush right back. Do not do your day without the video! The photo booth was a huge hit, and we laugh every time we look at the pictures. Everyone raved about how fun the night was, and how great the music and entertainment was! The dance floor was busy all night long! Yale went above and beyond our expectations and made our night perfect! You definitely need to hire him for your wedding!

    The best Photographer and DJ!

    Yale and his team were the best! They made everything so much easier from the beginning to the end! We bought the package that included a photographer, DJ, and photobooth! We also bought a package for the ceremony music. Dempag is one of the most reasonable vendors, but with top-notch services! Our pictures turned out amazing! Thank you, Yale and his team!!!

    Dempag Photography and Entertainment

    Dempag Photography & Entertainment helped make our wedding day the best day of our lives! If you want to have a fun wedding - hire Dempag! Yale likes to have fun and his pictures show it! He truly captures you in your natural element and helps keep the party alive! On top of it, he is so responsive and easy to communicate with which takes off so much stress on the bride and groom. I was so nervous that we would fall behind schedule but Yale was so efficient and made sure he captured everything we asked. We had a party bus after our ceremony to our reception that he hopped on too and I'm so glad he did because he got such fun pictures from it! We had so many compliments on his entertainment services too. At our reception we did something he calls a photo dash where the bride and groom have one song to run to every table and get a picture with everyone and literally so many people told us how cool that was AND we got a picture with everyone! Yale was a blast to work with and we are so happy we chose him!

    Great quality & price!

    Yale and his team made planning our wedding reception easy. Instead of having to hire separate photographers, MC, and DJ, we only had to coordinate with Yale and we knew we were in good hands. The photos we have seen so far turned out amazing and were a perfect mix of staged and candid.

    Yale is AMAZING! He did our engagement photos and our wedding reception photos and I cannot stop looking at them. He captured US perfectly! We also used Dempag at our reception (DJ & photo booth) and Yale kept the dance floor popping! The photo booth was a hit, too! I HIGHLY recommend Dempag!

    Best guy ever

    Yale is so much fun! He did our engagement pictures and both of our weddings (12.19.20 and 12.18.21) due to covid changes. Each time he has taken pictures he made Darby and I feel more relaxed and the pictures turned out amazing (and my husband does not like to smile)! When he has an idea, roll with it because it's going to be cool and you will have an amazing picture to brag with to your friends and keep the special memories from that day. He was so understanding when we decided to postpone the full wedding and just did a small backyard wedding the first time and worked with us to make sure it was easy, and as a bride who had to plan MULTIPLE variations of BOTH weddings, Yale was the ONLY one who made it easier for me. Quick to reply, willing to be flexible, working with the times, on top of the easy going personality it made a world of difference. For the second wedding Yale was also our DJ on top of photographer, and still setting up a photo booth (highly recommend, these pictures are so funny and sweet). At dinner, he really got the guests into it and was playing games with the group, he is a natural people person and EVERYONE loved him, and my family is not easy to please. I cannot express what a positive impact he had on all of our days from start to finish, and should we ever renew our vows, we know who we are calling. If you want great pictures you will love forever, call Yale. If you want someone to to make sure the wedding flows well between ceremony dinner and dancing, call Yale. If you want someone to be a great DJ who really reads the needs of the crowd, call Yale. You will be so happy that you did! I cannot thank him enough for all that he did and making our special days the best memories of our lives.

    I am thankful I found Dempag

    Because of Dempag's amazing prices, we were able to afford photography, lighting, a photo booth, and a DJ. With all of the other photographers I was interested in, I wouldn't have been able to get anything but them. The two photographers at our wedding were really wonderful. My husband and I are very awkward in front of a camera but they made us feel so comfortable and I am so excited for our photos to come back! Yale's photo editing is different than all of the other photographers too. When trying to find a photographer, I felt like they all looked the same. But his editing is artistic and I can't wait to decorate our house with stunning photos. The DJ was also pretty impressive. Our group of people weren't dancers, but he managed to get everyone out on the dance floor at least once!

    THE BEST! He breaks rules, takes risks, adds so much fun to the day, and captures the most incredible moments!!!!!

    Yale was INCREDIBLE! He took such strong direction of the group, captured so many special moments, and was not afraid to get dirty! Not only was he at one point laying down on the wet streets in the middle of Minneapolis to take pictures but was also stopping traffic and created the most magical sparkler moment!

