“Our Idyllwild elopement was such a fun and relaxed day, which is exactly what I was hoping for. (That’s saying a lot considering it POURED rain right before our ceremony!) I think one of the main reasons I was so stress free was thanks to Diana! She was so helpful during the planning stages, the day of, and even afterwards answering questions making suggestions, reaching out with helpful reminders, and keeping us on schedule. I was really worried about finding the right photographer because my husband and I are both awkward in front of the camera and I didn’t want that to show, but Diana made us feel comfortable the entire day. She sent us our sneak peeks so quickly which was so exciting!! I can’t believe how magical all the photos look and it’s so fun reliving the day over and over. I am so glad we decided to hire Diana! 🖤🖤🖤”
— Liz & Jaime | Idyllwild, CA“10/10. My husband I made the decision to have a destination elopement in JTNP and hired Love & Latitudes after chatting with them some. I am definitely an over-thinker and looked into so many options in terms of locations, photographers, etc. prior. Making the decision to hire Diana and Isiah was the best decision I think we could have made for our wedding day. They took the stress out of EVERYTHING from the planning process to actual day of coordination. Communication was a breeze and made the process as easy as can-be. We are beyond thrilled with our experience and photos. We had a private ceremony officiated by Isiah. They put so much care into making the experience totally stress-free and special. From helping me with transporting my bouquet and carrying our water bottles and hiking shoes to literally picking individual cactus spurs out of my dress in the desert heat. Not to mention, they also downloaded our playlist as a surprise and had our music on hand where there was no cell service. Because of them and their thoughtfulness, we were able to have a first dance at our ceremony site which we hadn't even thought of planning for ourselves. On top of how memorable and smooth of an experience we had, it was fun sharing our wedding day with them. Plus, and importantly, the actual photos we have from our wedding day are absolutely phenomenal! Diana managed to capture the most authentic-feeling, beautiful and creative images of this memorable time.”
— Melanie & Jordan | Joshua Tree National Park, CA“We had such an incredible experience with Diana! She was a great person to have around on wedding day. Laid back but still directive on what to do during photos. We couldn’t have asked for a better (or cooler) photographer and we’re thrilled with how all of the photos turned out. She provided a generous sneak peak just days after the wedding and even got all of our photos done and sent to us in less time than she initially quoted.”
— Remi & Jaime | Capitol Reef National Park, UT“The gap between weddings and elopements is narrowing due to various reasons such as efficiency, logistics, and of course, cost. Choosing to elope vs. having a wedding can be a strange decision because it means forfeiting many of the things that make a wedding special; however, it also means the freedom to plan your day the way YOU want while retaining the most special moments you share with your spouse. My wife and I chose to elope because we wanted the day to be about us, and only us. We wanted it to be intimate and carefree, while also capturing a time and place that would be unique to our story. This is where Diana comes in! Her photography is something to behold! We knew immediately that we wanted her to photograph our day the way we wanted to. She was a total rockstar! She made us feel comfortable, while guiding us through the motions to capture those perfect memories. The photos that we have are nothing short of incredible, and even convinced our family that eloping was definitely the right choice! Not to mention her husband, Isiah, was able to officiate the ceremony so we were able to get an all-in-one package. Upon meeting them both it felt like we had known them for years. Their energy and passion was infectious, and it made our elopement stress free. All I can say, if you are struggling between an elopement or a wedding, Diana and Isiah make it a no-brainer. She will go over the logistics, cost, and devise a game plan for the whole day. She is so easy to talk to and she is a human database of elopement/photography knowledge. We would recommend Love and Latitudes 1000% every time! Cheers Diana and Isiah, and thank you again!❤”
— Amanda & Austin | Death Valley National Park, CA“We had our elopement last August with Diana and Isiah, and it was wonderful! Diana is both an amazing coordinator and a talented photographer. She understood our vision perfectly and even delivered a special edit I requested—it looked fantastic!
Being from Canada and planning our elopement in Santa Barbara was a bit overwhelming, but Diana made it easy with her detailed timelines and assistance with all the details. Isiah took the time to chat with us over the phone to really get to know us as a couple, which made our ceremony feel personal and special.
The whole experience was relaxed and enjoyable. We highly recommend Diana and Isiah to anyone looking to elope. They made our day unforgettable!”
