Dustin was our wedding photographer for our June 2024 wedding at Bear Creek Mountain Resort and we are so thrilled with how our photos came out and the experience he gave us throughout the whole process. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, which is not always easy to do. He also did our engagement photos and the energy he brought to both days was exactly what we wanted. He has high energy and will be just as excited to be apart of your wedding as you are. We would recommend Dustin to any couple getting married or even looking for a photographer that will bring great energy to any photoshoot and will capture amazing moments and memories.
My daughter & son in law hired Dustin as their photographer, and as a parent I am devastated by how it played out. We had some struggles leading up to the wedding day (an extremely close family member passed away 2 days prior). However, Dustin was fun and energetic the wedding day. We had given him a list of super important photos to be taken. I will admit we were distracted dealing with the mixed emotions of the day and were not diligent in making sure he was doing what we requested. After the wedding day we waited & waited for the photos with lots of unanswered emails and explanations of how busy he was. The time lines far exceeding the promised dates. My daughter mentioned she was hoping to use some of the photos as Christmas gifts and promised dates came and went. No photos more excuses more promises. When she received the photos we we were less than impressed. Only 1 pose photo of the bridal party with some heads half blocked in 4 separate shots, family photos with people's eyes closed. And some of the most important photos missing. Dustin called it a glitch, even has a clause in the contract for glitches. But large family photos are "missing" there are no photos to be found of the newlyweds and the brides grandparents (these photos were taken hours apart) It's heartbreaking and devastating. My daughter asked if she could look at all the raw photos he had to maybe salvage something. Dustin declined. I never imagined we should have hired a second photographer to follow Dustin around to guarantee they got what they paid for
I need to edit my initial review from 8/22/22. Unfortunately, it took Dustin 120 days to edit and send back our photos which is a month longer than his estimated 60-90 day return range. We also placed a huge importance on taking extended family photos with him from the very beginning of chatting with him, asked over 100 people to participate in these photos and then when we received our photos back, these were not there. Dustin is unable to find these photos and we then had to go back and tell our guests that they were 'lost.' I would have rather hired someone who would have professionally ENSURED that our photos would be safe and that we wouldn't need to imagine our family memories but actually have the photos we placed an importance on from the beginning.
We came across Dustin as we had a distant friend who is a photographer but he was booked our date, and he suggested Dustin! We used Dustin for our engagement photos and wedding photographer. Dustin and his 2nd shooter Joe were SO MUCH FUN at our wedding. The time that myself, my husband and the two of them were taking portraits around our venue, was one of our favorite parts of the day- we had a blast. We also asked them to take huge family photos, they were amazing. Even all of our guests mentioned how great they were. We loved our engagement photos and can't wait to receive our wedding photos back. We highly recommend booking Dustin!!
Dustin was amazing! I normally hate wedding photographers because of how conspicuous they are and how staged the photos look. I've even compared them to mosquitoes on more than a few occasions. Dustin was nothing like that. He took photos all throughout our wedding as well as doing a "first look" shoot. I barely even noticed him! He had great ideas for photo locations, poses, and timing. Unfortunately for him, our wedding fell on the day his second child was being born, but he didn't complain about being away from it or try to sneak out early. I'm really excited to get our photos back and see how everything turned out!
Dustin and his team made our wedding day so fun! I am so looking forward to getting our wedding photos back from Dustin!
I cannot say enough how amazing Dustin Weiss. From the second we met him and saw his work, we knew we didn't have to look any further. Absolutely incredible and so talented! Guests even commented how friendly and fun he was! We saw our sneak peak of photos and are already in love! Highly recommend to everyone and anyone!

My fiance and I haven't even had our wedding yet and we're already so happy with the work Dustin has done. We met him at the LV bridal show and we immediately loved his relaxed, personable demeanor. After speaking with a few other photographers, we knew there was no contest on who we wanted to work with. When we got back our engagement photos last month, I knew we'd made the right decision. The photos Dustin had taken were so stunning, I almost cried right then and there, something I do not normally do! Not only were the pictures beautiful, Dustin's entire shooting style was exactly what we were looking for. The whole engagement session was like my fiance and I were simply walking around town, with the benefit of a great photographer capturing our little moments together. It was relaxed and not at all awkward, and for people like us who don't particularly enjoy "posed" photos, Dustin gave us exactly the type of pictures we wanted. I can't wait to continue working with him on our wedding next year and see what Dustin will capture on our big day!
