    Would hire Dustin again and again and again 💯💯💯

    Dustin did an AMAZING job with both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. They’re all so incredible and our friends and family agree. I can’t wait to print all of them to enjoy and give them as gifts for our friends and family. Dustin was easy to work with, organized, and responsive! He made us feel comfortable and got us laughing when posing felt a little awkward. We appreciated every moment of working with him and the energy he brought to our wedding. Nicole was also fantastic to work with at the wedding. Good vibes all around and also worth calling out that Dustin connected us with Bat City Beats which gave our wedding the best DJ! Trust all of his recommendations because they’re worth it! We’d hire Dustin again any day. 10/10 would recommend!!

    Dustin is awesome!!

    Dustin was incredible to work with!! We had a friend take our engagement photos, so we hadn't shot with Dustin until our wedding day, yet he made us feel comfortable immediately. He and his wife are both extremely talented, and even our detail shots look so cool and artsy. Dustin was patient when we got a little off schedule, and he was so fun the whole night!
    Our photos look amazing, and get this....he got them to us within ONE week!!! WOW! We were not anticipating that at all and were so excited to relive our big day through his camera's eyes!
    Dustin is affordable yet HIGH quality!
    I'm adding some of our couple shots, but our family shots look AMAZING, and he captured so many fun reception moments too!

    Amazing experience!

    My husband and I had the BEST experience with Dustin Finkelstein Photography! Dustin really took the time to understand what we were looking for, and we couldn't be happier with how our wedding photos turned out! We were surprised and delighted to see a number of beautifully shot photos (both posed and candid) of our guests, taken at different points throughout the day. Dustin and his wife Nicole (our second photographer) were not only very professional and efficient but also warm spirited and just lovely to be around. They make a great team and really know their craft - and it shows in the photos! From our initial consultation with Dustin to those final snapshots on the dance floor, we couldn't be more thrilled with the whole experience. We would recommend them for any event! Thank you Dustin Finkelstein Photography!

    Don't regret not having better pictures

    Worth every penny! Navigating our budget and figuring out what to prioritize was one of the harder parts of planning our wedding. Being on the other side of the wedding, all I can say is make sure you love your photographer, the photos will last a lifetime. And without a doubt we loved Edmond! From the first meeting we felt so comfortable with him, and his calm energy on the wedding day was greatly appreciated. We received our full gallery less than 2 weeks from the wedding date and are obsessed with the pictures!!! I shopped around a lot, and found Dustin's company to be extremely reasonably priced and they followed through with every promise and then some. If they're on your radar and available on your date, BOOK THEM!

    Fun photo experience and great value

    We absolutely loved our experience with Dustin and Nicole. They made our photo experience easy and we're so happy with the results. Additionally, we loved how easy it was to add a photobooth and the DJ they work with, Bat City Beats, was amazing. We highly recommend Dustin!

    Absolutely recommend Dustin and his team!

    We loved working with Dustin throughout our wedding planning process! He was so thorough, helped us make a custom package for photography and videography so we would get the best deal without missing any of our events. It was a 3 day Indian wedding and Dustin and his team (Nicole and Joe) were there on time for each event, thoroughly professional and seasoned in their craft!
    They understood the importance of our Indian rituals and have captured it beautifully during all 3 events in the photos.
    We loved how prompt Dustin was in responding to us and being there for us when we had questions during the planning phase.
    We cherish the photos he gave us which was uploaded within a few days of the wedding!

    We recommend him, Joe and Nicole a 100%!

    Best Photographers Ever!

    Dustin Finkelstein Photography did an amazing job with our wedding and engagement photos. He and his wife were easy to contact, quick to respond, kind, and thorough. They made sure to capture all the perfect moments, angles, and came up with some creative ideas for our photo shoots. They were also extremely professional, fun to be around, and the turn around time for the photos was so quick! I would 100% recommend booking with them - and their pricing is so reasonable! We plan to have more photo shoots with them in the future.

