Diaz and Diaz Photography

e was there ALL DAY with us, and was really dedicated to not missing a thing! The pictures are GORGEOUS! I have them in a digital frame that rotates through all of them, and sometimes I just sit and stare at it with a big, dumb smile on my face. She was super chill, too, and helped things go smoothly. My husband and his groomsmen also had a lot of fun with Jess in getting group and getting ready shots. My husband HATES getting pictures taken, and he said it was so fun and easy. They're both the best!

er shoot my wedding. Dory was very easy to get in touch with leading up to the day, asked all the right questions and stayed in touch in the weeks after as well. We absolutely love our entire gallery - do not hesitate to hire Dory as your wedding photographer!!

The sneak peak photographs are beautiful and I can’t thank her enough for capturing the best day of my life so far. So excited to see the rest. We stayed on schedule, she made pictures very easy and quick, and she didn’t miss any small detail! Looking back and talking about our wedding day memories, we all laugh and talk about the fun times we had - and that includes many memories with Dory and Jess!

ale models on my wedding day. I’ll cherish these photos and memories. Jess captures the best shots of the guys, and beautiful photos of my wife and I. Highly recommend.

y engagement photos turned out so well, I'm so excited to see my wedding photos! The sneak peeks I've seen so far have been amazing! Dory is very good at day of timeline planning, and on the day helping keep everyone on track and on time! She's also very skilled at fading into the background while taking pictures. Other than a few prods here and there to do this or that, she excels at candid moments, and really likes to let her subjects shine by doing what is natural to them. As someone who gets a little awkward and shy in front of the camera, she made it so easy to forget she was even taking pictures! During our first look, I completely forgot she was there, and the shots I've seen from it so far make it seem like we truly were in our own world. You will not regret hiring her to do your wedding!

When it was time for us to get married we knew that she was the photographer we wanted. She was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. From the time we scheduled our engagement pictures right up until we got our wedding pictures we knew we were in good hands. She's so knowledgeable and helped guide us down the right path when making decisions but was also completely receptive and respectful of our own ideas and requests. She always gave us her honest opinion and we knew she was someone we could trust which took a huge load off our shoulders. On top of being an amazing photographer she's also an incredible person and someone that my wife and I now consider a friend. On the day of the wedding both Dory and her assistant Jess were incredible! Dory spent the day with the bridesmaids while Jess spent the day with me and my groomsmen. I've been in a few weddings and based on my experiences I was completely dreading the wedding picture process. To me, the goal leading up to the wedding was to have fun and relax with my groomsmen and not waste the day taking pictures. But I was pleasantly surprised by my experience with Jess. She has a great personality and put us all at ease right off the bat and allowed us to do our thing. She was cracking jokes and having a good time right along with us which was awesome! What we all thought was going to be a hindrance ended up being a lot of fun which I never thought I'd say about taking pictures. I can't thank her enough for making it such an easy and surprisingly enjoyable process. We got our wedding pictures back and my wife can't stop looking at them and talking about how amazing they are. We could not be happier with both the process and the end product. We've been recommending this duo to our friends non-stop and can't stress enough how great this experience has been! If you're looking for a photographer, Dory is absolutely the best choice! PS: My wife and I would definitely recommend doing a first look! Makes the wedding day so much more enjoyable!

t even if they didn't, Dory and Jess made such a special addition to our day that it wouldnt have mattered. THAT is how special they are as a team. SO many people complimented thier behavior and personalities that we've been trying to find the right words to say, being that "thank you" isnt enough. We couldnt have made a better choice !!

