After interviewing quite a few photographers for our May wedding in Sonoma, CA, we chose with Amy & Dusty and have no regrets! The husband-wife duo plus the fact that they also offer videography in some of their packages at an affordable cost made it an easy decision, and in the end we are very satisfied with how everything turned out. We had a couple of calls ahead of our big day to get to know them and vice versa, so when it came to our wedding day they were well prepared and our expectations had been set. The pair arrived even earlier than they had promised at the salon that my crew and I were getting hair and makeup done, and stayed until just after dark when everyone's prime had passed :). One thing I really appreciated from our last prep call was outlining our "must-have" and "nice-to-have" lists. This made wedding party/family pics very smooth, efficient and quick as to not spare any precious time for us or our guests. In hindsight, I would have moved a few more to the "must-have" list, and would have also had more of an opinion on where to get some shots on the winery property, but overall we are very happy with every shot they took. Some of the candids they captured are truly stunning and their creativity with the album they created is impressive. Dusty knew when he needed to be vocal and take charge (i.e. during group pics with a family of 25+ people!), but also when to hang back and blend into the surroundings. Amy's artistic side came through in so many shots, but especially those we did at sunset. We haven't gotten our video yet, but given I cannot tear myself away from looking at the photo catalog over and over again, I'm certain it will be a masterpiece that we will cherish forever. Amy & Dusty were low-maintenance, funny and enjoyable to work with. I would definitely recommend them for an event in the wine country area, especially at their price point!
We couldn't have asked for better photographers for our wedding this year! They were excellent at communicating and were punctual and professional. They also add an element of friendliness and humor that makes taking photos for a few hours fun and memorable. Very thankful for the time and care taken to get all the amazing shots that captured the magic of our special day.
My husband and I worked with Amy and Dusty for our September 2022 wedding in Santa Rosa. Amy and Dusty were amazing to work with. Not only did they take beautiful photos but they are also fantastic to work with, because they bring a great vibe and make the formal photo taking process feel comfortable and fun. Several of our guests were raving about them and loved working with them. You should hire Amy and Dusty!!
My husband and I worked with Amy and Dusty for our backyard wedding in July. From our initial phone call to talk about our vision we felt at ease and comfortable expressing what we wanted and what we were hoping to capture for the day. We didn’t end up doing many of the traditional wedding rituals and they were so positive and light hearted about our choices.
On the day of, Amy and Dusty were warm, professional, fun to be around and made all of our organized picture moments seamless. They took initiative in capturing intimate moments of our friends and family, and were creative in getting beautiful shots of our unusual ceremony set up. They also got some of the most fantastic pictures of the florals, the food, the yard - and the best candids of our guests. We are absolutely in love with our photographs from our wedding, and we will cherish them for life.
The day of the wedding was such a whirlwind and we are so grateful to have our beautiful photographs to remember it by. We only have positive things to say about our experience and we can’t recommend working with Amy and Dusty enough!!
I am SOOOO pleased with Amy and Dusty's work. I really appreciate how professional, attentive, creative, responsive, and humorous they were through out the moment we hired them and even after we received our final wedding video!
On our wedding day, it rained, hailed, and very windy, so I was extremely disappointed with the weather and nervous with how the photos would come out. I was so hopeless that I honestly did not even have an expectation. To my surprise, my wedding photos came out AMAZING and I literally have zero complaints! I mean, literally, they take amazing photos; they are fun to work with; they give you many ideas on how to pose; they respond very quickly. What else can you ask for! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Amy and Dusty for everyone in NorCal!! Amy and Dusty, it was such a pleasure working with you and thank you so much for you guys' amazing photos and videos! So happy!
Amy and Dusty are like poetry in motion when they work. We barely noticed they were there and they anticipated each step and need along the way. They were organized, had great communication, and made sure every little detail was taken care of. We absolutely would hire them again in a heartbeat.
Where do I even begin about Amy & Dusty? From the moment we first spoke on the phone I knew we had to hire them for all of our photography and videography needs. They really get to know you and your fiancé and make you feel so comfortable. We travelled over an hour to the most perfect spot for our engagement photos and they came out incredible. It started snowing during it and they were troopers through us being late, it being really cold and our cranky boys. Our wedding- WOW!! They were more than willing to do any last minute changes and photos we wanted/needed. We had originally planned for no first look but had to change due to weather and so glad we did. I cannot wait to get our video back, but after the incredible photos we received I know the video will be just as amazing. Thank you Amy & Dusty!! You guys really went above and beyond and added so much more joy to our day. Dusty tells the funniest jokes and Amy is so understanding and compassionate. She even spent time doing every single button on my wedding dress. Incredible people and amazing work. Trust me, hire them, you will not be disappointed!
Dusty and Amy are the best photographers out there! They gave us tons of suggestions for vendors and venues when we didn’t even know where to start. Our wedding was unfortunately cancelled 5 weeks prior and we rescheduled our wedding to another state. Amy and Dusty didn’t hesitate at all to travel over 800 miles to photograph our wedding with only an 8 week notice. Our pictures turned out amazing and we will always use Drozian for our photography needs!
Drozian Photoworks was a pleasure to work with! Amy and Dusty were so friendly, great at communicating, and they made the entire process painless. They knew how to get the shots they needed and were excellent at giving directions. Due to COVID we had to reschedule three times with them and they were always ready and willing to meet our schedule. Our engagement and wedding photos turned out absolutely beautiful! We highly recommend putting your trust in Amy and Dusty to capture your special day!
Hands down the best photographers you could ask for! We’ve been to and in quite a few weddings and have seen many photographers and they don’t even come close! You also get two photographers because it is a husband and wife combo. Not only are they there to capture all the best moments of your special day but they are there any time you need before to help guide you in your planning and give great advice! They made the day flow by with ease and you didn’t even know they were there getting great shots as the night went on. I could go on forever about these two! If I could give anyone advice for your wedding it’s make sure you have great photographers they can make or break a wedding. There’s is no one else I would recommend more than Drozian Photoworks!!!!
Easily the best experience! Amy and Dusty are super personable, organized, fun, and very talented at their craft. They captured our wedding day PERFECTLY!! We highly recommend them to anyone and are excited to use them for future family photos! Thanks Amy and Dusty!!
When my husband and I first started planning our wedding, there was no question who we wanted our photographers to be. Family and friends had highly recommended Drozian Photoworks and after viewing their work, we were so excited to contact them. We purchased their package that included engagement and wedding day pictures and I cannot rave about each set of photos enough. They captured our love perfectly in each shoot while capturing the unique setting and vibe of each event. Dusty and Amy are a complete pleasure and joy to work with. Choose Drozian Photoworks for any of your photography needs, you will not regret your decision!