— Lea & Carlo | Santa Barbara Courthouse, CA“My wife and I could not have asked for two better people to join us on our wedding day than Diana and Isiah. Diana is honestly a magician with a camera and made us look stunning but also feel comfortable in front of the camera. We were also shook when she gave us a “sneak peak” album of a good amount of photos within 24 hours. Both Diana and Isiah were patient and helpful when creating the timeline and ceremony. There are so many things to worry over on your wedding day, so do yourself a favor and hire Love and Latitudes and it’s one less thing you have to worry about! Would choose again!”
— Asher & Mel | Sparrow Valley Retreat, CA“It's hard to sum up just how incredible Diana is. She is so approachable, genuine and fun. My husband and I eloped in AZ with a few friends and we honestly felt as if we'd known Diana for years with how easily she fit into our group!
Something I really appreciated about her style is that I never felt we were being posed, any direction we got from Diana was to enhance what was already there. It was really important to me that we looked like ourselves, which is exactly what we got. Everything felt very comfortable and natural, which was really nice as an anxious person who doesn't usually want to have her picture taken. I love every single one of our photos and it makes me tear up just thinking about how special the whole thing was. Not to mention that she delivered an incredible gallery from a very rare rainy day!
Diana is so incredibly talented and kind, and the finishing touches she executes are just incredible, from making gifs to editing just the right amount to offering beautiful products and generously large galleries. I wouldn't change our experience at all, and I don't think I could think of a single improvement if I tried.”
— Bella & Steffen | Saguaro National Park, AZ“Diana photographed our small wedding/elopement in November 2022, and we 1000% recommend her!!
We knew we wanted to have an intimate ceremony in Joshua tree national park, and a quick google search led us to Love and Latitudes. We wanted something non-traditional, but more creative and unique. After looking through her portfolio and a quick phone call, we knew we had a great match!!
I (the bride) can be very socially anxious and also camera shy, but as soon as we started, all that melted away! As you can clearly see in the photos, Diana made us feel at ease and comfortable as if we were just hanging out with a friend.
Diana was super helpful in the planning phase as well. She provided us with a vendors list for the area, and was quick with responses whenever we had a question. She would also check in with us to offer any more help we might need.
Having Isiah officiate also saved us a ton of time and worry. He even asked about what to wear to make sure he fit the vibe and it was perfect.
Diana was a joy to work with, which is just a bonus to our amazing photos. We have multiple canvas prints around the house and have already received numerous compliments on them. From our candid photos to some fun pics featuring our beloved pets, the scope and variety of the sessions was amazing. It was the best day of our lives and no one could have captured it as beautifully.
If you’re looking for creative, unique, and professional photos, you’d be missing out not to book Love and Latitudes. We will treasure these photos forever. Thank you Diana.”
— Charlie & Roger | Joshua Tree National Park, CA“I have an endless supply of wonderful things to say about Diana! She helped us capture our perfect wedding day and I will be forever grateful. We decided to have a micro beach ceremony in So Cal and are from Ohio. I thought it would be stresssful to get it figured out but she helped so much. Diana helped us navigate permits and things we would need to make the day happen. She scouted out our location the day before and quickly made adjustments on the day of. She helped manage our timeline and gave thoughtful suggestions if things needed adjusted so we would have more time with our friends and family. She had great suggestions of things to do in the area and around national parks we were visiting too. She had a great list of vendors and ultimately we picked our own and she worked well with everyone. We used Isiah as our officiant and he was so easy to work with and helped craft a ceremony that fit us perfectly. I will keep recommending them to anyone we know!!”
— Anyllah & Sam | Huntington Beach, CA“My wife and I cannot begin to express how grateful we are to have had the Love & Latitudes team, Diana and Isiah, photograph and make official our wedding ceremony. Given that this is our first marriage, we had so many questions! Diana and Isiah were a blessing, as they answered all questions we had and made for a day to be happily remembered for the rest of our lives. When you hire Love & Latitudes, you are not only getting a photographer and/or officiant; you are getting someone who truly cares about making your special day even more special. The attention to detail is not only in the photos, which by the way are out of this world, but also in the help provided while getting ready for the ceremony. I strongly encourage anyone who is on the fence about hiring Love & Latitudes to go for it. I promise you will not regret that decision.”
— Alex & Cesca | Joshua Tree National Park, CA“To say that Diana and Isiah went above and beyond is truly an understatement! We have so much to thank them for, from guiding us in the elopement of our dreams to accommodating our family last minute, they were gracious, kind, and very professional in meeting our every need.