Dory's photos are beautiful and she had worked at our venue prior. We knew she was the photigrapher fir us! On our wedding day, Dory and Jess made us feel nothing but comfortable the entire time and made sure we were all having fun doing it! They both have such a pleasant and fun energy the entire time. They both were also so good about organizing their time and had incredible control over situating everyone for photos. I couldn't be happier about how our photos came out! Through the entire day, I had zero concerns about moments being captured because I knew Dory and Jess were on top of it. I would recommend Dory to everyone with a wedding coming up! Thank you Dory and Jess for capturing our day!

then asked me things that I would not have even thought of! When we met for the first time in person to do our engagement shoot my fiance and I just loved her! She made it look so easy. She got the most beautiful pictures and seeing those I know we definitely made the right choice. She is just so friendly and warm and makes you feel like a part of the family when she's taking your photo. She talks you through all of the posing and it just looks so natural. And she is not afraid to get dirty! She will crawl/hike/jump/roll in dirt to get the best photos possible. She was also able to take our rehearsal dinner photos and this was such a good call! It gave her and her assistant Jess time to meet a lot of the friends and family before the actual wedding so they could just immerse themselves into the parties. They fit in so well with our crew! Everyone loved working with them! They were so funny, so talented, so professional and just so much fun to be around. I never wanted them to leave the wedding! I promise hiring Dory will be the best decision you make for your wedding!

needs and is very enthusiastic about her work ON TOP of taking all those photos. My husband and I, as well as all our family and friends, are obsessed with our photos. She captured the love, fun and happiness so well and is creative with everyone’s special day, uniquely. If you want a photographer you can rely on for amazing service and pictures go through Dory Diaz Photography. She does not disappoint!!

lace, the pictures come out beautiful. I would, without a doubt, have them photograph another special occasion!! We absolutely loved having them as our photographers and there on our day!

tos we wanted, but they captured moments between us and our friends and families that I honestly forgot about in all the commotion. I swear Dory was like part of the family as she helped me calm my nerves and assured me everything was going to be perfect. I had never been on the side of doing a First Look before the ceremony, but after thinking about all the family photos that we wanted and also trying to get sunset pictures as our wedding was in the evening during winter, we finally listened and are so glad we did. Although it didn’t snow like I had hoped, the rain held out just long enough for us to have our First Look. When the freezing rain held off, we were able to get outside and take the pictures I had always wanted. Dory and Jess were great about making sure people came in and out of photos quickly while still getting great shots so we didn’t have to freeze too much!

r big wedding party and made sure to catch fun moments in both the bridal and groomsmen suites ahead of time. My husband and I would absolutely recommend Dory Diaz Photography! :D

ty, and a steadiness that was truly extraordinary. Her work is professional and her approach is personal. An absolutely perfect combination!

I knew I had to do my due diligence in researching vendors as odds were it would be difficult to meet with everyone. Photographers were #1 on my list. There were many great portfolios I saw, but none were really wow-ing me. Then, I got to Dory's website and I was nothing short of blown away. The images that she and her second shooter Jess were able to capture were absolutely gorgeous. Somehow, she was able to capture pure emotion in an image. What solidified it for me was reading more about her when she said that her favorite shot is the one taken right after the posed shot. The candids... the candids were amazing! When I first called Dory, I felt we were instantly best friends. I found myself so comfortable with her in that first phone call that I booked with her right then and there (even though I had 3 other photographers on my list to call). I knew just from her personality that she would be the perfect fit. We met on a cold, sleet filled day in Maine to scout out potential first look sites at our venue. Dory was such a trooper, climbing rocks all while laughing at what a ridiculous day it was outside! I knew right then that I had made the right choice. My husband is extremely camera shy (we have about 3 pictures of us in our whole relationship!). This was a major concern for me as having beautiful pictures was so important, but that last thing I wanted was for him to feel uncomfortable on our wedding day. Dory and Jess managed to capture so many stunning (and to be honest, hilarious) pictures of us, that my husband actually started picking out spots himself to take pictures. Dory and Jess made our wedding. Not just with beautiful images, but with their personalities. I instantly felt like they fit right in with my girls. They were up for anything from laying on the ground with us hovering over them to cleaning off the ceiling after we were spraying champagne all over the place (these pictures were AMAZING and I highly recommend spraying champagne with your girls before the wedding!). They had so many awesome ideas for pictures that I will now treasure forever. They were so flexible and up for anything we wanted to do. The best part is, Dory is just an awesome person. Her skills are amazing, but when you're going to have someone by your side for 10 hours, you better like them! I miss e-mailing and talking to her all the time, I truly felt like I made new friend. She made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day and even played therapist a time or two when there were a few hiccups during the day. She was my rock that day and the images she got were breathtaking. I have not stopped hearing from my family and friends on how gorgeous the pictures are. She truly captured the pure emotions of that day (with some shenanigans mixed in!). I honestly wish I lived in Maine so we could just go hang out on the weekends! I will forever treasure our pictures and the memory of how amazing Dory and Jess were will last a lifetime. I strongly encourage you to book with her, it will be the best decision you make for your wedding.

