Dustin Finkelstein
Owner
When I’m not shooting weddings you can find me at home with my wife, Nicole, and our corgi, Elvis. We enjoy trying new foods (and drinks) or cooking at home. I’m typically referred to as the grill master most Sunday afternoons. I try to hit the bike trail a few times a week and will stop by to help my wife on her Herb Farm. I love music from 70’s , movies from 80’s and tv from 90’s , but none of those are mutually exclusive.
Let’s set up a time to meet. We’ll have some coffee, chat about your life, your love and the celebration you’re planning.

Dustin is an outstanding photographer and a lovely person. We liked him immediately. Instead of jumping right into plans for photographing our wedding, he started by getting to know us--asking questions about how we met and putting us at ease. Wedding planning is SO STRESSFUL, but he has such a warm and reassuring demeanor. We knew that we were in good hands. The day of the wedding, he showed up early, stayed late, blended seamlessly into the festivities, and took a ton of excellent photos. We were really pleased with them. And our guests loved the photobooth. We had been on the fence about whether or not we needed one, but it's so fun and super simple to use. My only regret, honestly, is that we didn't spring for videography. It's absolutely the only thing that I would change about the experience. Thank you, Dustin!

Dustin was absolutely amazing!! He was easy to get in touch with, especially since I was booking from out of state, and extremely accommodating to our very unique elopement. My husband and I travelled down from Massachusetts to get married at Bristol Motor Speedway on the day of the Xfinity race. He was attentive to details, and his photos were absolutely incredible!! Highly recommended!!!

We LOVED Dustin! He's a super cool person who is easy to reach and is super flexible (we changed our timeline the night before our wedding because of a forecasted storm) and he arrived two hours earlier than originally planned. He made everyone feel very comfortable and everyone at our wedding was impressed by how hard he was working. He got 98% of the shots we wanted (only reason it wasn't 100% was because of the rain, no fault of his) and the photographs are INCREDIBLE!!! We're blown away by the quality and quantity of photos, and how quickly we got them back! Definitely book Dustin if you can, I can't say enough great things about him as a photographer and person :)

Loved having Dustin as part of our day.
Our August wedding was a HOT one and he made it work for us and our wedding party and guests.
We had a destination wedding so we weren’t able to meet him in person or do a traditional engagement shoot - he recommended another kind of shoot to accommodate us! we instead had him come to our rehearsal/welcome party and are so pleased that we got to meet him before our big day and that that shoot was more casual and captured much of our personalities.
He was very easy to communicate with leading up to wedding day - I was able to email and get quick responses, we had video chatted with him and he followed up via phone call the week before the wedding to make sure things were set.
Following the photo shoots, I requested a few sneak peeks because I was impatient, and he was able to get a few sent and selected some of our favorites from our day.
The gallery delivery was very timely and the software he utilized is very easy to use and organized.

It was a great pleasure to work with Dustin and to have him capture our perfect wedding day in Tennessee.
Dustin was from the first time I reached out to him, and all the way up until our pictures were ready very professional, very helpful and friendly, and always available and responsive.
We were not sure if we needed the help of a professional photographer at our wedding, but the beautiful pictures Dustin has taken for us was definitely the right decision! Beautiful pictures, great poses and also amazing pictures of the small moments during our special day.
I would definitely recommend Dustin to anyone looking for a photographer for any occasion.
Thank you for the beautiful pictures and memories Dustin!

We are IN LOVE with our wedding pictures!! We are so glad we booked Dustin- our pictures are BREATHTAKING and he got all 900 of them back to us in less than a week!! My husband and I are not the picture taking type and don’t know how to pose or act around a camera- Dustin is great at making the most of everything, letting you know how to pose and making us laugh and smile naturally. He truly is a professional and his photos speak for themselves. We could not be happier!!

Dustin did an AMAZING job with both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. They’re all so incredible and our friends and family agree. I can’t wait to print all of them to enjoy and give them as gifts for our friends and family. Dustin was easy to work with, organized, and responsive! He made us feel comfortable and got us laughing when posing felt a little awkward. We appreciated every moment of working with him and the energy he brought to our wedding. Nicole was also fantastic to work with at the wedding. Good vibes all around and also worth calling out that Dustin connected us with Bat City Beats which gave our wedding the best DJ! Trust all of his recommendations because they’re worth it! We’d hire Dustin again any day. 10/10 would recommend!!

