Our photos turned out amazing!!!!! Diana made the whole process so easy. She scouted out locations ahead of time and told us where to meet her and at what time. She had everything needed for the shoot, had a plan, and executed it to perfection while simultaneously implemented all the things we had told her we wanted before the shoot as well. Diana is such a genuine person and made the experience so much fun. She was great with my 4 year old daughter and made her feel extra special during our session. When we received the photos we were blown away by how fantastic they turned out, but not surprised as we had seen her work before and know how talented she truly is. Diana, thank you once again for the overall 10 out of 10 experience, and providing our family photographs that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. read more

Diana Fast Photography - Session Photography Near Me

Diana is such a talented photographer!! We are always so amazed and utterly awestruck by the images she captures. She offers mini sessions which are a quick 20 minutes and in such a short time she truly makes magic happen. Her shoots a breeze and just the right amount of time! Diana makes you feel at ease and comfortable, and she's so good at keeping the mood lighthearted and fun. This has really paid off because we've seen her work wonders with a fussy, camera shy toddler and our impatient dog. Without fail, Diana has somehow managed to capture such beautiful moments of our family time and again. Our family photos will be treasured for years to come. read more

A good friend recommended Diana, and my husband and I had a great shoot with her. Photo shoots can be awkward, but she made it fun and easy! It was so windy but I loved our locations and she got so many good shots. Great experience and I highly recommend Diana for any portrait needs! read more

Diana Fast Photography - Session Photography Near Me

Diana was a wonderful photographer. Her demeanor and finished products were both marvelous. The photos captured the day perfectly. She knew all of our venue's best angles and vistas. She had many fun, candid shots of our guests and also fully captured all of the formal portraits. On top of the excellent product, her professionalism, candor, and easy-going attitude throughout our wedding day were special. We've been to weddings with overbearing photographers and we've been to weddings with lackadaisical photographers - Diana was neither. She enthusiastically worked with our wedding party and made sure the train stayed on the tracks. She even had a great, natural rapport with our 2-year old nephews, resulting in plenty of smiles from both the kids and their parents. read more

I had a great experience with Diana. Not only she was great to work with (responsive, flexible, and covid compliant), but she also did a super nice job taking pictures of us outdoors at the midday sun. The excessive brightness was a big concern, but Diana was excellent in directing us to get our best angles in the photos. If you're looking to shop and support local, check her website and you won't think twice! Thank you so much, Diana, for making this chapter of our lives even more special! read more

My branding portraits turned out beautifully. Couldn't be happier to have professional photos fill the "about" page on my website that truly feel like me. Beforehand, I appreciated the advice on wardrobe, which only added to how very natural the overall style is! I loved the golden hour lighting, the flexibility to go between two different outfits and backdrops within 1 hour, and the direction was helpful. My favorite part is how soft and feminine the photos look. Diana has special powers with editing too. It was everything I expected plus more! Thank you. read more

She just photographed our first family session and we love the photos! Diana was so easy to work with and made us all feel comfortable. It was hard to choose which photos we liked the best because we looked great in all of them! read more

Diana made our family photos feel effortless! She immediately made my kids feel comfortable and relaxed, which made it a fun experience for all of us! She really brought out their individual personalities in each of their photos, and their smiles were genuine! I told her what I was hoping for and she found the perfect location for us! We love all of the pictures from our session, they are a great mix of poses and also candid photos that capture our family style perfectly! read more

Diana is the absolute BEST. We met her in 2019 when our wedding was originally going to take place in 2020, and she stuck with us for 3 years all the way until our wedding finally took place in June 2022. Not only did Diana go above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly, but she kept in touch with us along the way, reassuring us that everything would work out (which it did, thanks to her). Her talent as a photographer is unmatched - all of our photos look so natural and truly capture our joy from the wedding day. Diana is also such a kind and easygoing person to work with, and clearly genuinely loves what she does. We cannot recommend Diana more highly for anyone looking for an incredibly talented photographer. read more