a no brainer. I was practically sprinting to get a hold of her and didn’t bother wasting my time exploring other options. Dory’s photography style is just fantastic, she really knows how to capture an authentic feeling in the most natural way. No awkward prom style photos here. Every photo she captures and edits is absolutely stunning. On top of delivering A++ work, Dory’s positive energy is another reason to book her. The big day can feel overwhelming and stressful but Dory’s presence was calming. It honestly felt like one of my oldest girlfriends was present to help me get ready to walk down the aisle. Dory’s commitment to customer service cannot be found elsewhere. It is such a priority for Dory to really get to know the bride and groom, to understand their vision and style and deliver accordingly. She drove nearly 4 hours one way to photograph my wedding — talk about a commitment! It wouldn’t be fair to mention how much I love Dory without mentioning her second shooter, Jess. Another gem, with a really great eye, attention to detail and a killer personality. She had us laughing for days. If I could get married every year and hire Dory (and Jess), I would. Do yourself a favor and just book her, you won’t be disappointed.

was able to deliver photos in the style we had wanted. Dory was also always in the right spot at the right time- capturing all of our moments, smiles and laughter. Dory fit our budget, personalities and style. Our package included a second photographer, Jess. Her and Dory worked seamlessly together all day. We couldn’t be more happier with our photos and experience! Thanks, Dory!

agined - that’s a lot of pressure! Dory’s shining positivity and can-do attitude made me feel comforted and reassured that everything was going to be amazing. She told me I looked beautiful when my nephew cried because I was in hair rollers (ha!), she laid on the ground to get the perfect shot, she made silly noises to make my niece and nephew smile, and I even heard she waved a boat away right before our ceremony! And Jess is a fun ball of energy that added levity and excitement to the day. Because of Dory, Jess, and our day-of wedding coordinator, I really felt able to relax and just enjoy myself - what a gift! Dory is obviously experienced and does a lot of weddings, but she made our day together feel unique and personal. She took time before the wedding to get to know us through phone calls and surveys, and she even memorized our wedding party’s names before arriving at the venue! I think these gestures really helped us feel more comfortable so Dory and Jess were able to capture our candid moments. And her photos are truly beautiful. I went with Dory because I prefer candids to staged photos, and that seems to be her special sauce. Her and Jess played with light and were creative with their surroundings, and I love the shots we’ve seen so far! Dory is just a genuinely kind and positive person, and she is a pleasure to be around. If you follow her on Facebook or Instagram, you can tell she has a following of loyal customers and friends who love her work - and now I am one of them!

, comfortable and informed of events throughout the day. I was extremely impressed with how in tune they were with my husband as well. My husband is not used to being in the spotlight and they made sure he felt as comfortable as possible. I will forever cherish all of their amazing photographs that they captured on our wedding day.