Booking Dustin to photograph our wedding was the absolute best decision we made! He is outstanding! He helped make our day stress free and so much more enjoyable. He is fun, creative, and so easy to work with. I can't say enough good things about him and the experience we had with him as our photographer! He truly saw our vision, and captured it greater than we could have ever imagined. He takes such pride in his work, which is evident through his beautiful results. I can't wait to see the rest of our pictures!!
Dustin is amazing! From his friendly, easy going personality to his amazing skills with a camera! He will make not only the bride and groom feel at ease but also your bridal party. My wedding was 2 years ago last month and for my anniversary we were looking over our photos. They depict our happiness wonderfully, every emotion is captured perfectly! Dustin preserved one of the best moments of my life in a way that I when I look back over it all of the emotions are the same as they were that day! Dustin is worth every penny, and then some! I will (and have) recommend(ed) him to everyone who asks! My husband and I continue to use Dustin to capture all the most important moments in our lives.
Dustin was wonderful to work with! We knew when we first met him that he was going to be just the right person for us. He is easy-going and funny and worked well with our entire wedding group. The pictures were amazing! Everyone commented how great they were. We couldn't be happier!
Shortly after getting engaged I started looking into wedding photographers since photography was very important to me on our wedding day. I asked around to get some referrals and one of my friends had recommended Dustin Weiss Photography as she loved her wedding photos. Her wedding was also one of the first weddings Dustin shot so I knew that stood for something for her to recommend him. After looking through his website I was happy with his work. Once I had inquired, he emailed me about different packages and we decided to book and schedule our engagement photo session. He was always so quick at responding and I liked that. The first time we had ever met was at our engagement shoot. He was so down to earth and puts you at ease. Dustin did not disappoint with the location of our engagement shoot and the variety of shots. Our photos came out amazing- we have them displayed in frames and on the walls all throughout our house. We knew our wedding day would be no different. Dustin emailed me before our wedding asking many questions so he knew what we expected of him and our photos. He even called the night before just to verify everything. On our wedding day Dustin was punctual, our bridal party loved him, professional yet personable and he knew the best locations at our venue to take photos. He makes everyone look and feel beautiful. Dustin was there for almost 12 hours capturing every amazing moment. A few weeks after our wedding we met with Dustin so he could reveal our wedding photos to us and they were all so beautiful! He gave us a USB of all our photos and a wedding album and 2 canvases are on the way... We can not wait to see them! Overall hands down Dustin is worth every penny! Not only did the photos exceed our expectations but working with Dustin is such a pleasure. Thank you so much for everything Dustin! Your photos will be a reminder of such a beautiful and memorable day for years to come!

Dustin is hands down the best photographer I've ever met. He's talented but he also cares so much about the people he's working with. He came to do a site visit with us to plan out locations where we could take some wedding pictures and he had amazing ideas that I would've never thought of. Dustin captured Beautiful pictures from our wedding day and he makes it so easy to order the portraits you want via his online website! He also made us feel so comfortable and relaxed with his calm yet funny personality and everyone in our families and wedding party was talking about how wonderful and talented Dustin truly is. We already have more shots booked with Dustin for the future and he's the only photographer I will ever use!
I first met Dustin at 2 separate bridal shows in the Lehigh valley area. At the first bridal show I loved Dustin's work and felt at ease with his personality. I also had liked another photographer who had ok work and a great personality. I was very budget conscious and at the end of the show I had ended up booking the other photographer because he was cheaper. The following weekend I went to another show and again came across Dustin's table. After again speaking with Dustin and looking through his work, I found myself having serious buyers remorse. I lost my brother to a tragic accident just 2 years earlier, so I knew the importance of photos being a visual memory you will always have. Dustin was still available and I felt that if I didn't go with him instead that I would seriously regret my decision and be disappointed with our photos and they would be just "cheap". Refusing to ignore my gut, I booked Dustin on the spot and cancelled with the other photographer. ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS EVER! Dustin's communication with me was always prompt and professional, but still like speaking with an old friend. On the day of our wedding we experienced some heavy rain off and on so it messed with our timeline a bit, but Dustin kept me calm and assured us that he would still get great photos. With his on the spot quick thinking we were able to still get pictures outside when the rain let up for a brief moment. Dustin worked well with my videographer and my entire family/bridal party. His assistant, Tom, was also amazing with the guys and it was awesome how flawlessly he worked in tandem with Dustin. Dustin would interact when he needed to direct certain shots and kept us all laughing and on track, but other times you wouldn't even know he was there. And our pictures are AWESOME SAUCE! We're in love with all of them and can't wait to get our album! I'm so happy that I listened to my gut and made the change to Dustin! He is worth every penny and you get what you pay for!
