"We had the pleasure of the Deans doing our engagement photos, and we loved them so much that we had to bring them to Costa Rica for our wedding! Not only are the Deans amazing at what they do, but they are amazing people as well. They truly strive to capture exactly the vibe/look you are wanting for your big day - and man, do they deliver! They were extremely attentive throughout the entire process. From our engagement photos, to our getting ready photos, the wedding ceremony, and even at the reception/party, they captured every special moment & made us feel at ease. We seriously can’t recommend them enough, we’d book them time and time again. They’re just that great!"

"We were a little nervous going into our engagement shoot, but Lauren immediately put us at ease with her warmth and kindness. She gave us gentle direction while letting us be ourselves, and the photos she captured are more than we ever hoped for: natural, timeless, and full of love. The entire experience felt magical—a chance to just slow down, be present, and enjoy each other. We had our sneak peaks delivered the day after our shoot and our full gallery delivered in less than 2 weeks! We’re beyond thrilled to have The Deans Photo as our wedding photographers! 10/10 recommend for any occasion—or no occasion at all! Just book the shoot and make memories that will last forever.."

"Lauren and Cheyne were incredibly friendly and professional, we trusted them 100% with the process and they went above and beyond expectations. They have an great eye and we were blown away with the result. At the same time, they left room for us to be ourselves and directed us when we needed their guidance. We felt comfortable being ourselves around them and would recommend them to anybody. Thank you for making our day so special!"
Kind words
"I cannot say enough great things about Cheyne and Lauren and our experience with them. They took our ideas and branched off to create a beautiful scene, and coached us through the entire process to make us amateurs feel like professional models, and left us with such a beautiful gallery that we only want more. Every aspect of shooting with the Dean’s was a dream and we could be more thankful for the moment in time they captured!"

"We have worked with Lauren and Cheyne many times throughout different seasons in our lives, and without fail, they ALWAYS deliver. And they don’t just deliver as incredible photographers, but as genuine humans. Lauren and Cheyne have a way of making you feel at ease during a shoot - they are really two of the kindest people I’ve yet to meet. They truly capture those sweet, sincere, in-between moments that would otherwise be lost - the real “framers” as some would say. They pour their heart and soul into their craft, and I’m so grateful for every session we’ve done with them - photos we will cherish for a lifetime!"

We absolutely LOVED how the pictures turned out and they truly captured the style we hoped for! I definitely recommend them, you won’t regret it!!!"

What lights me up most?
Capturing the honest, in-between stuff—the real smiles, quiet tears, wind-blown hair, and the way your person looks at you when you’re not looking.
When I’m not photographing love stories or editing with a coffee in hand, you’ll find me dreaming up new ideas, planning our next adventure, or soaking up the Florida sunshine with my favorite guys (my hubs and son).
Creative heart. Detail lover. Your biggest hype girl behind the camera.
I’m the voice behind our brand, the one who answers your emails, curates your galleries, and gets way too excited about golden hour light and flowing dresses on the beach.

Creative eye. Big energy. Always chasing the next great shot (and cracking a good dad joke along the way).
I’m all about capturing connection on your wedding day—those candid, blink-and-you-miss-it moments that tell your story better than words ever could.
Working with Lauren is my favorite thing—we complement each other perfectly. She brings calm clarity and a creative sensitivity that grounds our work, while I bring the big-picture thinking and a fast-paced love for chasing light and real emotion.
When I’m not behind the camera, I’m probably chasing our son around on the beach or blasting music with the windows down.

Fun facts about us:
Our story started with tacos, margaritas, and Red Hot Chili Peppers on repeat—clearly, we knew how to kick things off right.
We’re big fans of slow mornings with coffee and exploring new places together.
Cheyne proposed during a hike in Asheville, NC in March 2020, and we tied the knot on October 1st, 2021 in Lake Nona, FL—truly one of the best days of our lives.
Now, our greatest adventure is being parents to our amazing son. He’s the heartbeat of our world… and yeah, he’s pretty cool.
