I'm a California native with a wanderlusting soul.

We are Dustin and Courtney, best friends and photographers. Before we shot weddings together we were a bride and groom. Yep, dated and married in less than a year! We just knew we wanted to do life together. As time has gone by we learned much more important things about each other. For example, Dustin’s heart can easily be won over with a hot cup of coffee, surfing, chasing our kids and any action movie. Courtney's perfect day includes drinking a chai latte, going for a hike with the family and shopping.

I had always been an Art student. And my love for photography evolved when I was a kid with my interest in the quality of the specific photo print laid out in the photo album. And that was the spark that ignited the curious flame that has since then not blown away. Since then I had been photographing! Firstly, with my Panasonic "point and shoot" camera during my childhood...Yes did I mention "point and shoot reel camera"?...Yes, I did. It was really fun photographing the bride very amateurishly but reflected good poses. ​

I want the photos of my wedding that I don’t have –; that capture the moments of affection between our family members; that remind us of the little details and big feelings of that day. I want the photos of my father-in-law walking my wife down the aisle, six months before he unexpectedly passed away. Those photos don’t exist. Instead, I have a handful of blurry, poorly edited images, the half-hearted efforts of an amateur photographer who didn’t yet know what he was doing with a camera. At that time I didn’t know the value of a professional wedding photographer, so I didn’t make the investment and it’s one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made.
