As the bride and groom, we wanted to capture the fleeting, unforgettable moments of our big day as we’ve been told it goes by in the blink of an eye! We were fortunate enough to receive a recommendation from our wedding venue, Norfolk Botanical Gardens, for an incredibly talented photographer, Dustin Lewis, who exceeded our every expectation! What struck us most about Dustin was his ability to capture the pure essence of the true happiness we felt and the fun moments that occurred throughout the wedding day! His attention to detail and artistic eye brought out the small, tender moments that may have been overlooked.
Dustin was not only a master behind the camera, but also a true professional. He arrived on time, maintained a friendly and approachable demeanor, and made us feel truly at ease throughout the whole day! His level of communication is impeccable as he was always willing to answer a text, email or call whenever we had a question, so we knew we were in good hands the day of the wedding. As two camera shy individuals, Dustin pushed us to be our best selves by giving us confidence and coaching us to do so! No matter how ridiculous we may have looked, we never once felt embarrassed. He was a true champion throughout our outdoor wedding, on July 12th, in Virginia! He suggested many different ideas and shots, which ended up becoming some of our favorite pictures from the day.
We’ve received our full wedding gallery and we’re absolutely blown away by the level of craftsmanship and artistry. Each new image we see as we scroll through is a true work of art that evokes the joy and tenderness we experienced during those precious moments. Dustin managed to encapsulate those emotions and create timeless memories that we will cherish forever! Working with Dustin has been an absolute pleasure from our engagement photo shoot to the end of the wedding day. His exceptional talent, professionalism, and dedication to his craft makes him a stand out choice in the world of photography! We wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone seeking extraordinary photographs and an unforgettable wedding day! - The Canavoses

Amazing photography!
Dustin was recommended to us by some friends who had him as their photographer. He was very responsive and flexible with our giant wedding shot list! My husband and I absolutely loved our photos and he captured the night perfectly. We wanted pictures that were classy but also some fun pictures and Dustin gave us the PERFECT mix of this! Dustin made all of the pictures comfortable, natural, and fun! We love all of our photos.

Amazing experience and incredible photos!
I couldn't be more pleased with hiring Dustin to do our elopement photography. The price was great and the quality of photos was absolutely wonderful. We had Dustin photograph our ceremony and some on-site couple's portraits, for a total of an hour. The quality of service we recieved, to work with him and the photos, was truly beyond what we imagined for the hour.
Dustin really fit nicely into our wedding day. He was incredibly comfortable to work with, easy to communicate with, very responsive, timely, and really understood our vision.
Our entire collection of photos were delivered quickly and we even got some wonderful previews within days. I would definitely recommend Dustin, especially for elopement-style and simple ceremonies!

Customer for Life
If you are in the Hampton Roads Area you need to book Dustin!! Beyond being amazing at his craft, Dustin is such a genuine person and helps you relax behind the camera. The thing I love the most about Dustin is if you show him your vision/vibe you're going for he will make sure he executes it. He even encourages you to show him your inspo pictures if you have them. He truly captured many genuine and beautiful moments at my wedding which meant so much for me and my husband, because 90% of our guests traveled from out of state, so it may be years before we can capture moments with certain friends and family. We look forward to Dustin capturing all our memorable moments in the future! #maternityshootnext

Dream photographer for a dream wedding
Awestruck! This is how we felt when hubby and I saw our wedding photos and we still are a week later every time we look at them. Dustin was a pleasure to work with and incredibly kind, attentive to detail, present for all moments while also easily blending in, spoke up to the encourage capture of special moments, and snapped moments that I was too busy to notice on the day-of so that I could appreciate even more of our special day through his capture of other perspectives. His pricing is VERY good and quality is WORTH IT! He will be responsive to your requests and respond in a timely manner. Be prepared to absolutely adore your wedding day all over again through his incredible photographs! It was a dreary and cloudy day and yet Dustin managed to find a break in the rain and used pop-up lighting to ensure we got the outdoor photos we so desperately wanted and the backdrop was spectacular!
Thank you Dustin Lewis Photography for capturing the best day of our lives and allowing us to relive it through your pictures everyday!

Best Day Ever...
Dustin Lewis made our Big Day so easy. His work is beautiful, he is very flexible and professional, and he made us feel at ease. When we requested changes in our package and changes in the dates of our photo sessions, Dustin didn't hesitate to do whatever he could to help. If you have any special needs, ie age, health issues, heat/cold intolerance, pets, children, shyness...whatever, he can help you make your memories the very best.

What an amazing photographer!
Dustin was always very quick and responsive, thorough, and great to work with! He had a very calming presence, and was helpful with our engagement and wedding photos! He even allowed us to do two different locations for our engagement photos! We just got our wedding photos back, and they're beautiful! It even came in a lovely box with an engraved USB drive!! His attention to detail is definitely noticed! Our photos have a very timeless look, which is exactly what I wanted! Can't recommend enough!!

THE BEST! 100/10!
Dustin is simply AMAZING. From discovering his work at another venue, to our first phone call, our first meeting, and all the way through wedding day & night, he was the absolute best choice we could have made. We were quite the rowdy bunch, and we had SO much fun with Dustin because HE had fun with us! He rolled with all of our craziness while remaining knowledgeable, professional, focused and intentional. Not only was he determined to get the shots that we wanted but he also made sure that we were having the most amazing day the entire time. He is so much more than just a photographer! He truly created an experience for us with memories that will last a lifetime. And the photos (these are just sneak peaks!) are to DIE for. Dustin, we cannot thank you enough for the most perfect day!!!!!!

Easy, worry-free, perfect
We LOVED every single photo Dustin took and are so happy with the way they turned out. Dustin captured people’s personalities perfectly in a way that didn’t feel forced or unnatural. We really appreciate the combination of candid and posed photos and color and black and white images that were provided and the variety of angles presented.
we can’t thank Dustin enough for the effort and energy he put into our day- we couldn’t be happier with the result. Do yourself a favor and hire Dustin, you won’t be disappointed.

Don’t hesitate, book Dustin!
I first met Dustin at my friend’s wedding YEARS ago and knew once I saw her pictures that I wanted Dustin to photograph my wedding. Once I was engaged, there was no hesitation, I reached out immediately. Dustin is the best!! He’s down to earth, extremely responsive and his work is FLAWLESS. Our engagement pictures were beautiful and our wedding pictures were even better. Dustin did an amazing job capturing our love story! We loved working with him!

Amazing Experience
Dustin is wonderful to work with. He worked with us on an engagement shoot (in Smithfield) and spent few hours with us getting some really great shots. Those were then made into a photo album that was on display during our ceremony and reception.
He was also our photographer for the wedding (in Hampton) with Dmitry as his second shooter and together they captured the day perfectly. Dustin had great ideas to incorporate different backdrops in the surrounding area and ensured that we got every grouping with guests and the wedding party that we hoped for (including a mad dash to get photos with each guest table - which was a lot of fun).
He was energized and excited throughout the entire experience and was willing to try out whatever wacky setup we thought up while also offering his professional insight and being prepared with poses and prompts when we ran out of ideas.
He also sent “sneak previews” within a few days of both the engagement and wedding shoots which was a nice addition.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, a better photographer, or better photos. You won’t be disappointed!