From the moment I first met Amy and Dusty as the maid of honor in my best friend' wedding, I knew that when it was my turn to get engaged and married, I wanted them to be the one to capture our special day. They are a true team, professional beyond belief but also able to be silly and joke around to help loosen the mood on what is undoudtedly one of the best days of your life , but also a very stressful one. They helped make my husband and I relax while taking pictures as we both have never really had professional pictures done and learned we definitely aren't naturals in front of the camera. One very important thing that we talked about was not wanting to miss too much of our cocktail party and reception. We are paying for this awesome party why should we have to miss it, right? Before the big day we reviewed the day of time line with them and also developed shot list with them of must have photos. Day of this made everything run smoothly and we were able to bust out all the family photos after the ceremony in under 30 mins and off to the party we went. We had decided to do a first look which was beautifully captured and most of our individual and bridal party pictures were done then. But as the bride, we always want those sunset photos. They were able to very quickly between the salad and entree courses sneak us away for probably no longer than 15 minutes and capture those memories for us. The turn around on the pictures was surprisingly fast, we had a sneak peek in less than a week and they full album I want to say in about about a month. They were also very helpful in editing the color in one set of photos that were taken at a difficult time of day it the sun. Everyone was looking a little orange and in less then a day I had new ones sent with some adjustments that were perfect. I could go on and on about Amy and Dusty, but all you really need to know is this, they are more than wedding photographers. Their passion and love for weddings and photography are very apparent. They balance each others eye and creativity to help make the perfect shot. They go above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that your special day is as perfect as it could be and that you not only have memories to look back on but that you also have everything you need that day. I look forward to hopefully working with them again in the future to help capture our family over the years.
Amy and Dusty are phenomenal wedding photographers! They are amazing at what they do and have such a creative eye. They captured so many great memories that will last our lifetime. They are very professional and have so many wonderful ideas and suggestions. They are a wonderful couple to work with and made us feel more at ease with the confidence and experience they shared on our wedding day. They both go above and beyond to make the entire day go as any bride/groom could hope for. I highly recommend Drozian Photoworks.
We had Dusty and Amy do both our engagement and wedding photos. The engagement session we brought our 3 dogs, which should have been stressful and challenging, but they did amazing! We got tons of great photos with our fur babies and were able to include them in our celebrations this way. On our wedding day they were so relaxing and helpful. Amy helped wrap the bouquets (definitely went above and beyond to be helpful) and Dusty kept reminding me to eat. Our photos came out awesome. We also got the highlights video, which I have watched over and over. They really captured the feeling of the event and got all the photos that we wanted without being intrusive at all. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone, they are so fun and easy to work with. Very high quality photos and photo albums.
Any and Dusty are amazing! They help your throughout your entire wedding! Not only are the photos they take absolutely stunning, but they make sure you are taken care of the day of your wedding, including making sure you have food and water (something that is easy to forget on the big day)! Thank you guys! You’re the best!
Dusty, Amy and Austin were beyond amazing on our wedding day! We were slated for a perfect, sunny, 70 degree day, which (after the ceremony) quickly turned to thunder and lightening storms, hail storms and a nearby tornado... unheard of in the Sacramento Area. We booked both video and photography with them. Not only have we seen some AMAZING previews of shots from our wedding, but they were constantly by our side to document the day, make sure we were drinking water, had any other beverages we wanted, making sure we were eating and helping keep it fun. Definitely members of your wedding day team that you need to have and we can't imagine the day without them!
Dusty and Amy are fabulous! They are very easy to work with and are excellent at making you feel comfortable and relaxed. Not to mention, they are a wealth of information for all things wedding related! An excellent team to have at your side when the wedding day craziness ensues. When I look at my wedding pictures I am so thankful I made the right choice in Amy and Dusty, they captured it beautifully.
We have used Dusty and Amy for our engagement photos, wedding photos, maternity photos, and family photos with our kids. They are our go to photographers- they are great to work with, and their photos are outstanding. I can’t wait to have another reason to take pictures again!
These people are AMAZING. They helped keep everything on track and were super supportive through the entire process. The pictures were amazing and our guests couldn't stop gushing about how amazing our photographers are! BOOK THEM NOW!
I do not even know where to begin! Drozian is the best! Amy and Dusty (and you can’t forget Austin the videographer) are the best team. They make your day go so smoothly while also checking in with you constantly! Dusty is always prepared if anyone needs anything from a snack, water, to Bobby pins. Amy is so creative with all of images and ideas and helps direct you in the most flattering positions! I feel lucky I had them photograph my wedding!
Wow... I don't know where to begin! Dusty and Amy are an amazing team! Chris and I were so nervous being in front of a camera all day, so I hired Dusty and Amy because they shot my sister's wedding and I knew how easy they were to be around and how funny they were. They created an experience at her wedding that I had hoped for on my own day. What we got was so much more than just a photographer. They were there to answer all of my questions beforehand, review my timeline multiple times, go through a shot list numerous times so we didn't miss any important photos, they coordinated with our other vendors, they brought me water, they helped me take my veil off, they bustled my dress (in about 30 seconds flat!), and they somehow made our photos look great in spite of my horrible dance moves....they were incredible! Best decision ever.
Wow! Just Wow! If you are looking for clean, crisp, timeless photos, Amy Dusty are your guys! We interviewed multiple photographers for our wedding day, and we settled on Drozian Photoworks because we liked their photos, and just felt like we clicked with Amy and Dusty. Their warm friendly demeanor made us feel comfortable which was really important to us. Throughout the entire planning process they were so responsive! They would respond usually within 24 hours or less to any and all questions we had, not matter how detailed those questions were. On the wedding day, they promptly arrived and immediately meshed well with our wedding party. Dusty in particular took such good care of us! He really went the extra mile to make sure we were having a great day. He constantly checked in, making sure we were eating and drinking. He even got us drinks from the bar at one point! He made sure we weren't getting too tired from taking photos and that we had time to eat our dinner. He directed the show really well, telling what people to go where, so that photos did not take more time than they needed. Amy was so kind throughout the process. She had awesome ideas for photos and I'm so pleased with how everything turned out. They both made us feel like our wedding was the only wedding they had shot all year, which I think is what makes them so unique. They always seemed excited for our big day, and wanted it to be just as special as we wanted it to be. At at the end of it all, they delivered a perfect product so that you can remember that perfect day forever and ever. Thank you so much Amy and Dusty! If I had to do it all over again (which I would in a heartbeat) I would definitely choose you to be our photographer again!
I can not say enough about Amy and Dusty! They were professional, polite, efficient, and best of all...they’re pictures rock! I am so in love with EVERY SINGLE picture we got back! They had ideas when I needed advice, they had everyone’s names down before the ceremony even started (we had a wedding party of 20 plus immediate family), and the day of our wedding they were able to help at key points when unexpected issues came up! They helped make our day sooo special!!!
Dusty & Amy are quite literally game changers and lifesavers! A friend of ours used them for their wedding a few years back and we knew we had to book them as soon as we got engaged ourselves. They helped with every detail, making sure we had a complete list of every photo we wanted of the day, from the full family photos to casual photos with the groups of friends we had invited. Dusty made sure I had enough to eat during the prep the day of (you have no idea how much your adrenaline kicks in and kills your appetite when everything starts going down!) and also double checking to make sure we were getting the dream day we wanted. Our photos turned out amazing and you should definitely Drozian Photoworks for your big day!
