About

Who We Are

We are Dustin & Mandi Baker. Husband, Wife, and Best Friends. We have so much fun getting to do this together. Every wedding we get to capture reminds us of the vows we said to each other years ago. Getting to do what you love with who you love is a special thing and we are grateful to God for that blessing!

Areas Covered

We are based in Corpus Christi, Texas, but we travel all over the state and beyond. We regularly photograph weddings in San Antonio, Austin, the Texas Hill Country, New Braunfels, Boerne, Dripping Springs, and everywhere in between. Travel is not a problem for us at all.

Our Style

We consider ourselves to be “documentary photographers”, but with a flair for the epic. We love to work with people that are all about human connection and the depth of love and emotion that a moment carries. The images that we create together will become your first family heirloom. So we get just how important it is to find the perfect photographer for your wedding!

So what does all of that mean exactly? Well, in specifics, it means that we won’t ask you to look at the camera and say “cheese”; it means we won’t disrupt the flow of your day by setting up group shots of all various combinations of guests for hours on end; it means we won’t make you feel awkward by posing you just so; it means no fake smiles, no interfering, and nothing cringeworthy. It means honest photography and a true and artful rendering of the story you’ve created together.

What sets us apart from other wedding photographers?

This is a question that we get often. It's one that we are passionate about answering because it allows us to be completely sincere with people. It's as simple as this - we want to be more than "just another vendor" for our clients. As your wedding photographers, we're going to be with you during some very intimate, and special moments on your wedding day. We don't want you to be intimidated by a stranger with a big camera in your face. We genuinely want to become friends with you through the process. We want you to be so comfortable with us that by the time the wedding day rolls around, we're just great friends that you've invited to your wedding, who happen to have cameras. We are completely sincere when we say this, and it's not just lip-service. If you are willing to open your hearts to us, we will be able to capture your story so much more honestly.

Beautiful photography

Dustin is a very talented photographer. He took our engagement photos, and I absolutely loved them! He captures all the right angles and the lighting, and the colors of the pictures are beautiful. He made us laugh and relaxed during the session, and gave us a quick turnaround on when the photos would be processed. We also hired him to be our wedding photographer, and he was on time, professional, and amazingly respectful of our time during the wedding. I would highly recommend Dustin!

Dustin is the sweetest guy! My husband and I fell in love with his work as soon as we saw it. We really felt he captured both our story and our energy! He did both our engagement and wedding. When my husband and I decide to have a baby we’ll be giving him a call to do our family photos too! Thanks Dustin!

Everything was beyond better than expected. We love working with Dustin and would definetly do it again!

I was referred to Dustin and Lone Oak Photography from my sister in law who had nothing but great things to say about his work as her wedding as well.
I went with Dustin for ungagements, bridals, and our wedding all in a personalized package. He was great to work with! For someone like me who had no idea what I was doing he was SUCH a big help! He made everything so easy. Along with being someone great and easy to work with, his work was AMAZING! The beauty, uniqueness, and creativity in his work is one of a kind. I cannot tell you how many people complimented our photos and asked who had done our photography.
Lone Oak photography is affordable, personal, and creative and you would be nothing less than satisfied. I highly recommend them!

Micro wedding

We had a very small wedding but Dustin was able to figure out where he needed to be the whole time without any down time. My moms only recommendation to me while planning was you can cut a lot of expenses for your wedding, but DO NOT skimp on a photographer and now I know why. While my dress is hanging in a closet its the pictures that I show in my home. I got all the shots that I wanted and lots that I never knew Id want. I would recommend him to any of my engaged friends.

The Greatest. Ever.

Choosing Dustin with Lone Oak Studios to shoot our engagement and wedding was the best decision I made. Brace yourselves, because he is INCREDIBLE. My jaw dropped when I saw what he captured on our engagement shoot--and this was shooting two people who had never had professional photos taken. Then he shot our wedding, and I was blown away. I feel like I won the lottery. He knows how and when to give direction. He's professional. He's reliable. But beyond his incredible talent, he is a kind, gentle soul, and just a joy to be around. I would recommend Dustin to the Queen of England if she asked for a photographer recommendation. He's the best.

I found Dustin online and reached out even though he was located in a different city than my where my wedding would be taking place--and I'm so glad I did! After a few conversations, it was clear Dustin is truly passionate about what he does and it really shows in his work. He was always professional, answering all of my many emails promptly. He was generally just very easy to work with and my engagement and wedding pictures were wonderful. I cannot recommend Lone Oak Studios enough.

When we first started looking for a photographer for our wedding, we instantly knew we liked Lone Oak Studios, even before we met with them in person. Dustin and Jason set up a meeting with us and we decided we wanted to use them right away. They were professional, friendly, responsive, and so very nice. We took engagement photos with them and they were so fun and made it a very pleasant experience. As a bride, I tended to worry about all of my vendors showing up on the day of our wedding, and Dustin & Jason showed up almost 3 hours early. Our families love them and we received many compliments. Our photos-----talk about amazing! They captured our wedding perfectly, and the quality of photos is the best around. I definitely recommend Lone Oak Studios to anyone who is considering using them as a photographer, you won't regret it!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