Dustin for the WIN!
Dustin was absolutely amazing to work with! Since we live in Richmond, we first met Dustin via Zoom for an initial consultation to see if we wanted to book him as our photographer for our wedding. He was very laid back, easy going, professional, and we both felt very comfortable talking with him. We knew all of those qualities were important to us when looking for a photographer since we would be spending almost our entire wedding day with him. When asked to do our engagement session in Richmond he was more than excited. He encouraged us to bring our dog along which was a big plus for us. The weather didn't cooperate the first time we had scheduled our engagement photos, but he was flexible and accommodated a new date that worked well for all of our schedules. Dustin was also very helpful and flexible during the wedding planning process. He provided suggestions on our timeline that allowed us to spend more time with our family and friends. He and his second shooter, Dmitry, were dressed professionally on our wedding day, fit right in with our guests, and we loved having them there! And the PHOTOS. WOW. He is truly amazing at his craft and would highly recommend booking him. We can't thank him enough! We both felt like we gained a friend out of this experience and would love to catch up outside of the wedding scene for a drink or two!

Dustin is amazing!
Our first encounter with Dustin was when he photographed our friend's wedding a few years ago. We loved how easy he was to work with and the pictures turned out beautiful. Fast forward to 2021 and we were looking for a photographer for our wedding in November. Of course, Dustin came to our minds first. We already knew we loved his work and how easy going he was. We were so excited to book him! He is personable, responsive and is an amazing photographer. His work is timeless and he manages to capture every moment and detail. He makes it fun and easy behind the camera. We got our sneak peak photos within days - even on a holiday week! I have friends that waited almost a month for a sneak peak. We were obsessed with how the pictures turned out and loved the whole album even more. You won't be disappointed when you book with Dustin!

We are so thankful we hired Dustin as our photographer for our wedding. Not only is his work stunning, he takes the time to make sure he gets every shot you want and more.

Completely Blown Away
All I can say is WOW!!! I am really blown away. Our wedding at the Cavalier in VA Beach was beautiful, more amazing than we could have ever imaged...and somehow Dustin managed to capture the day so perfectly, it's like we get to re-live it by looking through the photos. He had a great mix of artistic shots, heartfelt moments, and hilarious ones from throughout the day and night. Not only were the photos incredible, but he was also very professional throughout the whole process and so much fun to work with! We even got the pictures back just 2 weeks after the wedding. Overall we could not be happier and I would HIGHLY recommend Dustin as a photographer for a wedding or any event, he is clearly very talented and passionate about photography. Thank you so much for preserving these memories for us that will last a lifetime!

Dustin captured our day Perfectly!
Dustin is THE BEST! To start, our engagement photos last November were perfect! Dustin listened to what we wanted and made his own professional suggestions as well and our pictures reflected it. We had so many people ask us who took our engagement pictures because they turned out so great, thanks to Dustin! Fast forward to our wedding day and of course Dustin did not disappoint. He is fun, excited to be there and very professional! The photos from our big day truly reflect our perfect day. From in the church, to photos on the water and we even have some of the BEST dancing pictures. I cannot stop going through them all. Thank you so much Dustin for capturing our big day!!

(So good, perhaps he should charge more?)
We hired Dustin on a recommendation from my sister-in-law’s mom, who knew Dustin professionally and wanted to hire him for my brother and SIL’s wedding in Pennsylvania. Mind you, this was all during COVID, we had 2 long “get to know you” conversations with Dustin because it was important to him that my fiancé and I were comfortable (and let’s be honest, you have to jive with your photographer). Y’all, he is so easy going and a great conversationalist, I kinda want to invite him over now that the wedding is done to just hang out!
Dustin was prompt, incredibly flexible with changing schedules, honest, kind, funny, and real. The photos were AMAZING! We got a sneak peak quickly and the edited finals within a month. I cannot believe how fantastic all of the photos were. Dustin captured the vibe of our day and all of the special moments. The USB with the photos he gave us came with a personal thank you note, thanking us for choosing him to be a part of our day. (For real?! No one does that!!) I just hope he enjoyed photographing our wedding as much as we enjoyed our day!
Hire him!!! You will not be disappointed!!!!
Dustin- thank you so much, from the bottom of our hearts!

Best of the Best
I have seen Dustin's work for years now and also grew up in the wedding industry. He is hands down one of the best, if not THE BEST wedding photographer in the state! My husband and I even changed our new wedding date based on Dustin's availability. I was able to provide samples of what I was looking for and Dustin accommodated, but he also provided suggestions. For our engagement session he kept the day fun and exciting (funny poses included)! During our wedding he kept everyone on track and was able to fulfill all request for group shots. We had a bridal party of 20 people and he kept us all moving. Lastly, Dustin has a great relationship with vendors across Hampton Roads which added to our day running smoothly! Since our big day a few of my friends have even booked him for their upcoming wedding(s)!

5 out of 5 Stars isn’t high enough
If you are in need of a photographer who feels more like family, knows how to have fun and takes INCREDIBLE photos - Dustin is your guy.
When searching for our photographer, we wanted to be sure we choose someone who felt so much more like a friend than a vendor and we could trust to capture our once in a lifetime moments. Upon meeting Dustin at the Lesner Inn open house, we knew he was our guy. Our wedding planning journey with Dustin Lewis began in January of 2019 for our originally scheduled May 2020 wedding... of course COVID had other plans for us. Throughout each step of the process, Dustin was there to work through it with us - every phone call, text message, meeting over a few brews and countless emails announcing new 2020 wedding changes - he was there for it, and invested in at all. Our wedding day was absolutely incredible, without a doubt thanks to Dustins help... the photo previews we have gotten are STUNNING!!! Like bridal magazine STUNNING. Our family and friends cannot stop talking about them.
But despite all of that, everyone keeps talking about how great he was and how seamlessly he blended into our bridal party. By the time Dustin arrived to my house on the wedding day, all of my bridesmaids had been in their robes, hair and makeup was running like clockwork, but after almost 2 years of ‘what if’ planning, it still wasn’t real to me. The moment Dustin walked in my front door, I started to cry... it all became real to me... he made it real for me. Dustin was the first vendor we booked and we could not be more thankful that he was there for all of our ups and downs.If you want a photographer whose as invested in your wedding as you are, hands down, you need to work with Dustin!

I hired Dustin for 2 fundraising events I planned in the course of the last year - and he was absolutely incredible to work with! He's very laid back, and personable. Guests loved him! He captured some amazing moments at each event. I favorited every picture in the album he sent me - so I think it's safe to say I give him a 10/10 rating! I will definitely hire him for any future event I plan!