Dusty and Amy felt more like long time family friends at our wedding rather than vendors. They were a perfect blend of funny and professional. For a bride who is overly anxious, Dusty was the perfect break to kept me laughing the whole night. Amy's attention to detail to capture the little moments is what we now have in our photos to reflect back on for years to come. We also had Amy's brother as our videographer which we will cherish forever. This crew photographed 2 of my cousin's weddings and I knew by seeing how organized they were and how beautiful the photos came out that I wanted them for my wedding as well. We were so lucky to book them early because their schedule does fill up fast! Now I just need to find another excuse to hire them so we can hang out again!
Dusty and Amy were absolute dynamite at my wedding. The photos blew us away. Beyond the professionality and talent of these two they were also more than just our photographers - they ensured my wedding went smoothly and that I was happy and taken care of that entire day. I felt they had everything together and prepared.
I would choose Drozian Photoworks a thousand times over, they were simply the best .
Amy and Dusty just blew us away with their compassion and dedication that comes along with their photos. From the moment we hired them, they helped us with anything we needed along the way and wanted to make sure without a doubt our day was perfect. From the random phone calls to check in and see how things were going on planning & touch base, inspiring ourselves to bring out the nerdiness in ourselves with photo ideas, or the simplicity of checking in with us (the bride & groom) on the day of the wedding ensuring we had food, water and anything else we needed.
During the wedding day, they were all that I could ask for.. directional, fun, entertaining and on point. Amy's eye for a great view and picture is dynamic and Dusty is such a fun guy. They just got a new drone right before our wedding and the pictures and video are to die for. All together, a phenomenal team and I couldn't thank them enough for the outstanding work they've done.
Did I mention our photos turned out OUTSTANDING?! 10 out of 10 would recommend :)
Prior to our wedding day, a lot of time and thought went in to choosing our wedding photographer/videographer. It is one of most important vendor decisions to make because it's the one tangible memory that is forever. I found Amy and Dusty at a bridal expo and was thrilled they had our wedding date available (they book quickly). During the months leading up to the wedding, Amy and Dusty took the "photography reigns" and quickly proved their expertise (helping with photo combos, suggesting location and time of day for photos, etc). They were in constant communication with us, and responded quickly by email or phone to any questions we had. I loved the fact that Drozian is a husband and wife team. This meant Amy could capture the bridal party photos and vice versa for Dusty. Through out the wedding I had two photographers and a videographer there to capture every moment. They missed nothing! One compliment I continue to receive from family and friends-- Amy and Dusty took charge and gave direction the entire wedding day in order to capture moments and combos (If your photographer fails to have this skill, moving along your wedding party for photo combos will be like herding cats). Just weeks after our wedding, I have 700+ of the most beautiful wedding photos I had ever seen (editing and printing rights too!). I look at them over and over again, and tear up remembering the best day of my life. Amy, Dusty and Austin are one of a kind and felt like family by the end of it all. I have referred them to all my friends with weddings to come-they are simply the best!
Amy and Dusty are absolutely amazing! We had been looking for photographers on The Knot, and that’s when I stopped on their work. I really liked the photos that I was seeing, and then I realized one of the photos were of my friends! I immediately contacted her, and she had nothing but high praise for them. That praise was completely deserved. Amy and Dusty have been such a joy to work with through this entire process, from discussing options and packages (Dusty was so helpful and friendly over the phone), to having our Engagement Photos taken (they were able to get us to relax and enjoy the process), to our wedding day (absolute perfection at capturing the day). They are highly responsive, professional, and friendly. We just got our photos back and they are all absolutely incredible! We could not be any happier with our experience and the final product.
I knew when I was looking at different photographers, there was a specific style that I was leaning towards, and Amy and Dusty fully embodied that style. I wanted photos that would help us remember the day as it was. I didn’t want something that was overly stylized or photo shopped. Looking at our final photos, they perfectly captured the day, the feeling, and the atmosphere of our wedding. All our family and friends that have seen the photos have said that they don’t envy our task ahead—narrowing down all the photos for our album. And they are right!
Amy and Dusty did an awesome job! We are so happy with how our photos turned out and we owe a lot of that to them. They made a lot of effort to find the best spots near our venue to take some really unique and memorable photos that we hadn't even planned. They were also always doing their best to tell jokes and make sure everyone was smiling and laughing in the photos. Beyond that though, they were extremely diligent at maintaining the schedule, which is always helpful on your wedding day. All in all, we couldn't have hoped for better photographers and we highly recommend you pick them for your wedding!
Amy and Dustin are truly the best! From our initial phone call, to emails throughout the planning process, working on the timeline and family dynamics, Amy and Dusty did an amazing job! Not only are they extremely talented in photography and videography they were super helpful the day of our wedding. Dusty was like a wedding magician: tied the groom's bow tie and fixed a button that fell off the tux! He adjusted my veil and even knew how to bustle my dress!! Dusty and Amy took the effort and time to get the details up front- timeline, names of family members and wedding party so that on our wedding day they were able to call everyone by name and get through the family shots super fast during cocktail hour. They were creative with our photos and got amazing shots we would have never thought of. There are lots of talented photographers out there but Amy and Dusty are so much more than that. They not only take the best pictures and capture the essence of your day but make you feel happy and comfortable throughout the process. They kept us on schedule without feeling rushed and helped us enjoy our day throughout the process. Hands down the best experience we could have ever wished for on our wedding day and the best part is the pictures are forever!
We cannot seem to stop talking about how much we loved Dusty and Amy! A family friend suggested them to us and from the moment we met and saw their work we knew we would be lucky to have them as our photographers and videography. Not only were they professional and so helpful before/during and after the wedding, their talent for photography shows in every picture! Every family member and friend were impressed as well! They are worth every penny and I will continue to suggest them to anyone who wants to listen to me rave about how lucky we were to work with them!!
Hiring Amy and Dusty for our wedding was the best decision that we made. I can't say enough great things about their team. Amy has an incredible creative eye. She found gorgeous places for photos at our venue. Dusty made my life so much easier on our wedding day. When we finished taking pictures before our ceremony, he made sure that I drank water and even offered me a snack. They were able to take incredible shots, while making friends with our families and wedding party. I'm still not sure how they remember names like they do. During our planning call, Dusty told me that he would have our family photos complete in 15 minutes. Our family photos were organized, quick, and efficient. I really appreciated Amy and Dusty organizing this and giving us more time to enjoy the cocktail hour. All of our families commented on how efficient they were. They sent our wedding pictures and highlight video within a month of our wedding, SO fast! The pictures and videos made us cry harder than we did on our wedding day. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding photographer and can't thank them enough for their beautiful work.
WE TRULY CANNOT SAY ENOUGH about Amy & Dusty from Drozian Photoworks! I initially learned about them when they photographed and videoed my cousin's wedding. I loved her pictures and video so much that I planned our wedding date around Amy & Dusty's availability. We cannot say enough times how thankful we are that we used Drozian Photoworks! I was worried because Amy and Dusty live in Northern California. Being in San Francisco, I was worried they may not be interested or would add crazy travel fees. They not only were interested but they made it the best and easiest process.
