We had the best time with Dustin and the Waller Weddings team as our wedding photographer and videographer. Dustin took incredibly beautiful photos, and he had this perfect style t...
hat made us very comfortable and at ease. He struck a perfect balance of guidance and direction to capture photos but also stepped back and silently took candid photos after big moments like our first look and after the ceremony. Dustin helped provide a foolproof timeline and was very professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend using Waller Weddings as your photographer!
Dustin and his team were truly a delight to work with for my wedding! He is so kind, creative, attentive, profressional, positive, energetic and makes you feel at ease during your ...
event. My husband does not like to take photos and he had nothing but great things to say about Dustin. And the pictures of course were amazing! Do not hesitate to book Dustin for your next event, you won't regret it!
We hired Waller Weddings as our wedding videographer and we're so glad we did! We spoke with Dustin about what we envisioned our wedding video to be, and he delivered! He’s so easy...
to work with and made us feel so comfortable on the day of our wedding. He had a vision for some epic sunset videos and captured them perfectly even though he had only a few minutes before the sun went down. He edited our video so beautifully and he was quick to make minor edits on our final videos based on our feedback. Our family and friends said they were in tears reliving our magical day (as were we!). We highly recommend working with Waller Weddings!
There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing Dustin and Courtney are! We hired them as our photographers, videographer, and photo booth for our wedding, which was the best dec...
ision we made! Not only are they the kindest and most genuine people you will ever meet, they are also so talented and passionate about what they do! I loved how we told them the kinds of pictures we would like and they delivered that on another level, they got inspired during the pictures to do certain poses, which made for pictures that we can’t wait to frame! The fact that we were able to hire photography, videography and our photo booth through them was so incredible and made everything flow so much better. Their photo booth came with a photo booth attendant which made such a difference and I truly have never seen a better photo booth than this one at a wedding! They also were able to guide us since we are awkward and never take pictures quite like this, we never felt uncomfortable the entire picture-taking time! Everyone at our wedding can’t stop talking about how amazing our pictures turned out and we couldn’t agree more! These are some of the most special pictures we will ever take and we were so lucky to have Waller Weddings capture our special day.
The Wallers were easily one of the best parts of our wedding day. So funny and kind, but also so incredibly talented. They showed us some of the photos on their camera while we w...
ere taking them and they look AMAZING. Their ability to stay on a tight schedule was beyond impressive, especially considering we had 6 young children in a lot of our shots (not an easy task to wrangle toddlers!!). I don't feel particularly comfortable in front of a camera, but the Wallers made me feel so relaxed. They have such a wonderful way about them. Cannot recommend them enough!
We got a photo booth from Waller photos for our wedding and they were amazing! They brought some props which were super fun and they had a really nice background! They also persona...
lize the photos to say the bride and groom's names and the date. Everyone really enjoyed it, I highly recommend whether its for a wedding or just a party!
All I can say is Thank you, Thank you, and Thank you again Waller Weddings for giving us the photos that match and exceed everything we experienced and felt during the best day of ...
our lives. They caught every important moment, smile, and detail both big and small. We will truly cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. They’re so personable and easy to work with even our guests loved them - I mean we had COUNTLESS friends and family come up to us during the event and even months later telling us “I just loved your photographers so much”. They effortlessly coordinated our huge bridal party of 19 for photos and made our family photos look natural instead of stiff and boring. Beyond that, their flexibility was apparent throughout the entire process from what photos we had to have to what photos we forgot we had to have. All in all, I can honestly say that this couple was one of my favorite vendors for our wedding. Thank you for capturing our day better than we could have ever imagined.
Dustin and Courtney were absolutely a God-send! They shot our daughter's wedding, and we were so thankful we chose them. They were easy to work with at the wedding: Careful of del...
icate family situations, sensitive to our (us and our daughter and her husband) requests, polite and unobtrusive. And the results exceeded out expectations! I'm a Graphic Designer, so very selective about colors, lighting and details in the background of photos. Yet I was completely thrilled with the images, as was my husband and daughter / son in law! THANK YOU, Dustin and Courtney, for your professional and loving care for this ever so important event!