Our Daughters Wedding
Dustin is an awesome photographer. He was able to capture the precious moments of our daughters wedding day in some really beautiful pictures. He and Dmetry both made us all feel very at ease and natural in the posed photos. From the time we initially met with him, he was very professional and spent time understanding the “vibe” of the bride and groom. He captured so many aspects of the day that we can truly relive the experience and the feeling of the day through his pictures. I would definitely recommend Dustin as a top notch professional photographer. Thanks Dustin!

Captured memories
Thanks to Dustin, we have memories that well last a lifetime. We've already made some into our thank you cards to send to family and friends. He made the day fun and enjoyable. We felt confident in his ability and trusted his choices and would do it all over with him if given the opportunity. If anyone is in need of a photographer, do yourself a favor, and book Dustin if you can! He's awesome!

Dustin is amazing!
Where do I start?? Dustin is Amazing at what he does! He is very talented. Me and my now husband have never taken professional pictures and he made us feel at ease from our engagement photos to our wedding photos. Everyone loves our photos and constantly compliments us on our photos. He is very professional yet very down to earth and it works with relaxing people who aren't comfortable in front of a camera like me :). We will definitely be using him in the future for any photographs we will need! Picking Dustin as your photographer is your best choice!!

Best photographer!
I am beyond glad we hired Dustin for our engagement shoot and wedding! He took phenomenal pictures, was always on time (if not a little early!), was professional, and an all around great person to work with! He has worked at numerous venues and knows all the perfect spots to shoot. For our engagement shoot (first landing state park) and at our wedding venue (the oyster farm at kings creek) he found the most beautiful locations I didn’t even know existed! After our wedding he got our pictures back to us very quickly (less than a month). If you have experience with other wedding photographers you know this can take up the three months if you don’t choose the best one. His specialty (and the initial reason he chose him) is sun sets! He knows the perfect time and way to shoot them! Our favorite pictures from our two shoots with him are our sunset pictures! But he can do everything! He captured our wedding perfectly and I will use him again in the future for other events!

Talented Photographer
Talented! Dustin is very professional and treats each wedding as if it is the most important ceremony/reception he will ever photograph. He has a special gift for shooting sunset pics which was important to us for our coastal reception. He processes the pictures quickly, captures not just the people ...but somehow manages to get the emotion of the moment too! Our experience with Dustin exceeded our expectations from booking to engagement sessions, planning, and finally the wedding day. We depended on him and trusted his advice for our “day of” schedule. He dressed nicely for our wedding too (have seen too many photographers dress sloppy for a formal event) and we appreciated his respect for our event. Dustin was also almost invisible! He never got in the way of the festivities while capturing every moment. Highly recommend Dustin Lewis Images.

Dustin is the best!
We hired Dustin as the photographer for our wedding this past May. He was an absolute joy to work with! All of the photos for our engagement and our wedding turned out amazing!! There was a huge thunderstorm the day of our wedding but Dustin was extremely flexible, capturing gorgeous photos in between rain storms and finding great lighting. Everyone in our bridal party raved about how professional he was, and how much fun he was to work with. If you hire Dustin as your wedding photographer you will definitely not be disappointed!

Your search is over, you've found your wedding photographer!
I lack the vocabulary to sufficiently express just how phenomenal Dustin Lewis is! He photographed our wedding in Cape Charles and took photos that deserve to be in high end bridal publications (not because of the subjects he was photographing, I assure you, but in his ability to make the scene look amazing!) He is a true talent and such a cool guy to work with. I would like to get married all over again just to have an opportunity to hire him to take more amazing pictures. Seriously, if you are searching for a wedding photographer, your search is over, you've found the one!

Awesome Photographer!
Dustin is incredible! He took both our engagement and wedding pictures and we are oh-so-glad we found him to do so. My husband and I were not used to posing for pictures, but Dustin made our engagement session comfortable and fun for us. Dustin contacted us a week before our wedding to discuss the logistics of the wedding day and to ensure he knew which family/bridal party pictures we wanted to get. We really appreciated his professionalism and fun personality the day of the wedding. The pictures perfectly and beautifully captured our day, and we love that we get to relive the best day of our lives every time we look at them! Thanks Dustin!

Magical & Fun
Dustin is amazing!! He is not only talented but dedicated. We had to reschedule out engagement pictures a few times because of weather and he was nothing but kind and flexile with us! When we took the pictures he captured us and our pups magically. Then on the BIG day he blew us away even more. I have had non stop calls and emails from family saying they are the best wedding pictures they have ever seen. Not only does he do an awesome job he makes it fun. We got to be silly and take pictures that reflected our relationship, it wasn't just all posed and blehh...he really showed and captured our love. I cannot wait to look back on these years from now and I know that it will feel like I am still there with how magically he captured our day.

Picture Perfect!
We absolutely loved working with Dustin, and would do so again in a heartbeat. Obviously his photography is amazing, which is what initially caught our eye, but he is so down to earth and fun to work with. As someone who doesn't love posing for pictures and have "photo shoots", he still managed to make both the engagement and wedding photo experiences fun and truly enjoyable. He is also super speedy at turning out the final product, we had all photos within the month of wedding, and even got previews the very next day. He was able to capture all the special moments of the wedding, as well as all the "pretty things" details. I can't stop looking at all our photos. Dustin is amazing at what he does, and my husband and I could not recommend him more! Thank you, Dustin for capturing all the love and happiness of the day in your photos!!

Dustin is amazing! We booked him during a bridal expo on a whim - we couldn't have made a better decision! He took our engagement photos as well as the wedding photos. Dustin is full of creative ideas for shots which made for really cool photos in the end. He and his second shooter were extremely professional and captured awesome images and made our guests and family members feel comfortable while taking the posed family/bridal photos. I would definitely recommend him for anyone getting married soon.

Dustin was a dream to work with. His creativity and professionalism are magnificent. He allowed us to be as creative as we wanted (which was very creative) in order to capture the most beautiful and out of the box moments for our engagement session and wedding photos. He was very engaging with us, the other vendors, and our guests. We could not be happier with the outcome of our photos. He is our photographer for LIFE!

From the second I saw Dustin's photography page on instagram I knew we had to have him as our photographer! He had the exact style we were looking for! His photos were very natural looking and didn't give that "edited" look which is what I was trying to stay away from. Dustin takes pride in his work and will do anything to get that perfect lighting or the picture perfect background. He was willing to go out of his way during our engagement photo session! He even DID THE RESEARCH and found the perfect spot for what I had in mind for pictures!
As far as the wedding photos, I couldn't not have asked for more! Him and his assistant got the best shots! I was amazed by the photos they took of our guests dancing!! They looked like they could be in a magazine! He was also very patient with our 2 dogs who we insisted had to be in tons of pictures! He somehow got the most amazing shots of my husband and I and our two dogs even though I swore they were moving too much to actually get a picture! I could ramble on for hours about how great Dustin was to work with! He was very professional and very accommodating! Definitely book Dustin for your photography needs and you will not be disappointed!!!

