Dean Michaels Studio

I couldn't be more excited to review Dean Michaels Studios. From the moment we called to make an appointment to see their work and talk pricing with Nichola (who I just love emailing and calling still months after our wedding!), I felt comfortable and confident that we are meeting with the best! The entire staff is wonderful, from our photographers (Christine & Rich) to our videographer (Ivan). Their work speaks for itself. But their professionalism, commitment, and passion for what they do shines through. They work with you to make you, the bride/groom, happy, relaxed and comfortable. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend them to anyone!

You guys are the best!! From my initial consultation at the studio to my wedding day my whole experience with you was absolutely wonderful. Rich and Maggie were at my house before I was the day of the wedding (I was running late due to hair and makeup) taking pictures of my dress they took their time and got all the right shots. They were professional and courteous- and were with me from before my wedding til the last song played at my reception. I used them for my engagement and wedding photos and I will surely use them again and will be recommending you guys to all my friends and family needing photographers!! Thank you Dean, Rich and Maggie for making our day so memorable!!! I could never thank you enough for my stunning wedding pictures!!!

Dean is the MAN! Our pictures are amazing! Talk about a guy who loves what he does and exceeds everyones expectations. I cant even begin to describe how beautiful our pictures came out. He made me look and feel like a princess. He was EARLY the day of the wedding along with the second photographer and as soon as he came in he was all business but his fun and wonderful self. He makes you so at ease when he takes your picture and really makes sure he gets every single moment captured. Dean has put a couple of our pictures on his professional website and i have to tell you i am honored that i am able to be apart of that. we were also fortunate enough to have him do our engagement photoshoot also on his weeding wire portfolio and people are amazed at them. They swear they should be in a magazine by the detail and craftsmanship dean put into them. He stayed until the end of the wedding right until the very last person left. If you want a photorapher that is on time, fun, professional, blends in with the crowd, does amazing work, and have pictures that people will talk about for year apon years to come, dean is the guy you want!!!!!!!!!!! He will forever be taking my family pictures for years to come! Also deans support staff is amazing as well. I am in the process of picking out proofs and thank you cards and my book and they have been nothing but nice and helping me along the way in the process. I couldnt have been happier with my decision on this company they truly are the best of the best in...

Dean Michaels Studio is absolutely phenomenal. No matter when I call or who I speak with, everyone is always great. Dean shot my wedding, along with another photographer, and videographer, who were both great as well! After being extremely late to my church, my only sanity was through Dean. He was absolutely fantastic, and I couldn't have imagined anyone else shooting my wedding. He is so passionate about his job, that it shows through his great work. I had numerous wedding guests not only come up to me at the end of my reception, but call me days after to comment as to how great our photographer was. Dean is genuine and true to what he says!

We used Dean for our wedding... AMAZING Photographer!!!! Loved our pictures!

Dean Michaels Studio makes beautiful designs for albums and DVDs! Their staff is so helpful and makes the process of choosing photos for albums very easy. The wedding pictures and the album design are amazing and creative. Our wedding DVD is a gorgeous, emotional portrayal of our wedding day. It helps us relive our special day and all the little moments we might have missed! I would definitely recommend this venue to any bride!

My husband and I used Dean Michaels for our wedding day and we could not be happier. We were very picky about finding the perfect photographer and I highly recommend them. Rich Penrose was our photographer. He was so nice, funny, flexible and he captured amazing engagement and wedding day shots. Our wedding pictures are so unique and beautiful (even for a rainy day!). Everyone comments how amazing everything came out. Trust me and book them for your wedding because you will not be dissapointed!!!

As soon as we met our photographer, I knew we had made a good choice. They were very easy to work with and answered all of the questions that we had. Our photographer Rich was great to work with. He was very friendly and took a lot of really great pictures. After all of our posed pictures were done we didn't even realize he was there. We received our proofs and thank you cards very soon after the wedding as well, which was great.

Our online picutures turned out amazing. We are so happy with the way the photographer and videographer worked out! Laura, Photographer, was awesome! She was everywhere, getting every shot. Everyone at the studio has been very attentive and easy to work with. We would absolutely recommend Dean Michaels Studio!

We could not be happier with the way our pictures came out. Dean did such a beautiful job with both our wedding and engagement photos. We had a guest book made with our engagement photos and it was one our favorite things we did for wedding. We can't wait for our wedding album!