our wedding is not until October 2015 but as the supper planner we already had our engagement shoot. It was amazing! Everything I wanted and more. We have a puppy and it was very important to us that she was in more of the pictures. Dustin worked with us in every way, helping even Lacey too look her best. He really heard what I was staying and made sure I got all the posses I wanted. He evan was able to incorporate the signs I made into the shoot. I know with out a dought we will have the best save the dates and it's all thanks to Dustin!
Dustin is an absolutely amazing and talented photographer! I can honestly say that booking him as our engagement/wedding photographer was the best decision we could have made. I first met Dustin at a bridal show and was not only immediately stunned by his work, but also by his friendly and welcoming personality. It is clearly evident that photography is not just a 'job' for him, he is passionate about what he does and enjoys every moment of it (which definitely shows in his work.). Dustin is honestly so easy to work with. He cares about your opinion, and does what benefits you! My fiancé is not one who likes to be in front of the camera, but Dustin made him feel so comfortable that he even smiled with teeth(which says ALOT if you knew my fiancé.). Our engagement photos were beyond amazing, and better than anything I could have ever asked for. With this in mind I know there is no need to stress about wedding photos because I am confident Dustin will produce gorgeous pictures there too! I very very highly recommend Dustin! Amazing quality and an amazing person! You won't regret your choice!
Dustin and his assistant were awesome!! Dustin was in bushes, laying on the ground, and standing on rocks in the creek to get good shots. They were laid back and made us laugh. We would recommend them to anyone and everyone. :)
Dustin Weiss has a true gift for photography. Not only does he capture the physical reality of each photograph, he also accurately and realistically depicts the emotions and feelings of the subjects in his beautiful photographs. The love he has for his work shows in all his photographs. He is a professional, thoughtful, artist and a master in composition. When I look at the photographs of my
son's wedding the emotions that Dustin recognizes and captures bring tears to my eyes every time. Thank you for an excellent photographic journey.
After the reception venue and DJ, the photographer was the next more important vendor to my now-husband and me. The photos are some of the only things you have left when the wedding is all over, so we really wanted to pick a top notch photographer who was also reasonably priced. We did a lot of research and comparing, but Dustin stood out from the rest. From the first time we met with him, to shooting our engagement pictures, to the actual wedding day, Dustin was so great to work with. He was very friendly, charismatic and laid back, but he was also very professional. We had so much fun at our engagement session, that I knew capturing our wedding was going to be just as wonderful. I was pretty nervous the wedding morning, but as soon as Dustin arrived, all of my anxiousness melted away. He made everyone feel so relaxed and comfortable. His second photographer Tom was awesome too! They had a great dynamic that kept us laughing all day. Our parents and the bridal party were so impressed with Dustin as well. Since our engagement pictures turned out so beautiful, clear and crisp, I know our wedding pictures will be just as amazing. I can't wait to see them! None of our pictures felt staged or unnatural. Dustin's photography style is timeless, and the quality of his prints speaks for itself. I know we won't look back on our wedding photos in 20 years and think they were too trendy or cheesy. I highly recommend Dustin as a wedding photographer to any future bride; you won't be disappointed! You and your fiancé/husband are truly the center of his work.
Words cannot express just how overjoyed we were with the wedding photos. Not only do we look like one heck of a beautiful/handsome group of people, but gosh EVERY picture is gorgeous. We were in awe at how the pictures capture how truly joyous we felt that day, they exude our happiness!!!!
We are so thankful to have found someone who meshed with us as a couple as well as Dustin did. His calm, playful, chill, demeanor really made even the most high strung of the girls (there were a few) really mellow out and enjoy. We will happily display our photos FOREVER. I guess if we ever have children we'll have to make some room but I'm ready to hang them up everywhere in the house. (Just kidding...sort of!) We highly recommend Dustin and his team-worth EVERY cent!
Seeing the photos from my wedding was close to the best part of the whole ordeal - falling just behind committing to the love of my life (and seeing him cry for the first time in 5 years together) and being surrounded by my favorite people. We tried to keep things simple and real throughout the whole wedding process, but nothing went as smoothly as working with Dustin Weiss.
