from disneyland adventures to capturing their love story 🥹 — i first met & last year when i just did a fun lil couples’ shoot with them at disneyland! fast forward a couple months later, they’re ✨engaged✨ and trusted me to do their engagement photos!

here’s to wedding planning bliss + all the magical moments in between!

and shoutout to for being my assistant, hahaha

hello! i’m dianna! if you’re here, chances are you’re thinking about trusting me with capturing some of your most important memories. it only seems fair that i share a bit about myself!

here are some fun facts about me!

+ i love the great outdoors. hiking, camping, and exploring national parks are right up my alley.

+ cameras, whether film or digital, are my playground. i could talk about them for hours and i have quite a collection on my shelves (13 35mm film cameras, 1 120mm film camera, 3 camcorders, 3 super 8 cameras, & 8 digital cameras). it’s a problem at this point.

+ i’m a huge bookworm. if you have a goodreads, add me! i love romantasy (romance + fantasy) and my favorite authors are taylor jenkins reid, sarah j. maas, rebecca yarros, and jennifer l. armentrout!

+ i’m a capricorn sun, virgo moon, and cancer rising. this probably explains why i’m such a perfectionist lol

+ i’m a super fan of the amazing race, survivor, and the bachelor franchise. if anyone wants to be my partner on the amazing race, i’m in!

06/02/2024

hello there! so thrilled to have you here! i’m dianna and i’m a california-based wedding + elopement videographer, specializing in long-form documentary films that beautifully encapsulate your most cherished memories.

in my world, it’s all about authenticity, honesty, and intentionality. i believe in going beyond the surface to capture the real, raw emotions and genuine moments that make your story uniquely yours. each frame is a piece of your narrative, carefully woven into a tapestry of love and human connection.

my commitment is to create more than just videos — i’m here to craft visual stories that resonate, evoke emotions, and stand the test of time. so buckle in, and let’s make some magic together!

06/02/2024

new year, new branding, but same ole me!

if you’re new here, welcome! i’m a wedding and elopement videographer and i love showing off all the beautiful people i get to work with! so grab a coffee (or in my case, a matcha latte or some dutch bros) and stay a while!

picture this: a magical blend of heartfelt vows, stolen glances, soft touches, and the stunning landscapes of beautiful destinations — that’s what i’m all about!

every single frame holds a piece of someone’s forever and i’m so glad you’re here to witness it with me.

imagine this: you’re nestled in a cozy cabin in the heart of the san bernardino mountains with your lover. you’re escaping the chaos of the city + lose yourselves in each other’s company.

this has got to be one of my favorite adventure sessions — thank you, kayla + kohrie, for sharing your love with me and an especially huge thank you for braving the thigh-deep snow 😭

nothing like a good ole day at disneyland 🐭✨

if you’ve known me long enough, you’ll know i started with photography in high school! i dabbled in landscape (still do), portraits, and eventually couples! while wedding + elopement videography is #1 in my heart, it’s been so fun to get creative with the medium i have deep roots in!

shooting 35mm film these past couple of years only fueled this (shameless plug to ). all that to say, if anyone is interested in a photo only adventure session, whether at disneyland or anywhere, my inquiries are open and i’m so down!

I was featured on Shoutout LA a couple months back and totally forgot to share it on Facebook! Check out the link below to view my story. :-)

We had the good fortune of connecting with Dianna Nguyen and we've shared our conversation below. Hi Dianna, what role has risk played in your life or career? One of my New Year's resolutions for 2022 has been to take more risks. As a type A perfectionist, I like to stay where I am comfortable.

Haley Wilde Photography and I are truly devastated to hear about all the couples affected by Tolman Media. We would love to extend help in any way that we can!