This was seriously the best vendor I booked! Booking a wedding photographer is so stressful because you obviously want to have the best photos from your most special day. But you a...
lso want to connect with them and feel comfortable. Dustin and Courtney are that couple that makes you feel like you've known them for years. They were funny, professional, so talented and I just want to hang out with them again because they are so sweet. Not to mention, most importantly, they take INCREDIBLE photos! Like seriously, really beautiful work. We couldn't be happier! So thank you Wallers for making our wedding magical and for capturing all of the perfect moments.
It is hard to put in to words our experience with Waller Weddings. How can we fit in all of the amazingness into one little review? Working with Dustin and Courtney felt more like...
hanging with family and friends versus a business transaction. They are two of the most genuine, fun and talented people I have ever worked with. They are the perfect combination of laid back and professional. From the initial email requesting more information to our planning calls, we were never left feeling anything but happy and confident in our decision to have them shoot our Wedding. They even worked with us on special pricing to accommodate a 9 hour day which we greatly appreciated. Flash forward to our Wedding Day. We, of course, were running a little behind schedule and showed up to the venue about 30 minutes late. Dustin and Courtney were already up and running, shooting the details without anyone prompting them or asking them to - which got us right back on track. The whole day felt very natural and the flow was great! They even managed to wrangle up all 156 of our guests for a fantastic group shot in no time at all. That turned out to be our favorite photo! They captured wonderful candid moments and the most beautiful minute details as well. Nothing felt forced and after the bridal party finished our posed shots, they completely blended in with the guests to the point you didn’t even know they were right there with you. The great service continued long after the wedding. We received teaser photos while we were still on our Honeymoon which was amazing and helped tide us over until we received the remaining photos. They were all beautiful and very well done. We received a link to all of the photos via email and later in the mail a fun personalized carved wooden box with a thumb drive in it, accompanied by a super sweet thank you note and a delicious chocolate bar. That was the perfect touch to tie everything together. We have and will continue to happily recommend Waller Wedding Photography to any Bride or Groom to capture their day!
After meeting Dustin and Courtney at the SB Wedding Expo, we knew they were going to be the perfect fit for us as our wedding photographers. They are extremely down to earth people...
with a beautiful talent. Throughout the entire planning process we were connected and they helped a ton in laying out the day-of game plan. We met with them a few times in person to work through the plan and make sure we were clear on all the little details. On the day of the wedding everything went seamlessly; they fit right in with us and felt like part of the group. We literally didn’t have to worry about a thing; we felt very comfortable during our photo sessions and they were great about keeping our crew together and moving, as you can imagine herding 15+ people isn’t an easy task! During the reception they played a slideshow of photos from earlier in the day which was such a treat! We also used their photobooth, which was a total hoot! Our guests loved it. The turnaround time for the actual pictures was really fast; we have digital rights to everything, and they even sent a sweet box with a USB and other little goodies afterwards. Hands down the Wallers were worth every penny. Highly recommended!
On literally one of the most significant days in your life, you owe it to yourself to have it captured by someone who takes a genuine approach and has the creative capacity capture...
the gravity of your day in the highest form.
As a somewhat critical photographer myself, I was skeptical of wedding photographers in general based on what I had seen in the quality and composition of the photos captured at previous weddings I had attended and seen online.
Dustin and Courtney were recommended to us by a friend, and after meeting them for the first time and viewing their portfolio and getting to know them over a cup of coffee, it was an easy decision to select them as our photographers for our October 2016 wedding. I’ll admit that I’m not the most comfortable when it comes to striking a pose in front of the camera, but they really made it easy for my wife and I to look our best, (graciously letting me know to suck my belly pooch in a little bit) and really took the stress off that aspect of our day.
After receiving access to our final photos, we were completely floored. My wife and I had never had such great photos of ourselves. The composition and exposure were perfect, and they captured all the right moments. I regard these images as some of the best investments of our lives. Please save yourself some trouble and book Dustin and Courtney if you can. You will not be disappointed.
Dustin and Courtney Waller were a complete photag dream team!! They were able to capture our most important memories in such a professional and yet still personal way. I couldn't...
be more impressed. My wife and I feel blessed to have met them and thier beautiful children. I Hilghly recommend you do yourself a favor and book them asap!
We wanted timeless memories and that is exactly what we got.