Diana Maire is awesome! She is so easy to get along with, and is an incredibly talented photographer. She photographed my August 1st wedding and the results were far better than I ever could have hoped. I love the clean bright colors in her pictures and her talent for catching people in beautiful moments. She was willing to work with my husband and I to create a package that worked for us. The package included an awesome engagement shoot, and a DVD of all the pictures. The engagement shoot was a great opportunity to get to know her style and to see which kind of shots we preferred. She was able to get online proofs to us in about a month for both shoots (which is really fast, especially considering the high quality of her work.) Another bonus is that she is willing to travel if you are not in the Bay Area. I highly recommend Diana Maire. We have gotten tons of compliments on our pictures and will definitely call her again in the future (she also does family photos). read more

Diana is an expert at capturing the emotions of any moment. Diana attentively listened to us during every conversation leading up to a photo session, and the pictures we received from the engagement session, the photobooth at the wedding, and our wedding photos are absolutely amazing! Details and creativity come first for Diana. For our engagement session, we wanted two very different styles of photos. Getting a family photo with our pooches and an elegant evening shot where we got engaged was important to us. By using treats for the dogs and being a natural at calming a camera-shy couple, Diana snapped the perfect shots of us. Diana also arranged ahead of time with one of our locations for us to get there early and have the place to ourselves. It was that extra step that she took that helped get that elegant, just-right shot that many of our friends swear should be on the cover of a magazine! Diana's photobooth is above the rest. The photobooth is operated by one of Diana's assistants who made sure the guests were positioned correctly for the perfect pic! She also had props available for the guests, and displayed an oh-so creative sign directing guests to the photobooth. The absolutely adorable tags with photos from our engagement session on them giving guests directions to access the photos were yet another example of how in tune to details and the little things Diana is. When it came to the day of our wedding, Diana had spoken to me as many times to help me finalize timelines and photograph details. She reviewed the information and talked me through some ideas to get the most out of the photographs that day. As all brides know, the days leading up to the wedding are the most stressful, and I truly appreciated Diana's attention to the timeline of the day and other details that would help plan for the day's photographs. Looking back on one of our first conversations, I explained to Diana that I wanted the photos to capture the rustic elegance of our venue and our vision. She nailed it! Now I just have to figure out how to narrow down the photos to the ones I want in an album and I'm having a very difficult time doing that because I want them ALL!!! :) Diana is above the rest and her photographs balance traditional , beautiful, fun, and creative photography. She puts her clients first and by doing so, her photos truly represent the beauty of each couple. Thanks Diana and team!!! I . read more

What can I say? She had me at first photo! After attempting to walk through the maze that was a bridal show in San Francisco with a plethora of photographers, only one photographer's work caught my eye and that was Diana Maire Photography. My best friend was with me and we both were drawn to her booth immediately. She takes beautiful, fun and romantic photos. I just knew instantly she was the photographer for us, but looking over her albums at her booth solidified it. I was sold, I just had to convince my fiance now husband. After the both of us met with her, it was a done deal. Diana is not only really easy to work with (no ego at all), she is super sweet and helpful. We had so much fun working with her to take our engagement photos and she was so on top of it at our wedding. She captured all of the important shots and then some. Not only that, she and her assistant photographer were not intrusive at all. In fact, I had several guests say how much they really liked our photographers. We just got our wedding photos and they are spectacular. Her ability to capture the right light and play off of scenic colors is wonderful. She truly does have the "eye." She offers different packages depending on what you want, and we look forward to seeing her again soon to finalize our album. She's a gem and we will definitely be coming back to her for future photography needs. read more

We contacted Diana to be our family photographer for holiday photos. With 2 young kids, it's not an easy task to get them to cooperate. But Diana was so great with them and got the best natural smiles! Similarly, it's so difficult to get a family group shot where everyone is looking great -- she succeeded in that too!! She was so flexible & easy to work with when deciding on the location and securing the date & time. Equally, she had our photos ready to see very quickly . Overall, she was a joy to work with & I've already recommended her to many friends. Definitely give her a ring when next planning a photoshoot! read more

