Can't recommend Dustin more!

We hired Dustin as a photographer recommended by our wedding venue, OVY Camp. We're so happy we did. Dustin captured every aspect of our big day that we planned with him leading up to the event, on schedule, without an assistant! The images blew away our expectations. All images are vibrant, well exposed, and feel like they've captured the personality and excitement of ourselves and our guests. They really are photos we'll treasure for the rest of our lives.

Dustin was recommended to us by a friend and we are certainly grateful for the recommendation. Dustin was great to work with from the beginning. He was laid back but very professional and extremely responsive. He was able to offer a good number of galleries to preview from prior weddings and it helped us know that we liked his style. What attracted me to his pictures are that they are very candid and sort of documentary. That was what I was hoping for, a great documentation of a very special day. Once we decided to work with Dustin he was very easy to work with. He provided regular check ins and requested information on how we wanted the day to run and what we were looking for from the photographer. He was as easy to work with on the day of the event as in the planning phase. Dustin and his assistant were phenomenal at getting great shots while never being intrusive towards us or our guests. It was also fun to have the photographers be genuinely excited about the day and capturing special moments. In three weeks we received over 1000 images. Looking back on those images has made us and our families so happy. If anything the hard part is trying to pick out the best of the best because they are all good. If you like Dustin’s style you will not be disappointed in anything that he does for you.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would; Dustin is truly everything you want in a photographer and everything a bride wants with day of nerves. My husband and I hired Dustin for both our engagement session and our wedding which took place in Joshua Tree National Park. Dustin had no issues traveling this far for both events. By working with Dustin during our engagement it give us a chance to get to know him and feel comfortable in front of the camera which was important to us. Needless to say our engagement session turned our wonderfully and the 3 plus hours flew by. We used one of our photos for the Save the Date so fast forward a year and half later on wedding day our friends were still raving about our engagement photos. We recall them even stating that they couldn't wait to see what Dustin captured for the wedding. Wedding weekend went as close to perfect as possible with some minor timeline hiccups not related to Dustin. Needless to say as a bride, not only did Dustin serve as a talented photographer but he calmed my nerves as any friend would and helped my timeline stay on track. What more could you want? We decided to do a first look prior to the wedding ceremony and Dustin was a huge part in helping us create this moment. We cannot recommend Dustin enough to EVERYONE! His super down to earth and professional energy make the happiest day of your life even better. He is fun and the real deal! We also invited Dustin to our welcome dinner which we highly suggest as it gives guests a chance to become familiar with him and helps you get those candid shots. His photos truly capture the most raw moments of a couple and the energy between them. We still find ourselves scrolling through his blog as every session is so different. Dustin we love you and we hope to work with you again in the future! Thank you for everything! CHEERS! -Cody and Rebecca O'Malley, 2017
