About

Welcome to the fun and exciting world of Dempag!

You’ve started your journey into planning a wedding. Take a breath and hold on as the amount of vendors and information you will come across is practically endless. I honestly have no idea how couples choose who to work with as there are so many very talented individuals out there to pick from. But I will say this…taking great photos really is the easiest part of the day. Whether setting up scenes, capturing the moment, arranging families, chasing sunsets…those things are easy as any worthy pro knows how to do that.

So, what makes Dempag different? Well for one, we are typically putting your entire day together. Starting with photos and/or video, music for the ceremony, and helping create a reception so awesome that your guests leave at the end going, “Wow! Now that was FUN!”

You see, Dempag was first started as a DJ company long ago but then one day (15 years ago), I started taking photos and fell in love with creating images that told such fascinating stories and were timeless pieces of art that couples could cherish forever.

Today Dempag is all about creating weddings that are just not the same as your typical wedding. My experience is so vast that I can spot a problem and fix it before it happens. Things run late, someone got drunk, families are scattered…so many things can happen when you bring everyone together for a wedding and it takes someone who you trust to have your back at all times.

Prior to the wedding, we go over every detail. Photography timeline, important photos you want done, who is in family photos (yes, we go through this as most family doesn’t really like photo time so we stay very efficient and get through it quickly so that everyone can get back to the fun). We go through all music, songs you like, songs you hate and don’t want played and the “feel” you want for your reception. Nothing is left out.

Don’t let the stress of wedding planning overwhelm you. I am always available for my clients and a wealth of information when it comes to weddings. Ask any questions you have.

Photography, Video, DJ, Photo Booths, we take care of it all.

Talk with you soon!

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!

Hi Everyone! I love weddings, everything about them. The laughter, tears, joy, drama even the chaos at times. No two weddings are the same and I love shaping and guiding the day to make sure everyone has an amazing experience.

When I'm not hanging from cliffs or sitting in a creek to get that perfect photo I'm STILL spending my time hanging (or jumping) from cliffs and in the water having fun. I travel every chance I can get and love meeting new people and exploring every part of the world.

Life is a journey meant to be lived with passion and it's that passion that I put into every single wedding.