Diana photographed my wedding and I was so impressed with her level of professionalism and creativity. She took the time to explore our location and find the best spots for amazing photos. She is extremely friendly and likeable, which made my husband and I both feel comfortable in front of the camera. She accomodated all of our requests and produced an incredible range of shots for us to choose from. She went above and beyond what we expected. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer in the Bay Area. read more

We chose Diana as our engagement and wedding photographer for our June wedding. Her work is amazing! There is no doubt about that. We worked with her through a span of about 10 months up until our wedding day. She was VERY easy to reach and would reply to my emails very promptly. During our engagement session, it was 100 degrees in SF with so many people around, but she made everything work out perfectly. My husband and I were stunned on how our pictures turned out. They were AMAZING! She made us both feel very comfortable during the session. I still get compliments on how amazing our engagement pictures are. She kept in contact with me regarding site visits and timelines the entire time, while giving me reassurance on all of my concerns. It was 102ish degrees the day of our wedding (of course!), but she busted her butt giving us the most beautiful pictures. We will be definitely using Diana again!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

Diana is so great! I booked a mini session with her after I saw her beautiful work through a co-worker. Due to the bad smoke with the fires we had to reschedule. She truly went out of her way to come closer to me in order for the mini session to work out. She was also so so so sweet with our 2 year old daughter and knew exactly how to make her smile. Our photos were way better than I could imagine. I highly recommend her. I hope she will be able to take our family photos every year! read more

Diana did an amazing job taking our family holiday pictures for 2016! She was lively, personable, and professional. She did a great job of making everyone feel comfortable and even managed to get great shots of us with a baby and a dog all looking at the camera! The pictures turned out beautifully, we will definitely be using her again and I recommend her to everyone we know. Two thumbs up! read more

Diana took holiday photos for my family and I couldn't be happier with the results! Something that was important to me was finding a photographer experienced in working with toddlers. As a fellow mom, she was a total pro; she had lots of tricks for making our shoot a fun experience for our 2 year old. I would've been happy with even 1 great shot of all of us... and she delivered dozens! I'm so happy to have these incredible photos that capture our family at this moment in time. Already looking forward to the next occasion when we can work with Diana again :-) read more

I highly recommend Diana. I hired her to do the photography for my brand/website (I'm a personal trainer) in Alameda. Even before I met her, I knew I was going to love her! She was professional from start to finish - taking time to think through my prep for the shoot, helping me map out what shots we were going to try for, and giving me ideas for locations. During the shoot, she was super fun and didn't make me feel awkward at all. She took the time to get all the shots we wanted without making me feel rushed. The proofs arrived by email within a week. Diana was great - you won't regret hiring her! read more

I couldn't recommend Diana more for wedding photos. Not only do we absolutely LOVE all our photos, she was great to work with. We had a San Francisco City Hall wedding and Diana was a dream to work with. Since she hadn't shot at City Hall in a while, she scouted locations ahead of when we arrived and knew some amazing spots to take us for photos after ceremony. Diana sent us a check list of which family groups we wanted to do photos with ahead of the ceremony day, so we were able to get all our various combinations of parents, siblings, step-parents, etc., photos done quickly, which was key as it was a busy day at City Hall and groups were lining up behind us for the prime photo spots. After we dismissed our families to take just bride/groom photos, Diana was sweet and calming really set us at ease. Our photos turned out AMAZING. Both my husband and I were very nervous that we wouldn't like seeing ourselves in the photos, and we should not have been nervous at all - they are STUNNING and we love them more and more every time we look at them! We've had people tell us they are some of the best wedding photos they have seen. Diana is very talented and we couldn't be happier. read more