Dustin was wonderful to work with and he is so talented. His work speaks for itself. Dustin knows how to make the photo shoot fun and also gets down to business when he needs to. He was able to customize to our needs and he is very reasonably priced for how amazing his work is. You will not be disappointed if you hire Dustin for any of your photography needs. I will be hiring him for future life events and I look forward to working with him again.

Working with Dustin was one of the best decisions my husband and I decided on! Right before our engagement session we needed to reschedule due to some unforeseen circumstances and Dustin didn’t hesitate to accommodate!! Our pictures turned out amazing! When it came to our wedding he made sure we got certain pictures done! And made our day amazing!!
We can’t wait to book him again for special occasions!

Dustin was wonderful to work with from the very beginning! He really made the effort to find out what we were looking for in our forever photos of our wedding! It felt more like a friend then a photographer taking photos on our special day. He had some of the photos posted the day after the wedding that we are so pleased with! We can’t wait to see the rest of them!! Thank you again Dustin! -Heath and Jordan Kindle

Words can’t describe how amazing Dustin is. When we began searching around for photographers he was recommended to us by a close friend and he had amazing reviews. After meeting Dustin, we quickly decided that he was absolutely the one we wanted to capture our wedding and engagement pictures. We connected with him on a personal level and he was super easy to work with. He took all of our crazy ideas and made them reality. Some of our pictures are just breathtaking and we have had so many comments on them. Dustin is simply another caliber of photography. We had never done a photo shoot before so we were a little nervous at first but Dustin made it not just easy but a TON of fun. Sometimes taking pictures can feel awkward, but not with Dustin, it was like hanging out with a friend. We had lots of laughs and he really captured our personalities. And Dustin was not afraid to take risks. At our engagement shoot he got in the water with us (not planned) to get the right shot. At our wedding he hopped onto some rocks below the pier that were super slippery so he could capture an amazing background. I was so afraid he was going to fall in but luckily he didn’t. And on the technical side, Dustin was always on top of his timeline. After every shoot we got preview pictures within 24 hours and our wedding album came back within a month. There is a reason that Dustin is one of the most wanted photographers in the area and you can tell he truly loves what he does. We will recommend him to anyone we can. Dustin rocks!!!!

Wow! Let's start by saying Dustin's professionalism and gift as a photographer is truly impeccable. I was very picky with who I wanted to capture one of the biggest days of our lives and Dustin was it! Our wedding was supposed to be in Norfolk at the Chrysler, but because of a last minute (24 hours til wedding) cancelation due to weather, we ended up getting married at the Williamsburg Winery and Dustin stayed right with us through everything. He changed locations with us and without hesitation he was on board with all of our requests and wants for pictures at the Winery. He gives suggestions, ensures to get specific pictures wanted, he has a great attitude, and is always smiling... what's better than a photographer who is amazing at what he does AND has a great attitude while doing it. I was so nervous about taking the wedding pictures but Dustin made it so fun and relaxed that we were able to have a good time while doing it. I was able to get a preview of some pictures shortly after the wedding and they are gorgeous to say the least, I have attached a picture for you all to view! He's quick to take a good shot and he knows one when he sees one. We will be doing a post-wedding photoshoot with Dustin this Summer and I am looking forward to it! We will definitely use him for our future events.

I highly recommend Dustin Lewis to anyone planning a wedding or in need of a photographer! One of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process was having Dustin Lewis capture the magic of our day! We not only had his amazing talent, but we gained a friend! With our photo package, we had an engagement session. Dustin came out to our friend’s family farm and captured our love and the beauty of the farm flawlessly! My husband and I were nervous at first for our first photography session, however after meeting and talking with Dustin, our nerves quickly went away! We laughed and had a blast the entire time! When our wedding day arrived, Dustin arrived early and was capturing stunning shots! His expertise is unmatched! He has an eye for what will take the picture from good to excellent! We fell in love with ALL of our photos!! We truly cannot imagine our wedding day without Dustin Lewis. We plan to work with him again in the future for other photography sessions! His professionalism, talent, style, and creative ideas are exceptional! If you are in need of a stellar photographer, Dustin Lewis is your man! He will capture the magic of your wedding day beautifully!

HOLY COW! Where do I even begin with Dustin! When we first sat down with Dustin we immediately knew, he had to be the one to capture our big day! I mean seriously for your wedding day, you want the BEST, and I truly mean it when I say he is it! He makes you feel so at ease and comfortable throughout all the photos (engagement & wedding).
He honestly did so good, I can’t even put it into words! All i know is we have only seen a small handful of the photos from our wedding and I cried like a baby!! I can’t thank him enough!

In 1 word: FANTASTIC! Dustin is extremely professional, great to work with, & goes above & beyond all expectations! He truly captured all the happiness of the entire wedding event with the most amazing mix of formal & fun pictures! He was able to coordinate seamlessly with the bride & groom who live in California, the groom's family living in Florida, at the wedding in New Jersey! We can't recommend him highly enough!

Dustin is absolutely amazing. He photographed our wedding, engagement session and my husband's deployment homecoming. He was so much fun to work with, we were able to laugh and have a good time and not have everything seem to forced or posed. He always got our pictures back to us pretty quickly and not once did I ever feel even a tinge of disappointment with the results. He was super flexible when working with us - especially for certain occasions where the military made it very impossible to keep/plan certain dates and times. I couldn't imagine having had another photographer and am so grateful for him and all the work he put in for us! We will definitely be calling Dustin for ANY pictures we are planning to have done in the future!

We worked with Dustin for our wedding this spring and cannot say enough good things about him. Our photos were stunning! We absolutely love them and we look better than we ever thought we could look in photos. We had to finance the photography ourselves for our wedding and Dustin was extremely generous to make a custom package for us where we were able to have an amazing photographer! He made it possible for us to have gorgeous photos for our wedding and we'll be forever grateful. He also offered to come all the way to Philadelphia (where we live) should we decide on an engagement session and met with us to get to know us before the wedding on a Sunday when we were in town. I really can't say how much he went above and beyond for us - he made it super easy given that we were having an out of town wedding!
He was super organized and really made sure that we got the photos we wished for at our wedding. He captured everything. He was also very nice, easy going, and just fun to be around during our wedding day. Should we ever have a friend or family member getting married or be fortunate enough to have professional photos taken again in the future we will recommend Dustin! Thank you!

