I had two photographers and they were professional, upbeat, thoughtful. I also had a videographer, who not only paid attention to detail, but gave me great advice. Dean Micheal's Studio was phenomenal! One of my bridesmaids commented that they loved that the photographers captured every detail. They took so many pictures in creative ways too. I can't wait to see the pictures! Also, before your wedding, a rep will contact you to make sure you have everything you need and give you time lines. It was super helpful that I could write questions and change times with quick replies. Book them!!!

Hiring a full-time studio with experience in portraiture, commercial, and editorial work means you get a team prepared for any situation. We bring expert lighting and posing from studio work, quick problem-solving from commercial shoots, and attention to detail from editorial coverage. This diverse background keeps us ahead of trends and ensures a smooth experience and a standout final product on your special day.

A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event that requires more than just a camera and good intentions. Professional, full-service studios bring years of experience, technical skill, and deep understanding of the flow of a wedding day. Unlike hobbyists, we know how to capture key moments without disruption, manage lighting and posing on the fly, and work smoothly with guests and vendors. Your wedding deserves the confidence and quality only a seasoned professional team can deliver.

The style is ultimately up to you, but we specialize a mix of photojournalistic, fun, and traditional photography—blended with romantic and artistic detail shots. We focus on capturing candid, natural moments to tell your story authentically, while also making time for timeless portraits. If you have any special style preferences or requests, we’re always happy to accommodate!

Our team is experienced in scouting the best locations and lighting for your wedding, often having worked at your venue before. We’ll collaborate with you to create a detailed timeline that ensures we capture stunning, dream-worthy shots without taking you away from your guests for too long. Our goal is to seamlessly document your day while minimizing any interruptions, so you can enjoy every moment with your loved ones.

The number of photographs taken at your wedding will vary depending on the flow of the day and the moments we capture. On average, we deliver between 800-1200+ photos, depending on the duration of coverage and the size of the event. We aim to capture all key moments, from candid shots to portraits, ensuring you have a complete visual story of your special day. Each photo will be thoughtfully selected, without leaving out any important moments, and edited to create the best possible collection for you.

You won't find Dean Michaels Studio on any "preferred vendors" lists because we don’t need to be. With over 40 years in the business, we’ve never paid for a recommendation. We believe engaged couples deserve honest referrals, and if we were recommended to you, it’s because of our reputation for superior quality and exceptional service. Our attention to detail, respect for our couples, and professionalism with other vendors have earned us the trust we hold today. Every referral is based on our commitment to excellence, not incentives.
