“There was something ethereal about this wedding. The bride’s dress shimmered under the soft light, and the groom’s nervous energy was completely endearing. I teared up when they spoke their vows, not just because of the words but because of the emotion that filled the room. Every laugh, every glance, every tear seemed significant, like it mattered in the grand tapestry of life. The flowers, music, and soft whispers all blended into a perfect symphony of love. Even small moments, like the ring bearer stumbling and everyone laughing, felt magical. By the first dance, I was completely entranced by their connection.

The ring close-ups and dress details look like editorial but still us. I love that the film includes little pauses, like my sister fixing my hair and me snorting with laughter (not glam, but real). Turnaround was quicker than I’d thought and the teaser had us hooked. I’ve already sent the album link to like 40 people, no ragrets.”

Love Knot Photography

5.0

Editorial style
Starts at $3,000
Serves Ames, IA

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

“A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like in addition to other ones that he asked us to pose for. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see.”

Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Diana Marie Photography! Diana is an absolute artist behind the camera—she captured every moment of our wedding so beautifully and effortlessly. From the smallest details to the most emotional moments, every photo tells a story, and we will cherish them forever.

She made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire day, and her professionalism and attention to detail were unmatched.