My husband and I hired Dustin to do our engagement session and wedding and he was AMAZING! He literally has a good eye for this and we couldn't be happier to have chosen him to capture these wonderful memories for us. Besides his great skills and talent, he was also very professional, really nice, and had a good sense of humor which made us feel comfortable the whole time!
We had our engagement pictures taken at 3 different locations; a brewery, a restaurant, and at the beach. It was cool of him to let us do that, he made it such a fun day! When it was time to take the pictures at the beach though, the weather turned rainy and gloomy (this was around hurricane Matthew). Fortunately he allowed us to re-schedule that part for a different day where it was a lot sunnier and able to capture the sunset. We were so grateful for that, he made sure our pictures would turn out perfect!
On our wedding day, Dustin and his assistant, Dmitri did a fantastic job. Both captured every moment and detail from getting ready for the wedding until the sendoff. We got our pictures on our 1 month anniversary and were so thrilled with how they came out as well. We felt as if we were re-living each moment going through each one. It was the best day of our lives and these pictures proved it :)
We highly recommend hiring Dustin for any special occasion. He knows what he's doing and he will do whatever it takes, (even laying on the shore and getting wet to get a perfect angle or skipping dinner to take pictures after a storm has gone) to get the perfect shot. He was also very fast in giving a "preview" of the pictures the day after they were taken. His prices/packages were affordable as well and worth every penny.
Thank you so much for everything, Dustin! You were so much fun to work with and made everything go smoothly and stress-free. We are so happy :)

Dustin Lewis Images was our wedding photographer and did our engagement photo session as well, creating a FABULOUS photo album used as a guest book at the wedding! He is extremely personable with a smile on his face that helped to keep my husband and I at ease. Neither of us are particularly comfortable in front of the camera, but Dustin was able to keep us happy and excited during the engagement photos and came up with the most beautiful poses and shots for the wedding. He also worked seamlessly with our other vendors which worked perfectly. We could not have picked a more fantastic photographer!
Dustin also has a top-notch work ethic in that he gets you previews of your photos extremely quickly! We got to see a preview of our wedding photos the morning after the wedding before we lost service on our honeymoon! We highly recommend Dustin Lewis Images to any couple looking for stunning photos from a genuinely fun and awesome guy!

We just received our photos back from our wedding and are over the moon with the work Dustin did!! He captured every moment. It seems he was everywhere by looking at the pictures. Not only did he do a great job with the photos he was awesome to work with. He kept us laughing and made everyone feel very comfortable. We would highly recommend him for any photography occasion you may need!

We had an awesome engagement session with Dustin! He spent a ton of time with us going all over Brooklyn, NY (where we live and fell in love), and our pictures are astoundingly beautiful! We literally love so many of them, it's impossible to choose which ones we want to frame. :) Our wedding is in a few months, and we feel so confident that those photos will be amazing too. The other thing that was awesome is that Dustin has family in NJ, so he came all the way up here without charging for his travel. We thought that was truly above and beyond. As a bride who lives in NY and has been planning a wedding in Va Beach, it's been scary picking vendors so far away. Dustin calmed all our fears, and he's by far the best photographer! We have had so many people ask us for his information because they want to work with him too.

First of all, I am incredibly critical of myself. So when I got my wedding portraits back, I held my breath. I don't know what I was thinking because THEY WERE AWESOME!!! Dustin was amazing through the entire process. He took our engagement pictures as well as our wedding. He's a lot of fun, laid back, but not too laid back. I wanted someone to direct me, but not overly so. He was perfect. Thinking back, I barely saw him at the wedding/reception. That's how it should be! During the dances and the sweet moments, I had no idea he was there, but he captured everything! Our wedding was at the beach, so we took pictures on the sand. I normally am not that into beach photography, but I am so glad we did! Those are my favorite pictures. He really does have a great eye, and he makes it such an easy-going experience. Thank you so much for making our day a beautiful memory.

We were referred to Dustin Lewis Images by both friends and our venue's wedding coordinator and we cannot be happier with their referral! Our first meeting with Dustin was at his studio where he was really interested in just getting to know my husband and I. He was our first and last photographer that we met with! We loved him and his photography style, as he strives to capture the true candid moments. We (both my husband and I) are not great picture people, and literally needed Dustin to guide us and at times place us in "unposed" positions! He was/is so patient and really took our ideas and ran with them... literally we ran in our pictures! Between our engagement session and wedding, my best friend got married and had Dustin as her photographer, and it was amazing to see him work behind the scenes throughout the day and it made us even more excited to have him shoot our big day!! We got married the weekend Hurricane Matthew decided to grace us with his presence and Dustin was determined to turn lemons into lemonade! We were so lucky the weather turned around and we came out with the most amazing pictures to capture our wedding!! Our second photographer Dmitry was also amazing and worked so well with our group and with Dustin!
Dustin, it was truly an honor getting to know you over the past year! We will continue to sing your praise!! Thank you! Sarah & Adam

Excellent. Wonderful. Fun. Talented. As great as these words are, they don’t come close to touching Dustin and his work. Dustin Lewis Images is exceptional and if he has your date open – book him. You will be thankful every day that you did.
My Husband and I live in Tampa, Florida, but were married in Virginia Beach. We had never met Dustin, only reviewed his portfolio online – which we loved. His style really matched what we were looking for. We started planning about a year and a half out from our date – and lucky for us, he was still available! Dustin was so easy to communicate with – even four states away – we were constantly emailing and calling each other – he even Face Timed us so we could “meet”!
Not even 24 hours after our wedding, Dustin had 22 “sneak peak” photos for us. While looking at the photos, my Husband and I agreed that if these were the only photos that we received from Dustin, it was worth every penny. The images took our breath away. We are NOT models, but with Dustin’s talent, minor tips, and direction, everyone who looks at our pictures, says we look like we belong in a wedding magazine.
These are pictures we will have for the rest of our lives and pictures that we will share with our family, our children, and someday, our grandchildren. We keep saying that we had a “dream team” of vendors for our wedding, and that absolutely would not have been close to complete without Dustin Lewis Images.
We could not be more grateful for Dustin’s attention to detail, eye for beauty, and his love and passion for what he does – which shows through his work. We would happily, and easily, recommend Dustin Lewis Images for any event, any day of the year.
We love Dustin, our family is still talking about how much they love Dustin. It’s impossible to put a price on capturing the memories that you, your spouse, your family, and friends will have forever. Dustin Lewis Images made our wedding day pictures priceless.
Thank you Dustin!!

Dustin has worked with 4+ other couples we know personally, so we already knew we loved his work. And he came highly recommended by all four couples, so I was already excited to meet him. My (now) husband and I went out to his studio (first time I formally met him), and yes - I fell in love immediately. He is so easy to talk to and I thought "I could definitely spend my wedding day with Dustin." We signed the contract that day with zero hesitation because we both felt so good about him. The day of, I told my mom and my sister, "you're going to love Dustin, wait til you meet him." They both have very high expectations and they soon realized why we chose Dustin. He spent the day with the ladies while we were getting ready and he was such a gentleman and kept it light, giggling at our girl talk, he was so fun from the start. Once we moved into the family pictures, he was all business and respected the timeline, which I was so appreciative of. And then during the reception, he he was there to capture every crazy moment between both families - you can tell he loves what he does. I can't speak more highly of Dustin and I'm so grateful for his quality of work, professionalism and exceptional customer service. He has seriously blown us away. You will NOT regret choosing him.

