The giggle on your flower girls face, the soft touch moments after saying I do, your baby’s smile and bright eyes. When you wish to capture that emotion and those moments in an image, the first question that comes to mind is, “Who can I trust with such special moments?”
Diane McKinney is an accomplished photographer who has been published both locally and nationally. She has recently been awarded The Brides Choice Award from Martha Stewart Weddings & Wedding Wire for 2010 as well as been featured in the national BEST OF WEDDINGS Knot magazine and in many local magazines such as Carolina Bride, Southern Bride & Groom, Weddings magazine and more. Additionally, she has shot for Cary Magazine for several years in the past on a regular basis.
Having someone who can capture those fleeting moments when your flower girl is giggling, that knowing look when you and your husband ‘to be’ exchange glances, the proud expression on your father’s face. The right photographer can make all the difference in the world.
My name is Diane McKinney and capturing the emotion of the moment is my specialty. My goal is to make you look beautiful as well as capture the essence of the occasion. With the ultimate goal being to walk away with a true documentary of the event or place in your life at that time.

Diane is such an amazing photographer! We just got married and all of guests were just raving about how quick, professional and easy going she was. She has a way of not only capturing the moment but also the essence and emotions of the event. She did such a great job of editing as well, we received the link to our pictures before we were even back from our honeymoon.
If you are looking for a personable and professional photographer, then you must use Diane McKinney!

Diane is amazing! By far my favorite vendor at our wedding. She is so talented, professional, and goes above and beyond to capture your day. From the initial planning phase to wedding day, she is quick to respond and offers the best ideas and suggestions. We were getting ready in two different places so we hired her 2nd photographer Allison who is just as amazing and attentive as Diane. We had close to 3,000 photos and we are absolutely in love with all of them! Highly recommend Diane and her team.

Diane Mckinney is by far the most amazing wedding photographer ever. She did our engagement, my bridal portraits, and then our wedding and she left me amazed and breathless each time. I could not have imagined better pictures than the ones I have from her. She listened to what I wanted and the style of pictures I wanted and went with it. Not only is she a fabulous photographer, but she is an even better person. I loved working with her!! She is happy and upbeat and kept everything fun, which really helps when your husband hates taking pictures. She was so easy to work with always responding back to my emails quickly and answering my thousands of questions without a complaint. Her turn around time and editing skills are out of this world as well. I would highly recommend her to everyone and actually my cousin is having her pictures done with her because she was impressed!!! I cant wait to work with Diane in the future once we start having kids ☺

Diane was the BEST wedding photographer! I could not have been happier with a different photographer. Throughout the whole wedding planning process she was always there to answer my questions and give me suggestions. The day of the wedding, Diane and her team were there but never 'in the way'. I would HIGHLY recommend Diane to anyone. I know I will definetley be using her for future photography! THANKS DIANE! :)

Diane did a fantastic job; she takes the time to get to know her brides. Diane was always there at the right moments to capture the beautiful candid moments of our wedding day. She did a wonderful job integrating our requests with her creative style that created amazing pictures of our day. The amount of images from the day blew me away. There were so many favorites to choose from.

Diane was helpful, fun, and willing to do anything you wanted as a bride. She was on time, the cost was reasonable, and she gives a modern take on some traditional ideas! I had a blast working with her.
