Frequently Asked Questions

How long have you been a photographer, and what is your experience?

I’ve been a photographer for over 20 years; photographing everything from headline news to fashion magazine covers. I received my BA in photojournalism from The Ohio University. After years of working under several master photographers I decided to take what I learned in both fields. I became a wedding photographer 14 years ago and have shot over 600 weddings!

What kind of equipment do you use?

I shoot with 2 Canon Professional Cameras (one DSLR and one Mirrorless) at all times and keep a third in my bag as a backup camera. I use all Canon lenses with a multitude of focal lengths and speed to capture every moment from close or far. We also bring off camera lighting for evening shots.

Will you be the main photographer at my event?

If available I will be the lead photographer at your wedding along with my wife as the second shooter. Sometimes I’m already booked and one of my hand picked associate photographers will contact you for the initial consultation. Their portfolio can be sent to you upon request. 

What is your wedding pricing?

Wedding packages start at $2000 for weddings and $1200 for elopements (under 50 guests). But all packages can be customized based on your unique wedding. 

How far in advance do I need to book you?

Dustin Finkelstein Photography usually books 6-8 months out and up to a year for high season weddings. But you can book us a week before your wedding given our availability.

How can we go about booking?

I encourage all my clients to meet with me in person (or via video chat) at least once before your wedding. Once we’ve decided on a package I will send you a digital contract that can be signed online. There is a 50% non-refundable deposit due at the time of signing to hold the date. The remaining balance is due two weeks before the wedding.

Do you take credit cards for payment?

Yes, we are happy to accept credit card payments with no additional fees.

Do I receive a copy of the high-resolution digital files?

Yes, all your weddings photos are edited, retouched and uploaded to an online gallery. There you can download them, share them friends and family and order prints.

How many photos do we receive?

You can expect to receive around 100 images per hour of coverage a wedding and around 150 images for engagement or bridal sessions.

How long will it be before our photos are ready to view?

Images are delivered no more than two weeks from the day of your wedding and one week from engagement sessions and bridals. 

How are our images cared for after delivery? Are they backed up?

Yes. Your images are backed up twice on site at my home studio and backed up again offsite for triple redundancy protection. Nothing is more serious to me than making sure your memories are never lost. I take the utmost care in the storage of your images.