My husband and I were beyond pleased with our decision to hire Waller Weddings to do our engagement and wedding day photos! They over exceeded our expectations with their wonderful...
personalities and amazing photography skills. They captured all the right moments! They interacted with us, our wedding party, family, and friends in such a fun way that they seemed like they fit right in. The way they conducted themselves was the perfect combination of casual and professional. It assured me that they knew what they were doing, but their casual demeanor didn't add any extra stress into our day. They helped to keep us on time without making us feel rushed. The day went by so quickly, and every time I look back at the photos from that day, I get to reminisce about all the wonderful moments that flew by. Dustin and Courtney are super easy to work with! They are always available for questions. They are very accommodating, and even helped get our wedding party to the venue by driving some of us in their mini-van! They will go above and beyond to make your day amazing and you will get spectacular photos to cherish forever!
The Wallers exceeded any hopes or expectations we had for our engagement and wedding photos. I could've never predicted how fast the wedding day flies by, and yet when we look back...
at the pictures, we feel as if we get to experience it all over again in slow motion. They captured the big moments, the small and intimate moments, the hilarious moments, the special hugs and looks, and we couldn't be more grateful for their passion and talent for what they do. It really shows in their work. They're also incredibly fun to work with. They've become friends throughout the process and made us feel so comfortable. We wish we could do it all over again!
We were quite privileged to have Dustin & Courtney as our wedding photographers. Right from the initial phone call with Dustin, I knew they were going to be incredible to work with...
.
We had a very specific budget that limited our options, but they worked with us to find the right 'package' for what we hoped to get. They were incredibly accommodating and helpful, but most of all they were fun to work with.
I wanted to be as hands-off as possible on our wedding day and leave them be and they couldn't have been more dependable. 'Let the professionals be professionals' was my mindset. It goes without saying they were professional, but what I enjoyed most about them was that we didn't worry about a single thing. Dustin and Courtney took care of everything and I trusted them completely to get what they needed and what we wanted, so both me and my bride-to-be could focus on enjoy our wedding day.
I regarded them not only as great photographers, but as welcomed guests to our wedding. Thanks a MILLION Dustin and Courtney!!!
My husband and I got married on June 26th, 2016 at Gerry Ranch in Camarillo. We came across Waller Weddings as they had previously photographed weddings at our venue. Prior to find...
ing Dustin and Courtney, we had an awful engagement photo-shoot experience, so we knew exactly what we did not want in a photographer for our wedding. Even though we knew what we did not want in a photographer, we still had no idea what we wanted. Once we met with Dustin, we knew he was the one we wanted to capture our wedding day. He was so extremely down-to-earth, listened to our concerns about our engagement photo-shoot, and listened to everything we had to say and made us feel beyond comfortable. Throughout the process Dustin and Courtney were always available, worked with our day-of-coordinator’s timeline and always touched base to make sure they knew the specific shots of the day that we wanted. On the day of they were everything we could have ever asked for and more. They made everyone feel completely comfortable, captured amazing shots without anything being forced or ‘posed’ (which is what we hated from our engagement shoot). We really felt like we were hanging out with more of our friends who just happened to be holding cameras, capturing all of the amazing, important moments. All of our family and friends commented on how awesome our photographers were, how stealthy Dustin is, and how they did not stick out like sore thumbs or make the wedding all about the photos than the experience. On the day of they even provided us with a massive stack of printed teasers! We have no idea how they pulled that one off but really made such a difference and made driving home the day after our wedding that much better because we had those to look through already! After going through all of our photos (provided to us within a month), and after we thought our experience could not get better, they blew us away again. The photos could not have been more perfect. We are beyond thankful and are recommending Dustin and Courtney to all of our newly engaged friends and family. If you are looking for an amazing duo whom genuinely cares about your wedding day experience and capturing it all at the same time, these are the photographers for you!
The Wallers were incredible! They were so fun and comfortable to work with on the day of the wedding and even in the logistics leading up to the wedding. By the end of the day, we...
were good friends! Got the pictures back in a timely manner and they were perfect! You can't go wrong with these guys!
Dustin and Courtney were an absolute joy to work with and they truly are artists! Worth every penny and more.