    If you want a photographer who will take risks, thinks outside the box, and is so incredibly fun for your wedding you want Yale!!!!

    Answer to prayers

    We had hired a different photography company for engagement/wedding photos, but they fell through. My now-husband and I were left without a photographer for our wedding, not to mention engagement, less than 2 months before our wedding! My family found Dempag last-minute on WeddingWire. Yale understood our situation and scheduled us for an engagement session immediately. Our session was wonderful!! We had so much fun and we were so comfortable, I was surprised! We normally don't like being in front of a camera. We got the pictures back quickly and I was overjoyed. They are absolutely beautiful and captured "us" and the love and fun we had had. Then the wedding.....oh my gosh, our day was perfect and Yale captured every perfect moment!! I am so so grateful to have all those beautiful memories captured! My family looked at the photos and they commented that they hadn't even noticed Yale moving around so quickly. My friends have already said they plan to hire Dempag for their weddings :)

    Dempag was the life of the party and made our wedding wonderful!

    We hired Dempag Photography & Entertainment to photograph and DJ our wedding. Yale was very responsive in our communications, sending out detailed documents to figure out what aesthetic and timeline we were looking for. Before the event even started, they set expectations and communicated clearly to figure out what we wanted. They showed up early the day of, and were nothing but professional. When the time came for photos Yale had a plan and executed it quickly, got the shots in the spots he had scouted and ran us through a ton of different poses so none of the photos felt like a repeat. Never once did he feel unprepared or get caught off guard. It's worth the time to check out his photos on instagram because he takes truly wonderful shots.

    The DJ service was wonderful. The mic quality was great throughout the ceremony - even at a remote site, the music was catered to our taste according to music we shared, and the photo booth had a ton of fun props that sent the photos right to people's phones.

    Without a doubt a wonderful choice for a photographer and DJ.

    Amazing vendor

    I cannot say enough great things about Yale and his team at Dempag Photography and Entertainment!! We booked them for our photos , video, photo booth, and DJ back in 2019 for our summer 2020 wedding. Thanks to Covid, our wedding was rescheduled to 2021. When I contacted Yale about rescheduling, he was easy to reach and super accommodating.

    Fast forward to this year. Yale reached out with paperwork to be sure that we were on the same page and everything would go smoothly for both the ceremony and reception. There was no question that Yale and his team knew what they were doing. The photos came out beautifully. The video is terrific, completely capturing the essence of the day. All of our guests loved the photo booth, plus they were able to receive digital copies of the photos instantly. The DJ read the crowd perfectly and kept the night going without pressuring guests to dance.

    We have a young son who still naps. Yale had absolutely no problem doing photos around his nap. I had planned on dancing with him to a slow song. Literally minutes before our dance, I asked Yale to change it to “If you’re happy and you know it”. Without hesitation, he found the song and switched it out. Our son was thrilled and the guests loved it.

    Booking Dempag Photography and Entertainment for our wedding was honestly one of the best decisions we made!

    Brilliant and Amazing!

    From the very first moment when we met Yale- he has been nothing but professional! He was great at asking questions , getting to know our preferences, style, needs - as well as provided his amazing expertise to make our events seamless. His great eye for detail, punctuality and sense of humor - made our stress disappear and I knew we were in great hands. He was flexible and added extra time for both of our events when needed. He was great with our friends/ family aswell and they absolutely loved his enthusiasm. Hiring him to cover our wedding photography/ videography needs was one of the best decision I made! THANK YOU YALE♥️

    Magician, life saver, and entertainer/photographer of a lifetime!

    I honestly don’t know where to begin. my journey with Yale begin a few years ago when we first connected regarding my wedding. To say that I loved him immediately is putting it lightly. His quick responses, customer service, willingness to please his couples, and go beyond what someone could ever dream of doesn’t even touch the surface of his quality. My husband and I used Yale and his team for absolutely everything. Engagement photos, wedding photography, photo booth, party bus transportation, DJ and entertainment, and videography. It would be impossible to pick a favorite service he provided because they were all outstanding. My wedding was picked back 3 times due to COVID, and when picking mew dates, the only thing I cared about was making sure HE was available for whatever date we decided to choose. The memories from the entertainment will forever be lifetime memories, and the photos and video we received have put me in tears of disbelief when I look at them. Thank you, Yale… for everything. Yourself and the Dempag team will forever hold a huge spot in my heart. There’s no one else I’d recommend for wedding services! You won’t be let down!