We were married in October but met with them in April for our engagement session. I rented a VW van from Vantigo for our engagement session because I wanted pictures from a lot of San Francisco locations and knew my fiancé would not be excited with having to drive and park in multiple locations. Vantigo took away the stress of everything and made our engagement photos the most fun experience possible. Amy and Dusty were completely onboard with us doing the rental. We all rode together and had a great time. It rained the day of our engagement photos. They never once complained about the weather. Our engagement photos were amazing. They looked like they belonged in a magazine!
I emailed Amy and Dusty numerous times with questions. They were always so responsive and informative. I called them at one point to ask who I should use for hair and makeup. I was receiving the most crazy quotes from MUAs in the bay area. They suggested two vendors they really liked in the area. One was Teri Lacro from Charismatic Bride. I ultimately went with her and was so pleased with the results!
The week before the wedding, we had a quick call to touch base. We discussed the schedule for the day. They even agreed to come an hour earlier so they could get pictures of the guys getting clean shaves. The pictures from that are some of my favorite!
Amy, Dusty, and the two of us reviewed our photo list and the schedule. I wanted pictures of everyone and every detail. I also wanted pictures of all the tables but they helped us realize how much time it would take if we were in each one. So instead, Amy and Dusty took pictures of every table, just minus us in each of them, and they are all amazing!
They basically directed the timeline. It was perfect! We received so many compliments from guests about how they loved Amy and Dusty, and how on top of everything they were.
We have now received our wedding pictures and I am SO IN LOVE! I tried to pick my top 75 but could only narrow it down to 145. They took so many amazing photos. I initially loved 400+ and then worked to edit them down even more.
We are awaiting our video footage but I know that it will be just as amazing as their photos. We truly cannot say enough about Amy and Dusty. I am actually extremely sad that we won't be interacting regularly in 2018. They became some of my favorite people of 2017. We highly recommend them! You will never regret your decision if you book them!
WOW! What a team. Amy and Dusty were hands down the best wedding vendor we had, but not only that, they helped to make our day absolutely perfect. When we first contacted them almost 2 years before we actually got married, they were so helpful on the phone going over all the details and answering every question in detail. I knew from the moment I saw their videos online that I wanted to use them. I was scared that they would be too expensive based on the quality but the price was very reasonable. For the quality you are getting you cannot beat their prices. When it came to the day of our wedding, they acted as coordinators, you know one that you pay thousands of dollars for, but they did it because they are that amazing. Our wedding day ran like clock work. We got married in a Church, took pictures outside at a different venue and had the reception at a third location. With all that movement, Amy and Dusty kept us on time and we were never late. When it came to taking pictures in the Church, they called out each of the combinations of people with such efficiency that we were in awe. At the reception they were constantly making sure my glass was filled (flagging down the waiter), making sure we ate and kept us on track when we took pictures with each table (NOT an easy task). Amy even sat me down at the end to make sure I ate a piece of cake! We really attribute Amy and Dusty to making sure everything in our wedding went as smooth as possible and made sure we enjoyed it all along the way. If we could get married again we would pick Drozian a 1000 times over!
The bottom line: You should absolutely book Drozian Photoworks. They are incredible! They are professional, personable, organized, talented and FANTASTIC PHOTOGRAPHERS. They are also the most lovely human beings and are so fun to be round. We give them our highest recommendation!
Details: We learned about Drozian through my husband’s good friend who hired them for his wedding. It was great to see them in action during the wedding and their photos were stunning! We contacted them and they set up a Skype/Facetime meeting so that we could meet them and learn about their services. We were immediately struck by their warmth, passion and professionalism. A month or so before the wedding we had a phone meeting with Dusty to talk details before the big day! We discussed timeline and different photos we were hoping for. We also appreciated that he asked about the various groups/combos we wanted to photograph. He and Amy are super experienced and provided helpful guidance leading up to and during the big day. The day of the wedding they were joined by Amy’s brother Austin who was also super nice.
Throughout the entire wedding day, Amy and Dusty were sooooo wonderful and attentive. It seemed like one or both of them were always near us, kindly offering us water and/or food or asking if they could help in any way. Amy even held my lip gloss and Dusty printed my vows at the hotel business center! They are so fun, funny and relaxed that it really helped calm my nerves and made the day all the more enjoyable. And anytime we hoped to have something captured on camera, they were right there! Our guests commented on how Amy, Dusty and Austin were so present and involved, i.e. if they wanted to take a group shot, usually one of them was an arm’s reach away. They made themselves so available, which we really appreciated. After the wedding, we missed them a lot and wanted to hang out with them more! We consider them our friends now and I know my husband’s friend does as well!
Following the event, Amy and Dusty sent us some sneak peek photos within a few days of the wedding, which was so fun! They then sent all our wedding pics and flash drive just a few weeks later. The photos are STUNNING and we love their mix of black and white and color photos. Their framing and compositions are outstanding. They are truly gifted at what they do and we are so grateful to them that we have all of these precious moments captured in these beautiful photos!! We love you Amy and Dusty! (And Austin too!) :) Thank you for everything!!!!
PS I fell flat on my face at one point while dancing and they rushed over to help me up!! They are so caring!! <3
Amy and Dusty were great. We were out of state and they traveled without issue. They were very easy to work with. We had crying babies and an energetic dog all being photographed. They were awesome in all of the chaos. The photos and photo book blew us away. My brother also used them and had a great experience.
I wish I could give Amy and Dusty more than 5 stars- they are AMAZING!! My husband and I cannot get enough of our photos- their quality and photography style is beyond words. They more than exceeded our expectations with our engagement and wedding photos. They made us feel like we have been friends with them forever and we were truly sad after our wedding knowing we would no longer be working with them and contacting them as frequently. Their professionalism and love for their job show in their photos and that is so rare to find.
We are so blessed to have had Amy and Dusty as our photographers, not only are they kind, fun, and professional, but they have the ability to make such a intimate experience feel so natural. We couldn't have asked for better, the whole experience has been wonderful, not only leading up to our big day, but after. We have found true friends in these amazing people, and have memories now captured that will last a life time.
Dusty and Amy were fantastic in every way. Not only were the photos sublime--they caught a lot of special, candid moments--but they were fantastic to be around. They were relaxed and not overbearing at all, getting photos without you really even realizing they were there. Plus, they were both really funny and the interaction was easy. Best of all, they kept bringing us drinks during the reception. That went above and beyond for me, since I was talking the whole time and wouldn't have been able to get a drink myself. I highly recommend.
They are the best.
There's so much I can say about Amy & Dusty, but the one thing I want to emphasize is that they care about you above everything else.
While they handled our photography, they also made sure we were taken care of. During our special day (in triple degree weather), they constantly made sure I was hydrated & always asked if there was anything that I or my husband needed. It seems like such a small thing, but I'm certain I wouldn't have lasted the whole day without them by our side.
