Dustin Finkelstein Photography

We hired Dustin as our engagement & wedding photographer and we were pretty pleased with the results! He was easy to work with, always prompt to respond to any communication, and his prices were just right for our budget. He made us feel comfortable and natural during the engagement shoot and it really comes through in the photos. I think our wedding was a bit more challenging. It was only 3 hours, and on a boat, so space was somewhat tight. Right at golden hour he managed to pull us out of the blur of festivities and got some of my favorite shots ever of my husband and I. He also got our photos to us at lightning speed! There were a lot of amazing photos overall but I do think there were some gaps that maybe a second photographer could have helped fill. Dustin guarantees a range of the number of photos you’ll receive and ours ended up being almost the minimum amount which was somewhat disappointing. If I could plan it over again I would ask for less detail shots, like the several I got of my shoes and our rings etc. and put more emphasis on our family, friends and surroundings. I only mean for this to be constructive criticism as we were overall very happy and we appreciate all of his hard work. I’m glad we have so many great photos to remember our wedding!

We hired Dustin as the photographer for our wedding last month. He was exactly what we were looking for — laid-​back, easy to work with, and very accommodating.
The package we selected included a bridal portrait session — which I was not planning to do (mainly because putting on my wedding dress/​makeup twice sounded like torture) so Dustin let us swap out the bridal session a few hours of photographing the rehearsal dinner! This was the night my fiancée and I had chosen to wear our traditional Middle Eastern clothes (instead of wearing them for the wedding), and it was great to have professional photos documenting the evening.
At the wedding itself, Dustin and his assistant were great. They took care of all the detail photographs while we were getting ready. We’d made a list of photos we wanted to be sure to take, and they definitely delivered — he even reminded me of some shots I’d wanted to take but had forgotten about as the night wore on. Dancing was a big part of our reception, and Dustin and his assistant took some INCREDIBLE dance floor shots. Everyone looked like a rock star. Seriously.
Invariably, every single person with whom we have shared our photos says «Your photographer was amazing!». That about sums it up!

Dustin shot my engagements, bridals, rehearsal dinner, wedding and after party and did a great job! He was so easy to work with and very flexible. His wife shoots with him on wedding days and she was great too. I always got the pictures back quickly. I had a pretty rambunctious wedding party not to mention there was 11 groomsmen and 12 bridesmaids. Ridiculous I know. He was very patient and never got overwhelmed. The weekend of our wedding was very cold and raining and the venue was entirely outside. He was able to still capture lots of great pictures even with all the bad weather. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family for any photography needs. Thank you so much Dustin!!!