    Hire Dempag now!

    We’re extremely happy with all of the services that Yale provided. His experience, professionalism, and creative eye definitely exceeded our expectations! When we were initially looking for a photographer, we knew we wanted a videographer and a DJ as well. Once I found out that Dempag provided all of those services, it was a done deal. To our surprise, we received our photos and videos in less than a month after the wedding, and they are perfect! We are so grateful to have an amazing video and lovely pictures to reminisce on our special day! Thank you Yale and your team for capturing our special moments which will surely last a lifetime!

    The best photographer in the state , if not the country.

    Yale is creative beyond measure. He really goes the extra mile to understand what pictures you may want and looks for opportunities to make them possible. Yale is particular in the best way he will never let you look not your best in a photo ! He has a keen eye for detail and symmetry. Yale is someone who makes taking pictures an experience. He also saved the day and drove us to our ceremony from pictures when our ride fell through. We are so thankful we had him there for our special day and could not have done it without him!

    Talented & Creative

    I got married on Halloween and Yale and his team were so awesome! We got so many compliments from our guests, saying how smooth and organized our whole day went! We not only had a Halloween/masquerade theme, but my husband is a HUGE Star Wars fan, and Yale was able to create a family photo for us to put in my husband’s man cave! He also paid attention to the small details! We can’t thank him enough for everything he did that day!

    Simply Amazing!

    Where to even begin?! We had several photographers lined up to speak with, but after speaking with Yale for the first time we knew he was our photographer. He goes above and beyond to make the day the most special day and captures the moments that you want to proudly hang in your living room. He flew all the way to Chicago to do our engagement photos, he changed his entire schedule when our wedding day was moved up 24 hrs in a 48 hr notice (thanks COVID), and he was able to not only be the photographer, but the MC and DJ without any assistants. If you want an all around guy who puts your needs and your wedding above all else on top of taking award winning photos we highly recommend him, we promise you won't be disappointed. We would hire him again in a heart beat.

    Best photographer you will find!

    Yale and Kirk were hands down better than I could have asked for on my wedding day for a photographer and videographer! They not only captured every moment perfectly, but their bubbly personalities and sense of humor made photos & video fun and easy!! They were super helpful even after the day was over with sending over additional requests I had regarding photos and extra video footage! I will absolutely be using them for all future photography sessions as we start our family together and refer them to anyone I know looking!! Thanks again Yale & Kirk!!

    North Shore 2020

    We decided to move ahead with our wedding and Yale was there from the very beginning. Being adaptive to our decisions, he was always there for a phone call with any questions, concerns, and suggestions. Yale is much more than a Photographer or Entertainment specialist, he was darn near our planner, coordinator and more importantly, guest! Thanks to Yale for having a creative, daring, and friendly attitude for the planning, execution, and wrap-up of this very special wedding!

    Picture Perfect Company

    I simply can't say enough good things about Yale! My husband and I made the difficult decision to postpone our larger wedding due to COVID but still wanted to tie the knot in a smaller ceremony with just the two of us. We were looking at scenic places in/near Duluth, MN where we could capture some great shots and knew we needed a phenomenal photographer to capture the day. We stumbled across Yale's page and fell in love with his photos and artistic style - he ended up being everything we could have wanted in a photographer and more! He was extremely prompt with communication and chatted with us prior to the big day to get an idea of what we were looking for and how we wanted the day to go. We ended up traveling the Lake Superior shoreline in his party bus, stopping to take photos in various locations. He was always open to our ideas and even had some crazy ones of his own - including standing on cliffs and braving the frigid Lake Superior water with us to get the perfect shot. His attention to detail coupled with his easygoing personality made for an amazing day that we will always remember with photos we will cherish for a lifetime. While it wasn't what we had originally planned, Yale made our day everything we could have dreamed of and more. If I could book him again for our postponed wedding, I'd do it in a heartbeat!

    Dempag is great!

    Yale with Dempag is wonderful! He is so responsive and gets to your needs and wishes quickly. He goes above and beyond to make your day the way you’re wanting it. We had Yale provide services for photography, videography, DJ, and bus services. The photo booth was a fun alternative for folks to do. Our pictures and video all turned out amazing! Would recommend Yale and his services anytime!