Dustin far exceeded our expectations in providing outstanding photography from our engagement shoot (at the Botanical Gardens), to our wedding prep, ceremony, and reception (at the Lesner Inn). My husband and I first spoke with Dustin through Skype as we were planning our Virginia Beach wedding all the way from Pittsburgh. He went above and beyond in providing recommendations for many aspects of the wedding day and vendors in the area. Dustin is truly a wedding guru and conducts himself in a relaxed professional manner at all times. I have only positive words to say about his services and highly recommend him for your wedding day! Bravo Zulu.

There are no words to express how happy my fiancé...now husband and my family and entire wedding were about Dustin! He made us laugh through the stressful times and kept me smiling when I got overwhelmed! His pictures are the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen in my life! We came into this as amateurs of being photographed and by the end of the night we were experts of when to kiss, when to dance, how to redo a shot so it looked like it had just happened.... The list could go on and on!!! He even went out of his way to get us some outside shots in the middle of a rainstorm! I would recommend him.... Which I have (he did a senior photo shoot for an old friend's daughter) to anyone needing photography services! Thank you Dustin, for giving me the best memories from my engagement and most importantly my wedding!!!
Love Michelle and Jack Schoemaker
and family!!!

Words cannot describe the photos that Dustin took, but I will try my best. From the day we sat in his studio we bought into the genius that is Dustin Lewis Images. Our engagement session was amazing and the photos that came from that set a very high expectation for how our photos would look on the big day. However Dustin shattered those expectations when we received the final copy of our wedding photos. This photographer is the Michelangelo of photography in the sense that every photo an absolute masterpiece. He has an extreme attention to detail that captures every special moment that normal photographers may miss. If you get the opportunity and the privilege to book Dustin be prepared to witness photographic greatness. With this photographer I promise you that you will have photos that you will cherish for a lifetime.

We were so happy that we choose Dustin to photograph our wedding. There could simply not have been a better choice. Dustin is extremely professional, yet so fun to work with. You will not be disappointed. Our guests loved him as well. Dustin definitely "captured the moment", and I was so impressed with the quality of his shots. He takes care to make sure he has the perfect shot and the perfect timing. He took a sunset photo of my husband and I that was amazing. We give Dustin our highest recommendation. Darlene & Lee

As I was planning a wedding from out-of-town, it was especially important for me to find vendors who could be very accommodating. Well, I definitely found this and more with Dustin. With his packages, you have the option for an engagement photo shoot, which did not initially think we would do with him because we live 6 hours away. However, Dustin was able to come to us without charging for travel since we live close to his family. I am so glad he came up with this option- I didn't even think to ask! For our 3 hour engagement shoot, we had a blast shooting photos all over the city of Philadelphia. Dustin made sure we got all the photos and background we wanted as we went shot photos in about 4 locations. I'm so glad we did our engagement shoot with Dustin so my groom would be more comfortable with all the photos for our wedding.
For our wedding, I completely trusted Dustin's opinion and decisions about what to shoot and when to shoot. He made a suggestion that we move up one event planned during the reception because of the lighting, and from evidence of the photos- he was so right! He knows exactly what he is doing and really helped me wrap my brain around the timeline for the day. I can't say enough positive things about working with Dustin! His packages are a greatly value and we are so pleased with the end results. Thank you, Dustin! -Rachael & Mike

If you are getting married and are looking for the BEST photographer around then you need to book Dustin Lewis! Dustin is extremely talented and passionate about what he does. He truly enjoys his job which shows in his amazing photos! He is extremely professional and the easiest person to work with. He listened to all of our requests and also provided great recommendations to make sure we had the perfect wedding! I’ll be the first to say that I am not a fan of taking pictures, but Dustin makes taking pictures FUN and enjoyable no matter what! From the engagement pictures to our wedding pictures it was just a fun time working along with Dustin. All of our pictures are amazing. He does a great job taking the traditional pictures, but what blew us away were the action pictures that he was able to capture. Dustin is extremely creative and will do whatever it takes to make sure he captures the perfect pictures for his clients! If you are looking for the BEST photographer around and want to work with just a kind hearted person then Dustin is your guy! Thanks for capturing the best day of our lives and providing us with the memories that will last a lifetime! –Jimmy & Mak

Dustin was amazing to work with. Multiple people at the wedding made comments about what a great photographer we had. He was alot of fun while remaining professional. He was great at working with our large wedding party and ring bearer. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Our pictures turned out better than we could have imagined. They were returned when he said they would be and were on a USB drive and he even printed some pictures put for us. I don't regret hiring Dustin and neither will you. He's awesome! We look forward to using him again for pictures once we start a family!

Dustin Lewis is an amazing photographer! He worked with us and captured beautiful moments we can cherish forever! He is not only amazingly talented but professional and kind hearted. He even printed some 8×10 photos for us with our usb of all our photos. He gives you previews of some of the photos the next day and they only got better from there exactly at the time he promised them by! You will not regret hiring Dustin Lewis Images to ensure you have quality and professionalism to save the amazing moments you want captured for a lifetime! We will definitely be using him again for other important events we want captured in my husband and I's life!

Dustin was absolutely amazing! Our engagement pictures and wedding photos turned out amazing. He was even kind enough to deliver my reception photo book to my work! My wedding party and guests are still raving about how energetic and interactive he was in order to get the best pictures possible. One of my bridesmaids actually booked him for her wedding this summer!

Dustin is amazing!! He was so easy to work with and so personable. I work in the hospitality industry, so he was really great at working around my schedule. He even allowed me to do 2 shorter engagement sessions because I had to run back to work after one of them. He's so personable, and makes the awkward-long-smiling photographs fun and easy. I definitely recommend him to everyone!

I don’t even know where to start. Dustin is hands down amazing! I first worked with Dustin when I was a bridesmaid in my best friend’s wedding. I saw what a remarkable job he did and I recommended him to my brother and sister-in-law for their wedding, where I worked closely for I was again a bridesmaid. I could not wait for the day it would be my turn to be the Bride. That day came June 22nd 2014 when we got engaged. Before we set the date I contacted Dustin to find out his availability. We based our wedding day according to this. I did not care about any other vendor as long as I had Dustin Lewis shooting our wedding. My only worry was I no longer lived in VA Beach. I was thrilled that he was more than happy to travel to Northern VA for our special day.
We shot our engagement photos in the VA Beach/Norfolk area. He was very helpful in sending us ideas and was very accommodating in our ideas. We had 4 outfit changes and shot in 4 different areas. He made us feel very comfortable which was great because my husband wasn’t comfortable posing for photos.
The photos are amazing and perfectly commemorate our special day. That day went by so fast and the photos are all we have to remember it. So if you want amazing photos to help highlight your special day I high recommend Dustin Lewis.