When choosing a photographer for my wedding, Diana's work immediately appealed to me. They are clean, crisp, and the use of lighting and natural colors remind me of what I would find in a Anthropologie catalog! Diana is very down-to-earth and easy to work with. She made us both feel comfortable in front of the camera for both engagement and wedding photographs. For our engagement photos, we wanted them taken at a restaurant where we had our first date. Diana went out of her way to make arrangements with the restaurant so that we could have the restaurant all to ourselves and shoot before it opened! I also appreciated how Diana went with us to look at the venue before our wedding. This helped her visualize the place beforehand and I was able to tell her exactly what I wanted and where I wanted. Diana also throughly went over my timeline and we chatted a day before our wedding to go over logistics. This put me at ease given all the other things that were going on. Diana always kept us posted and delivered the images/proofs on time as promised. Thank you Diana! It was lovely to work with you and we will cherish our beautiful images! read more

Diana Fast Photography - Session Photography Near Me

My wife and I decided to go with Diana Maire Photography for our wedding and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From the moment we contacted Diana about the wedding, she was extremely helpful and positive about the entire process. Her positive attitude was particularly calming on the day of wedding, when people's nerves can get the best of them. The photos turned out great and we received them promptly. Thanks to Diana for making our wedding memories that much better. read more

We LOVE our family photos! Diana was great at capturing our two wild dogs in the cutest poses. She knew exactly where to go for a beautiful location and made the experience so fun and laid back. We will only go back to Diana for any future session. read more

If you want to hire the best, hire Diana. Weddings, family portraits, newborns - there's no task too daunting for this photographer. Diana has photographed all of my friend's weddings, and I was so impressed that I had to hire her for a long awaited family photo with my 70 year old parents. She was AMAZING! Diana has a knack for making her clients feel comfortable in front of the camera, as well as making you all look fabulous. Her communication is timely and incredibly professional. You won't be disappointed with your photos, or your experience! read more

Diana is an awesome photographer! All you have to do is look at her portfolio and you can see her raw talent, she is a true artist. Diana has photographed a wedding I was in, as well as a portrait session for my immediate family. She is professional but she is also friendly and down to earth, making you feel comfortable immediately. She is good at managing the crowd so she can get the best shots. She is also really great at planning and scouting creative locations! She rocks! read more

Diana was truly a pleasure to work with! She took our engagement photos in 2008 and both my fiancé and I were so impressed with how she was both professional, yet able to put us at ease at the same time. It can be a little strange having someone up close and personal taking pictures, but Diana made us feel comfortable...and look great! She had an excellent eye for finding spots that didn't seem that special to the naked eye, but once the proofs came back it was clear she has a talent for 'what works.' Beyond the photo shoot experience itself, she was very easy to get in touch with, and I was surprised how quickly she got through the editing process. I've received so many compliments on the pictures and what I love most about them is that they reflect us as a couple, and not just a 'format' that all clients are put through. I will be coming back to Diana for my future photo needs and have already referred her to several friends looking for photographers read more

Our engagement photos, our first family photos, and our holiday cards have been amazing - all thanks to Diana. The shoots are fun because she's so laid back and personable, which clearly shows in the photos. She is very professional, and great about getting the photos over to you quickly so you can start ordering all the pictures that you love!!! I would recommend Diana to anyone. read more

What can I say, amazing, flexible, creative, hysterical are all perfectly suitable words to describe Diana but I don't feel that any of them do her or or work justice. Diana photographed our wedding in September 2011 and then came back the next day because I really wanted to "wreck the dress" by jumping in a pool. Armed with her camera in waterproof housing she jumped right in the pool with us (See photos posted). We had so much fun taking photos on our wedding day and the day after. I have looked at a lot of her photos and am amazed at how well she can capture the essence of a couple or a family or single newborn and make each shoot so unique. She listens to what you want out of your photos and hits the mark every time, she can do the classic photos with ease and will amaze you with some of her funny, creative and artistic shots if you are game. I can't wait to have an opportunity to have her photograph us again and have been recommending her to anyone that I know that is getting married, even strangers I overhear in line at the grocery store..I cannot say enough good things! read more