We got married on April 15th, 2023 and had Dustin as our photographer, he also did our engagement shoot back in October 2022, and we loved him!
We were so so lucky to have Dustin and Nicole be the one’s to capture our wedding day! They were so friendly, and kept things casual but professional throughout the whole day. We never felt rushed or pressured to do photos, even the formal portraits, and that was a huge thing for us, we had a great time shooting our post-ceremony pictures! Our guests also all had great things to say, and our bridal party was very happy with the way our formal portraits were handled (despite it being super windy outside!)
Another huge pro about Dustin is that he gets his pictures back to you SO QUICKLY. Both for our engagement shoot and wedding, we had our pictures the week after. It was so nice to get back from our honeymoon and immediately be able to reminisce on our special day.
We cannot rate Dustin highly enough and highly recommend him for all your photography needs!

Dustin and his wife are a phenomenal team! They recently photographed our wedding and we couldn't be happier. They went above and beyond, and they did such an amazing job. They did more to help with our timeline than the planner did, and we were very impressed. If you have small kids, they are great with kids, and you should look no further!

Dustin and his wife Nicole were absolutely amazing to work with. Easy, professional, fun and friendly. The pictures captured our special moments perfectly and we loved Dustin's use of light and surrounding scenery to make the pictures unique. We also received our photo library back in record time, before we even got back from the honeymoon!

We found looking for a photographer the most overwhelming of all our vendors, and we are so happy we stumbled upon Dustin! Dustin and his wife Nicole are so talented!!! We have so many incredible, artsy, beautiful shots...too many to choose from to frame! Our detail shots look like they belong in a magazine, and the formal family photos are incredible. He was also able to capture so many great candid moments during the reception.
Despite not having shot with Dustin before our wedding day, his kind and calm demeanor put us at ease immediately. Even during intimate moments like our private vows, he quietly caught the perfect shots. Dustin is very fun to work with, and can I say it again? TALENTED.
This is a great value for the quality of photos you will get, and he also got us all of our photos extremely quickly!

Dustin is incredible at what he does! He and his wife make a great team on the day of getting all of the shots. Dustin was so easy to work with along the way and made the process so easy for us. He and his wife grabbed all of the shots we wanted, and more. They were so helpful on the day of rallying everyone together for group shots and making it easy for us to enjoy the moments with our couples shots. The turn around time for the pictures was amazing and all of the pictures are beautiful- we will cherish them forever. We are so happy with Dustin and cannot recommend him enough!!!

Thank you so much, Dustin! I’m so glad I found you!

If you want the best photographers who get your pictures back to you in record time and aren’t annoyingly in the way on your special day then Dustin and his wife are it! He even got amazing pictures of our stubborn dog who wouldn’t listen at all. He was efficient. We would highly recommend him for any event or family pictures!

Dustin was amazing! We had a video meeting with Dustin prior to the wedding and got a good feel of his style of photography. Me and my husband had never done a photo shoot until we had our engagement session at our venue prior the wedding. He made the whole process so easy and fun. He was very punctual and very professional. He also was able to bring an additional photographer for the wedding day which was amazing. The turn around time for both our engagement and wedding photos was so fast and look absolutely beautiful! We are so excited to choose our final photos to go in our printed photo album that Dustin offers. 100% recommend!

Dustin was the best photographer we could ever hope for! He arrived early at the wedding venue and we were running late because of my makeup artist, but we were really able to count on his flexibility. He was so professional and easy to work with; he did a fantastic job even in a chaotic day. He took very artistic photos and made great use of the natural beauty of the wedding venue. He listened to all our requests about emphasizing the nature around us in the photos. He was also always available to reach via email and phone. I interviewed ~15 photographers and at the end decided to go with Dustin because of how much I liked his portfolio and his 3-hour short wedding package. I am so glad I chose him for my wedding!

