Sarah C. Sent on 10/16/2021Best decision we made!
Finding a photographer who would make us feel comfortable while making us look our best on our special day was important for us. While talking to photographers pricing varied so greatly. We were lucky to find Diane thanks to a friend’s referral she checked all our boxes and fell within our budget. We found much more than a photographer with Diane. She was our hype woman, location scouter, vendor referrer, and nerve reliever! Diane has become more than just our wedding photographer to us, of all the vendors we hired we agreed that Diane was our favorite to work with! We had her capture our engagement shoot and our wedding day. Not only did she scout our engagement shoot location but she trekked along with us to find the perfect scenery to paint a background in our photos. Everything felt natural with her from whispering our In N Out orders in each other’s ears to studying each other’s faces to capture the right moment without ever feeling like we were being directed to pose a certain way. She went to our wedding rehearsal to tour our venue location to get a feel of the best spot to take photos (none of our other vendors aside from our coordinator were at our rehearsal I felt this was really above and beyond that she did this). We even got a couple shots for memories of us rehearsing. Leading up to our wedding day we didn’t hear from a lot of our other vendors and had to proactively reach out (blame it on the popularity of weddings this Sept/Oct) but Diane had proactively reached out to us and was always very responsive. Our wedding day she brought along a second photographer and the both of them were a blast. 3am after our wedding I got a message from Diane with preview photos from our wedding. I already told my husband that we’re going to Diane for holiday family photos and would not hesitate to recommend her to any other couple. She is seriously one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. -

Oh Blimie Sent on 01/16/2023Absolutely recommend diane!
Words cannot describe how amazing Diane was, but we will attempt to explain in this review. She was very communicative leading up to the wedding. Her questionnaires were to the point and it allowed us to get on the same page. At the wedding she was a rock star, always in the right place at the right time and super easy to work with. After the wedding was over she quickly got us some sneak peak photos. Once all the photos dropped we were AMAZED. They looked great! Also her website allowed us to order framed photos. The packaging is top notch and the framed photos look great. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND DIANE for your wedding. -

Beautiful photos!
Diane was wonderful from our first meeting to the delivery of our beautiful prints! She has a great personality that made us feel at ease during our stressful moments, but what really drew us to her was her unique style. She doesn't just shoot stuffy formal shots, she captures the atmosphere, and as soon as we saw our photos we were in awe. We also received several comments from family members about how impressed they were that they hardly noticed that she was there during the ceremony instead of blocking the view of the guests to get the shot, like most photographers. Thank you, Diane, for helping us relive our special day over and over with our beautiful photos! -

We were absolutely happy with Diane as our wedding photographer! She made things very easy for us and was really accommodating to all of our needs! She walked us through all of her suggestions and drew from her experiences to help guide us while still incorporating the photos and scenes that we wanted. We also really appreciated that she offered to visit our wedding venue on her own time even before we booked her because she wasn't familiar with it. She took the time to get to know us and our venue, which was a big factor for us.
After the wedding, she also delivered everything on time (actually, quicker than she originally told us) and it all came out exactly as we had hoped. Overall, we couldn't have been happier with our experience. -

Joe W. Sent on 09/22/2019Photos that truly bring to life the narrative and spirit of a wedding
Diane was our photographer for our intimate 85 person wedding. It was a second marriage for both myself and my wife - so we had lots of family, and even our 3 children involved.
Diane did an absolutely fabulous job - on the engagement pictures, the wedding itself, and then on a large format - 20 image - metal frame photo wall we crafted for our living room afterwards.
So what made Diane so special? I would say first and foremost is her ability to capture the spirit of each of the most important people in the wedding. For example, in the engagement photos - she captured perfectly the playfulness of my step-son (14), the animal-loving of my oldest daughter (13) and the confident beauty of my youngest daughter (10).
The pictures she took of our family together brought forth the diversity and integration of our new family. And for my wife and I together she captured our new love in creative ways with images that flattered us both.
At the wedding, she did some very smart things. Before the wedding, she had an assistant - and captured lots of details from both separate preparations of the bride and the groom. At the wedding itself, she caught all of the special moments - once again specializing on bringing out the spirit and personality of individual subjects. We now have amazing pictures of my mother-in-law, my dad and my aunt, captured in their best light. She also caught the small details of place settings, flower arrangements, the venue itself, that bring to life the overall spirit and feel of the wedding.
It all came together in our photo wall... Instead of a traditional album - what we decided to do was fill a large living room wall we have with a 9 ft x 3 ft arrangement of 20 photos and collages - from the proposal, our engagement, the wedding, and our honeymoon - to tell the story of our new family and life together.
Diane help us with the photo selection, the cropping, photoshopping small imperfections and lighting corrections. This was really important because she helped us not just with her own photos, but also photos I had taken for the proposal and the honeymoon - that needed a lot more fixing! This is also where it paid off to have great pictures of each family member - and each of those little details.
She put together mock spreads so we could simulate how it would look before printing and hanging. Then she used her industry contacts to help us order the actual metal prints from a high quality printer at a very reasonable price, with her industry discount.
The overall impact is stunning... we have beautiful photos that capture the spirit of our entire family in a gorgeous installation - that we get to look at every day, and is a constant conversation piece whenever we have visitors.
All in all - I would highly recommend Diane, for her acute eye, creativity as artist, craftsmanship with her cameras and software - and ability to execute on complex projects that capture the real narrative and spirit of an entire wedding!Diane Bagaoisan Photography's reply:
Joe - it was an absolute pleasure working with you, Candy, and the kids! I should really be thanking YOU for bringing up such an enormous project that helped pushed my creativity and expand my business in new ways. I hope everyone is doing well! -