    Best Photographer Ever!

    Yale is a phenomenal photographer who truly goes the extra mile to make his client's special day absolutely perfect. He is a perfectionist when it comes to his photos, which leads to some awesome shots. It is clear that he puts a lot of thought and heart into his work. He's always up for an adventure and makes things fun. For example, at our engagement shoot, we climbed to a rock in the middle of a waterfall. On our wedding day, he had us skate across a plank to a rock in the middle of a stream to get the perfect shot. In both cases, the shots were stunning and totally worth it! His creativity and unique ideas will not disappoint you! Plus, he's a lot of fun to have around! He even has a party bus now! Yale has done our engagement photos and our wedding photos, as well as our ceremony music. We've already got him booked for our vow renewal next summer. If you're looking for an amazing, award winning photographer, DJ/ceremony musician, and party bus, he's your guy! He can do it! We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

    Literally the BEST!

    Yale and his team, Taylor & Tim, were absolutely amazing! Everything that I wanted captured was, and then some. I love that Yale puts effort into making his visions come alive with whatever is inspiring him, whether it be the venue or just in that raw moment. This was such a great team! We were honored to use Yale's company for our wedding photography, videography, DJ, photobooth, and engagement photography, and HIGHLY recommend his services. He also has a party bus!!! Thank you so much Dempag Photography & Entertainment!

    One word - Phenomenal

    I don't even know where to begin! Minnesota weather put a damper in our plans by giving us a blizzard the day before our wedding, followed by high winds and cold temps on our wedding day. Our plan was to do outdoor photos. Yale quickly adapted to the change and did an amazing job with our indoor photos. They turned out absolutely amazing. He was very attentive to details and took the time to make sure every photo was perfect. He came up with so many ideas to make sure our photos were exactly what we were looking for. His personality was easy going and made everyone laugh. Yale caught some of our favorite memories on camera and turned them into a beautiful story. He braved the -30 temps and got one of the most unforgettable photos!!! He even got out wedding party outside and threw around some snow!
    If you are looking for a photographer that will go above and beyond for bride/groom he is your guy!! I could go on and on about everything he did perfectly, but I would end up with pages of details! We had several people from our wedding party that commented MULTIPLE times "he is amazing. He is great at what he does. Where was he when I got married. Etc"
    You will not be disappointed in his work!!! I would get married again just so I could have him do photos!!

    Fairy Tale Day!

    We could not recommend Yale and the Dempag crew highly enough to capture your special day! Yale did an absolutely phenomenal job capturing all of our most treasured life moments, and truly made our big day a dream. His outgoing personality immediately makes you comfortable and at ease trusting him with such a big responsibility. His knowledge and organization was exactly what we needed to bring everything together and maintain sanity on our wedding day. From the photos, to the lighting, music, and overall experience, Yale truly went above and beyond to make the day exactly what we envisioned. Also, the photo booth was also a huge hit, everyone commented on how much they loved it! It was such a relief to have so many vendor needs taken care of in one place. If you’re looking for someone who will deliver on quality and affordability on the biggest day of your life, look no further. You cannot go wrong choosing Dempag to make your day perfect. What Yale gave us with a Dempag wedding experience was truly priceless, we can’t thank him and his team enough!

    Amazing, talented Photogpher

    Yale and his team did an amazing job capturing our wedding day. He was always willing to go above and beyond. I knew we picked a good one when he shot our engagement photos and climbed up a tree no problem to get the perfect picture, and walked in a river even though it was cold out. I love our wedding photos. Yale was also our DJ and I still have people complimenting me how great of a job he did keeping everyone entertained during the reception. He truly is the whole package deal!

    Yale was incredible from the very first point of contact to the delivery of our pictures. He has such an eye and we couldn't be happier. He was so much fun during the wedding with the music, amazing photography and even a photo booth. Our wedding was as great as it was because Dempag was a part of our special day!

    The Best!!!

    Stop looking and hire Dempag! Yale is your guy! He is incredibly responsive (expect immediate response), he’s a great to work with, and we got incredible photo/DJ service from him. Yale made sure everything went perfect with planning meetings, so there was no issue on our wedding day; even during a massive ice storm! He brings that party too. All of our guests had a blast at the wedding and actually wanted to hire him for other family events. Highly recommended!