She contacted all of our vendors to let them know what the schedule was going to be and allow a free dialogue across all vendors. Her associate Jess was just as wonderful and fun to work with! They communicate great and get you all the photos you want to remember about your wedding for a lifetime. Perfection!

ory and Jess, they felt like bonus members of our bridal party. Dory and Jess were accommodating and flexible while plans changed during our wedding day. I was amazed by how many gorgeous candid shots they captured without being intrusive. I would recommend Dory and Jess to anyone seeking fun, talented, and professional photographers to capture your special day!

derful eye and is great at catching genuine moments.

came out beautiful, we are so happy and pleased with our whole experience with Dory! Would highly recommend!!

istant Jess, and I were driving in my car to the venue when I wanted to make sure my car was clean so I stopped at a carwash. We wound up needing to use the manual wash (where you spray and wash your car by hand). Jess insisted that she be the one to wash it so that my best man and I didn't mess up our suits. That kind of dedication is rare and shows their focus on a wonderful experience. Dory is never satisfied with doing the minimum, rather, she is always trying new styles while still having the experience of years of photography to make every picture worthy of a frame. Again, my highest recommendation goes to Dory. Thanks again Dory! -Robert

easy going yet at the same time very thorough and of the best quality! We LOVE the pictures in our daughters wedding gallery and would recommend Dory to anyone. She is very pleasant, professional and talented! You won’t be disappointed.

e so easy going and fit right in with our crazy clan. They were very patient with all of us, especially the kids. I love how Dory does black and white as well as color photos. The pictures of my daughters wedding at the Union Bluff were amazing. I loved all the special moments that were captured on film. I would highly recommend Dory Diaz Photography for any event. Thanks again Dory and Jess!

ou can tell she loves what she does. Both of our parents commented on how lovely she was to work with - so easygoing and very obviously talented. The icing on the cake is how she always posts "sneak peeks" from her sessions... we were able to view a handful of our photos within 24 hours of our wedding! Her second shooter, Jess, was equally as fun, easygoing, and talented... they work so well together. What a wonderful pair of ladies! Thank you both so much for making our big day a blast and for doing whatever it took to capture those big moments!

the fine detail shots nothing escaped notice. She blended seamlessly into our wedding party and kept us genuinely smiling throughout our big day . Dory came recommended to me by another bride and I’m so glad my husband and I chose her as our photographer !

felt we needed to discuss my questions in detail. She was very well organized (sent us a wedding day questionnaire a few months prior to fill out and also contacted all of our vendors). I also never felt like I was bothering Dory with all of my crazy wedding questions. Dory and Jess showed up on our wedding day with energy, a smile on their faces and helped to calm my nerves. They went right to work and also helped our wedding party keep to our timeline. Tom (Groom)- said that Jess made the getting ready photos relaxing and fun for the guys, which was hard because he was not thrilled about this idea! Jess found a way to make it interested for them and I heard they had some good laughs. First look- Tom & I had the idea of walking out on a cliff to take our photos. It rained the entire morning and didn’t stop until about one hour prior to our first look. I looked over during our first look and saw Dory kneeling down in the mud at one point; this is dedication! Sneak peek- within a few days of our wedding we were able to view a sneak peek of our wedding. This was a blast to see! We highly recommend Dory-Diaz Photography to any couple looking for a great photographer for their wedding day. Dory is very easy to work with, has competitive rates and great ideas for shots.

What a wonderful blessing to have those memory’s to look back on!

e area before our shoot to make everything run smoothly! We immediately felt at ease with Dory and Jess and we had such a fun afternoon! Dory was able to capture every moment perfectly and our final images turned out so beautiful; we are absolutely in love with every single photo! Dory will not be photographing our wedding, but ONLY because we are going to NYC to get married. If our wedding were here in Maine, then Dory would definitely be the one who we would want and trust to capture our special day!

need. Her communication and diplomacy (hey, all weddings need it) are top notch!

g day! She and Jess work so great together..( almost like they read each others minds) they got our very large family's together in seconds to take pics and they are beautiful, definitely framers! After working with these talented girls it's not soon enough till I can work with them again!