We cannot say enough amazing things about Diane!
Photography was extremely important to us while planning our wedding; these are images you will look back on for the rest of your lives. And by choosing Diane for our wedding photography, we have all of our wonderful memories beautifully captured to look back on forever.
She captured the big moments so eloquently and also managed to capture everything happening around us at the same time! She has a knack for observing the entire situation and focusing in on all the candid details that make your day so special.
We get so many compliments on all of our wedding photos, but some of our personal favorite pictures are from during our ceremony. Diane captured our family members and guests during our ceremony so we were able to see our loved ones reactions to us finally tying the knot! In particular, our moms looking at each other smiling and crying happy tears. It was quick moment between them that we didn't notice, but she did! And we are so glad she did because it was so special to see that and have that moment captured!
Not only is Diane extremely talented behind the camera, she is genuinely a wonderful human being who cares so much about her couples, their families and guests. Our families and friends loved working with her. Everyone still talks about how magnificent Diane was!!
Thank you Diane for giving us beautiful memories to look back on forever! You are absolutely incredible! -

Heather Sent on 03/27/2018My fiance (now husband) and I were looking for a photographer with a great eye, flexibility, looking for someone extremely organized and look no further than Diane! Even from the beginning, we just loved her positive attitude and felt like she was apart of the family and one of those friends you've had forever. She had excellent ideas and you can tell Diane is very experienced and probably has seen it all so nothing phases her ^_- All of my friends and family enjoyed working with her and thought she was spectacular as well. We would definitely recommend her to our friends and family! -
Jennifer Sent on 03/18/2018We used Diane for our engagement and wedding photos and had a wonderful experience. Diane is very professional, patient, communicative and flexible. From the very beginning, she was very easy to talk to and accommodating to our requests.
We wanted her to photograph our legal ceremony in lieu of an engagement shoot--she worked with us to fit this into our photo package and even rushed the completion of the photos so we could have them at our wedding. She ended up shooting longer than contracted on both occasions because she was so committed to getting the right shots. We could sense that she was really invested in getting us the best photos and it never felt like she was in the clock. We had mentioned to her that we had a post wedding event the next day and had made plans for a friend to take a few photos to show at that event--we didn't even plan on asking her for such a short turn around but she made it happen and we got sneak peeks the same night!! After the wedding, she was great at keeping us updated on progress and again went out of her way to get us some photos when we had plans to see my grandmother.
The final product was beautiful! We loved the photos and the packaging of the prints. We would highly recommend working with Diane. -

Sherry Sent on 08/26/2019Made our special day memorable!
Diane did an amazing job, we loved all of our wedding photos! My favorite were the candid photos. The process from beginning to end went smoothly. We first had a phone interview then an in-person meeting where she asked a lot of good questions to make sure she understood what we wanted from our special day. Diane was very professional and made us feel comfortable, which is very important when choosing a photographer. We highly recommend Diane! -

Olivia N. Sent on 10/31/2020Love our wedding photos.
We hired Diane as our wedding photographer last November. The moment she took our engagement pictures I knew I had found the right one. We were really shy in front of the camera, she took her time to show and guide us how to pose, help us become more comfortable. She also really flexible and detail orientated which makes her perfect for this job. I'd recommend her to my family and friend. Thank you Diane! -
