Ann Arbor, Michigan Wedding Photographer | Dustin Francis Photography | Destination Wedding Photographer
I photographed Melissa & Matt’s wedding a couple years ago, so it was great to get to photography their family 🙂 Melissa and Matt have since become friends and I’m happy to say Melissa has become a wonderful wedding and event planner and owns and operates All About You Productions and also founded the Before You “I Do” wedding forum that had it’s second show yesterday 🙂
I went out west the end of September to spend some time with my mom in San Francisco and photograph Julie & Bobby’s engagement session. I was a short, but great trip and I’m so glad Julie & Bobby took me around their city and I got to experience some of what the area has to offer, along with take some pics of the two love birds 🙂 Thank you for hanging out with me and being so wonderful to photograph!
Beautiful pictures of a beautiful couple in a beautiful city! What’s not to love?
Dustin-Thank you for such wonderful pictures! We thoroughly enjoyed shooting with you and we love the results!
Awesome!! I especially love the pictures with the bridges in the background!
Such great pictures! I love the ones at the Palace of Fine Arts!
I LOVE the one of you guys on the rocks. So great. These are all so terrific!
I think I like the Ferry Building ones best. Such great light for all of them!
How can I pick the most fabulous? I love them! I especially love the kissing in the middle of the street, in front of the bridge, on the beach…These are great!Thanks, Dustin. I think you’ve really captured the city and the couple.
Love, mom
just lovely Dustin!! i love San Francisco 🙂 beautiful work.
Love love love! You guys look great!
I love the casual beach ones. As lovely as you both look dressed up, the casual ones remind me most of you guys. Can’t wait for 6/2012!
Terrific pics. Really like the one in the middle of the street. Also with the bridge. Ok the ones in the front of the trolly too. Well, maybe all of them :). Dad.
These are amazing pictures!
These look fantastic. You guys must be really happy with the way they turned out.
Fabulous pictures – many favorites – Dustin you really captured the joy – very nice work. I think I agree with Elisabeth, the casual ones are especially sweet and genuine. Also agree that the street kiss is special. So glad you are the ones who must choose.
…a lovely young couple…beautiful ambience…incredible city and bayshore…all captured by an apparently creative photographer! So many delightful options to choose from and I like ’em all! hugs to Julie and Bobby! Maryanne

Beautiful session. That is one of my favorite cities ever!!
dustin, i love this SF session. your work is so clean and consistent. i wish we would have known each other when you were here. kw
While photographing Emily, I randomly shot a few quick clips. I created a short little movie, which I’m calling a motion portrait…I feel it does a great job of showing Emily’s presence as well as a feel for the sessions itself. Enjoy 🙂
Love these Dustin. I like the light. I like the color. I like the location!
Love%20these%20Dustin.%20%20I%20like%20the%20light.%20%20I%20like%20the%20color.%20%20I%20like%20the%20location!
Love these, Dustin! and the video clips are great!
awesome work dustin! great session and love the natural feel of the video with the handheld movement and focusing!
brilliant, man, great stuff! love the idea of the ‘motion portrait’
A few weeks ago, I met up with Kaitlin & Mike for their engagement session at the Grosse Pointe Academy where Kaitlin used to go to school. It was a perfect place or some fun pics of the two and we had some lovely light as well 🙂 I adore this session and am excited to see them both in less than two weeks 🙂 Everything was shot with my Nikon F100, 24 f/1.4, 35 f/1.4, 50 f/1.4, and 85 f/1.4 on Kodak Portra 400 and processed by the awesome peeps at Richard Photo Lab.
beautiful set dustin!!
Uh…yeah you did! (RE: lovely light)
Love these….especially by the water. Love the sailboat, tree, and really the whole composition. Not surprising. We need to catch up.
These are freakin awesome dude!
i really dig this couple.
Oh i love this one too.
Great photos, Dustin!!

Mike Osborne - What great pictures of both of the boys and also of Melissa and Matt. Looks like you were all having fun getting the pictures done.
