Deirdre Alston Photography -

Deirdre was a fantastic and magical wedding photographer. Her photography style is so ethereal and natural, and every photo feels like a dream. Her editing is stunning, her turnaround time was super fast, and she was so generous with the final gallery. She's a 10/10.

On the day of our wedding, Deirdre was like a fly on the wall letting us navigate the experience of the day privately, but she also stepped in when we needed her, from helping me bustle my dress to guiding us through private, intimate shots that felt so natural and special. I was so worried about having our first look and vow reading have others around, but it was truly like nobody else was there. Even during my “ugly cry” moments reading my vows, she somehow found the best angles that make it look like I didn't shed a tear. Not sure how she navigated that one, but it's incredible.

She truly went with the flow even as our schedule shifted and little unexpected things happened. She stayed calm, cool, and collected. We couldn't be happier with our photos and the experience of working with Deirdre and would recommend her 100x over.

Deirdre was truly the best photographer we could have asked for for both our engagement photos and wedding day. She easily made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, helping my partner and I feel like our selves. Deirdre has a documentary style photography, which was exactly what we were looking for. She captured our wedding day just as it happened and we will cherish those memories forever. Not to mention she traveled across the country for us during a hurricane! We couldn’t recommend Deirdre more for her quality of work and professionalism.

My husband and I can’t recommend Deirdre enough. Besides being such a talented artist and photographer, she is one of the kindest people you will ever meet. Deirdre made our engagement shoot feel so relaxed and fun, and we immediately knew we had made the right choice. She truly captured the magic of our wedding day, and as someone who spent painstakingly long hours planning every detail, it felt incredibly rewarding to see the vision come alive in her photos. We cannot wait to work with her again!

Words can’t even express just how incredible Deirdre is as both a person and a wedding photographer. She exudes professionalism and creativity every step of the way, and her ability to capture the most genuine moments left me with the wedding photos of my dreams. Deirdre’s dedication and talent truly made our special day even more magical, and I will forever cherish the memories she beautifully captured. Both my husband and I were nervous about our lack of experience with professional photography, but Deirdre quickly put us at ease. From our engagement session to our wedding day, she made us feel comfortable and relaxed. Her warm and friendly demeanor truly made the experience unforgettable and enjoyable. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone in search of a skilled and passionate photographer!! Thank you, Deirdre, for everything you have done for us!

Deirdre is truly so talented and so wonderful to work with. My husband and I are both EXTREMELY camera shy and frankly not terribly photogenic, but Deirdre made us both so comfortable and the whole process was so easy. Now we have absolutely amazing engagement and wedding photos. Wedding photos are something you get to keep forever and I would pick Deirdre to be our photographer 100 times over if I could. Worth every penny. Not to mention, she’s also just the sweetest coolest person.

Deirdre is magical. She was the first vendor we hired, and she was a dream to work with from start to finish. She is a true artist with the most incredible eye- I am in awe to her ability to capture everything from intimate moments between a couple to a bustling wedding reception full of 150+ people. She is able to read the room and artfully work between chatting it up to make people feel more comfortable, or acting like a fly on the wall and “disappearing” in order to capture a quieter moment. From our engagement photos, to our engagement party, our rehearsal dinner, to the day of the wedding- Deirdre was there every step of the way. She is communicative, funny, kind, and truly a joy to work with. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else there with us. She really worked to build a relationship with us throughout the entire planning process, so by the time the wedding arrived I trusted her implicitly and grew to think of her as a friend. And- THE PHOTOS! Oh my god. They are absolutely unreal. We have too many “favorite” photos to count. They are all so timeless, soulful, and bring tears to my eyes when we look through them. She captured the day so perfectly and I am so forever grateful to her. Must also give a shout out to Deirdre's second shooter, Jenn. They were the perfect duo and worked so beautifully together. I truly can’t recommend Deirdre enough- she is so special! Hire her!

I could not have asked for a better photographer to capture our special day!! Five stars are seriously not enough. Deirdre is incredibly talented and has such a talent and eye for capturing beautiful, authentic moments. From the start, she was so kind and helpful in making sure that all of the logistics, including day of timelines, were worked out in advance so the day could be as stress-free as possible. She made all of us feel so comfortable. We were so grateful that Deirdre got our photos back to us so quickly after our elopement-style wedding. I know we will all cherish the photos she took that weekend for the rest of our lives. We are so appreciative of all of her amazing work and capturing our weekend even better than we could have ever imagined. Deirdre is the absolute best!!!

Deirdre was the most amazing wedding photographer. I couldn’t imagine what the day would have been like without her. After the rush of such an intense day I am forever thankful I chose her to capture those memories forever. I don’t think I’d remember it the same way without her ability to capture literal magic in every image ❤️
