Studio Ostendo operates in multiple creative fields including photography, design, and education.
I’m Becky Dean, and I’m an artist, photographer, a wife, and a momma. Being invited into the most personal celebrations and intimate stories is one of my greatest privileges as a photographer. Beyond amazing locations and beautiful details, I love photography because of the people. I love to capture artful photographs that are important to people—photographs that evoke an experience, photographs that tell a story, photographs that show the beauty of being human and being in relationship. Camera in hand, I simultaneously get to know people and give them the gift of seeing a deeper part of themselves and the people they love. Photography has taught me to slow down; to observe, experience, and engage in order to know when to take the most meaningful photograph.
Long before I was photographing weddings, I was taking and printing photographs of my life. Each time I pick up my mom’s old film camera to snap a photo of my boys or grab a phone photo of a mundane moment with my son makes me a better photographer for my clients. As an artist I’m not only creating my favorite work on wedding days. Day in and day out, I’m capturing the things in my own life worth remembering—the stories I’ll be retelling for years—and I’d love to do that for you.