I can't say enough about how professional, fun, competent, creative and enjoyable Dustin and his team were during my wedding. I also can not stop looking at the wedding photos and ...
video.... over and over.... They are on my screensaver, my wallpaper, everywhere! Besides making me feel completely comfortable, they added a nice fun to the wedding and had my husband and I do creative shots that I am forever grateful to have in our wedding albums. After going through all of the pictures and the wedding video, my family and I couldn't believe all of the places they captured photographs from and they literally had EVERYTHING covered. They don't just do this as a job, I can tell that it is pure FUN for them. We had a wedding at the Santa Barbara Courthouse and the reception at the Riviera and they captured the brilliance of both environments. Dustin takes a lot of care of each and every detail and his team of the videographer and co-photographer really made my wedding so super special. Additionally Dustin helped me to put together a video of our childhood photos for a slideshow I had presented at the wedding which was very aesthetic. Thank you for everything and you are HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended!!!!
My husband and I truly cannot say enough great things about Dustin and Courtney Waller. We met the Wallers nearly a year before our wedding at a cafe and just and talked ideas for ...
over an hour. In addition to being extremely professional, they were personable and "real" and just a pleasure to work with! Throughout our planning process, Dustin and Courtney answered every question we had and were extremely meticulous about planning our preferred photo list. On wedding day, they went above and beyond to make the entire bridal party comfortable and created a fun and easy going atmosphere (which the groomsmen especially appreciated). The two traveled from various venues throughout the day to make sure they captured every aspect of our wedding day. Now that we have seen the pictures, we LOVE them even more! Our pictures are incredible and each time we look through them we relive the genuine happiness we felt that day. We would hire Dustin and Courtney over and over and have already talked about how we plan to hire them for events in the future. THANK YOU Wallers for capturing the best day of our lives!
We can't recommend them highly enough. We were organizing everything from Japan and not doing a very good job of it. Dustin managed to coordinate all our ideas and take fantastic p...
ictures of everything too.
Thanks to them we have a beautiful record of our most special day. It is something we will treasure for the rest of our lives.
We're so glad to have caught Dustin & Courtney in October 2014 (a year before our wedding) on our way out of a small wedding showcase in Santa Barbara. They're warm, genuine and th...
eir work is beautiful. We booked them right away, even tho we won a $300 discount from another photographer. We met with Dustin at our wedding venue (Cold Spring Tavern) a month before our wedding day and it felt more like hanging out with an old friend than meeting a vendor. Dustin helped us with our timeline for the day, which we were clueless about! On our wedding day, Dustin and Courtney came on time and blended in with our family and friends right away. We felt super comfortable with them the entire time and trust me, my husband and I are camera shy introverts. They even took us on a mini adventure before our ceremony for some awesome outdoor photo ops. They stayed the entire night of our wedding reception and afterwards, friends came up to tell us that they enjoyed meeting and talking to Dustin and Courtney. We'd get married all of over again just to hang out with them, one of the sweetest, humble people we've met. Can't wait to see our pics, which we're certain will be just as awesome as they are. Waller Weddings FTW!
Dustin and his wife Courtney were absolutely wonderful photographers for our wedding day. From the very beginning I knew it was a good fit, because they were professional but frien...
dly and comfortable. My husband and I felt so relaxed during the photos at the wedding, because Dustin and Courtney made everything feel so natural and authentic! They are a wonderful couple and I would highly recommend them as photographers for any big event. Our pictures came out beautifully and I believe the price of their service was an excellent value. Thanks Waller Weddings!

I can't imagine our wedding without the one-of-a-kind team of Dustin and Courtney Waller. They were worth every penny, and more.
We can't recommend them enough. Their pictures ...
make our big day look even more magical than I remember it being. Every emotion was captured. The shots they took were so inventive, and the attitude they brought to our wedding day was fun and professional. By the time the day was over, I felt like they were part of our wedding party.
We hung our wedding photos all over the house. We've had so many compliments. They make me wish I could get married all over again (and work with them one more time)!
We met Dustin and Courtney at a bridal show in Santa Barbara. There were photographers EVERYWHERE. We were pretty frustrated and discouraged. Their photos looked fine, but there...
wasn't a real connection with the photographer(s). Then we stumbled upon the Wallers.