My husband and I had the BEST experience with Dustin Finkelstein Photography! Dustin really took the time to understand what we were looking for, and we couldn't be happier with how our wedding photos turned out! We were surprised and delighted to see a number of beautifully shot photos (both posed and candid) of our guests, taken at different points throughout the day. Dustin and his wife Nicole (our second photographer) were not only very professional and efficient but also warm spirited and just lovely to be around. They make a great team and really know their craft - and it shows in the photos! From our initial consultation with Dustin to those final snapshots on the dance floor, we couldn't be more thrilled with the whole experience. We would recommend them for any event! Thank you Dustin Finkelstein Photography!

Dustin is fantastic and I cannot say enough good things about him! He was able to provide us with a videographer through his company as well, a second photographer (his wife Nicole who was super sweet), and a DJ! We are not the most photogenic people but he was able to take gorgeous pictures for both our engagement and wedding. We got our engagement photos back within 2 days, and our wedding pictures in less than a week! He also did a heck of a job wrangling our family and friends for group photos. AMAZING!!!

Dustin is simply wonderful - super easy-going to the point you feel like you’re on a casual walk with a friend who occasionally snaps photos. He strikes a perfect balance of being direct when necessary with capturing spontaneous moments. He managed to wrangle our large extended blended family with ease amidst nonstop, 40mph winds and still managed to find beautiful moments. He had our proofs online within days, and they were beyond what we hoped for - thanks Dustin!!

All I can say is WOW! Dustin did such an incredible job with our wedding photos and impromptu maternity shoot. He was so patient, easy going, communicative, and fun to be around. His pictures turned out stunning and I am so glad we picked him. We did a small intimate wedding and he had a wedding package that was perfect for us since it was such an intimate event. We can't thank him enough! Highly recommend!

Dustin was so easygoing and clearly knowledgeable from the beginning. We had an opportunity to meet with him over video several times before the day of our wedding, which was very helpful in ironing out the details and helping us to feel more at ease. On the day of, Dustin and his fellow videographer did a phenomenal job choreographing us for all the necessary photos we had requested and even captured a few personal moments that meant the world to us. His turnaround time for receiving our final product consisting of hundreds of impressive and vivid photographs, along with a few other selected items included in the package, was surprisingly fast.
We would highly recommend Dustin for your wedding or any event, and we plan to give him a call for our anniversary party next year.
Thank you so much, Dustin! Excellent work!

We hired the photo booth and DJ (Neema) through Dustin Finkelstein. I very much enjoyed working with Dustin. He was incredibly responsive (and often would respond to my emails within a few minutes!)
After the wedding, I received feedback from my guests that the photobooth ran out of paper. I was a little surprised to hear this, as it was a fairly small wedding. I emailed Dustin to let him know and he immediately rectified the situation. I really appreciated his professionalism and willingness to make it right.
Neema was a fantastic DJ! He has an uncanny ability to read the room and did a wonderful job of catering to his audience. It’s no wonder that my day of coordinator couldn’t stop raving about him! Neema was a little slow to respond to emails, but he absolutely delivered on the wedding day! Overall, I thought he did amazing!

Dustin is an AMAZING photographer! He helped us navigate our engagement photos (where/when/how) and our wedding day photos. He has photography experience all over Austin and knows the best spots. He took extra time to make sure our 5 yr old daughter was at ease and that was greatly appreciated. Our guests fell in love with his super swanky, chill vibe and his ability to blend into the party. Dustin captured beautiful, silly, crazy, and some shocking moments that I'm so grateful to have from our wedding day.

The entire experience from the very beginning was absolutely amazing and more than we could have asked for. We planned a very quick elopement because of scheduling constraints on our end and Dustin rose to the challenge! Within a week or so, we met virtually, shared our story, established what we wanted to accomplish and developed a timeline for the big day. He personalized this experience for us and we really feel he captured the heart of our family and special moments throughout the day. His portfolio speaks for itself - beautiful images, spectacular lighting, and a wonderful flow. We can’t recommend Dustin enough!

For two people who absolutely shy away whenever a camera is pointed in our direction, Dustin was the perfect photographer to capture such an important milestone in our lives. Both the engagement shoot and wedding day were captured beautifully all while maintaining a super laid back approach to help us feel comfortable. In fact, aside from Dustin grabbing us for some photos once or twice, we were allowed to go about our big day mostly uninterrupted, soaking up every minute and knowing full well that we were in the best hands with him and his wife Nicole. Months later, Dustin is still wowing us as we just received our flawless photo album that we will forever cherish.