    FABULOUS photography team!

    I worked with Edmond Lorts during my wedding and he was absolutely phenomenal during the planning process and on our wedding day. He showed up early, ready to go, and took photos above and beyond my expectations. He also was wonderful with our flower girls, and especially patient with my 3-year old niece. Our guests all loved him and he helped to keep us on our timeline as well. And to top everything off, we got all of our photos back in less than a week! I honestly don't think you could ask for anything more in a wedding photographer and I would recommend Edmond a million times over.

    I can’t speak highly enough of Dustin! Dustin was very flexible on customizing our package to allow us to receive what we wanted, at the price that we wanted which was greatly appreciated. Dustin always promptly answered emails and helped with our wedding photo timeline, which was extremely helpful. On the day of our wedding, Dustin and his wife went above and beyond throughout the whole day. We loved Dustin’s photography style, which is not over-edited, but rather crisp and clean photos. He got many candid pictures that make us smile to look back on and remember how happy we were. Lastly, the week after our wedding we were so excited to see a couple of photos and it was such a wonderful surprise when Dustin already had our entire wedding photo gallery ready. We greatly appreciate Dustin’s and his wife’s hard work before, during, and after our wedding. We can’t recommend Dustin’s photography enough! Thank you for everything Dustin – you exceeded our expectations and provided us with pictures that we will cherish for a lifetime!

    Dustin is INCREDIBLE. I truly cannot say enough about how amazing a photographer he is. We worked with him on the package to get exactly what we wanted. He's also incredibly fast - we had our engagement photos back within days, and our wedding album back within a week of the wedding. I've never heard of another photographer who has such a fast return of photos! Especially to have so many treasured shots that we adore. We are extremely happy with the photos we have from both our engagement and our wedding. We have many photos that we didn't expect to get - like me hugging my grandmother, or dancing with my flower girl. The reception photos and photo booth photos were incredible quality - some of these are my favorite of the day! He also does an amazing job at the formal photos - but I would say his best strength is the more candid shots, and the artistic shots. We have a BEAUTIFUL shot from our ceremony that looks like it was in an ad in a wedding magazine. The one thing I wanted to splurge on for this wedding was my photographer and I am so glad I did. Dustin and Nicole are worth every penny - I have memories that I never thought I would have from my big day and I'm so thankful to Dustin and Nicole for capturing the little moments along with the formal shots. I also recommend their photobooth. Not only do you get as many prints day of that you want, but you get full size shots in an online gallery that you can share. These are amazing quality, and honestly some of my favorite shots of the day! Most photo booths give you just copies of the 4-shot photo strip. Dustin gives you the full size, full quality photo that you can print and share, of each shot!! I highly recommend Dustin and Nicole - fast, efficient, extremely good quality photos, and so nice to deal with. I've had a few questions before and after the big day, and Dustin is responsive both by text, e-mail and phone. He should be the #1 choice for photographers in Austin!

    Dustin was fantastic! Our photos were beautiful - we have received so many compliments on them, and I know we'll cherish them for years. He was incredibly easy to work with, and we really loved the shots he got of us our family, and all of our guests. Each photo captures the spirit of the wedding. Most importantly for us, he captured truly wonderful photos of our two dogs who were part of the ceremony - it's no small feat getting them to sit still and look at a camera. They turned out beautifully, and we got them all back in less than a week! We were so impressed - I'd recommend him to anyone.

    We are so extremely lucky to have chosen Dustin as our photographer for both our engagement session and our wedding. He has a great eye for beautiful photos, and was so easy to work with. In addition to getting gorgeous photos at a really reasonable price, Dustin’s turnaround for getting the photos back to you is very quick. We had our fully edited wedding photos back to us in less than a week! His assistant Edmond was there for our wedding day as well, and was also so easy to work with and took beautiful photos.

    We also purchased the photobooth from Dustin which was self manned and our guests could print as many photos as they wanted. He provided a choice in backdrop and props, but we also supplemented with some of our own.