You can't go wrong with having them on your side during your wedding. If you can have beautiful photography with equally kind & caring people like Amy & Dusty behind the cameras, you can't lose.
Amy & Dusty went way above & beyond our expectations... they brought the house down! They started the day bright & early with energy and efficiency. The day continued with the same enthusiasm, they anticipated every snapshot we wanted to grab through the evening. They fit right in with our group and made everyone feel comfortable and confident. I can't say enough how much I loved working with the Drozian team. They are the BEST! <3 <3 <3
In a nutshell - these are the most amazing, fun and talented photographers ever!! We were fortunate enough to have been introduced to Amy and Dusty at another friends wedding, long before we were ever engaged. When we did get engaged and were looking for a photographer, we remembered them instantly! So glad that we did!! The process was so informative and easy working with Amy and Dusty. They were responsive and thoroughly answered all of our questions and did not push us to make any quick decisions. For our engagement session, we told them the vibe we were looking for, and they picked the perfect spot! For the wedding, even though they had not shot at our particular venue, they had been to the area frequently, did online research and viewed lots of Google maps street views and found incredible places for us to take Bride & Groom shots as well as Wedding Party and Family. They stayed on top of the timeline and when I knew the wedding was getting close and I should be reaching out to them with information, they were already reaching out to me - they not only helped plan the photography timeline, but in doing so, helped my pull together the rest of the wedding timeline! We (B&G) sometimes got a bit lost, but they helped make the process so easy for us. During the wedding, they acted as not only the photographers but day of coordinators. Dusty was always making sure we had food/drinks throughout the wedding (he made sure to see to it that we got to try our signature drink ASAP!). Amy took all our accessories that we had discussed ahead of time and took beautiful shots that I would have never even dreamed of! They are also incredibly efficient, which was so important to me (we didn't want to spend all day JUST taking pictures). We had our list of family photo's and got them done in no time so we could go enjoy the cocktail hour and get to see our guests more. Lastly, and most importantly - the photo's for both the engagement pictures and ESPECIALLY the wedding are INCREDIBLE!!! We got them much quicker than we would have expected and they are just beautiful. We can't stop going over and over them and some of the moments they captured are to die for. We hysterically laugh every time we some some of the crazy dancing pictures and facial expressions that they captured. How do they do it?! We also asked them to do a video, fairly last minute before the wedding, and with no problem, they brought along another cameraman, Austin to also capture some video footage. It is so fun to watch the highlight video and in just 3-4 minutes it really captures the whole wedding. We just love it and will cherish it forever. We can't thank Drozian enough for really capturing our big day so that we can look back and remember this amazing day forever!!
Amy and Dusty are amazing!! They shot our engagement photos, boudoir photos and wedding photos. They made my husband and I feel extremely comfortable and did an incredible job with all of our shoots. Details on each shoot below. All I have to say ... use Drozian Photoworks!
Engagement: They were pros! They know the bay area so well and knew exactly where to take us to capture the perfect shots. We shot in two locations and did a great job making each location unique and captured different shots in each location.
Boudoir: I can not say enough about Amy and my boudoir shot. Amy did my hair and makeup, made me feel comfortable and took some absolutely incredible photos. I am not comfortable in front of the camera at all, but Amy really made me feel like a pro and made me look and feel beautiful. I kept this shoot as a secret from my husband until the big day and surprised him with some beautiful photos that he loves.
Wedding: We had a two day wedding and Amy and Dusty were by our side the entire time. In addition to taking wonderful photos capturing the day, our guests and overall ambiance of the events, they were attentive and continued checking in on us to make sure we had what we needed, were fed and were most of all having fun.
I love Amy & Dusty, they made our engagement session a great experience! I love their photography style and was so impressed by how our photos came out, especially since our location wasn't ideal (there was a mix-up with what kind of access we had to the property). Despite the situation being less than ideal our photographers didn't miss a beat. They even knew of another location near by to shoot at as well, so we were able to get a variety of great shots. Kissing on camera is a little odd at first, but Amy & Dusty's relaxed nature helped us ease into it and soon we were completely comfortable. I love my engagement photos, and I'm very much looking forward to them shooting our wedding. If you want an amazing photography team you can't go wrong with these two. You'll have a ton of fun with them, and have amazing pictures afterward. They're busy folks so book them early!
Post Wedding Edit:
I'm still in awe whenever I look at our photos. They're so gorgeous, the artistic nature, the candid moments, everything is absolutely beautiful. <3 Our amazing day is gorgeously preserved by Amy & Dusty's photography. They made our day so smooth, fun, and easy. We couldn't have asked for better photographers to cover our day from beginning to end. They did more than capture the day, they helped make it happen with their knowledge, experience and enthusiasm. Make sure to book with them, you'll be so grateful that you did.
Amy and Dusty are incredible! Not only as photographers, but they are the most genuine, caring, attentive and fun couple! I first met them as a bridesmaid in my college roommate's wedding while they captured her big day. They were so much fun to work with and made everyone feel so comfortable, that when my husband and I got engaged, we immediately hired them for our own wedding and engagement photos.
I knew their photos were outstanding and they were super cool people, but as we went through the process of planning our wedding I realized just how helpful and organized they were and how much stress they relieved by making everything so easy! They took all of the awkwardness out of posing for photos and made us laugh and really enjoy our engagement session.
Once the wedding rolled around, they kicked into high gear not only as photographers, but they worked seamlessly with our DJ and our coordinator to make sure we were exactly where we needed to be, or wanted to be, throughout the whole night. They made sure we had drinks, and food, and were completely taken care of. They even helped me pack my suitcase at the end of the wedding when I realized it was almost our grand exit and I hadn't gathered my belongings to move from the house at the venue to our honeymoon suite.
We just recently received our wedding photos and video (just a short few weeks after the wedding) and I can't stop staring at how well they captured the beauty of the best day ever. They really caught every moment of the day so I feel like I am re-living the experience each time I go through the albums. The video shows my husbands face and reaction as he saw me walk down the aisle and having the opportunity to see this priceless moment in time whenever I choose is the best feeling ever!
I could go on in a novel about how great these two are and how they really made our day just perfect. Best decision we ever made hands down. Thank you Amy and Dusty for being so awesome and for capturing all of the love from this beautiful experience in our lives! We adore you!!
My husband and I truly cannot explain just how amazing Amy and Dusty are. Their pictures speak for themselves, but it is all of the ancillary things that they do that make them extraordinary...
Choosing a wedding photographer is probably one of the biggest decisions of wedding planning. My then fiancé and I spent weeks looking for photographers on the Knot until Drozian Photoworks emailed their way into our lives. They offered everything we were looking for: all day coverage with 2 photographers, multiple packages to choose from (that were affordable), they did videography, engagement shoots, offered photo albums etc. and they were kind and welcoming and of course their pictures were beautiful. Saying yes to having them as our photographers was honestly the best decision we made.