Every parent knows that taking good pictures of their child is very tricky. Our daughter is not interested in smiling for the camera and loses her attention very quickly. She gave Diana about 5 min of her time before running of again to play. I was sure that we maybe have 1 or 2 good pictures if we were lucky. I was so happy and super surprised when I received over 20 beautiful pictures. I have no idea how she did it but she captured our little girl the way we see her even though my daughter was all over the place, looking everywhere and just being done after 5 min. I will never go with anyone else again! She is the best! read more

Diana was our wedding photographer June 20, 2009. She and her assistant Betsy were with us (Diana with me and Betsy with my husband) from the time we started getting ready around 2 pm until the time the wedding ended around 10 pm. They were professional and fun to work with and were very attentive, getting us incredible shots to remember our wedding day. They offered suggestions for photo opportunities, and Diana put together a beautiful album for us. Diana always responded promptly to any questions we had throughout the process of booking them until completion of the album and additional prints that we wanted. We feel that we got what we paid for and more! We would highly recommend Diana Maire photography! read more

Diana was amazing!! She has the warmest personality and was so calm and easy going throughout the entire process. It was snowing / raining right before our ceremony and she managed to get the most gorgeous photos of us outdoors in the trees that I will cherish forever. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for unique, beautiful wedding photos. I love my photos! read more

I could not be happier with Diana as my wedding photographer. Since I am a perfectionist, I researched photographers extensively before my wedding, and I met with several before choosing Diana. I was feeling a little stressed about that part of my planning, because the photography was one of the two most important parts to me of the wedding (the other was finding the right dress), and I was working on a budget, which I think is common for brides these days. I eventually chose Diana because a) I could tell from her work that she was an exceptional photographer, and b) she was willing to work with me to develop a package that I could afford. As for the wedding itself, I could not imagine any photographer being a better addition to the assembly of wedding guests. My wedding had its own special bit of pre-ceremony craziness, but Diana was calm and kind through the entire evening. She did not seem perturbed by the stress of the wedding, and her presence made everything better. She was always where she needed to be, and she was never in the way. She would be an ideal wedding guest, whether or not she was taking pictures! When I finally received all my pictures back, I was so happy! Diana is extraordinarily talented: her shots are clear, beautiful, and professional. She has the ability to be at the right place at the right time, and she knows how to capture good photographs. While I was able to absorb the beauty of the ceremony site, the reception was such a blur that I didn't notice all of the beautiful decorations, and I didn't have time to greet every guest. It was wonderful to look through my wedding photos and see lovely shots of my guests and the decorations. I haven't received my album yet, not because of Diana (she is superbly on time!), but because I have not had time to get around to selecting pictures; however, I am excited about it, because I know Diana will do a good job, based on how professionally and beautifully she has done everything so far. I would recommend Diana to anyone! read more

Wow!! Diana came highly recommended from a friend who used her as her wedding photographer. My husband and I just got married and couldn't be happier with choosing Diana as well!! She was phenomenal. Although I was harder to reach, I loved that she really wanted to get to know me during the wedding planning process and was in constant communication. I loved her pictures on her website because she was unique and had a great eye that wasn't too traditional and generic "just like everybody else's." She asked me all the right questions about what I liked and wanted without putting too much pressure on me since she is the professional. She was knowledgeable and organized and very patient with us. The day of the wedding we couldn't find our list of specific shots we wanted so she knew who to call up after the ceremony (ie: mom and dad, cousins, etc) and she didn't panic at all and made me feel okay about stupidly forgetting it. She made it all work out smoothly. She's from San Francisco and came out with another photographer so neither knew the area at all. They took the time to scope out the area and find the perfect shots for both sides of the wedding party. It was so much fun and I can't wait to see all the shots! The photographers never stopped taking pictures and I know captured some awesome "candid" moments that will be way better than just standing there and posing. Of course we still did the traditional shots but she exceeded our expectations by capturing "us" in the other photos! Diana also snuck my husband and I out of the reception to take some amazing sunset photos. It was awesome to be able to take a moment of just us! Diana sent us a sneak peak of some of the pictures and they are SO INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to see the rest! I highly recommend her for her suburb professionalism and talents!! We are so grateful for her services. You won't regret your decision in hiring her! read more