YOU NEED TO BOOK DUSTIN!! Not only is he so awesome and down to earth and fun but his pictures are phenomenal! Pictures were a big deal to me when planning my wedding and I had met with a bunch of photographers just based on their portfolios. Dustin portfolio online was great but once I met with him I knew that he was the right photographer for us. And man was I right. He was the perfect mix of fun and professional. We kind of had somewhat of a crazy group and he managed us very well so we stayed on time but still got all the shots we needed. During the pictures after the ceremony he knocked out all the pictures I wanted and gave us direction for a few other pictures as well. And I have to mention we were taking pictures down on the virginia beach boardwalk and he managed to get NO ONE in the background of our pictures. The craziest part about that is that there were hotel guests behind us while we were down there. And at our reception you could tell he was just having fun doing what he loves to do! And I think he got some great shots because of it. Once we got all our pictures back (which took no time at all by the way!) we were so blown away by all of them. Its definitely going to be hard to pick which ones we want for our album! Definitely definitely definitely book Dustin for your wedding you will NOT regret it!

Dustin did an amazing job photographing my wedding and engagement photos. Dustin was the photographer for my sister-in-law's wedding in 2013, and when my husband and I got engaged a year later, we knew that we wanted Dustin to photograph our wedding too. Even though our wedding was in the DC area, about 4 hours away from Dustin's office in Virginia Beach, he enthusiastically agreed to photograph our wedding. And we're so glad he did. Both the engagement photos and wedding photos turned out perfectly. We had a fall wedding, and Dustin took advantage of the beautiful scenery. On top of that, he was very easy to work with and fun to be around. We would highly recommend him.

AMAZIIIIIIIING!!! BEYOND TALENTED!!!! Dustin from start to finish went above and beyond with us. He communicated exceptionally and gave the most spectacular engagement as well as wedding pictures. His presentation of our photos and our usb was so professional and really special. We definitely felt like we were the only couple he was working with. We referred Dustin to another couple too and they raved about their pictures. You really know when you have picked the right photographer when everyone else (friends, family and bridal party Braggg!). Dustin will take amazing care of you, great listener, responds quickly, has great ideas and opinions, and a totally FUN guy to be around. He is by far exceptional in communicating and delivering on what he promises. THANK YOU DUSTIN for the most incredible memories of our Wedding Year!!! YOU ARE SOOOOOO TALENTED! - Kristin and Thomas

We met Dustin Lewis at the Lesner Inn Open House and we were immediately set on him. When we booked the Lesner Inn we based our date around when Dustin was free! My husband and I are both really shy so we wanted someone we would feel comfortable with. Dustin matched our style perfectly and has the patience of a Saint! It took a while for Nick and I to warm up to having our picture taken but Dustin helped us so much. We shot our engagement pictures with him in Downtown Norfolk too and we absolutely loved them. He has the best eye when taking pictures. At the wedding our family and guests were so impressed with him, as were we! Even Dustin's assistant, Kelly, was awesome! We are so thankful for him and we can't wait to see the rest of the wedding pictures!

Dustin Lewis was one of three photographers recommended to us by our wedding planner. Of the three, we were most impressed by Dustin’s website, portfolio, and value. Upon meeting with him we knew he would be perfect for our wedding! He is an amazing and talented photographer; he listened to everything we wanted while using creative license and was incredibly flexible. We were so comfortable with his work that we also hired him to shoot Michael’s USCG retirement ceremony in May 2015 before we had even done our engagement session; the photos were excellent! Dustin did a great job of including all of the locations that were meaningful to us for our engagement session; the photos and guest book were beautiful! On our wedding day he was wonderful, professional, and he and his assistant Kelly were working hard to beautifully capture our magical night! We are so happy to have chosen Dustin Lewis as our wedding photographer! – Heather and Michael

Dustin is so great! He listens to what you want and he's very flexible. He's also super efficient which I appreciated as a bride who likes to stick to the schedule! I already knew his work was top notch when I saw it online, however, I was still overwhelmed by how beautiful the photos were. I especially love the candids! I would DEFINITELY recommend him to any bride who is looking for the perfect photographer.

I am so happy that Dustin photographed our wedding! I had the honor of working with Dustin over 9 years ago and when he was recommended to me by my wedding planner, I didn't hesitate and immediately booked him without a consultation, because I knew that we would be in great hands. My husband and I met with him about a month before the wedding so we could talk about how the day would go, and it went exactly the way we hoped. My husband isn't a huge picture person, but Dustin was able to make him feel comfortable on the day of our wedding and it really showed in our pictures. Dustin was so creative, fun, and stealth! He got great action shots that I didn't even know were happening until I saw our pictures. Basically, you can't go wrong with hiring Dustin and I already am planning to book Dustin for an anniversary shoot :)

Dustin came recommended by one of our other vendors. I contacted him right away and then I met him at the Vow Bridal show about a week later. I knew right away I wanted to hire him so I booked with him that day! I brought my husband to meet him the next day and I knew there was an instant connection between them which meant everything to me. My husband had not shown too much attention to the wedding planning, but when we left that meeting he told me he was so excited to work with Dustin and that I had made a great decision in choosing him! From our engagement pics to the wedding, Dustin was more than accommodating to us! We have so much fun every time he is around! He mad us feel totally comfortable and brought our photo ideas to life! He went above and beyond to make us happy. We got our photos back and we are so in love with them! They are better than we ever even imagined they could be thanks to him! You will definitely get your money's worth with choosing Dustin, I know we are completely happy with the decision to have him for our wedding!

Dustin was recommended by a friend and we couldn't me more happy with our decision to use his services for our wedding. From the beginning, he was very interested in specific shots or styles of photography we were looking for on the day which helped us to figure out what we wanted and him to bring it to life. Him and his assistant made us very comfortable on the day and took charge in capturing all the details we had put together while being sensitive to any special requests we asked of him on the day of. When we received our photos, we were very happy with the quality and enjoyed reliving the day as we looked through them all. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for high quality professional work for their wedding or special event! Thanks Dustin!

Dustin was the very FIRST vendor I hired for my wedding and I am SO glad I did. I met him at the VOW bridal show and just knew that he would be perfect, even after meeting all the others. My (now) husband and I met with him later that week and we were sold. He even honored his bridal show special for us! He is very personable and professional and fun all at the same time. I feel like you have to really have a connection with your photographer. Besides your fiancé, they are one of the people with you the most throughout the entire day.... capturing all your vulnerable moments: exchanging vows, crying, kissing your new husband/wife, making a fool of yourself on the dance floor, etc. I felt completely comfortable with Dustin and felt I could be myself around him throughout it all. I even told him at our very first meeting about my insecurities and what angles to shoot/avoid! He is definitely all about you as he knows that you are hiring him for the long term affect... to view these pictures years from now or to show your kids and be proud of them so he ensures you get what you want. Dustin even presents a BEAUTIFUL display/gift when giving you your pictures... I won't spoil it here :) Overall I was very impressed and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great photographer.

