Michael Dempsey and his team were so professional, fun energy on our big day, and made all the photo taking seem easy and enjoyable.

We got married at the Lodge at the Stone House and he knew all the best spots to get great shots while keeping us on schedule and moving along. The photos I received exceeded my expectations and my family and bridesmaids all commented on how great the photos came out! They were classic (and some more modern style) and very tasteful and we got some really beautiful portraits of the bride and groom and our dogs (some in color, some in black and white) printed to showcase in our home!

Stunning photos!

Highly recommend Michael for photography and videography! My husband and I hired Michael for our wedding at Stone House at Stirling Ridge in April 2023. We were impressed with his work and grateful he also offer videographer services. He was very familiar with our venue and luckily also knew our hotel nearby. Since it poured on our wedding day, we had to change the location of our first look and family photos. He was flexible with the change in plans and had a great back-up plan. The days leading up to the wedding, he communicated his back up plan and he knew all the spots in the hotel to get the best shots. He was consistently organized, calm, professional and communicative. His videographer was also friendly, calm, and professional. Our pictures truly came out stunning and we can’t stop looking at them! Thank you Michael!!

The most stunning pictures!!

Michael was the best wedding photographer we could have asked for! He captured every single detail - including small things like our napkins and drink signs! Our portraits came out absolutely stunning, as the cherry blossoms were in full bloom in Spring Lake! He made sure to check off every photo that we had requested ahead of time, and we still had the whole night to enjoy the reception! The candid dance floor shots were some of my favorites! I highly recommend!