We loved working with Dustin! He was very accommodating due to the pandemic and worked with us to get a new date rescheduled. Keira was our photographer and she got amazing shots.

Dustin and his team were absolutely the best! We had continuous communication with Dustin as our wedding plans had to be modified (COVID-19) and we were able to have family and friends join us virtually as he added the streaming service to accommodate our situation. Keira was our lead photographer, and she was creative and very professional. Working with Keira and Joe for our wedding was so pleasant, they made us feel very comfortable. They captured the best moments without us noticing when they were in action. The composition and light of the pictures were very special, and we would choose them again. The packages are very affordable, and prices are fully disclosed in his website along with ample photos in his portfolio where you can see his work and get inspired for your event.

Dustin is by far the best vendor we worked with throughout the planning process of our #coronawedding. He was extremely communicative, very easy to work with and really allowed us to not worry whatsoever about the photography. He's absolutely at the top of his craft and the pictures exceeded all expectations. To add, he was very receptive and reasonable with all the changes we had to make to our event due to covid. Thank you Dustin for the memories!

Also, he's affordable. I definitely recommend him!

Dustin has become our family wedding photographer. He photographed my sister, cousin’s and now my wedding!! When I got engaged there wasn’t a question on who I wanted my photographer to be. He had done an amazing job for my sisters and cousins weddings that I knew I had to have Dustin for mine too!
Dustin and his wife are so kind and very professional! I couldn’t have asked for better people to take pictures of our special day. He makes sure to get all of your requested shots in and so much more. After the wedding he had all of the pictures to us within days and they turned out amazing! I highly recommend and know you won’t be disappointed.

We used Dustin and his wife Nicole as the two photographers for our wedding day and could not have made a better decision. They were so incredibly easy to work with from the very start. I live in Houston, so I had to rely on online sources to find a photographer. I came across Dustin and set up a time to talk with him over the phone. He was very professional, flexible, and responsive. In our early conversations I could tell that he was going to be a good fit since he said he really enjoyed taking candid shots over posed photos. I wanted someone who could capture all of the special moments from the day, and not just take nice portraits (although he did a great job at that too). Dustin and Nicole did a phenomenal job of directing all of our wedding party and family members to be where they needed to be and when to keep our photos on schedule. They were creative in finding fun shots for us to take and everything felt very natural. I didn’t even notice them during the ceremony and reception. So much so, that I was actually a little worried the next day because I wasn’t sure what kind of photos we would get since I never saw them really taking them. Dustin turned around the photos in a matter of days after our wedding and I was absolutely shocked to see that he and Nicole had been everywhere that day and night! They were like flies on a wall, blending into the crowd, and capturing so many beautiful and natural moments. I especially couldn’t believe all of the fun shots they got during the reception of everyone dancing! All of the photos were flattering (not awkward) and you could just feel the energy coming through in all of the pictures. I cannot stop looking through the photos since they really have let me relive the most perfect day of my life over and over again. I would absolutely recommend Dustin and Nicole to anyone looking for a professional, creative, and easy to work with photographer.

There are so many photographers in Austin, it can be overwhelming. Someone recommended Dustin to me and it was the best decision of the wedding. He is incredible. Our photos are absolutely amazing and way exceeded any expectations I had. I am the last of 4 siblings to get married and everyone agrees that Dustin's photos are by far the best.
Beyond photos, Dustin was just great to have around. His experience with events and weddings was invaluable. There were so many small things he stepped up and helped out with that perhaps another staff member should have done. Don't look any further - Dustin is the best!

We are so incredibly happy with our experience with Dustin Finkelstein Photography. Dustin is not only an extremely talented artist but also great to work with. Our wedding party included 8 bridesmaids, 10 groomsmen, 4 children, a huge & lively family and someone Dustin patiently wrangled us all. He efficiently captured gorgeous pictures and had us ahead of schedule the whole evening. Our wedding day was gorgeous and flew by so fast. Thanks to him we were able to relive every part of the day through the photos. A great surprise was receiving the final photos back within less than a week!
My only initial qualm was that the picture questionnaire was not sent out until 2 weeks before the wedding. For someone who loves planning ahead that made me nervous. But Dustin responded to my emails immediately, answered questions and even called me in person the week of to be sure everything was planned as I expected. Turned out sending the list of photos to him 2 weeks before worked out so well.