    I would book Dempag over and over again!

    I found Yale using Wedding Wire and the Knot. In all honesty, I booked him without hesitation. I looked through his website and Facebook page, and I was sold. From the start, Yale was great with communicating, even if he couldn't chat, he would respond and say he was busy and would get back to me when he was available. That, for me, goes a long way. After getting our engagement photos back, I could wait to see what he could do at our beautiful venue. I. AM. FLOORED. I honestly cannot pick out a favorite photo - they're all THAT AMAZING! On top of making our wedding day go smoothly in the photo aspect, he helped to keep me calm and collected knowing he was keeping everything on track. We also hired him to do our ceremony and reception sound and everything was absolutely amazing. The DJ read the room perfectly and played a great variety of music to keep people on the dance floor all night long. As a plus, the photo booth was a HUGE hit, everyone was raving about how much fun it was. I would book Dempag over and over again if I could! They helped to make our wedding day truly perfect and we can't thank them enough.

    Amazing ceremony and reception photographer and DJ!

    Dempag Entertainment was an amazing company that truly made our night the best night. Yale listened to what we needed, helped organize the evening activities, and kept things running smoothly. He went beyond what was expected and we appreciate all that he and his assistant did for us. Our photos turned out amazing and everyone loved him as our DJ. We couldn't thank him enough. We would highly recommend his company for wedding events! If using the photo booth we do recommend having him make an announcement for when they will take it down or having time set aside for the bride and groom to use it. The photo booth was a great for our guest!

    Absolutely a delight to work with

    Yale and his team at Dempag were absolutely amazing to work with. He was very responsive and efficient, coached us on how to take professional photos (something my husband and I don't have experience with), and captured our day wonderfully. We had a very non-traditional wedding, so having a photographer that was able to roll with the punches was definitely a plus.

    Best Phtotographer and DJ We Could Have Picked!

    Dempag Photography was the best choice we could have made for our photographer and DJ/entertainment services leading up to and on our special day. From our first phone interaction, we got some insight into Yale's fun, upbeat personality and unique ideas - we knew we would love working with him months before meeting in person. He was extremely accommodating being out of state (we live in Colorado) and was even able to sync up his vacation schedule with a time to do our engagement shoot leading to ANOTHER international photography award for Yale! He always made himself available to answer any of our questions and was extremely easy to work with throughout the entire process. From the time he arrived to the time he left, Yale and his assistant were instrumental in making the day low stress for everyone and even acted as our "day of" planner, having everything come together seamlessly. We are so grateful we were able to use Dempag and would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a fun, stress free experience, either in or out-of-state!!

    Dream come true

    Used Dempag photo and DJ services, loved every shot we posed for them. We didn’t meet in person until the day of our wedding, but everything was on point to the vision we had for our wedding. Although not all songs requested prior to the day were played, they immediately responded to song requests from guests during the reception. A lovely wedding we will truly cherish with the help of Dempag.

    Above and Beyond

    Yale and his team went seriously above and beyond for our wedding. They did such an amazing job taking care of us and making sure our dance floor was full, the kiddos were busy and pictures we being taken all night. I couldn't have asked for anything more from them. Highly recommend and completely appreciate the level of care for our special day.

    He was awesome!

    Yale was a wonderful photographer, I would recommend him to anyone. He captured our day perfectly, and got a lot of candid moments that I wouldn't have even known to ask for. He went out of his way to get the shot every time, climbing on furniture, running after our horse drawn carriage, and he even talked a stranger into letting us use his motorcycle for some shots! We hadn't met before the wedding, but right away he felt like a friend. He was on time, funny, professional, and knew how to get the best shot from everyone (even the ones who hate getting their picture taken.) I'm so glad we chose him, and I love our wedding pictures. Thank you!

    Overly surprised

    I contact this vendor five days before the actual wedding day, due to a cancelation. He immediately responded and provided me with good news. He came to the venue right on time and made my Bestfriends Day! With our family being our family😜🤣, he came in and was able to complete his task by making everyone feel comfortable and beautiful. He then posted the pictures and made us all cry all over again.
    Thank you over and over again!