Right away I could tell their style was above and beyond the others. The emotion the couples were feeling in their photographs was very obvious and translated so well in the pictures. The set ups, angles, and use of lighting were super clever, so right away we wanted to check out more of their work.
While the other photographers were making hard sales; telling us about all their experience, who they shot, how good they were (blah, blah, blah), Dustin and Courtney gave us a lot of space and humbly let their craft do the talking. We immediately knew we had to do whatever we could to book these two. We were certain we wouldn't be able to afford them, but when they gave us their qoute, we were floored. The value was right in our sweet spot. We pounced like a couple of starving lions.
Moreover, than the ease of choosing them was their availability to us. They checked in with us at the right times and helped organize our thinking so we could make the best of the experience. It's so easy to feel overwhelmed with so much going on in the last few weeks and days leading up to the wedding. Knowing that we had a smart, hip duo with a keen eye and fantastic organization working with us let us breathe a sigh of relief.
The day of the wedding went as smooth as silk. We opted to do a "first glance" pic at a spot they had never been to. They were so clutch. In minutes they had the placed scouted to capture this very important shot. If I could load those pics up into this review, I would. They're classics our kids and grandkids will love to see.
The rest of the night was SO MUCH FUN!! Courtney and Dustin stayed as long as they could and captured incredible moments with friends and family. They were always at the right spot, at the right time. They gave us free range to pull them over in an instant to grab any pic. By the end of the night, my tie was wrapped around my forehead and Dustin was right there to snap it!!
Two things happened in that season with the Wallers. One, we were blessed to have the absolute best wedding photographers around to capture our moment. Two, we became friends - and not the type of "friends" you check in with from time to time on Facebook. Real friends.
Stop your search and make your appointment to meet these two special people. You will not be dissapointed.
Dustin and Courtney did an absolutely amazing job photographing the day of our wedding. From the beginning they were very professional and prompt answering any questions we had. Th...
e day of they showed up at the time we planned for them to be there. While I was getting ready with my mom and the girls I did not even notice Courtney in the room. The whole day they just blended in and were not intrusive at all. Their pictures captured the whole day and told the story from beginning until the end. They are both so much fun and helped the whole posed picture process flow smoothly. They were able to make it more relaxing than stressful and I knew that they would capture all the pictures that I wanted. By the next day they had already sent us about 50 teasers! While opening gifts with family and friends we were able to look at the pictures and remember the day all over again! We got the rest of our pictures within a month and there are so many stunning pictures it has been hard deciding which ones to print!
To me, one of the most difficult parts in planning a wedding is choosing your vendors. If you don't know someone who knows someone or have a referral, you're left to scavenge and s...
ort through all the reviews online. Even then, how do you which vendor is the right fit for you?
The wedding gods were smiling down on us when we came across Waller Wedding Photography. Their website drew me in, reflecting creativity and family values (with photos of their babies, awe!) We set up a phone interview with Dustin and ended up chatting for almost an hour! Usually the grooms are not as involved in the planning process, but my husband said right then and there we needed to hire Dustin and Courtney before someone scooped up our wedding date. When we met Dustin in person to go over details, he was warm, laid back, and down to earth. Exactly what we wanted ☺
Dustin and Courtney were very fun and easy to work with. Our family and wedding party who were involved with photos loved how funny Dustin was. We even had recently married couples tell us they wish they had Dustin and Courtney as their photographers. After the wedding hustle and bustle, the USB with our final photos came in an amazing and thoughtful package. We would recommend Waller Wedding Photography over and over again!
Dustin and Courtney, thank you for capturing our special day so we may remember each moment!
My husband and I highly recommend Dustin and Courtney Waller for wedding photography.
We were originally introduced to the Wallers from a recommendation from a friend who had th...
em photograph her wedding. At first we were hesitant because the Wallers were out of our price range. After meeting with them and seeing their photographs on their website, we decided to splurge. My husband and I agree that they were worth every penny!
Dustin and Courtney are a great couple to work with. When it forecasted rain on our engagement shoot we were able to push it back a day, which was closer to Courtney's baby due date. Dustin did a FANTASTIC job at multiple locations despite keeping an ear out for his phone informing him that Courtney had gone into labor. His intuition was spot on as she ended up going into labor the next day!
