    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!

    Amazing!!!

    I can't even tell you how amazing Yale was to work with! Not only was he so easy to communicate my wants and needs to, he blew my expectations out of the water with his creativity and vision. He is such an amazing person in himself but his team was also amazing! He made my wedding day so much more amazing with his photography, photo booth, and DJ amazingness!!!!! I would recommend him and his team to anyone I come in contact with. I had no idea what was going to come out of the photos. But, was so taken back by the artistry of his expertise. When I got my photos back my husband and I could not pick just one photo that was our favorite because he produced so many amazing memorable moments in his pictures that were so amazing! He has such amazing vision and will help you with anything you are questioning! He has such great experience and will tell you what works best and what doesnt if you are unaware. And will tell you if what your thinking might not be the best and has reasoning behind it. 10 out of 10 recommend!!!!

    You won't be disappointed!!

    Yale is AMAZING! Between him and his son, they made our day so special! They fit right in with our guests, talked football like we knew them for years! He made our day and everything leading up to it so smooth. He kept coming up with new ideas to try and get the perfect shot. I wish I had a favorite picture but in all honesty I can't find just one. Yale was able to get my husband and I both out of our shells and the pictures are PERFECT!! Not only did we use Dempag for our photos, but we also had him for our engagement shoot, videography, ceremony sound, DJ, and Photo Booth. Everything he did, just turned out so great!

    He makes everything so fun but also takes his work seriously which provides some of the best outcomes I've seen! I recommend him to everyone who asks, along with sharing any and all work of his I can!

    If you're looking for the best, Yale is the one!

    Yale was a dream to work with, he was able to make the day run smoothly while making sure all my must haves were captured. While Yale may seem like just an average wedding photographer, his love for what he does shines though his work and the way he works with people. I have a split family, divorced parents and family who arent on great terms, and made it a point to get to know the "isms" to make sure things flowed smoothly! We also had the Dempag team DJ our reception and it was a huge hit, with multiple age groups to appeal to, the dance floor always had someone on it. It was a blast seeing my great aunts on the dance floor having a blast!! I have suggested Yale to all of my engaged friends, if you are in need of man who can do it all Yale is the one for you. I couldn't begin to thank him for the role he played in making my wedding the best day.

    Amazing from start to finish!

    Absolutely amazing! We felt so comfortable and relaxed from beginning to end. Our engagement photos and day of photos were simply stunning. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer!

    Beyond Pleased

    Demag was better than imagined. I saw many pictures and liked the style but was still blown away by every picture we received. We did engagement pictures and had 10 hours of wedding day coverage. We also used them as our DJ and the dance floor was full all night. Everyone had a blast.

    Professional AND fun photographer

    Working with Yale was so easy. He is professional and his experience shows. The pictures are all absolutely gorgeous! His eye for finding the perfect composition combined with putting you at ease in front of the camera is a hard set of skills to find! We were beyond happy with our photos and so thankful that we had Yale to capture our special day. ❤️

    Great affordable photographer

    Yale was fantastic! He is an affordable photographer who definitely delivers great photos! We had our wedding in Stillwater during Harvest Fest, which means there were a lot of people around. He didn't have any problems with it - we got all our pictures outdoors, and he was able to avoid people (or ask them to wait) so he could snap the photo. The outcome was fantastic - we love our pictures. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

    Outstanding Quality & Creativity

    Yale was such an incredible choice for our wedding. He was so personable and kind. He listened intently to all of our requests and did a fantastic job in the delivery. We had quite the alternative music selection and he did wonderfully managing the unfamiliar tunes. His creativity and personal touch to the experience made our big day one to remember forever. He really helped make our wedding special. We are so pleased with Dempag and would highly recommend their services for any important event.

    Dempag made our wedding day perfect!

    I can not say enough about Dempag Photography & Entertainment. We did the full package that included photo, video, and DJ. Our engagement photos were amazing and our wedding photos were even more incredible! Our wedding day went by so fast, and I am so happy that we can go back and watch the video from that day! It brings us both back to that day like it was yesterday and all the amazing feelings rush right back. Do not do your day without the video! The photo booth was a huge hit, and we laugh every time we look at the pictures. Everyone raved about how fun the night was, and how great the music and entertainment was! The dance floor was busy all night long! Yale went above and beyond our expectations and made our night perfect! You definitely need to hire him for your wedding!

    Dempag Photography and Entertainment

    Dempag Photography & Entertainment helped make our wedding day the best day of our lives! If you want to have a fun wedding - hire Dempag! Yale likes to have fun and his pictures show it! He truly captures you in your natural element and helps keep the party alive! On top of it, he is so responsive and easy to communicate with which takes off so much stress on the bride and groom. I was so nervous that we would fall behind schedule but Yale was so efficient and made sure he captured everything we asked. We had a party bus after our ceremony to our reception that he hopped on too and I'm so glad he did because he got such fun pictures from it! We had so many compliments on his entertainment services too. At our reception we did something he calls a photo dash where the bride and groom have one song to run to every table and get a picture with everyone and literally so many people told us how cool that was AND we got a picture with everyone! Yale was a blast to work with and we are so happy we chose him!

