Diana is a hybrid film and digital, documentary wedding photographer living in California with her 2 cats.
“My work is informed by storytelling, intuition, compassion, and curiosity. I create images that feel lived in & true to life, like looking at yourself through the eyes of an old friend.
I utilize a photojournalistic approach to your wedding day; seeing you as you are, right here, right now. There is no performance, no fake moments, just you + your love being present with your people.
The experience with me is unobtrusive, easy-going and calm, giving us all the space to remain true to ourselves. I bring a relaxed, quiet energy to the day as I remind you to stay present and take it all in.
I love to photograph weddings that go against the norm and celebrate your unique quirks, personality, and taste. My work connects well with those who are artistically-minded, value imperfection, and love anything analog”
I AM curious, calm, caring, inspired, emotional, playful, left-handed, virgo
MY ROLES a sister, a daughter, a friend, a cat mom, and an auntie x3
I LOVE my job (!), stillness, candles at night, bowls of pasta, hot showers, working with my hands, my pets, bike rides, summer nights, traveling our planet
HOBBIES crocheting, sitting down with a good book, yoga, attempting to keep house plants alive, learning about ecology
HAPPIEST WHEN observing love and human interactions, laying in the sunshine, immersed in nature, around animals, creating art, laughing with family and friends
A note from Diana-
Being a wedding photographer is an extremely personal job. I am invited into worlds, momentarily woven into the fabric of intimate relationships and wonderfully tasked with encapsulating the many emotions/ interactions/ connections that blossom throughout the day.
It is not lost on me how special these memories are to those I photograph and how lucky I am to witness love, celebration and human connection, on a regular basis.
When in front of my lens, my hope is that you feel relaxed, seen and celebrated, and that together, through trust and honesty, we can create some magic. I am so grateful our paths have crossed!
xx Diana