First of all, my husband and I are both a little socially awkward. Calling vendors and setting things up was the most dreaded task of planning our wedding. However, Dustin was really comfortable, easy to talk with, flexible, and probably the only vendor we encountered who really listened to our input without pushing his own agenda. We called Dustin just four weeks before our wedding because a plans with photographer-acquaintance fell through. He was amazingly able to set us up with an associate photographer and alleviate our stress.
On the wedding day, the photographer Tom was really flexible about what group shots to get and where to take our pictures. We took a lot of pictures of just my husband and me. It was great because we got some alone time, and we felt totally comfortable in those intimate moments even though Tom was right there taking pictures.
I really like the interface of the online photo gallery. Our friends and family can see all the pics, and can order prints if they want. It fits our needs just fine!
My husband and I first met Dustin at a Bridal Expo, and immediately noticed how personable, open and energetic he is. Not only that, but the quality and beauty of his work spoke for itself. So when we met with him during our search for our photographer a few months later, it solidified our notion that he is exactly in sync with what we wanted. I, for one, was extremely anxious about the photography for our wedding, and possibly not being able to communicate what I wanted. So one of the first things I blurted out during our meeting was "I just...want everything!", and instead of running away right then and there, Dustin's response was a confidently nonchalant, "No problem, I know exactly what you mean...I gotcha covered." We certainly believed him, and he certainly delivered! Our engagement and wedding photos (what we've seen so far) are absolutely divine. He does whatever it takes and tells you whatever you need to do to make sure he gets 100% beautiful shots every time.
On top of his beautiful work, Dustin is professional without losing any of his energy and fun personality. Everyone's joking the whole time he's shooting, and it feels so natural that when you see the shots later on, your first thought is "I don't even remember that happening!" followed by "I didn't know I/he/she could look so gorgeous!"
The planning process with Dustin was also very thorough; he'll make sure to get in touch with you if needed, and answer any correspondence promptly. He has fantastic knowledge and resources for all aspects of his services, and I don't believe you'll find much better value for the quality you get with Dustin Weiss Photography. Our engagement, wedding and the entire planning process was better because he was our photographer!!
Please consider Dustin Weiss Photography for your wedding day! As an amateur photographer myself, the photos were a huge deal to me. I was searching not for only quality and skills from a photographer but also his/her personality. Luckily, I found Dustin who has met our criteria! Dustin was absolutely amazing, friendly, laid-back and very helpful. He and his assistant truly captured wonderful moments on our big day and we had so much fun working with them! We saw our album and could not be any happier! Dustin really went above and beyond, listened to our ideas and really worked with us to get the most beautiful shots. I would recommend Dustin Weiss Photography to anyone!
We live in Allentown, PA and had our wedding in Pittsburgh. Since we had met Dustin and seen his work, his dedication and love for photography was apparent.
Throughout the entire day of our wedding, Dustin was on point. It was an unusally warm day on December 21st in Pittsburgh. We received a lot of rain, but despite that, he and his assistant photograper embraced the challenge. His creative eye, flexibility, and energy are qualities any couple would want in their photographer. We highly recommend Dustin Weiss Photography!
Dustin and his assitant were tons of fun very cool, calm, and collected. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and allowed us to have our moments. He was a little aloof during the planning process (I would have to remind him of my dates and details every time we talked) but the photos were gorgeous. The best part was he can do indoor photography just as well as outdoor, natural light photography. He is a true, technically trained, photographer.
Dustin is an amazing photographer and truly a joy to work with. He was helpful, intuitive about the whole process, and so easy and kind to interact with. I would highly recommend him and his photographers to anyone looking for a great deal.
Dustin was AMAZING. He was always available to answer any questions I had and really put me at ease. I thought that my wedding photographer would be just a photographer, but Dustin is so much more. He has a true gift with his photography skills, but also in his ability to deal with problems on a wedding day. Obviously nothing goes absolutely perfect, and when the pastor of my church kicked us out during pictures, he was the one to calm me down and ensure me that we got more pictures than I thought we did and we would make sure we get all the pictures I wanted at our outdoor location. In a moment that could have made me lose it, he was the one who kept me calm and focused on the importance of the day. The pictures I have seen so far are breath-taking. I have had so many people tell me that they are the most beautiful pictures they have ever seen and I am so so pleased with the quality of the pictures. He did an unbelievable job at capturing every moment of our wedding day. I would whole-heartedly recommend Dustin to anyone looking for the perfect photographer!