The day of the wedding the Waller's were very easy going. Throughout the ceremony and reception my husband and I didn't notice them as they seamlessly took photos as we remained enjoying ourselves in the present moment. When we did more staged photoshoots (bride/groom, family, bridal party) we felt they put us at ease in front of the camera. Typically I get really shy when taking photos but the day of the wedding I felt like I could just be myself and the photos reflected that.
The photos came out amazing and my husband and I will cherish them for a lifetime!!! Without any reservations we recommend the Wallers!!!
Dustin & Courtney are hands down the best wedding photographers out there. When we had to move our wedding date up by six months, they still made it work and sacrificed their own w...
edding anniversary in the process. The best part about these two is not only are they incredibly gifted photographers, they are also the most sincere and laid-back couple you will find. We love everything about the treasures they created for us and would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a high-quality and enjoyable experience!
In one word, our experience with Dustin was AMAZING! From start to finish, Dustin was so easy to work with. As soon as we had met with him, Dustin put my mind at ease about our cho...
ice of photographer! His experience and ability to relate to both my husband and I on a personal level helped me have one less thing to worry about on our wedding day. Dustin was extremely professional but still much fun to work with! He asked for our personal input but guided us with his expertise. We had such a great time discussing the wedding day photos with Dustin that even my husband, who dreaded the photography part of our wedding, looked forward to the experience. On the day of the ceremony, Dustin was great at corralling the family (and with my large family this was no easy task!) During the shoot with just my husband and I, Dustin used his creativity to capture beautiful moments that were both artistic and emotional. He kept us laughing and enjoying the moment. There ended up being so many amazing photos that it will be a hard task to narrow down what I'll be putting into an album! We couldn't be happier for having found Dustin - he made our wedding day a truly wonderful experience and gave us a lifetime of memories!
Dustin Waller is the real deal. He came as a recommendation from a friend (he shot their wedding), so my fiance and I decided to connect with him for an engagement photo session.
...
From the moment we met him over Skype to the correspondance we've had with him since the photoshoot, he's been nothing short of friendly, professional, and responsive. It doesn't hurt that he's a darn good photographer on top of all that.
He's been more than prompt with his appointments as well as deliverables. His selection of shoot location was perfect. His attitude and demeanor the day-of was fantastic. Very fun to work with - my fiance and I both felt very comfortable posing for pictures (which we normally don't!).
Our pictures turned out incredibly. We're both very happy with the results. I don't think my fiance and I could have found better value for our money. The only "minus" is that he's so far away from where we live... I suppose we'll just have to make our next set of photo needs in Santa Barbara or get him to come out to us :)
5/5 - would work with again!
We can not say enough for Dustin/Courtney and their team! From the second we met with them for coffee, to our engagement session, and finally the wedding, they blew us away. Dustin...
was so professional yet it felt like he was an old friend who you got to laugh with while he just happened to take GORGEOUS photos.
Dustin has a background of shooting high fashion, and he can transform even the the most simple look and moment into something glamorous.
Not only did we love and have a blast with the Waller Wedding team, we had countless compliments from our family, friends and all the other vendors.
They made our day even more special than we could have dreamed up. Anyone looking for someone who can capture every moment and turn it into something beautiful; choosing Waller Weddings for your special day would be the best place to start.
We wish we could do it all over again, just so we could work with Dustin!
-The Burkes
From the first email to Dustin & Courtney to the delivery of the final photos, not one thing could have possibly gone any better. The Wallers exude professionalism while ensuring a...
fun and relaxed atmosphere.
The plenitude of photos were delivered very quickly (as promised) and in a very nicely packaged box of personalized goodies. The photos were beautifully shot by both Dustin and Courtney and exquisitely processed; the shots perfectly captured the essence of the venue and time of year. We were both endlessly thrilled with the whole process.
There's so much to worry about when planning a wedding. If you choose Waller Weddings, you simply don't have to worry.