    Perfect!! 1000% recommend

    Yale is an incredible person to work with. He really does it all, he was our photographer, DJ and also set up a Photo Booth(which was a huge hit). His communication is awesome, I NEVER had to wait a long time to hear back from him. Our wedding day went perfect and a lot of the reason why is because of Yale. He made sure that we were on schedule and gathered people where they needed to be! His assistants were amazing too! Yale is the person that you need to hire for your wedding! Also his prices are super reasonable. Thanks Yale for all your great effort into making our day the best it could be!!!

    Yale was great! He helped us feel relaxed and comfortable with all the shots we had to take. He was very friendly and professional. He got awesome pictures without being pushy and obstructive. Overall, I would say you are making a great choice if you pick Yale and Dempag Photography to capture your special day.

    Phenomenal!

    If you have stumbled across Dempag on your search for a wedding photographer/DJ, congratulations!!! No seriously, you just won the wedding photographer and DJ lottery. Hire him. He was nothing short of amazing for our engagement photos and wedding. Yale is creative, energetic, amazingly talented, and a ton of fun!!!! His photos are works of art and his DJ skills make for the best party ever! On top of all of this, he is super responsive to emails/texts (typically within minutes) and his prices are insanely reasonable. You can tell that Yale loves what he does as it shows-everyone at our wedding ranted and raved about everything he did. We will never be able to thank him enough for the incredible memories he created for us. This is your guy-you’re welcome.

    Wonderful!

    Yale was so great to work with! It was very cold on our wedding day (15 degrees is generous) and we received a lot of snow the night before but I was still hopeful for outdoor pictures and Yale made it happen. We hiked through 3 feet of snow to get some great shots, he even sat down in the snow at one point for a different angle and he was in jeans! Such a sport! It was so nice that we didn't have to think about things on our day, he handled photos, DJ and photo booth and let us enjoy our day. Highly recommend!

    Excellent! Highly Recommended!

    We hired Yale to be our wedding photographer and he was excellent! He always replied extremely fast to any questions or concerns we had while we were planning for our day and he provided a convenient checklist for us to go through to ensure we got every photo we thought we wanted (plus extras that we didn't even realize we wanted at the time). Yale showed up early and well prepared at our venue on the day of the wedding and had ideas all set for fun and unique bride-and-groom photos, he saved time for some family and wedding party photos, and was enthusiastic about shooting the actual ceremony. During the ceremony he moved around and shot different views (that all turned out lovely!) without distracting or taking away from the ceremony itself. He was peppy and fun and convinced even our most camera-shy family members to relax and show their emotions during our family and large group photos at the end of the night. We couldn't have been more happy with our choice in Yale and Dempag Photography! Highly recommended!!

    Dempeg Photography is the BEST!!

    Our Wedding was on 15 September 2018. Yale was our photographer, and he was amazing!! Very professional, easy going, and fun to work with!! We really didn't have a set plan for pictures, except for a few, and he took a great variety!! We LOVE all our photos!! I highly recommend Dempeg Photography!!

    One-Stop-Shop

    We booked Dempag Photography & Entertainment as our photographer for our engagement and wedding photos, as well as our DJ and photobooth!! It was awesome to only have to talk to one person about these items instead of 2 or 3 different people. He also was able to provide music for my ceremony as it was at the same location as the reception. Yale was great from the photos he captured, to the music he played at the reception. Yale is a great communicator, and usually responds to you within at least an hour or two. Very reasonable priced! I would highly recommend!

    Our experience was phenomenal. We experienced with the DJ, the photographer, and the photo booth. The photo booth was a hit at the reception of our wedding for sure. All the guests couldn't get enough of it and loved the fact you could send the pictures directly to their cell phones! The photographer was also our DJ and was so accommodating to our needs and what we had to work with. He had so many ideas to change things up, and had the humor that fit right in with our wedding party and guests. We had pictures before our ceremony and he was so organized to get things done in a timely manner! He is a jack of all trades and worth every penny!

    I can't say enough good things about Dempag Photography! I witnessed first hand how great of a photographer Yale was as he was the photographer for my cousins wedding 10 months before my wedding. We knew we needed him to do our photos. He was so fun and easy work with. He was quick to respond to any questions prior to our wedding as well. His work speaks for itself! Amazing photos. I couldn't imagine working with anyone else! I highly recommend him. Thank you Yale!