    Overall, I wouldn’t have changed a thing, and would highly recommend Dustin and his team.

    Dustin did our engagement, photo booth, and wedding photos and everything was incredible. I even got my videography through him as well. He was very responsive, professional, and really easy and fun to work with. He came all the way out to our property in Bulverde to do our engagement photos and was the first vendor on site for the wedding day, helping to put my mind at ease. The pictures were beautiful and came back to us within days after the wedding. We keep getting so many comments on how well done they are and I am so pleased with choosing Dustin to help us on our big day! Thanks for everything.

    I don't even know where to start. Dustin is fantastic! He shot our wedding on 10/28/17. From start to finish Dustin was easy to communicate with and prompt. We got our online album in 5 days! He did a wonderful job at the ceremony, moving seamlessly through the guests and never being "in your face" or in the way. He listened to exactly what I wanted and boy, did he deliver. We could not be happier. Our photos are beautiful! Thank you Dustin for your attention to detail and capturing every moment and emotion of our wonderful day.

    What can I say? Dustin is amazing. We first came across Dustin's portfolio because we were looking for a photographer who would do a fantasy-themed engagement shoot with us. Turns out, that's not an easy thing to find, but Dustin was all about it! We were sold. Not only were our engagement shots perfectly and uniquely us, he exceeded our wedding day expectations by 200%. We just got our wedding album back today (a WEEK turnaround for the record. Amazing.) and the photos are stunning. People keep commenting "Everyone looks so happy!" or "This photo made me cry!" They look this way because Dustin is a genius at capturing the emotion of all of the important moments. We even had a small hiccup where the brother of the groom did a wedding no-no and brought his own fancy camera to the event. While this is not ideal in the slightest, Dustin was perfectly professional, was able to navigate around him, and there wasn't a single photo with our surprise "second photographer" in the shot. Now that's something only a real pro can pull off. :) Thanks Dustin for perfectly capturing the most important day of our lives.

    Dustin is fabulous! Although I felt uncomfortable being in front of the camera, he found many fabulous shots during our engagement session. He is very responsive, comes prepared with ideas for shoots due to his experience in the industry, and works with tight schedules! We got our photos back fully edited in such a short amount of time and I am
    still recieving compliments on his work! I am so excited to have my Bridal and wedding portraits done with him.

    Dustin did a wonderful job for our wedding, bridal portraits, and engagement session. He does a fantastic job of capturing details and also at achieving excellent candid photos during the event. I was also extremely pleased with his ease of communication, payment, and also with his rapid return time on photos. He gave us photos to remember the memories we treasure forever.

    We used Dustin for our May 26, 2017 wedding. Out of all of the photographers we interviewed, he was the only one who asked questions about us and seemed genuinely interested in us. I was always nervous before a photo session (we did an engagement session and bridal session with Dustin as well), but he always made us feel comfortable. Dustin is also very organized--he has you fill out questionnaires and allows unlimited consultations, so for a Type A personality like me, I really liked his organization. He is very responsive to emails and quick to get photos back to you. His prices are reasonable, and he offers several different packages to choose from. Dustin has a great eye and got some unique shots on our wedding day. We just love our photos! It was a pleasure having him and his wife Nicole capturing our big day!

    Hire Dustin! He and his team were so amazing at my wedding this weekend. Anytime I needed him, he was there. Came prepared with vision and ideas, which was so helpful since my mind was totally frazzled! He and his 2nd photographer were everywhere throughout the night, never missing a moment. A guest even told me he saw one of them climbing trees and other acrobatic moves just to get perfect shots. I can't wait to see the final results!

    Dustin photographed my brother in laws wedding a few years back, and when we got engaged it was an absolute no brainer that he would be our photographer. We already knew the quality of his work was like no one else, but having him as a part of our special day, made us love him even more. There is not a more artistic, fun to work with photographer out there. You will absolute regret passing him up.
