We first met Dean Standring at a wedding fair at Cranage Estate, after he’d been highly recommended by our DJ — and from that very first conversation, we instantly understood why. Dean is the ultimate professional. He has a calm, reassuring manner, a natural warmth, and an expert understanding of his craft that immediately puts you at ease. He clearly explains how he works, what sets him apart, and exactly how he will capture your day — and from that point on, you just know you’re in safe hands. Once we booked, Dean took the time to meet with us again before the big day, really getting to know us as a couple. That relationship built a huge level of trust; we both felt completely relaxed knowing he just gets it — and now that we’ve seen the final photos, we can honestly say he more than delivered. Dean invited myself and my wife, Danielle, to his editing studio to go through every photo from the day, and we were blown away. His ability to be in the right place at the right time is incredible. He captured so many beautiful, intimate, “behind-the-scenes” moments that we didn’t even know had happened. His presence with our guests, both day and night, meant he perfectly bottled the love, happiness and fun of our wedding. He worked tirelessly from early morning with the bridal party right through until late in the evening when the dance floor was in full swing. And somehow he manages this while keeping that unique blend of calm professionalism and a wicked sense of humour. So many of our guests commented on how hard he worked — but also how it felt like he was part of the wedding, not just someone taking photos. He added to the atmosphere, the energy and the memories of our day. To Dean: thank you. Thank you for your hard work, your talent, your laughter, and for giving us the most incredible collection of memories from the best day of our lives. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer — genuinely — book Dean Standring. You will not regret it. A top man, and a master of his craft.

100% recommend Dean to anyone!

He always made time for us, took our ideas on board and organised several meet ups to put us at ease. On the day, Dean was everywhere he needed to be without ever being in the way.After uploading some of our teaser shots yesterday, it's so clear he has just captured everything our day was.

Our amazing photographer Dean Standring photography was brilliant from day one of booking, making us feel like he wasn’t just any stranger sharing our special day with his friendly warm banter to his amazing photos.