    I ended up switching photographers and going with Yale! SO GLAD I DID! He was absolutely wonderful to work with. He had good humor, very easy to chat with, and took some awesome pictures. He's unique and clearly loves what he does!! Our whole bridal party mentioned what cool pictures he took and had great ideas! My husbands belt did not fit him come time for wedding day, and he offered to give my now husband his for the pictures! I would highly recommend Yale! I can't WAIT to see our pictures!!

    I could not be more thankful for Yale than I already am. From day one, Yale made us feel so comfortable. He is super down to Earth, funny, and is always willing to take on an adventure to get a perfect photo. He did our engagement photos and our wedding photos, provided DJ services and a photo booth for our wedding! We were running so far behind on our wedding day because of hair and makeup yet he still managed to take the most beautiful photos and get everything I wanted. All of our family loved him, and so do we!! I’m honestly sad because I know he only does engagement/wedding photos and I would use him for photos over and over again if I could!! Thank you for everything, Yale. Our day was absolutely perfect and you played a huge role in that.

    Thank you so much for everything! Some weddings I wish I could relive over and over and yours would be one of them! FYI..for past clients I always do special photo sessions for :)

    He provides wonderful photography and is more than happy to use photoshop to give you pretty much whatever you want. Husband loves his Star Wars wedding photos. I was so happy with everything and my guests loved the photo booth. Such a great choice. So happy my friend found him for her wedding! So happy our paths crossed!

    Yale is nothing short of AMAZING! He was our wedding photographer and DJ. His multitasking skills are unreal! The music was perfect. No lapse in time. He captured every photo we asked for and more! The photos are unlike any wedding photos you normally see. He goes the extra mile. Even our wedding guest commented on his talent and multitasking skills. Heck, my family is still talking about him! We are simply in awe of his abilities. I am so glad we chose him to capture our memories that will stay with us for a lifetime. I highly recommend Yale! Especially if you want your wedding night to be one you and your guest will never forget.

    Use Dempag... Use him for everything! Yale did our engagement photos, our wedding photos, dj, and he was our day of coordinator. He was incredibly impressive and organized. Our pictures are amazing and the day was very smooth. Everyone had a great time! Also, his photo booth is super cool... Better than any other I've seen. You can text yourself the pictures immediately and they're great quality. Plus it's enclosed so people are more outgoing. And we got all of the copies. Yale is truly amazing. It was our best decision to use him for everything.

    Yale was ABSOLUTELY amazing for my wedding day!!!!! I would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat. He was by far one of the easiest people to work with throughout the whole process of planning. He also cared for my husband and I and treated us like royalty! Everyone of my guests LOVED the music he played and his photo booth was a hit. I cannot wait to see the pictures he took, I saw a few glimpses and they were stunning!!

    Yale was our wedding photographer and we are so pleased with every aspect of the experience. He arrived to our venue early and ready to go, he was great at getting everyone into position, and he took amazing photos! We really could not be happier with our decision to go with Dempag!

    Yale and his team were fantastic! My photo booth provider fell through four days prior to the wedding. Yale pulled through and offered us a photobooth/DJ/photography service that was phenomenal! Definitely will recommend Yale and his team.

    Yale did a fantastic job for my daughter's wedding in June 2017. He was easy to work with, had great picture poses and backdrops from within the venue we used. He was very helpful and even added some of his own lighting to enhance the reception hall and dance floor. The video that Yale made was a great highlight video. I'm hoping to more video from him for raw footage, but the highlight that was done really captured great moments from the day. I highly recommend Yale and Dempag photography!!

    Yale was outstanding! Down to earth and super friendly. Took one look at his instagram and was immediately sold! He took the time to get to know us and wasn't afraid to go above and beyond to get a great shot. His passion and creativity in his work really shows in his photos. Our friends and family are still talking about how fun his photo booth was.

    Dempag Photography & Entertainment/ Yale is very talented & kind. I have a large and opinionated family that he worked around and with very well. His pictures are out of this world too! He revitalized our reception by pulling out his sound system, since our music fell through. When we have another big life event I will be calling him to capture it! LOVE LOVE LOVE.

    By far THE BEST overall experiance we could have had! Exceeded all expectations imaginable. From the first meeting to the very last picture of the night, down to every last detail we were just left in awe. The attention to detail was spot on and the pictures were breathtaking! If you go with any other photographer or entertainment group you are sorely selling yourself short! I cannot express in enough words how pleased we were with the entire experience! Thank you so much!