Amy and Dusty are very responsive to emails. They will treat you more than just clients; they will treat you like friends. When we met them at our engagement photo shoot in Napa, we got a sense of what our wedding day would be like. They made us feel comfortable, Dusty made us laugh with his many jokes and Amy was kind and attentive. Her attention to detail was excellent, whether it was fixing my hair or noticing that my necklace clasp was showing. When we got our engagement photos back we were blown away. They were perfect!
On the big day, Amy and Dusty arrived promptly as scheduled. They immediately came up to me, asked how I slept, how I was feeling and if I had eaten anything. They began taking pictures of everyone and everything. They laughed with my bridesmaids and made sure they were eating and drinking as well. My fiancé and I were both surprised that they had memorized the names of our families and our entire wedding party (which wasn't small, total of 19 people). Until this day our friends and family still talk about our photographers and how awesome they were!
Amy and Dusty were very attentive to our needs ALL day long! During cocktail hour, while taking our post ceremony pictures, they brought us over 2 beers and a plate of appetizers and even made sure no food was stuck in our teeth for the pictures. Like they promised, they stayed for all the important events and left when everyone started to get sweaty from dancing and tipsy from the open bar (probably around 10pm, which made it probably a 12-13 hour day for them).
We got our sneak peek of 20ish pictures 4-5 days after the. I truly cried seeing how beautiful the pictures were and how amazing the day had turned out! A few short weeks later we got the rest of our pictures in the mail on a nifty little USB stick and we were absolutely amazed. The little things you forget about or that go unnoticed, Amy and Dusty will capture. It was like reliving the day all over again! The icing on the cake was our video! It was so much fun to watch.
Amy and Dusty are just down right great people. They have love and passion for their job, their clients and photography and it's palpable. I am so thankful that we found Drozian Photoworks. They were a huge part of our wedding day. They made it extra special and we can look back on their beautiful photos and cherish the memories forever.
Thank you again Amy and Dusty, you are best. Truly!
We felt that choosing our photographer was the most important decision we would make while planning our wedding - hiring Dusty & Amy was the absolute best decision we could have ever made. They are the most fun and professional couple, who will go completely above and beyond to make your day perfect. They have given us the most beautiful pictures that capture every emotion and precious moment of the day. Drozian Photoworks will exceed every expectation you have!
These two are the absolute BEST people you could choose to be a part of your occasion. Not only do they do their job exceptionally, but they are two really great people. For my husband and I, we felt like we had two friends taking our wedding photos because they're extremely personable, friendly, and funny! They even go above and beyond what they're paid to do. For example, Dusty made sure I was fed and drank water while Amy was looking up deals for our honeymoon! If you decide against Dusty and Amy you'd be making a very big mistake! They get your pictures to you in a timely fashion, in fact, they got our pictures to us on our one month anniversary! I will go to them for any professional photography I need in the future!!! Thank you so much Amy and Dusty!
Amy and Dusty were what took our wedding from an amazing day to a perfect day. I knew that I had made the right choice choosing them as our photographer before the wedding even happened. They were a key part of my planning prior to the wedding thanks to their willingness to sit on the phone with me and plan our our entire wedding day schedule. They had so many great tips on what to bring and how to order things, and it made my life so much easier. As things changed leading up to the day, the adjusted accordingly and they were always so easy to communicate with. I instantly felt that they were as invested in my wedding as I was.
Our wedding day arrived and Amy and Dusty showed up to start taking getting ready pictures with me and my bridesmaids. They fit in seamlessly with our group and were the perfect mix of quietly moving about the house taking pictures of the rings, shoes, etc. while also making friends with everyone. They had my bridesmaids’ names memorized instantly (along with giving them amazing nicknames), and they helped us all maintain a sense of calm while also keeping us on track with our schedule. They were prepared with everything from every colored bobby pin to water and snacks, and they made sure that I was taking time to drink water and eat my lunch.
Throughout our ceremony and reception, Amy and Dusty were stellar. They made sure that my husband and I always had everything that we needed- from drinks to passing messages along to our coordinator, they were on it, and they were anticipating my every need. When my bustle broke, Amy was right there helping me fix it while Dusty fanned me with a piece of paper (I was dancing hard and sweating a lot). They made the process of taking family pictures after the ceremony (something I was looking forward to the least) SO easy. Dusty controlled the process but with a great sense of humor, and they directed the group as if they had known our grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins forever. They were always present, but they were never in the way.
We just received our pictures last week, and the final product really sealed the deal for me. Our pictures are amazing. They not only captured every moment beautifully, but they also captured my husband’s and my personality, the personalities of our families and guests, and the feeling of the wedding. I will be insisting that all of my friends work with Amy and Dusty for their weddings, and I’ll be searching for an excuse to work with them again. I feel like we became close friends and my husband, parents, bridesmaids, and I all talk about how much we miss them.
While planning my wedding, I didn’t realize what a catalyst your photographer can be. I am so lucky that we decided to work with Amy and Dusty because they were the catalyst that make our wedding exceed all of my expectations. I am forever grateful for them.
Amy and Dusty were absolutely amazing, from the first phone call meet-and-greet to last email exchanges post wedding. They were professional but also so incredibly sweet and attentive. Everybody at the wedding loved them and all of our photos turned out beautiful!!! I am so thankful we hired them to capture our special day, they let us enjoy ourselves and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. I would absolutely hire them again and again and highly recommend them!
To me one of the most important part of a wedding day is having a photographer that understands the day, understands the necessary pictures...then steps back and lets you enjoy the day. From the moment I met Dusty and Amy through a skype call I knew they were going to be our perfect photographers! There personalities are so outgoing and they just have a kind nature to them. From our engagement session to the actual wedding day Amy & Dusty went above and beyond to make sure everything was spectacular. There thoughtfulness through the planning process and expertise/tips was what every bride needs. That said, not only did our pictures come out to be amazing but Amy & Dusty were far more than just your standard photographers, they helped me bustle my dress, move tables and jumped in whenever/wherever needed. Their attention to detail is impeccable they caught so many moments I myself had no idea were even happening. Not to mention my bridal party (8 girls & 4 boys) were highly impressed with Dusty's ability to remember each of their names. As a bride who was in charge of the wedding finances, Amy and Dusty fit into our budget perfectly, that said they offered a variety of packages so there is some flexibility for different types of budgets. All in all, you can tell Amy & Dusty enjoy what they do and have a passion for photography but also love their clients and want to satisfy with photos that are amazing and a service that is above expectations. I am beyond thrilled that Andy & I selected Drozian as our wedding photographers... If you are vacillating between Drozian and any other photographers please know that I am writing this review with the up most honesty and can assure you that Drozian will not disappoint! Best wishes on wedding planning... enjoy every moment because it goes soo quick :)
Where do I even begin? Amy and Dusty are literally the best ever. They were absolutely amazing from the first meeting, to the engagement photos, to the planning and eventually the big day. They were by far our best vendor, by a long shot. Not only do they take beautiful photos, they are amazing individuals.
My fiancé and I were tough critics when it came to considering photographers. Our wedding photos were the one thing that had to be perfect. Just by looking at their work, it's obvious Amy and Dusty are great, but after talking to them, I just knew they were the right photographers for us.