Worth every penny! Navigating our budget and figuring out what to prioritize was one of the harder parts of planning our wedding. Being on the other side of the wedding, all I can say is make sure you love your photographer, the photos will last a lifetime. And without a doubt we loved Edmond! From the first meeting we felt so comfortable with him, and his calm energy on the wedding day was greatly appreciated. We received our full gallery less than 2 weeks from the wedding date and are obsessed with the pictures!!! I shopped around a lot, and found Dustin's company to be extremely reasonably priced and they followed through with every promise and then some. If they're on your radar and available on your date, BOOK THEM!

We booked Dustin for our engagement, wedding and post-wedding brunch photos. From our first meeting, he was very professional and personable. He listened to the vision that we had for the wedding and was very helpful with giving suggestions. Communication with Dustin is also great - always available to respond back to emails and phone calls . All of our photos were STUNNING, and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer! We can't wait to book his services again. 100% Recommend.

I cannot possible say enough about Dustin! We feel lucky to have found him!
Dustin shot our engagement photos at Krause Springs and he and his wife shot our outdoor wedding and reception. The photos each time were beyond what we could have imagined or hoped for!
Dustin is a true professional who truly cares for his clients. He is extremely creative, talented and a joy to work with.

From the beginning, the Dustin Finkelstein Photography team was very professional and went above and beyond. We were able to meet with Dustin before choosing them as a vendor to discuss details and he answered all of our questions. The team did a fantastic job on the day of our wedding and captured a large number of high quality images. Our friends and family were very impressed by all the photos and the team's quick turn around time. We definitely recommend Dustin Finkelstein Photography because of their excellent service and impressive work!

Dustin did a wonderful job photographing our small courthouse wedding! My husband and I are not comfortable in front of the camera AT ALL, but you would never know this from looking at our wedding photos! Dustin did a terrific job in helping us to figure out poses that looked relaxed and natural and I couldn't be happier with the results. He even managed to get some great pictures at the courthouse and it had the worst fluorescent lighting! Booking Dustin Finkelstein Photography was one of the best decisions we made. Highly recommend!

We loved working with Dustin! He was communicative, punctual, professional, and went along with our silly senses of humor. My husband and I wanted our photos to be a reflection of ourselves and Dustin ran with that. From nerdy Christmas sweaters and awesome poses on top of a children’s rock climbing boulder, to goofy faces and sweet dance moves on our wedding day, Dustin and Nicole captured these precious moments beautifully. We also added on his Photobooth option which was a big hit with our guests. On top of all of this, we were sent our photos in less than a week for both our engagement shoot and wedding day! I highly recommend Dustin Finkelstein Photography.

Dustin, Nicole and Joe were so much fun to work with! They were thoroughly professional, throughout the wedding planning and the event days Dustin remained available to answer any of our questions. He got to know us through this process and helped us make a custom package that would best suit our wedding!
The pictures have come out so well and they managed to capture all the candid moments between us and our loved ones!
We highly recommend Dustin Finkelstein Photography for your events!

Dustin Finkelstein Photography did an amazing job with our wedding and engagement photos. He and his wife were easy to contact, quick to respond, kind, and thorough. They made sure to capture all the perfect moments, angles, and came up with some creative ideas for our photo shoots. They were also extremely professional, fun to be around, and the turn around time for the photos was so quick! I would 100% recommend booking with them - and their pricing is so reasonable! We plan to have more photo shoots with them in the future.

Dustin and his wife were fantastic! Dustin was great at giving us direction, but also listening to our ideas and vision. We got our photos back only a few days after our wedding, and can't stop looking at them! We so appreciate Dustin and his wife's hard work in capturing our big day (we had a very large wedding party!). We couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out!

Dustin was great to work with and was very patient with us on the shoots. We hard a large group to shoot after the wedding and we got through it all without a hitch. His style will really capture those precious moments and we felt the photos expressed the love we have for each other. I can't recommend Dustin enough! Best value we got for the wedding and the photos came out great!
