About Dusty. Born and raised in Oregon, Dusty Hoesly grew up with the outdoors as his backyard. In addition to a reverence for nature, he learned about the importance of love, community, and commitment from his family, who operated a home health care company. Having worked with various populations as a teacher, Dusty can make people of every generation feel welcome and comfortable.
After attending dozens of weddings as a guest or participant, Dusty began officiating at weddings when two friends asked him to marry them in 2008. More friends and relatives soon followed with the same request. After positive responses and much prompting, Dusty decided to offer wedding services for other couples.
Dusty has a Ph.D. in Religious Studies from the University of California, Santa Barbara. Dusty’s background as a student and scholar of different religious traditions has given him a sensitive and nuanced understanding of the various ways that people choose to celebrate life’s most special moments. Dusty has a deep appreciation for non-traditional, spiritual, and secular ways of consecrating extraordinary occasions, as well as for non-denominational and mixed-faith ceremonies. His expertise about contemporary wedding rituals and personalized ceremonies has been featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, and NPR.