When I first saw this couple at a Santa Barbara Bridal Show I fell in LOVE!! Before even talking with them, their decoration and photographs they presented at the show were just am...
azing!! Then seeing that Dustin was wearing a bow tie mad everything better!! After talking to them me and my then fiance knew we wanted them as our photographers!! They worked with us and made sure we were getting what we wanted!! When it came down to the wedding they were amazing!! Everyone loved them because they were there taking pictures, but were not in anyones way. When we were taking wedding party pictures they were making everyone laugh and have a good time!! At the reception they had a computer setup showing just a teaser slideshow of some pictures, and they made sure it was okay with us if it was there first which was very nice, because some people don't like to show pictures before they see them. When we got our pictures after the wedding it brought tears to my eyes. They captured such awesome moments and it brought tears to my eye how beautifully they captured everything. We honestly could not have asked for anything better. Sorry this is so long but I could go on and on about how amazing these two are!! They truly made my wedding something to remember and something I want to show my kids, grandkids, and the world how wonderful they are and what amazing photographers they are!! I would TOTALLY recommend this vendor to a friend or anyone!!
The price I put is an estimate, I honestly dont remember how much I paid.
Dustin and Courtney at Waller Weddings are hands down amazing! Right from the beginning, they were responsive, open to hear how we envisioned the day, and overall just a great coup...
le to work with. On our wedding day, their professionalism shined through. They were flexible on timing (since we all know things get behind!) but we never felt rushed or stressed. They captured heartfelt candid shots throughout the day but my family, husband and I never felt like they were intrusive, just integral to making our day perfect. Their work is beautiful and I would recommend them to any of my friends or family!
Dan and I feel so lucky to have had Dustin and Courtney as our wedding photographers! They are so kind-hearted and genuine and we immediately felt comfortable with them. I can't ov...
erstate how important feeling comfortable is when it comes to photographers. Posing for the camera for an extended period of time can be an awkward experience unless you have a photographer that works to make you feel comfortable.
From engagement shoot to the sparkler exit Dustin and Courtney were such a fun couple to work with. Planning a wedding can be so stressful and I often felt like I was just living day to day checking things off my list. But I remember our engagement shoot as such an enjoyable retreat where for a few hours we got away from that list-checking mentality and could focus on one another. Not to mention Dustin and Courtney are very good at making you laugh! During the shoot, Dustin and Courtney gave us good direction when we needed it, but also let us be ourselves. They were open to ideas when we had certain shots we thought would be fun. In the end, the shots really captured Dan and I as a couple. They were so good! Their turnaround for our engagement photos was very speedy. Within a few weeks I was already making the photo guest book for our wedding.
They went above and beyond when it came to the weekend of our wedding too. We felt so relaxed on our wedding day knowing that they were capturing the day. From getting ready, to the ceremony, to our couples shots, they kept us smiling and laughing. Our guests kept raving about the slide show they set up at the reception with photos they took earlier that day. They captured so many great memories of our special day and we cannot thank them enough. We love our wedding photos! Just like our engagement photos the turnaround for our wedding photos was very quick. We received our photos within a month along with a sneak peak gallery shortly after our wedding.
Thank you so much Dustin and Courtney! You both are awesome!

When we began our wedding planning, booking a great photographer was one of our biggest priorities, as pictures are what lasts forever. There has not been one second that has gone ...
by that we ever doubted using Waller Photography for our wedding pictures. Dustin and Courtney, are some of the most down to earth, genuine people we have met in life! They not only have such a gift at putting your nerves at ease, making you laugh and endulge in the moment, but they have such an eye for great shots! They are fantastic at getting the obligated staged shots, but most of all, they have such a gift at getting the "moments" that happen on such an important day...the shots that when viewing, will take you right back to that exact moment and the emotions felt during that day. They were always up for the challenge of creating new shots. Dustin even took the time to hike up a large hill while we were eating to scope out possible shots, hiking back down to get us, and once we got up the hill, we knew it was well worth it! Some of our favorite shots from our wedding came from that spot, and if it wasn't for Dustin's creativeness and spontaneity, we would have never been able to get those shots!
From day one, Dustin has been great with communicating with us, putting our mind at ease with any stressors that came along the way, and they remained flexible with ideas and timelines. They were always very prompt with responsiveness when we reached out to them, and whether it be an email or Skype appointment, they always were available.
