    Amazing company, amazing people, amazing photographers

    Do not hesitate to book with Dean Michaels Studio. They truly take pride in their work and will always make the customer happy. We booked Dean Michaels 2 years out from our wedding and we are so pleased that we did. Chrissy was wonderful. She responded to every email in a very timely manner. She was attentive to our needs, wants, and concerns and made us feel so comfortable. Our pictures came out BEAUTIFUL. Thank your Laura and Ben for an amazing day and for being part of the best day of our lives. You captured so many beautiful moments that we are so appreciative of. Again, you will not be disappointed booking Dean Michaels Studio.

    Dean Michals Studio is AWESOME

    Dean Michaels Studio was such a pleasure to work with from the planning process, to the day of the wedding, and even at the end when everything was said and done. Our photographers and videographer were so professional and so much fun to work with! They provided their expertise when we were trying to figure out what shots we wanted, while also giving us the freedom to choose what we wanted. If there were photos we wanted to add, they gladly helped us complete our vision and truly made our day special!

    Dean Michaels Studio's reply:

    Marisa & Kyle, you are AWESOME. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your positive feedback! It was our honor to cover you beautiful wedding day.

    Beautiful photos and so easy to work with

    We booked with Dean Michael’s for our wedding next month and also used them for our engagement photos. We couldn’t be happier with how our photos turned out. We were able to include our dog which was really special for us. Rich was so great!! Chrissy was also so wonderful in answering questions and helping us get everything booked and confirmed.

    Hi Danielle,

    We are so happy to hear that you had a wonderful engagement session! Your photos are beautiful and we look forward to your special day!

    Wedding photos and video

    choosing a photographer and videograher was one of the harder decisions in wedding planning. there are so many bug photography businesses out there that offer large packages for cheap prices and giving low quality products from. sending out freelancers that are not part of their company. it took a bit of time to look at reviews of local business in New jersey to find Dean Micheals Studio. after reading the reviews, I booked an appointment with them. I talked to one of the owners. she and her husband took over the husband's dads business which has been around for 35 years. many of the employees have been there for many years. Just that, made me comfortable in booking with them. another thing that I loved was that they provided photography and videography. I wanted to book both packages from the same place to provide a good team and workmanship in guiding me and my husband through our photos. I was able to book them for 6 hours as I didn't need the traditional 8+ hour packages since I got my hair and makeup done at a bridal salon. The pictures and videos were amazing. I tear up at watching the videos. I recommend anyone getting married or having a event to book Dean Micheals Studio

    Dean Michaels Studio's reply:

    Hi thank you SO much for the positive feedback!!! This truly helps us keep doing what we love the most. It's couples like you who have faith and trust in us that keep us going! It means the world to us that you trusted us and had an amazing experience with us. We hope you keep in touch!

    Amazing Team

    We began our experience with Dean Michaels Studio (DMS) for our engagement photoshoot. We were paired with Laura who we really meshed well with. We really enjoyed her methods of shooting in a way that felt more natural and candid. Our photos came out great! When it came time for our wedding, she called us a couple of days before then and we knew she had our best interests in mind as she listened to everything we were looking for during our day. As everyone already told us, our wedding day went by so quickly! It felt like the day flashed by in the blink of an eye! We were so anxious to be able to see our photos to even help us remember parts of the day that flew by so quick! Our sneak peek came back within a few days and they chose some really beautiful shots which were edited beautifully! But it wasn’t until we got to see our highlight video that we really came to appreciate the work of DMS. We could not stop watching this heartfelt video. They really captured our day so well. We must have watched out video at least 5 times that day each (and cried every single time). We are so happy with our decision to go with DMS. Our photos and videos are so great! You are in amazing hands with DMS!

    Dean Michaels Studio's reply:

    Hi Tiffany! It's been an absolute pleasure helping you and your fiancé through the wedding planning process. We are so happy that you had an amazing experience with us from the beginning to the end. Your wedding photos and videos are beautiful and we are so happy that you love them! These are wonderful memories that you and your families will cherish forever. Please keep in touch! We look forward to making more memories with you guys.

