Glasshaus Inside Wedding - Paul & Alex 01.10.2022
“We can’t thank you enough for capturing our wedding so beautifully. We’re thrilled with the photos, and I know we’ll be looking back on them fondly for years to come.
Also, thank you for being an awesome human. You were incredibly accommodating through three reschedules, and on the day we really felt like you were a natural part of our little crew. (Not to mention you absolutely saved us with the button-hole floral tips!)”
- Paul & Alex
“Despite being behind the lens, his passion, depth and true character are profoundly reflected in every single capture he takes.
From the moment he arrived to the time he left, Dean did not stop working. Yet he didn't rush, he maintained focus and juggled all the right photo opportunities throughout the day with ease. He was great with the young and old - our guests absolutely loved him.”
- Kes & Brett
“Combined with his skill and unbelievable artistic flare, our photos were impactful and stunning yet candid, raw and natural. Instead of being posed, Dean focused on capturing the moment and emotions as it truly was. After receiving our photos we felt nothing more than awe with every shot.”

"Dean is not only talented, but such a beautiful human being. His love for people and nature really shows in all his work and makes those images extra special. He has a real gift in being able to capture the most beautiful moments. We can’t stop looking at our wedding photos and have too many favourites to choose from!
Dean has such a friendly and warm character and is so easy to work with from start to finish. I could not recommend him more"