    The best Photographer and DJ!

    Yale and his team were the best! They made everything so much easier from the beginning to the end! We bought the package that included a photographer, DJ, and photobooth! We also bought a package for the ceremony music. Dempag is one of the most reasonable vendors, but with top-notch services! Our pictures turned out amazing! Thank you, Yale and his team!!!

    Picture Perfect Company

    I simply can't say enough good things about Yale! My husband and I made the difficult decision to postpone our larger wedding due to COVID but still wanted to tie the knot in a smaller ceremony with just the two of us. We were looking at scenic places in/near Duluth, MN where we could capture some great shots and knew we needed a phenomenal photographer to capture the day. We stumbled across Yale's page and fell in love with his photos and artistic style - he ended up being everything we could have wanted in a photographer and more! He was extremely prompt with communication and chatted with us prior to the big day to get an idea of what we were looking for and how we wanted the day to go. We ended up traveling the Lake Superior shoreline in his party bus, stopping to take photos in various locations. He was always open to our ideas and even had some crazy ones of his own - including standing on cliffs and braving the frigid Lake Superior water with us to get the perfect shot. His attention to detail coupled with his easygoing personality made for an amazing day that we will always remember with photos we will cherish for a lifetime. While it wasn't what we had originally planned, Yale made our day everything we could have dreamed of and more. If I could book him again for our postponed wedding, I'd do it in a heartbeat!

    Great quality & price!

    Yale and his team made planning our wedding reception easy. Instead of having to hire separate photographers, MC, and DJ, we only had to coordinate with Yale and we knew we were in good hands. The photos we have seen so far turned out amazing and were a perfect mix of staged and candid.

    Absolutely Amazing!

    Yale is AMAZING! He did our engagement photos and our wedding reception photos and I cannot stop looking at them. He captured US perfectly! We also used Dempag at our reception (DJ & photo booth) and Yale kept the dance floor popping! The photo booth was a hit, too! I HIGHLY recommend Dempag!

    Dempag came through despite a Texas blizzard!

    Yale was amazing! He braved winter storm conditions in Texas to capture our daughter's special day! His professionalism was outstanding and we highly recommend Dempag to anyone looking for a videographer or photographer for their event!

    Best guy ever

    Yale is so much fun! He did our engagement pictures and both of our weddings (12.19.20 and 12.18.21) due to covid changes. Each time he has taken pictures he made Darby and I feel more relaxed and the pictures turned out amazing (and my husband does not like to smile)! When he has an idea, roll with it because it's going to be cool and you will have an amazing picture to brag with to your friends and keep the special memories from that day. He was so understanding when we decided to postpone the full wedding and just did a small backyard wedding the first time and worked with us to make sure it was easy, and as a bride who had to plan MULTIPLE variations of BOTH weddings, Yale was the ONLY one who made it easier for me. Quick to reply, willing to be flexible, working with the times, on top of the easy going personality it made a world of difference. For the second wedding Yale was also our DJ on top of photographer, and still setting up a photo booth (highly recommend, these pictures are so funny and sweet). At dinner, he really got the guests into it and was playing games with the group, he is a natural people person and EVERYONE loved him, and my family is not easy to please. I cannot express what a positive impact he had on all of our days from start to finish, and should we ever renew our vows, we know who we are calling. If you want great pictures you will love forever, call Yale. If you want someone to to make sure the wedding flows well between ceremony dinner and dancing, call Yale. If you want someone to be a great DJ who really reads the needs of the crowd, call Yale. You will be so happy that you did! I cannot thank him enough for all that he did and making our special days the best memories of our lives.

    I am thankful I found Dempag

    Because of Dempag's amazing prices, we were able to afford photography, lighting, a photo booth, and a DJ. With all of the other photographers I was interested in, I wouldn't have been able to get anything but them. The two photographers at our wedding were really wonderful. My husband and I are very awkward in front of a camera but they made us feel so comfortable and I am so excited for our photos to come back! Yale's photo editing is different than all of the other photographers too. When trying to find a photographer, I felt like they all looked the same. But his editing is artistic and I can't wait to decorate our house with stunning photos. The DJ was also pretty impressive. Our group of people weren't dancers, but he managed to get everyone out on the dance floor at least once!

    Answer to prayers

    We had hired a different photography company for engagement/wedding photos, but they fell through. My now-husband and I were left without a photographer for our wedding, not to mention engagement, less than 2 months before our wedding! My family found Dempag last-minute on WeddingWire. Yale understood our situation and scheduled us for an engagement session immediately. Our session was wonderful!! We had so much fun and we were so comfortable, I was surprised! We normally don't like being in front of a camera. We got the pictures back quickly and I was overjoyed. They are absolutely beautiful and captured "us" and the love and fun we had had. Then the wedding.....oh my gosh, our day was perfect and Yale captured every perfect moment!! I am so so grateful to have all those beautiful memories captured! My family looked at the photos and they commented that they hadn't even noticed Yale moving around so quickly. My friends have already said they plan to hire Dempag for their weddings :)