s there at the right time capturing just the right shot! They never commanded the space or intruded on a special moment in order to get "that shot", yet they always got it with a loving touch, and such compassion. The photos I have seen so far from Dory & Jess have brought tears to my eyes, joy to my heart and now I know I will have these precious photos to always remember one of my most valued days, times in my life. I just can't say enough about the wonderful experience it was to have Dory Diaz Photographers as part of our very special day. Thank you, a million thank you's!! I might add, looking through other wedding and special events that Dory has done are spectacular to say the least. So heartfelt are her photos, capturing so much in the moment. She and Jess really have an eye.

n is excellent and her warm personality is beyond infectious, all this makes for an extremely comfortable experience as we found out when she did our engagement shoot.

came out great! We totally recommend them to anyone and everyone!

hard to decide on the choices for an album. Her pricing is very competitive.

d her shots were so artistically done. I will be recommending her to all of my friends. Beautifully done!

get to know my husband and I and our style. Dory drove over 2 hours to photograph our engagement sessions as well as another two hours to do a site visit at our venue. Before the wedding day she contacted all of my other venders to introduce herself. The day of she was early with her second shooter, Jess, who was also a blast and awesome! For 9 hours they worked extremely hard getting the perfect lighting, blocking the sun and chasing family members down. My pictures came out beautiful. She captured our day perfectly. I can not thank her enough!! xoxo Lexy Johnson

ard she and her second shooter were working and how much fun they were having with the guests and the wedding party. The images came out AMAZING and she was laughing and smiling the whole time (which can be hard at a stressful event like a wedding...especially when the weather gets crazy!!) She was so much fun to work with, was SO responsive during the planning process and replied to my texts right away! I cannot cannot cannot give her the praise she deserves. A+ in every aspect. Thank you, Dory!!!

nd Jess made us feel very comfortable and made the day so fun and lighthearted. There was no room for stress with their positive energy and expertise there to guide us. And speaking of positive energy...Dory is just a ball of it! No one can be in a bad mood when Dory is around, and a lot of our guests have commented about how she's so much fun, energetic, and great at her job. After the wedding, we loved the sneak peaks she provided before getting our final package. All of the pictures that Dory and Jess took came out fantastically, and far exceeded any expectations we had about how good our wedding pictures could have been. We would recommend Dory in a heartbeat to anyone who is looking for a photographer!

r use of lighting was epically beautiful. I couldn't have been happier! I cannot think of anyone else I would have at the photography helm, who has the exceptional artistic eye, and great personality other than Dory. Dory Diaz Photography is the whole package.

ose Dory again and again. She made everyone feel super comfortable and has such a natural ability in making everyone feel good. Besides her amazing energy she is extremely talented. We are obsessed with our photos and couldn't imagine them coming out any better. She captured so many subtle moments that are truly the BeSt moments. We were shocked that such a grey, raining, foggy, May Day in Maine could be so perfect. Thank you Dory!!!!!!

few seconds but where our true personalities shined through because we forgot anyone was watching. Dory makes you feel comfortable even if you've never met! She will put you at ease on your wedding day. You will not be disappointed in Dory!

our efficient didn’t show up she kept everyone positive and provided much needed emotional support at that moment. It all worked out at the end and we were married. We love our pictures! And we highly recommend her as a wedding photographer.

bubbly personality had me forgetting she was there to photograph me half the time. And I couldn't be happier with the finished pictures. She managed to catch some really great candids of us throughout the day and of our friends and family, too! And I don't look stiff or awkward in any of them, which was totally my worst fear going into this process. I feel beautiful looking at the pictures she took. I would definitely recommend her!

e pictures she took. The hard part was choosing which ones to put in the album! I'd recommend anyone to use her services in a heartbeat!

mpt, and her enthusiasm is contagious. We love our photos. My husband and I highly recommend Dory Diaz photography.
