About

My name is Dustin Merrill. I believe everything has a story worth telling. I have been telling those stories since I was a child. First with my mothers camcorder and now with my own. Red Tie Cinematography is my tool for telling the stories of those around me. Red Tie is based out of St. George, UT. Travel is always an option as I have already filmed weddings in the Salt Lake area and as far north as Rexburg, ID. Las Vegas is very close and is always an exciting time.

Best Videographer: Seriously Hire Him

Dustin was the best Videographer we could have asked for. He made us feel so comfortable and was hilarious to keep us smiling for our video. He worked so well with our dog and surprised us with the amount of equipment he had to get different shots. We dragged him all around Zion and he was more than accommodating when I got car sick from all the off roading to the different locations. I cannot recommend him enough.

Exceptional, Above and Beyond, Fun!

Working with Dustin was the best (well one of the best) parts of my wedding! We booked him for our Saturday festivities and as I showed up to our venue on Friday afternoon, he was there ready to go with no extra cost just because he "had some free time" and "wanted to capture the day"! He constantly went above and beyond our expectations and was truly so joyful to work with! His sense of humor, laid back style, and sincere excitement for me and my husband made us feel at ease and confident that he would capture our day in the most beautiful and sincere way. Bison and the Bird is a must!

I've been thinking for a while about what I could possibly post to give Dustin the credit he deserves. Hiring Red Tie Cinematography was hands down the best decision I made for my wedding (second to the groom of course!) I had no idea how much I would treasure my film, surprisingly more so than the still images from our photographers. I know there are numerous skilled videographers out there, but on one of the most important days of your life the stakes are much higher. Trust me when I say, you won't ever regret hiring the best of the best! Dustin captured our day and made it into a FILM not some cringeworthy highlight video but an actual cinematic masterpiece, capturing vividly every emotion of the day. We are forever grateful for him and his outstanding work. If you have the slightest inkling to hire Red Tie, go with your gut and just do it, it will be the greatest gift you can give to yourself, your spouse and your family.

This guy is a bigot and outspoken anti-mormon

How this guy does business in Utah photographing weddings is astonishing. Does his LDS clients have any idea what he thinks about their religion?

Warning. Owner is a Rabid Anti-Mormon

This owner is entitled to his own opinions but for those who are LDS (or just people who don't care for bigotry) be warned this owner is a rabid outspoken anti-mormon. He is well known in the St. George News comment section for vile anti-mormon comments, including cheering on the death of President Nelson. There are many other photographers that share your values in the community. We're entitled to our opinions but customers have a right to know who they're spending money with.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