Dean Michael's Studio did a fantastic job for our wedding. Rich was our main photographer and he was personable and reliable. As soon as we set up our appointment for our engagement session he was available to answer any questions or texts. He was just as responsive leading up to our wedding. The day of the wedding he was professional and kind. Jay was our second photographer and he did a great job as well. Our pictures turned out great! We can't wait to set up our album. We also used Dean Michael's for our videography. Kurt was our videographer and he was just as cooperative and professional. Overall we are very pleased. - Danielle and Chuck

My husband and I used Dean Michaels Studio for both a "location" engagement photo session and wedding photography. Basically, I wanted a top quality studio that focused on capturing detail and beauty in a unique way. Rich and Dean were our main guys for the wedding day and both my family and I were truly impressed with their professionalism, creativity, and fabulous personalities! They were not intrusive, nor bossy. Rich and Dean "went with the flow" as much as possible, yet still had a "set plan" in mind for the wedding day. There were flurries, sleet, rain, and 35 degree temperatures on my wedding day. You would think this would hold them back? Not a chance!! Where I was leary and ready to cancel the outdoor pictures, Rich and Dean assured me that they would capture the beauty of the day in a clever way. Cold didn't stop them- handwarmers and all- they were prepared!! When I viewed the proofs online only a WEEK after the wedding date, I was blown away! Dean and Rich got so many beautiful shots in my home and at the church and reception. There was such a variety of structured and unstructured photos. From the way they captured my gown or my husband and his groomsmen, to the marble church, or the snow covered roads-- everything looked stunning! After ordering a few photos to sample the different options such as color, black/white, and sepia, I was again so incredibly pleased with the quality of the portrait itself!! I should note that the engagement photos were transferred into a "guest signing book." These photos were really magnificent. Top quality all around! I look forward to receiving my wedding albums. Please don't hesitate to use this wonderful business establishment for you photo and video services! All of the money you put forward is totally worth it! There are a few different package options for both photography and videography. All staff members were a pleasure to work with, were very accomodating, and worked to get orders processed in an efficient manner! I am truly so happy with Dean Michaels photography and videography!

What an amazing photographer and great man Dean Michaels is. From the first meeting my husband wanted to book him. He is so personable, friendly and flexible, and his work is beautiful! Our first experience was our engagement photos where he met us and spent almost three hours taking us to different locations, and capturing breathtaking photos. Once I saw these pictures I was convinced that I made a great decision. At the wedding he was so wonderful and patient, making sure he always got the perfect shot. Our wedding photos are amazing, the only problem is that there are just too many to choose from. Dean Michaels' experience, professionalism, and kindness makes him one of the best wedding photographers around. Thank you Dean Michaels Studios for going above and beyond our expectations and capturing our wedding day memories is such a magnificant way that we will have forever!

Yes, you get what you pay for. Dean Michaels is not cheap, is not flexible on price, but you get the BEST. Our two photographers, Kaysee and Dean, were wonderful. They were calm, friendly, and helpful the entire day. I never felt like they were intrusive, they got all the pictures we wanted without cutting into our party time. We had told Kaysee we wanted to split the formal pics so we didn't miss the whole cocktail hour, and she worked it out perfectly ---- we did half after the ceremony and half during the salad course. We didn't miss the cocktail hour! They stayed the whole night, snapping candid pics right up until the end. Kaysee even checked with me towards the end of the night, did a quick run-through of the "must have pics" list I had given her, and made sure she didn't leave anything out. Very highly recommended!!!

My husband and I used Dean for our wedding last year. Dean is amazing at what he does and he knows to have fun along the way-we laughed the entire time! We had such a great time working with Dean and his crew. They made us feel like we were superstars for the day! Our pictures came out so beautiful and our wedding video was amazing. I would absolutely recommend Dean to anyone and everyone. You will not be disappointed-PROMISE!! Dean Michaels Studio was able to capture the all of the best parts of our day so that we will remember them for years to come. Thanks Dean!!!

Dean Michael's studio did an amazing job with our wedding photos. They were so friendly, but professional. they really know what they are doing! Our photographer helped us pick a beautiful place for our engagement photos and get every shot possible on the wedding day. I cant wait for another event where i will need a photographer, because I know who i will be calling!!!

My husband and I used Dean Michael Studios for our wedding photography and they did an absolute wonderful job! I had changed the timeline of our wedding day a million times and they were so accomodating and Dean was able to give us advice on the best way to work our picture taking into the day. Dean and Jay Li were absolutely fabulous and really captured the essence of the day. The artistry and professionalism they put towards it was like no one else and I would recommend them any day!! All our friends and family can't stop talking about how beautiful our pictures came. Thank you to Dean, Jay and the Dean Michael's team for a memorable experience! Maria & Chris Concerto

Excellent! Dean Michaels Studio was the perfect photography/videography studio to capture our most special day. The staff was very helpful and made sure all our needs were met -- from developing the contract right through to helping me select images for my wedding album. The photographers and videographer worked incredibly hard to capture all the details of our wedding day -- all while being unobtrusive, fun and creative. I was thrilled with the photos, love our video and can't wait to see our wedding album! Top quality!

Request Dean (the owner) if you can! He really gets into the event and is a great personality to have around for the day!

I can't begin to say enough good things about Dean Michaels Studio! From start to finish, they were so helpful and professional. Our photographer (Rich) was the best! He was so much fun and put me, and everyone else he photographed, at ease. Our pictures were all so amazing that it was actually hard to narrow them down to which ones we wanted in our album (great problem to have). Dean Michaels was the perfect choice to capture one of the most special days of our lives...and thanks to them everytime we look at our pictures and album it brings back all the wonderful memories of our big day!