Dustin was outstanding through the entire wedding process. From our engagement photos to candid shots on the dance floor, he did anything and everything needed to get the best possible pictures. When I caught a glimpse of him lying commando style on the ground at the Hermitage just so he could get a full shot of the ceremony, I knew we made the right choice. We were completely thrilled with every aspect of his service and would highly recommend him to anyone!

As soon as we got engaged, a friend, who recently got married, send me an email raving about Dustin. Everything she said was 100% true! We got married April 18, 2015 and could not be any more pleased with Dustin’s work. He was a pleasure to work with prior to and the day of our wedding. We had a list of “must have” pictures which were taken in a timely manner so we were not gone for hours, while our guest waited for us to be introduced. When the sun began to set (perfectly!) Dustin made sure to grab us to run outside for a few more shots. Which turned out just beautiful! The night was a big party and he captured all the craziness!! If you are looking for a laid back but extremely professional photographer, Dustin is your person!!

Dustin Lewis is an amazing photographer. He captured the best day of my life and even with the rain they were the best pictures I have ever seen. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He made the whole process fun and comfortable.

Dustin Lewis is an absolutely amazing photographer. Not only did he capture every moment perfectly, he had fun doing it! He didn't just stand around and take pictures, he took the time to get to know not only me & my husband, but the whole wedding party and guests. From engagement pictures, bridal portraits to wedding day pictures, I was never disappointed in a single picture Dustin took. He had amazing ideas and went above and beyond to make us happy. I couldn't have picked anyone better to capture the memories!

We got married in Aruba on 8/16/14, and we just had to have Dustin as our photographer, based on seeing his work and hearing so many outstanding reviews. Dustin was very enthusiastic about shooting his first destination wedding and flew all the way to Aruba for us!
Our wedding pictures are unbelievably gorgeous! On top of that, he was extremely professional, fun to work with, and we even had his beautiful daughter be our flower girl :) We also had a great time celebrating with Dustin and his wife all weekend!
We have received so many compliments on our photos; many going so far as to say they are jealous that they didn't have such a great photographer for their wedding pictures. It makes an incredible difference as to who is behind the camera! We are so happy we decided to get Dustin to Aruba, rather than go with someone we didn't know from there. We highly recommend Dustin Lewis Images. You will not be disappointed!

Dustin was our photographer for our engagement session and for our wedding day. He was absolutely amazing and flexible which my husband and I both loved. He was willing to spend all day with us for our engagement shoot so that we could both get what we wanted. My husband wanted to a city feel while I wanted a more rural setting! He captured both scenes for us perfectly!
Our wedding photos came out exactly how we wanted it. We told Dustin what we like and wanted and he gave us exactly that! Our guests loved our photos via FB and IG and even mentioned how they wish their photographer would have taken more shots the way Dustin did.
The value you get from Dustin's package is seriously almost unbeatable! Our photo book he created was awesome and I received the cutest dvd case for ALL the pictures along with printed copies! Dustin was awesome and I'd recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing photographer!

Dustin is an absolutely amazing and talented photographer! He is so much fun to work with but at the same time a true professional. In our search for a photographer I compiled a list of over 30 professionals and weeded them out for one reason or another one by one. In the end Dustin had the best value, the most amazing images, and best personality. We could not have made a better selection. Dustin fit in with our wedding party and felt like one of our friends. He had the wonderful Will Hawkins as his second shooter, who also fit right in. I am so grateful to have found such a talented and fun photographer for our special day! I would choose him all over again if I had it to. We got our images back from both our engagement shoot and wedding in a timely manor and he even hand delivered both sets of images to me at work so I wouldn't have to wait any longer to see them. I can not express my gratitude and love for the wonderful images Dustin shot. I told him from the very beginning how important photos are since in the end they are all you have left besides the memories. I know that I will treasure his work for the rest of my life.

Dustin was fantastic. He was so flexible and took our suggestions into consideration without letting it mess up his eye. We changed the engagement pictures up on him and he was willing to work with us. I told him that the days we spent with him were like days hanging out with an old college buddy... with amazing talent. The most important part of the review... his shots were fantastic and we would have gladly put up with more of a diva just for his eye. We didn't have to do so because Dustin is so friendly and the consummate professional. We are no longer VA Beach-based, but you can't go wrong with hiring Dustin. His prices are totally reasonable on top of the beautiful pics you get by hiring him. Thanks, Dustin, our good friend.

Dustin is awesome! I was in a wedding for a great friend and he was the photographer. He was great! And the second I became engaged, I knew we had to have Dustin as our wedding photographer. He is such a joy to have around! Our engagement photos and wedding photos are absolutely perfect. I love looking back at them and the memories they have with them. My brother is getting married in 2015 and has hired Dustin as his photographer...3rd times a charm!

It was such a pleasure working with Dustin! His professionalism and personality are top notch. I had a really tricky schedule the day of the wedding and didn't think we'd be able to shoot at the location I had my heart set on. He figured out the logistics and worked everything out perfectly. We are so happy with our pictures and can't wait to get our albums made. He captured so many beautiful moments that we'll never forget :) Thanks Dustin!

Dustin is amazing!! He was professional and personalable! He made everyone feel comfortable and of course took goregous photographs. His creative use of the area was genius. I met Dustin through my bridesmaid and he traveled to New York for her wedding and to Maryland for mine! I could not have asked for a better photographer!! He was very quick to respond to emails and answer questions. If you want beautiful pictures and a great photographer, Dustin Lewis Images is the best choice.

Dustin is one of the most amazing people to work with - not only does he take insanely wonderful photos, but his calming demeanor was perfect for our vow renewal. He turned around the photos fast for us to preview, and I'd recommend him to anyone. Thank you again!

I cannot stress enough how much you should work with him! He was very cool, flexible with our needs and so amazing the day of because he actually made us have a great time while taking so many pictures. Not to mention that I was late so everything was delayed but he worked with it amazingly well. I just got my pictures today and they are beautiful! And another great feature, I didn't have to pay a fortune for such an amazing service and quality so definitely consider Dustin Lewis Images before working with anyone else! I could go on and on about how much we enjoyed working with him so bottom line: Hire Dustin Lewis Images. ;)

Dustin was recommended to us by a friend and I am beyond thankful for that recommendation! Dustin is not only incredibly talented but he is so helpful and flexible with what we wanted. They stayed with us ALL day and captured every moment of our wedding day! I couldn't have asked for more beautiful photographs. We are looking forward to working with him in the future for more special occasions to come!