    Excellent Quality, Wonderful Experience

    We used Dean Michaels Studio for our November engagement session. Not only were they incredibly professional throughout the process, but they also made it a wonderful experience. Our photographer, Rich, did a phenomenal job capturing every moment, and the final products are high quality and beautiful. Furthermore, we received our photos within the projected timeline. In addition to high quality photos, Dean Michaels Studio has maintained consistent communication with us, answering all our questions in a timely manner. We highly recommend using Dean Michaels Studio!

    If you want THE BEST photos and experience hire them!!

    We are beyond thrilled with how our wedding photos have turned out from Dean Michaels Studios. We didn’t give too much guidance but Rich was able to capture such a beautiful snapshot of our entire day. I corresponded with Chrissy throughout the planning process and she was very friendly, responsive and helpful in immediately answering all of our questions. Our photographer Rich was also very accommodating and called me to discuss the timeline prior to the day and answered all questions I had. On the day of, we met Rich for our first look at another location (Verona Park) before heading to the venue for the rest of the pictures. He was nothing short of amazing all throughout the day and night and made sure we had taken all the pictures we wanted prior to leaving. We have hundreds of absolutely stunning photos now thanks to him and his incredible work. So many in fact that it’s hard to narrow down which ones to pick for prints and include in an album.

    I also am very impressed with the prompt turn around time for ordering products, specifically our thank you cards.The designer Alec had our proofs back the next day and made the revisions I asked for very quickly too. Within just a few days we already have our thank you cards-Fantastic service and quality! Please do yourself a favor and hire Dean Michaels Studios for your special event-You will be so happy you did!

    Engagement Photos

    We are in the process of using Dean Michaels for our wedding photography & video, and so far we only have wonderful things to say about them!

    Must hire!

    Reena the photographer was for the brides phenomenal. She was such an easy breeze to work with. Made sure she got every photo I requested by calling me the night before. Alec, the photographer worked with me to make sure I had the absolutely best version of my video that I wanted no hesitation. The biggest thing for me is how nice they are easy to work with and the turnaround time. They had my photos or videos back to me within two weeks after my wedding I could not believe it. Highly recommend them.

    Love Dean Michaels Studio

    My husband and I were extremely pleased with Dean Michaels Studio. The photographers Laura and Rich were awesome and we couldn't have asked for better ones the day of. We spoke to Laura a few days prior to the big day and gave her a list of exactly all the shots we wanted and she delivered. Both her and Rich had great energy to be around and work with. They (along with Alex the videographer who was great as well) kept everything moving along without rushing us - they all hustled!! It never felt like they were in the way with any equipment taking away from any special moments. They helped capture our vision and were very easy to work with. The final product came out incredible - we love how having both Laura and Rich there provided different perspectives of the same shot. The video footage came out great. Overall we are very happy and would recommend them to anyone.

    Amazing Experience

    We used Dean Michaels for our wedding on May 15, 2022. They were easy to deal with from start to finish, making it one less worry during wedding planning. The day of, we had photographers Reena and Ben who were amazing. Reena was not only an amazing photographer, but she ran the day as if she was wedding planner, which I truly appreciated. Our pictures came out great! We are so happy with our choice of Dean Michaels.

    Amazing photos and video

    Dean Michaels Studio did an amazing job capturing our wedding in May. Chrissy was great to work with on the planning and their photographers and videographer were so creative in commemorating our special day. When we received all the media, we couldn’t stop watching the video and reliving the all the special moments with the stills. We would highly recommend them and also can’t wait to put our album together.

    Attention to Details!

    Alec was simply amazing! He had such a vision, and he just focused and did his thing! His creativity, and his attention to details only makes me want to see my videos that much more! I am sure he captured everything and then some! I highly recommend!!!

    Outstanding!

    I cannot recommend this studio enough! We had rich for our photographer for our micro wedding and OMG he is AMAZING! So easy to work with, very talented and put my vision to life. As if trying to get married during a pandemic isn't enough, dealing with predicted terrible weather we had in the forecast, rich was able to adjust his schedule to make sure he can be there for the following day. We cannot thank Rich & Dean Michaels enough for being the easiest venders around. Can't wait until next year, for the "bigger" day!!!