Amy and Dusty essentially ran the show the day of our wedding. As any bride and groom will tell you, your wedding day is going to be so overwhelming, busy, hectic (and still wonderful), but you will barely have time to think. Amidst the whirlwind of events, Amy and Dusty kept calm, provided advice, reminded us to smile when we got stressed beforehand, and even coordinated with other vendors to ensure our day was the absolute best it could be. Their positive attitude, willingness to assist with anything (literally anything) and their professionalism, were outstanding. Not only are we raving about them, so are our bridal party members and even our guests. And that was even before we saw the amazing photos! When we did get our photos back from them, I was just a few photos in and I was in tears. They had beautifully captured everything we had hoped for and more. We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos and the memories they will remind us of for a lifetime.
The best decision we made in planning our wedding was booking Amy and Dusty as our photographers. All their photos are beautiful, but what is even better is their ability to capture each couple in a light that truly reflects their personalities and style. Beyond that, they made the wedding day fun and relaxed. We were not super pleased with our wedding coordinator, but the wedding went off without a hitch because Amy and Dusty made everything happen perfectly. They were helpful with every detail, including putting in my veil, taking out the veil, randomly having bobby pins for my bridesmaids, helping the groomsmen figure out their boutonnieres, herding our huge families for extended family photos, and making sure we "smiled like we meant it" so that our photos wouldn't look fake and awkward (neither of us are very comfortable in front of a camera). To this day, my family, friends, and even our wedding guests still rave about how great our photographers were!
Our package also included the engagement session, which is absolutely worth doing. It allowed us to get to know Amy and Dusty ahead of time so we weren't nervous around them on the big day. Truly, you cannot make a better choice than booking Drozian for your wedding!
I LOVED working with Amy and Dusty. They were professional, helpful and did an incredible job with our engagement and wedding photos. At first I started to regret not hiring a videographer, but once I got back the photos I changed my mind. They literally caught our wedding day from start to finish and did not miss a detail. The raw emotion, the happiness, the laughter, the guests, the sequence of events and surprises! I had really set up a lot of personal details for the wedding day and had two big surprises for my husband. That captured pictures of all of the details and caught my husband crying during the big surprise as well as the crowds reaction. Unbelievable. Throughout the wedding they were checking in with me, remembered everyone's names in my bridal party and made everyone comfortable. Our wedding party was very impressed. This is one area you do not want to skimp on as they help provide memories for a lifetime. I cannot recommend them enough.
When we first skyped with Dusty and Amy to talk about our needs we were initially nervous, but the second they started to speak, we realized they were the perfect fit for us. They immediately put us at ease even though we had a very tight deadline. They are a little bit geek with a whole lot of class and they helped us at the actual wedding with organizing and keeping everything on schedule. They did both our engagement session and our wedding and reception photos and we just ecstatic with the results! Highly recommend them, they will be your best friends and make much of the stress just fall away.
As soon as we met Amy and Dusty, they immediately set us at ease! They were so warm and accommodating, and it was a true delight to have them be a part of our special day. We highly recommend them. Thank you Amy and Dusty for the beautiful memories.
I can't say enough about Dusty and Amy! From the first time we met with them via Skype, we knew they were the right choice to capture our wedding day. They were professional at all points of the process but still SO much fun. On top of all of that, the photos they got for our engagement shoot and wedding are all amazing. Everyone that's seen them have told us they're the best wedding photos they've ever seen.
For our engagement photos, we were both nervous about how they would turn out, but they made the entire shoot so easy. They absolutely know what they're doing and when we got our photos back, they were beyond anything we could have imagined. Once we saw our engagement photos, we couldn't wait to have them photograph our wedding!
Come the wedding day, they were on time, so much fun, and they knew the names of our family members, wedding party, and everyone else involved! They captured the entire day in the most amazing way. They captured emotions, reactions, and moments of not just my husband and myself, but our guests as well.
At the reception, they were phenomenal. They had shots already planned when we met with them for more photos before cocktail hour and everything went smoothly and quickly. They coordinated with our on-site coordinator, the DJ, and my cousin that emceed the reception. They had a ton of fun with the guests, and everyone commented on how much they loved our photographers. Not only were they busy snapping away all night, they made sure everything went smoothly as planned.
My husband said a few days before we received our wedding photos that the wedding wasn't as clear in his memory anymore now that a couple of weeks had passed. As soon as we got our photos, he re-lived it all over again, including some moments that we had no clue were even happening but Amy and Dusty caught them!
We've recommended them to everyone we know and will continue to do so. Hiring them was one of the best decisions we made, and we would hire them again if we had a chance.
Two of my friends had used Drozian Photoworks for their wedding photography, and after seeing their photos come back, I completely fell in love with their work. As a guest at one of those weddings, I had also been very impressed that Amy and Dusty were able to get some of the shots that they did while remaining in the background and not attracting attention to themselves. Both of my friends had spoken very highly of this photography duo, so even before my husband and I chose our wedding date, we contacted Drozian to see which dates THEY had available.
The first time we met Amy and Dusty was at our engagement shoot, and I was incredibly nervous because I don't feel like I take great pictures. However, they made us laugh and feel at ease, and I loved the photos we got back. We didn't look overly posed, and the candid shots were amazing (half of the pictures I didn't even know they had taken!).
Then it came to our wedding day, and I was so glad that we hired them. They were incredibly helpful, and I was impressed with how much effort they put in BEFORE the wedding to make sure that our big day ran smoothly and efficiently. They took the time to understand the various family relationships/dynamics, and they knew exactly who was supposed to be in each picture and when, so our cocktail/photo hour really only lasted an hour (not running way behind like other weddings I've been to).
We got married in November 2015, and our photos were ready in December 2015. Again, I was so happy with the quality and quantity of the photos taken, and I was so impressed with how quickly they were able to get them edited. We got our physical wedding album this week (2/18/15), and it is gorgeous.
Some final thoughts... aside from their beautiful work and experience with wedding photography, I was/am incredibly thankful that they were always quick to get back to us anytime we had questions or needed to talk about wedding details. They made me feel like they really love their work, and that they were happy to work with us. Overall our experience was amazing, and I will definitely be using them for maternity/family pictures - whenever that time comes.
Thank you Amy and Dusty!
I cannot sing the praises of Dusty and Amy enough. Working with these two was an absolute treat from start to finish and I can't wait to work with them again. It was like hanging with long time friends the whole time. From planning shoots, discussing packages, and getting in front of the camera they make the whole process fun and enjoyable. Amy has a fanatic eye for detail and pose and Dusty just knows how to get people to relax. The photos from their work is art, truly.
The day of the wedding they were attentive to more than just capturing the happenings of the day. They both made sure that we had food and drink when needed, continuously asking if were were ok and if we wanted and certain photos. They captured moments from cross the room and worked with everyone on the staff wonderfully. The photos we received from after the shoots are works of art. They capture people, landscape and moments in breathtaking ways.
These two are who you want on your team when it comes to your wedding. Or any event for that matter.
