She was easy to work with and fun as our "adjunct wedding guest". She took charge (for example, before the ceremony, she rearranged our officiant so he wasn't blocking the view), came up with creative ways to get great photos of us, using the lighting and outdoor setting well, and captured every little detail. I'm in love with the photos she took and would hire her for anything photographic from here on out!

She made me feel beautiful, and was really fun to work with. She took my ideas and created masterpieces. Her use of light an color really created a dreamscape of the setting, while also capturing our personalities and our love. I dont know that I've ever seen photos where people are caputed so beautifully as well as the setting. The retouching and editing on our photos was also top-tier! Our site was at a historic location with all kinds of safety signs, fire extinguishers, cones with those yellow plastic chains. None of those appeared in our photos to distract from us or the setting. I highly recommend. If you are looking for a photographer for any reason, pick Rachel. You will be not just pleased with the result, but ecstatic!

To be honest, I took a risk on Dustin…read more I waited until the very last minute to find a photographer for my son's Red Egg & Ginger Party (100th-day celebration) and was on a tight budget after splurging on an expensive venue with a long guest list. It was also my first time using Thumbtack. I scrolled through some of the more "popular" and higher-priced photographers, who also had a ton of reviews, but did not feel that their style was what I was looking for. When Dustin contacted me, I wasn't sure in the beginning due to his sparse reviews; however, upon visiting his website and IG, I was impressed with his portfolio and the depth shown in all of his photos. However, most of the pictures were of outdoor weddings and my party was mostly an indoor event. But it was just days before my event, and his price was within my budget, so I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best. On the day of the event, Dustin arrived even earlier than I did to the restaurant. Upon seeing him, he was already looking around, scoping out the venue, checking the lighting, and taking test shots. I gave him very little instructions to work with - all I wanted were some family portraits and candid shots of the party. From there, he snapped away for 3+ hours, always patient and in the background of a very chaotic Asian party, and I barely noticed he was there the whole time. Fast forward 9 days (5 business days), I received the thumb drive that I provided Dustin for the photos. He ended up producing and edited almost 400 photos, double what I had expected. As my husband and I scrolled through the pictures, it reconfirmed that we totally made the right choice going with him - he brought all of the care and detail and atmospheric elements of his romantic outdoor weddings to a loud, disorganized brunch party and made everything look timeless, precious and heartwarming. Not only that, he provided color AND black & white versions in both high AND low resolutions. That meant I got 4 copies of each shot to play around with! Dustin blew all of my expectations away from his professionalism the day of, his quick turnaround time, and ultimately, the amazing final photos. Hire this guy, you won't regret it!

Dustin is the best! He's a rad dude who's really good at what he does. I found him through…read moreThumbtack and we hired him to shoot our wedding in the mountains outside of Groveland. It was a beautiful setting and Dustin did a great job of using the backdrop but not having it be everything. He captured the people in a perfect way. The angles and the layouts were great. The color composition was perfect. On top of all the normal photo stuff he just came across as a super down to earth guy who loves what he does. When he first got to the venue he handed me two bottles of champagne as a "congrats". He was super sneaky - he caught shots of things when I had no clue he was even close to me at the time. He was super laid back about the whole setting and was really into enjoying the space and the outdoors. I would definitely reach out to him if you're doing anything outside. Overall, we're super happy we chose him. Really nice guy and the perfect attitude for our wedding.

They gained an…read moreunderstanding of our vision through questionnaires to really be able to give us exactly what we were hoping for. John, the videographer, was able to bring to life the feel and esthetic of our venue. The video is layered in such a creative way, shot in an interview style to capture the emotions of my husband and myself but also our bridal party. It is fun and playful but still kept it incredibly sincere. I couldn't be more satisfied! Isabelle, the photographer, sent me the most beautiful romantic photos I've ever seen. Really gave us that perfect twilight that we (well... I) had always dreamed of. The two of them make an incredible team and I can't wait to watch how their careers progress! Thank you both -The Grassmanns

First off, the team that showed up on the day of our wedding was amazing. They arrived early, were professional, and immediately got to work. They made sure we captured every shot I had envisioned, while also bringing their own creative ideas to the table--and those ended up being some of my favorite moments from the day! Even though I've only received my sneak peeks so far, I am already blown away. The quality, the vision, and the attention to detail are all exactly what I was hoping for and more. Knowing that everything is then edited by Isabelle Westfall herself gives me even more confidence that the final product is going to be something we'll treasure forever. If you're looking for a wedding photography and videography team that is professional, creative, and truly invested in your day, I highly recommend Westfall Visuals.

Kendall helped us choose the perfect location for our special day, making sure we had the best lighting and scenery to frame our elopement. Her ability to guide us through poses while still keeping everything natural and organic made a world of difference. We never felt awkward or stiff--just completely ourselves, which shows in every photo. She also interacted so naturally and kindly with our family, helping everyone feel comfortable and included. On a day that can be both exciting and a little nerve-wracking, Kendall was a calming presence who made us feel truly at ease. One of the most thoughtful touches was that she gave us a few Polaroid photos on the same day. It was such a sweet and personal gesture--something tangible we could hold onto and treasure right away while waiting for the full gallery. The final images are everything we hoped for and more--intimate, genuine, and absolutely stunning.

From the owner: Documentary Family, Event and Wedding Photographer…read more I believe family photos should be real representations of your everyday life. Your photos should tell a story beyond the traditional family portrait. You want honest representations of who your family is, not coordinated outfits and cheesy grins. I specialize in family photojournalism and visual story telling. Photos are meant to spark memories and evoke happiness. They are to remind you of the time you played with your kids in a heap of Legos on the floor, not the stress of having them cooperate at a family portrait session. Ask yourself how do you want your children to remember you? What is the legacy you want to leave behind for them? Is it a hallway of the same photo every year, where everyone is just a little older or a collection of grainy smartphone photos? Your everyday life is beautiful and every moment is worthy of a amazing photograph. So let's make photography that tells your true story for generations to come together!