We have constantly received comments on not only how nice they were, but how discreet they were, never in your face during the celebration. Since our wedding day, we have just been beaming with joy over the pictures we have received. Not only are we happy with the pictures, but we have received nothing but positive comments. They have actually made our job hard! We have so many favorites, that picking which ones to use around the house has been a hard choice! Definitely not something to complain about :)
We would never hesitate to recommend Waller photography to any loved one or friend, and we truly hope to have the privilege to work with them again in the future, as our lives continue!
We will forever be grateful for Waller photography, as not only have they given us the privilege of having amazing photos, but they have truly helped to create memories that will last a lifetime.
Waller Wedding Photography is AMAZING!!!
We are so happy we chose them for our engagement photos! They are very professional, fun, and flexible.
We love that they are creative,...
easy going and quick to respond to emails, questions, etc.
We got our engagement photos back less than two weeks after our photo session. They turned out GREAT!!!
We are very much looking forward to seeing them on our wedding day! :)
Thank you Waller Wedding Photography!
Dustin and Courtney were such a please to work with and captured every detail of our wedding flawlessly. They are so much fun and we are grateful for the captured memories we will ...
have forever. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for extraordinary pictures!!
We are from Washington state, and know nobody from California, so we relied on reviews to find our photographer for our intimate wedding in Ojai. I emailed Dustin as well as a numb...
er of other photographers in the area to see of they were willing to shoot our very laid back, simple, small ceremony as long as some pictures beforehand. The reasons I very fortunately decided on Dustin:
1. He emailed me back promptly, told me exactly how much he would charge, giving me all rights to ALL the photos he took, as well as driving from Ventura on a Tuesday afternoon for only three hours
2. He was very personable on the phone, funny, and friendly, as well as asked me a lot of questions about exactly what type of photos I wanted, my style, my priorities for the short amount of time, the venue, etc.
3. He gave me the best vibe! Just a good person.
THEN..
He surpassed our expectations of a wedding photo shoot. He remembered all my ideas, used my ideas from my pinterest board that he researched on his own time, and seriously took 500 photos in three hours. We both like so many of them we don't even know what to do with ourselves trying to choose.
He is creative, adventurous, but most importantly, cared about our style and what WE wanted.
I wish I would have asked him to come all day long. I can't say enough good things about him, I can't even imagine what it would be like if both him and his wife would have been there. Kudos to good people who give great service!
My husband and I had an awesome experience with Dustin on our wedding day. He is extremely personable and makes the entire process easy and fun. He was also very helpful with sugge...
stions and helping us plan the day.
We planned the entire wedding last minute, about 3 weeks before the event. It was a non-traditional wedding, involving just us and our parents on the beach, so we just needed a couple hours of photography of the ceremony and some pictures taken around town. The Wallers were very flexible about fitting us into their schedule. They also cut us a good deal since we didn't need the normal "wedding photography" package... and maybe just because we're so cool. Dustin did the photography and is great to talk to. He made the day really fun, rather than just a bunch of stiff photo taking. He even indulged in the champagne with us!
The photos had a quick turnaround, getting online in about 3 weeks, and they turned out fabulous. There's even some good ones of my husband who has THE MOST awkward photo smile.
I would highly recommend the Wallers for wedding photography, or any other professional photos you need taken. Besides their high quality photography, they are both wonderful people.
We cannot say enough about Dustin. We met with him, his lovely wife and adorable baby a couple months before the wedding to talk through our day and there was an instant click. Dus...
tin did not just take pictures at our wedding, he became a member of our family & friends, and a part of our day. Days later people still could not stop raving about how great he was at not just making them feel comfortable in photos, but also how great of a person he is.
To have the rights released for the photos within a 1 month timeframe at a very reasonable price was simply amazing! And something I know you cannot find anywhere else in the LA area. To top it off, our USB was sent to us in the most beautiful personalized engraved wood box with some gorgeous prints included.
We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer within driving distance! Thank you, Dustin!!
We met Dustin and Courtney at a Bridal Show and they stood out because they were so personable and didn't try to push us into anything. They made us feel so comfortable before, dur...

Waller Weddings are friends of ours so we were thrilled to use them as our photographers. They are our style for photography and they take such amazing pictures. They have an eye f...