When we first approached them, we did not know what to expect other than we wanted to elope on our anniversary in Joshua Tree but had no clue where to begin. Diana walked us through the permit process, while Isiah took the time to get to know us in order to provide a special service. In turn, we shared with them our quirks and how we envisioned our day, together coming up with an itinerary for a magical day. Days away from the elopement, some close family and friends informed us they would show up, thanks to Diana we were able to reserve a spot to take care of everyone. Even before meeting Diana and Isiah, they stepped up and took care of us. When the big day finally came, it was incredibly awesome how at ease they made us feel. I am more on the nervous side, while my husband is the photogenic one. The hardest part was the constant transitions for the location in which Diana was able to help suggest locations and lead us throughout the day. It was a fairytale day, the ceremony was actually easy as Diana and Isiah provided us with an itinerary and let us adjust it to fit our needs. Throughout the day she made suggestions for poses but really caught us just being ourselves and the photos absolutely reflect our emotions on that day.
We proudly share our photos with friends and family and encourage anyone planning an elopement to utilize Diana and Isiah's brilliant service. They have clients for life. <3”
— Janee & Ryan | Joshua Tree NP, CA“Diana and Isiah truly made our elopement one of the most incredible days of our lives.
From the very first meeting, Diana and Isiah were nothing but helpful, responsive, and patient. We decided shortly before the wedding that we wanted to have night shots. Diana was able to provide us with some examples of her previous night shoots and helped us pick out the perfect location. The entire planning process was significantly easier with Diana’s assistance. She also checked in just enough to ensure we were feeling ready for the big day. Isiah was able to help us decide all of the big details for our ceremony and made it feel uniquely us.
On the big day, we were so thankful for Diana and Isiah. As soon as they arrived for the getting-ready photos, my stress disappeared. Diana took all the shots that we wanted and was a true professional in setting everything up. Isaiah was our officiant and did an amazing job
During and after our actual ceremony, both Diana and Isiah were lifesavers. Diana was able to get photos that weren’t overly posed and really felt like us as a couple. Isiah did an amazing job with our ceremony and was also there to assist with everything else, from helping us up steep rocks to carrying items for the photos. We are so thankful we went with Love and Latitudes for our elopement. We can’t sing their praise enough, and would pick them again in a heartbeat.”
— Sara & Anthony | Joshua Tree National Park, CA“Diana was the best photographer we could’ve asked for. Her work is incredible and exactly what we were looking for for our small beachside wedding. She made the whole process so easy and was so communicative throughout the entire planning process even making sure we were on track with our marriage license, ceremony script etc. My husband and I really wanted our photos to look natural and capture us as couple instead of something overly posed like some wedding photography and Diana managed to do just that. We’ve received countless compliments on these photos and have had so many of our friends and family tell us they’ve never seen wedding photos as good as these. We are so glad we found Diana and would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding/elopement photographer.”
— Rachel & Kevin | Crystal Cove State Beach, CA“We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience working with Diana and Isiah for our Death Valley elopement. From the start, they were both so kind and made us feel comfortable, which was huge for us since my husband and I are a bit shy and didn’t have much experience being professionally photographed.
Diana really impressed us with how knowledgeable she is about finding the best locations and knowing the perfect times during the day to get the best photos at each spot. She has a great eye for it, and we trusted her completely. On the wedding day, she was organized and made everything run smoothly so we didn’t have to worry about a thing.
As for the ceremony, Isiah did a wonderful job. He took the time to create a ceremony that felt personal, special, and just right for us. We couldn't have asked for a more meaningful moment.
The photos were absolutely stunning. Diana gave us a good balance of candid moments, the more traditional posed shots we wanted, and some really beautiful unique artistic photos. We got a beautiful mix that captured every aspect of our day in such an amazing way.
If you want a couple that brings professionalism, a great eye for detail, and makes you feel completely at ease, we can’t recommend Diana and Isiah enough. They truly made our wedding day unforgettable.”
— Emily & Colin | Death Valley National Park, CA“We worked with Diana for our engagement and wedding. She was incredible! I can be pretty camera shy, but she made me feel very comfortable. She was also incredibly flexible in working with us. Our date and plan changed due to some family considerations. We went from a small elopement in the desert to a backyard wedding of about 100, and she was so understanding! Diana was helpful in establishing a schedule, shot list, and more. We had a consultation the week before our wedding so she could make sure to address any concerns we had. She made our backyard venue look so polished, and was able to frame photos very well in spite of some difficult lighting during our ceremony. Our family loves the photos we got back! There are so many wonderful candids, I feel that she really managed to capture the joy of the day.”
