My bestest buddy Rachael Gapinski of Rachael Tyler Photography was in a bind a while back and needed me to shoot a reception for one of her couples, so I helped her out and shot Hannah and Landon’s reception at Aspen Landing Reception Center. They were an awesome couple and she was ecstatic the whole...
Thanks again Dustin! You’re a lifesaver & you did such a great job! I knew I could count on you
Awesome photos! I love the one of the mom hugging her son!
So this year is the first year I’ve decided to enter a print competition and I need your help picking which images to enter into the WPPI print competition. The deadline for entry is 2/12 so I need to pick pretty soon and get these printed and entered. So please help me out by voting...

Hey D,
Something to keep in mind of when you go to print the photos you decided on. One thing that you do a lot of is push the contrast which results in some loss of the highlights. While that is sweet for your clients, judges tend to hit pretty hard for it. You need to find that fine line of high contrast and tons of details in the highlights and shadows.
The other thing you may want to remember is that they hit these prints with 2 – 250 watt lights at 45% degree angles so if they are close to blown out in the highlights just looking at them with normal lighting, then with the actual judges lights they will be washed.
I actually voted for 1 and 2 because to me they have the most impact and story telling in them.
Good luck!

Hard to pick favorites… I love the all; 1 is classic Izatt and number 6 is just so cool.
You are an AWESOME photographer and know just when to snap a winning photo. Your style is uncomparable. Good luck
Very nice! Hard to choose.
One of the photojournalistic shots. The judges love that stuff. The others are wonderful, but they’ve seen that before. You just can’t recreate real, heartfelt moments. Crying’s always good, but the hugging bride one is pretty great.
That is an amazing shot!!!
always good work 
good luck! you’ll totally win!
whoo hoo good luck!!
Yeah! Good luck!
So last week I shot engagements for Kellie and Brandon in Salt Lake City. These guys drove all the way up from Price Utah for the sessionDespite the freezing cold, these guys were troopers. I loved their outfit choices and I wish it wasn’t so darned freezing outside so we could’ve shot longer. Thanks so...

Those are so cute! You always do such a fantastic job!!!!!
Flippin’ Sweet!!!
Oooh – love these! Fun, yet classy.
I don’t get it, I was there and shooting with you and none of my shoots look this amazing. I totally think that cannon hooked you up with a rigged camera…..
They were such a fun couple! Thanks again for letting me come!
Soooo cute Dustin. I always love your crisp, clean photos. You rock!
Great job, Dustin. THey look like they were having fun, despite the cold. I love the leaves in the first few.
I absolutely LOVE The Veronicas. They have some killer music and they are one of my favorite artists to jog to. If you like this song, check out Untouched, Revenge is Sweeter Than You Ever Were, Goodbye To You, I Can’t Stay Away, and Someone Wake Me Up. Enjoy

If you like these guys you would really like The Barlow Girls. Anything on “Another Journal Entry” is pretty sweet. It is Christian Rock, but its really good and not preachy at all.

Hey Dustin, it’s me your stalker! haha jk. You’re videos never work from youtube on your blog.
A few weeks ago I shot the wedding of Josh and Whitney with the help of my BFF Heidi of Heidi J Photography and my intern Alicia. It was a blast and Josh had us laughing all day long. Not only is he ridiculously good looking (said in the voice of Zoolander) but he is...
