Ditto Dianto Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Oakland, CA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,000

I'm a fine art wedding photographer based in Northern California and beyond. After discovering my love for photography, I always knew I wanted to become a full time wedding photographer. I am so fortunate to call this my job for over five years! My photography work often describe as romantic, soft, bright and natural that lend itself from my love of film look and fine art. When I'm not behind the camera or editing the latest wedding, you can find me spending time with my wife and our two Tabbies. I would absolutely love to get to know you and be your photographer!

“Ditto and his assistant showed up early and started taking amazing photos right off the bat. The pre-wedding communication was timely. He was easy to work with and brought calm energy to a day when stress can permeate the fun out of it. We immediately received a high volume, beautiful sneak peak the evening after the wedding which was a fun surprise and a great way to start our honeymoon admiring the gorgeous photos. If you are considering Ditto Diante Photography for your wedding, I would highly recommend him.”

I photograph intimate weddings and elopements with intention, emotion, and a little bit of edge. My approach is simple: your photos should feel like you.

Not only is she incredibly talented behind the lens, but she also made us feel so comfortable and natural throughout the shoot. Her energy, kindness, and attention to detail turned a once-in-a-lifetime moment into memories we’ll cherish forever. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to capture your special day with creativity and heart, we can’t recommend her enough.

Ivan Duran Photo

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Oakland, CA

I am an award-winning photographer based in San Francisco and the Bay Area. I was born and raised in Guadalajara, Mexico. As a kid, I loved painting & drawing just as much as I loved taking apart wrist watches and fixing car radios. It wasn't until I picked up a camera as a teenager that I found an activity that combined my artistic sensibilities with my love of technical challenges. Photography has been my passion ever since. I bring a happy, relaxed energy to every job I shoot. In general, I'm more of a listener than a talker. When I'm not taking pictures, you'll find me salsa dancing, or playing ukulele very badly, though joyfully!

“Ivan Duran is an outstanding photographer. His talent and creativity shine through in every shot. Ivan made us feel comfortable, capturing natural and candid moments effortlessly. The final images were beautifully composed and edited, exceeding our expectations. If you need a photographer who goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Ivan Duran Photography.”

I love romance and I want to reflect that in my images. Aside from posed editorial type images, my couples do a lot of interaction with each other, allowing me to produce images that reflect true joy, love and emotions. I married my husband twice, not because we were divorced but because our first wedding was at a courthouse, and on 1st year anniversary, we renewed our vows in front of 100s of our family and friends. We have 2 beautiful daughters that keep us on our toes. And when I am not photographing weddings, I work as a nurse in the emergency room.

“Jessi's talent is absolutely incredible and unmatched. Not only does she have an eye for beauty and perfect lighting, but she captures images that are genuine and breathtaking. She is very professional, very personable, and very patient which is an amazing combination for a photographer. We can't wait to use her for our pregnancy photos and family photos for years to come. Thank you Jessi!”

He is responsive to all questions and requests which made the planning process a breeze. The quality of his work is truly top-notch, with beautifully curated photos that captured all the special moments of our wedding day. He is incredibly accommodating and guided us through every step of the way. He didn't hesitate when I even asked him to travel out to California for the wedding.

My now husband and I are usually not "photo people", as we tend to be more introverts than anything else, and she went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Her professionalism and guidance during the shoot can be described as more than stellar. I will definitely recommend her to all of my friends who will be getting married soon. During all the chaos, I was extremely thankful to have chosen her as our photographer.”

“Vivi’s experience shines through in everything she does. We had Vivi and Benji as our photographer team for our civil ceremony. From the very beginning, her communication was excellent, and she helped us feel fully prepared well before our session even started. She navigated our City Hall ceremony with total expertise, knowing exactly where the best lighting would be for the specific time of day and season. She took all the stress out of the logistics by planning a detailed timeline and even suggesting the perfect lunch spots for us to refuel. We also did an outdoor shoot at the Legion of Honor and were absolutely blown away by the fantastic results. Vivi has a way of making you feel completely at ease; we spent the whole session laughing, which made for such natural photos. I know that when we look back at these pictures many years from now, we will still be so grateful. We will cherish these memories forever. We feel so lucky to have had her as our photographer!”
