We had such an amazing experience working with Dustin for both our henna night and our wedding! He handled our photography, videography, and albums, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience.

One of my favorite things about Dustin was how much he embraced our culture and genuinely got involved in our celebrations. He was so fun, social, and personable that he honestly felt like part of the celebration rather than just someone there to take photos and videos. My family absolutely loved him and kept talking about what a joy he was to have around!

He also has such a gift for capturing candid, authentic moments. So many of our photos and videos feel natural and true to how the day actually felt rather than overly posed or staged. He captured the big moments, but also all the little moments in between that made the day ours.

One moment that really stands out was right after our ceremony when my blouse unexpectedly snapped and broke. I was panicking but also laughing, and Dustin captured the entire moment as my ladies gathered around me to help fix it. What could have just been a stressful moment ended up becoming such an intimate, funny, and beautiful memory because he captured all of the love and support happening around me in real time. Those are the kinds of moments that make looking back at our
wedding photos and videos feel so special and real.

Dustin was also incredibly kind, communicative, responsive, and flexible. He stayed longer when he needed to, went into all different kinds of places and areas to get the shots, and really went above and beyond to make sure nothing was missed. He made us feel comfortable, kept the energy fun, and was always willing to get right in there and capture the moment.

We are so grateful for everything Dustin captured for us. Our
photos and videos bring back the emotions, energy, laughter, and love of our wedding day all over again. We would absolutely have him again for another celebration and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone talented, personable, fun, and truly invested in capturing the real moments of your special day!

Dustin did our wedding photography and I absolutely recommend him for anybody looking for a good photographer! I really appreciate how he was good at going with the flow. Even with the chaos of family all trying to get photos he did a wonderful job making sure to get pictures of everything we asked for. We had a wonderful experience with him!

Great experience with him when doing my college grad photos, does the poses that you want but also suggests some of his own. Pictures turned out amazing, I’m very happy with them. Really nice and punctual! Highly recommend!

Dustin is an exceptional wedding photographer. He was professional and also a lot of fun to shoot with. He did a great job wrangling our family and took extraordinary photos of everyone. He did a phenomenal job of shooting all of the traditional pictures (dress, shoes, family, bridal party, etc.) while also catching all of the fun and candid moments you never get to see. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photograph for an outdoor wedding - especially if it is a scenic location.

To be honest, I took a risk on Dustin.

I waited until the very last minute to find a photographer for my son's Red Egg & Ginger Party (100th-day celebration) and was on a tight budget after splurging on an expensive venue with a long guest list. It was also my first time using Thumbtack. I scrolled through some of the more "popular" and higher-priced photographers, who also had a ton of reviews, but did not feel that their style was what I was looking for.

When Dustin contacted me, I wasn't sure in the beginning due to his sparse reviews; however, upon visiting his website and IG, I was impressed with his portfolio and the depth shown in all of his photos. However, most of the pictures were of outdoor
weddings and my party was mostly an indoor event. But it was just days before my event, and his price was within my budget, so I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best.

On the day of the event, Dustin arrived even earlier than I did to the restaurant. Upon seeing him, he was already looking around, scoping out the venue, checking the lighting, and taking test shots. I gave him very little instructions to work with - all I wanted were some family portraits and candid shots of the party. From there, he snapped away for 3+ hours, always patient and in the background of a very chaotic Asian party, and I barely noticed he was there the whole time.

Fast forward 9 days (5 business days), I received the thumb drive that I provided Dustin for the
photos. He ended up producing and edited almost 400 photos, double what I had expected. As my husband and I scrolled through the pictures, it reconfirmed that we totally made the right choice going with him - he brought all of the care and detail and atmospheric elements of his romantic outdoor weddings to a loud, disorganized brunch party and made everything look timeless, precious and heartwarming. Not only that, he provided color AND black & white versions in both high AND low resolutions. That meant I got 4 copies of each shot to play around with!

Dustin blew all of my expectations away from his professionalism the day of, his quick turnaround time, and ultimately, the amazing final photos. Hire this guy, you won't regret it!
