About

It all started when a neighbor handed me my first camera, an old Kodak Insta-something when I was eight, and I became obsessed with capturing everything I saw around me. Today, I prefer the unexpected over the traditional, the candid shot over the posed, the moment after the pose over the pose itself.


I believe pictures shouldn’t be painful. I want you to feel special, happy, gorgeous, and well-cared-for throughout their photography adventure, but most of all I want them to have fun. A relaxed couple makes an even more beautiful couple on that most important of days, and I will go above and beyond for my brides to ensure that is exactly what happens. I’m not just a photographer on the wedding day: I’m a friend, there to provide emotional support, wrangle family, and I will always get you to the ceremony on time.

This is a family business, and I now work almost exclusively with my daughter Makena and my son Ronan as second shooters, and we are passionate about capturing beautiful, memorable images on every wedding day we shoot. Almost more importantly, we work hard to make sure you, your wedding party, and your family feel relaxed, happy, and comfortable. We know how hard it is for most grooms to enjoy the picture process, so we make sure every groom and groomsman (no matter how much they hate the idea of being photographed) has a hilarious and relaxed time, and I can’t tell you how many of them have told me at the reception they didn’t realize they could actually enjoy the process. We love to hear at the end of the day: "You guys were so much fun!" because that's exactly what our couples should remember at the end of their wedding day: that they had the time of their lives while we captured them doing it.

Amazing photos, amazing photographer!

We could not be more grateful that we worked with Dory on our engagement photos and we are so excited to have Dory and Makena shoot our wedding this September! From the first phone call, Dory immediately felt like a trusted friend. Beyond all of the typical topics, she really listened to our vision for our wedding and even offered advice on delicate family dynamics. While I could tell from her website and social media that she was talented, the first phone call made me realize how much she cares about the couples she works with, which is so special.

When we realized that the location I had originally chosen wouldn’t work (black fly season in Maine is no joke!), Dory recommended an alternative that reflected all the elements I loved about the original location, and her choice could not have been more perfect! Even with an overcast sky and some light rain at the end, Dory made our engagement session really fun and bright — we were swapping Parks and Rec quotes and laughing the whole time — and put my fiancé and I at ease. Dory was calm and professional, giving us prompts when we needed them but mostly just capturing our organic dynamic, which made the session really enjoyable and the resulting photos feel really authentic.

And more about the PHOTOS! They are all absolutely gorgeous — it’s impossible to pick a favorite! — and we have received so many compliments on them (in fact, my soon-to-be sister-in-law said they are the best engagement photos she’s ever seen). I jokingly asked my fiancé if it would be weird to wallpaper our apartment in them, because I love them all so much.

I’m so grateful to Dory for creating such beautiful images of us, and I am giddy with excitement thinking about the photos she’ll capture at our wedding. Hire Dory! You will not regret it.

10/10 for Diaz and Diaz

From the first moment I spoke to Dory I knew that Diaz and Diaz was the photographer for us! Dory was so personable and I felt like I was choosing a photographer that I had known for years. Leading up to wedding day, Diaz and Diaz was extremely organized and made sure they had all of the details and timeline information. They were also so quick to respond to any questions I had. When I finally got to meet Dory and Makena on the day of I was blown away by their great energy, expertise and professionalism. Wedding photos can be overwhelming, but Dory and Makena made us feel so calm, kept us smiling and they captured some great gems throughout the day and night. It’s hard to put just how wonderful they are into words, but they are truly a dynamic duo and we are so grateful for them and their services!

Choose Dory! You will not regret it

We quickly fell in love with Dory during our first phone interview! She exudes the uncommon balance of professionalism, joy and flexibility. She is uniquely skilled at making her clients feel like old friends. Dory made even my reluctant husband comfortable with being photographed during our engagement shoot! We were among many who had to postpone our ceremony & reception due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Dory did not let all of the changes of dates and plans phase her one bit. She remained committed to providing us with a positive experience and helped to keep us calm along the way. When we decided to elope, Dory jumped on board to photograph that event for us as well. All of our photographs – engagement, elopement & wedding – are phenomenal and priceless. Dory has a keen eye for the perfect candid shot along with guiding her couples through posed portraits with ease. The end product cannot be matched. We highly recommend Dory to photograph your wedding, engagement, elopement, family portraits…all life events! We are endlessly grateful to Dory for all she did to make our wedding journey magically memorable.
