Meet Your Photographer, Diana

I’m Diana, a California-born adventurer with a camera for a hand and an inborn love for the outdoors. I’m a professional photographer of 16 years and counting.

In my free time you’ll find me traveling from the desert in southern California, to the snow-capped mountains of Mammoth and beyond. No drive is too long or winding to stop me from the next adventure!

How did I get into wedding and elopement photography? In 2019, I hired adventure photographers for my own wedding and they showed me there’s a different, more personal way to get married. It was such a special day, I want to bring it to so many more couples who believe in getting married their own way.

Meet Your Officiant, Isiah

Hello! I'm Isiah, Diana's spouse, business manager and optional officiant for Love & Latitudes. I love the great outdoors, whether that means hiding in the deep forest, climbing boulders in the desert heat or dipping my feet into a nice cool lake.

While I handle most of the behind the scenes work, I sometimes accompany Diana and our couples during photoshoots to help with whatever is needed. I am also an ordained wedding officiant (ULC) and am eager to officiate elopements and wedding ceremonies for our couples.

I am comfortable officiating religious or secular ceremonies, just so long as it meets the preferences of our couples. After all, it’s your special day. We just want to help support your wedding day, your way. Let’s get hitched!

    "We’re absolutely in love with the photos and we’re constantly getting print requests from family & friends"

    We were nervous, we’re not the type of people who are used to posing in front of a camera, but she made us feel comfortable and captured the most beautiful, genuine photos. We had such a good experience that we later booked her, and her husband Isiah as our officiant, for our wedding in Laguna Beach, CA. They were extremely professional and made the whole process seamless. Diana captured the most amazing candid moments/details and Isiah was the perfect officiant, he even took care of all the license/certificate paperwork after the ceremony for us. We’re absolutely in love with the photos and we’re constantly getting print requests from family/friends. We definitely now have a go-to photographer for any other future events! We can’t recommend them enough!

    "Diana showed up on my wedding day to an absolutely hectic mess and stepped in like we had known her all our lives."

    Diana is not only an incredible photographer, she is also an incredible person. She is super responsive, very flexible, and genuinely cares about the people she's working with! Diana showed up on my wedding day to an absolutely hectic mess and stepped in like we had known her all our lives. She is a wizard. Neither my husband nor myself particularly like getting pictures taken, and Diana was able to direct us while giving us all the room to be ourselves. She accommodated all of the shots we wanted to get with family and friends, and captured the sweetest and silliest moments I never knew i needed to see! Thank you Diana!!!

    "You only get one shot to get these pictures, and she will not disappoint."

    I can't say enough great things about Diana. She photographed our wedding at Burning Man and did better than I ever imagined. That environment is not easy, and she showed up on time, was prepared for anything, had a great attitude, and stayed way later than planned to be able to capture the entire event. She really shined when it came to editing the photos. Burning Man is a very difficult environment to photograph, and she was able to bring out all the colors while not over-exposing anything. Her editing is really true to life and highlights all the best aspects. Do not hesitate to hire Diana if you are looking for a wedding/elopement photographer. You only get one shot to get these pictures, and she will not disappoint.

    "We had so much fun and made an amazing memory"

    In December 2022, my wife and I had the pleasure of meeting Diana to photograph us for our post courthouse elopement pictures in Death Valley. Her skills coupled with personality made us feel comfortable and confident. We had so much fun and made an amazing memory that we honestly did not care what the pictures looked like. That being said, the pictures exceeded any expectation I had. We looked at them for hours with tears in our eyes at how beautifully she captured our relationship. Thank you and we wish you all the best ❤️

    "It was really important to me that we looked like ourselves, which is exactly what we got"

    It's hard to sum up just how incredible Diana is. She is so approachable, genuine and fun. My husband and I eloped in AZ with a few friends and we honestly felt as if we'd known Diana for years with how easily she fit into our group! Something I really appreciated about her style is that I never felt we were being posed, any direction we got from Diana was to enhance what was already there. It was really important to me that we looked like ourselves, which is exactly what we got. Everything felt very comfortable and natural, which was really nice as an anxious person who doesn't usually want to have her picture taken. I love every single one of our photos and it makes me tear up just thinking about how special the whole thing was. Not to mention that she delivered an incredible gallery from a very rare rainy day! Diana is so incredibly talented and kind, and the finishing touches she executes are just incredible, from making gifs to editing just the right amount to offering beautiful products and generously large galleries. I wouldn't change our experience at all, and I don't think I could think of a single improvement if I tried.