We LOVE Dusty and Amy!
They did our best friends' wedding (in which I was a bridesmaid) and as soon as we got engaged we knew we wanted Dusty and Amy to do our wedding. Not only are they extremely professional, responsive, and laid-back in personality, but they went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we could possibly need on our wedding day. Dusty was always within arms reach of me throughout the day, and when my coordinator dropped the ball, Amy was there to pick it up and make everything better.
They both know exactly how to make you feel at ease when taking photos and capture everything beautifully. Any questions I had were met with positive responses and feedback. And when we were running late on the day-of, they kept me cool and calm and rolled with the punches, altering their own schedule to accommodate.
I don't think I can leave out the fact that they are QUICK when necessary! My husband has a large family and I was concerned about how much time family photos would take (I didn't want to spend an hour and a half of my wedding taking photos...), but they knew everyone's name and got through all the photos with efficiency.
I just got the photos from my wedding day back and I can't stop looking through them. They are GORGEOUS! If you hire Dusty and Amy for your wedding, I promise it will be one of the best decisions you make!
My husband and I are SO happy we chose Dusty and Amy as our wedding photographers. They made us feel so comfortable during all of our wedding shots and are true artists. They were so gracious and kind during the whole wedding going as far to help bustle my dress and even pin my hair up!!! We love our photos and highly recommend Drozian Photoworks for your wedding.
Amy and Dusty (and baby Drozian!) made our wedding the most unforgettable day. They took so much care in every detail. My husband and I got married the 22nd of August up in Clear Creek, Ca. These two helped from the second they arrived to the second they left. I couldn't have had a more perfect day thanks to them. When they first arrived they were so upbeat and helpful. As a bride, they made sure I was taken care of and I honestly didn't have to worry about a thing because they were helping calm me down and even helping my mom set up the reception. Amy and dusty went above and beyond for us. They were prepared for anything and even had extra advil (from a headache, not from drinking...yet). Throuout the reception they helped me get my food so I wouldn't ruin my dress and we're so attentive to our needs when we finally got to sit down and eat. Looking through the pictures, I was absolutely amazed at how great they were. They did such an amazing job on them that every time I look through them I'm reminded of what a special day it was. My husband and I couldn't be happier with what Amy and Dusty did for us. I would definitely hire them again for any event! Thank you guys so so much for being so incredible!
Amy and Dusty were on my radar from long before my husband and I got engaged. They come HIGHLY recommended, and I had seen them in action at a friend's wedding as well. Here are my top 3 reasons to be a smart bride and choose Drozian Photoworks:
1) Having a TEAM of photographers means no details go un-noticed. I can't tell you how many times I heard, "Jamie, move that piece of hair behind you," or other details they noticed in the camera that I would not have noticed. When one of them is busy shooting pictures of you and your new husband, the other is either shooting the same shot but from a different angel, or is capturing amazing moments happening elsewhere at your wedding.
2) Doing an engagement session with Amy & Dusty means planning the SECOND most romantic day of your life. I include the engagement session in this review because, for us, Amy & Dusty set the stage for us to truly enjoy this special time before our big day. First of all, they traveled to Donner Lake for us, because they knew how much we wanted to capture that special place that represents so much of our story. On top of that, they actually STUDIED my Pinterest Board of engagement picture ideas and showed us how to capture every single one of those ideas! Wow! Amazing!
3) Dusty & Amy are not just wedding photographers... They are virtually wedding planners on the day of your wedding! From the time they showed up at the hair salon that morning, up until the end of the night, they kept me ON TRACK and ON TIME. "Jamie, it's time to come do your First Look with Tyler." "Jamie, it's time to put on your lip gloss, we're ready to go." And so on, and so on... I can't say enough about how amazing this was to have. While our onsite event coordinator at our venue was amazing, Dusty & Amy were with me all day long, no matter where I went, and helped me every step of the way.
Now for just a few tips I have on working with Amy & Dusty:
1) Tell them what you like and what you don't like about yourselves. Self-conscious about something in particular? No problem, just tell them and be honest. This can happen at your engagement session, or in a phone call or email. They LISTEN, so make sure to be honest with what you want.
2) DO BOOK an engagement session with them! You don't want the first time you are being photographed by someone to be on your most vulnerable day. You and your husband-to-be want to be comfortable holding each other, kissing each other, etc., and the best way to do that is to PRACTICE with the photographers who are going to be there on your wedding day. PLUS, I have to admit, Tyler and I ended up framing even more engagement pictures than we did our wedding photos. We just ADORE them.
3) Book with Dusty & Amy and book EARLY. They book up for a REASON. It's because they are the best. Don't disregard this review, it's written by a brutally honest woman who survived a WEDDING! :)
Thank you Drozian Photoworks, we couldn't have done it without you!
Next time you see a review from us, it will be when you photograph our family, who we are hoping to grow in the next year or so! :)
Thanks!
Jamie & Tyler Carlson
Dusty and Amy are simply the best! Not only do they take gorgeous photos and plenty of them, they are so friendly and comfortable to be around. My wedding day went smoothly hugely in part to Dusty. He helped me with my every need throughout the entire day. It was amazing! My friends and family loved Dusty and Amy, as well, and raved about them!! I couldn't recommend them enough. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further!
I am a very honest person, in saying that... all I could say to Dusty & Amy on my wedding day is "Y'ALL AS**HOLES" every time they would give me a sneak peak of my photos. ALL THE PHOTOS THAT THEY TOOK ARE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS, STOP LOOKING ALREADY AND BOOK WITH DROZIAN PHOTOWORKS ALREADY!!!!!!!!!! I MEAN IT! JUST DO IT! YOU WILL REGRET IT IF YOU DONT AND I'LL LAUGH THAT YOU MISSED OUT ON HAVING AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHERS
Anyways here is experience with Dusty and Amy, when I was looking for a photographer for my wedding I had about 6 months to plan everything. We are a young couple with a small budget for our wedding. So searching for photographers it can be discouraging because, you can find photographers that are extremely expensive and or affordable, but you can totally tell with the quality of the work. Once I found Drozian Photoworks, I was determined to make my budget work just so I could have them as my photographers. There is something about this couple that they just take a portion of your worry away from the whole planning process. Before the wedding, they were just super nice, quick to respond to all my emails and answering my questions. I knew I was in good hands.
I honestly wish I could point out something I didn't like about them, but they honestly exceeded my expectation. Dusty carried around bobby pins already on hand in case my hair came undone. But the one thing that shocked me was during the reception, Dusty came to our table constantly to check on us, to see if we needed something to drink, eat, or anything at all. It was the kindest gesture and not something I expected at all.
I just can't explain it. THEY WERE ON TOP OF EVERYTHING! THEY ARE A AWESOME COUPLE! MY WEDDING WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN COMPLETE WITHOUT THEM.
I look forward to working with them again in the future :)
THANK YOU DUSTY AND AMY!!!!! I'M SO BLESSED TO HAVE HAD YOU AS MY PHOTOGRAPHERS ON MY WEDDING DAY.
