Introduction
I am a wedding photographer based out of Northern California. I specialize in outdoor weddings and elopements. From the beach to the mountains, forest and deserts, I bring as much nature as I can into the photos and the romance of love.
I am interested in shooting in more National Parks! The more adventurous the better!

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!

Dustin communicated well up until the date. He was early to our wedding and began taking pictures. He was cordial throughout the event, even when individuals were in the way for pictures. He also took time at the end of the night to say good bye and ensure all pictures (possible) were taken. He provided pictures in a timely manner and was flexible on pay schedule. Would recommend!
