I started talking to Angie in 2019 to book her for my wedding but due to Covid we could not have her. When we heard she was in New York this summer, I contacted her immediately fo...
r a Anniversary/Family shoot at the beach on Long Island. Her personality and flexibility makes her the best photographer I had in years! Needless to say the pictures came out amazing and can’t decide which one to put con Canvas because they are all truly stunning. I wish she could live in New York so I can contact her for all my future events. She did tell me she’s a plane away and look forward to work with her again.
Angie is amazing! Working with her was so much fun. She brings the best energy to whatever space she’s in. She’s so bright and bubbly that’s it’s nearly impossible to be stressed o...
n your wedding day! Her pictures and videos are INCREDIBLE. So bright and beautiful. Do not miss out on working with this talented gal!!
If you are looking for wedding photography that is full of light, romance and dreamy picturesque imagery, I highly recommend Angie Diaz Photography. We knew that we wanted to do a ...
destination wedding, but fell more in love with the idea after looking at Angie's Ironwoods photos. We fell in love with the dramatic background of Ironswood Beach, as well as the intimacy and romance that comes with an elopement. Angie has such a creative eye and perfectly captures the most romantic, intimate, and adventurous aspects of your wedding day. She has a compelling personality, and makes you feel super comfortable. You feel like you are taking pictures with your best friend! Shes very professional and a total boss! Our family and friends back home could not get over how stunning our pictures were!! We love Angie and we are in love with our wedding photos. We will cherish them always.
Angie is seriously such a joy to work with! You literally feel like you’ve met your best friend as she is so kind and fun but really wants to get to know you and every detail to ma...
ke your day truly special. She is so very talented and really took her time to get all the shots we wanted. We could not of been happier with our wedding photos and the memories we have that will now last a lifetime. Thank you, Angie!!
Thank you Angie!! Our original wedding date with Angie shifted due to some unforeseen circumstances, she kindly honored the payment and held the date for the following year. We wal...
ked through lush green forests, took pictures cliffside, and took her advice and adventured to a number of serene Maui hideaways. Our pictures are perfect and she was so fun to work with. What a joy her personality is.
Angie is a remarkable photographer and we are so thankful to have found her with the help of our wedding coordinator, Maui's Angels. She captured our wedding day on Ironwoods beac...
h on Oct 6th and the photos came out as if she captured a fairy tale. Simply beautiful. Thank you Angie for helping us make wonderful memories! Muchas gracias! Chimpum Callao! :)
Angie Diaz is an incredibly professional and talented photographer! Pick her! She's the best. Her pictures are absolutely fine and capture all of your precious moments that pass by...
so fast, but she will make them last. Besides her very good feeling for timing, framing, lights, colors and editing, she simply makes you smile! At first you will smile when you meet this terrific person that is so full of life and so much fun to work with. Second you will smile when she keeps you naturally in front of her lens. Third you will smile when you see the beauty in your wedding pictures she took and anytime you'll be remembering your wedding day you'll be smiling thinking of those amazing photographs... Angie, I'm so glad you were part of our wedding. Thank you for giving us so very lovely memories!
I have a lot of friends who had a lot of good things to say about their photographers but I literally want to be Angie's best friend! I wish I could just hire her to follow me arou...
nd and take our pictures of my life and keep me entertained! Anyone reading this has most likely seen her pictures and already knows that every one of her pictures is exquisite and magazine worthy. What you need to know beyond the fact that you will absolutely 100% love your pictures is that Angie herself is so fun to be around! She's hilarious and disarming which helped my husband relax and actually enjoy himself, she's energetic and acts like a dream wedding guest! The friends of ours that actually made it out to Maui for our destination wedding are already asking for her information for their upcoming weddings (some are not even engaged yet!). I could go on all day about this amazing and talented woman, if your thinking of hiring Angie and like me pictures are the most important part of you day besides actually getting married then look no further!
Where do I begin? Like every bride to be, I started doing research right after getting engaged and started following every wedding related account on Instagram. I stumbled across a...
n image that was so breathtaking, I couldn't stop thinking about it. If you're reading this review, I'm sure you've seen variations of it. After seeing the cliff shot, I knew we had to book Angie as our photographer. She was the reason we decided to elope in Maui. In a leap of faith, we booked Angie a year and half in advance and started planning an elaborate wedding for two without ever having been to Maui or meeting any of our vendors in person until the week of our wedding.
Angie was a dream to work with. We had two days with Angie and she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed the entire time! The energy she exudes makes the shoot fun...you forget that you're even taking pictures and can just enjoy being happy and in the moment. My husband even commented on how much he liked Angie and that she was the right decision.
We've seen a few sneak peeks, and am so happy with Angie's work. Angie captured beautiful memories and we will forever have these magical moments to remember and look at.
If you're looking for a photographer, don't hesitate! Angie was the best decision we could've ever made.
Angie is a bundle of energy and at the same time has a calming effect that allows you to have fun with your photos. She's fantastic with adults and children. I will forever treasu...
re our photographs with the intimate details and vivid colors.
You want Angie to capture your big day, trust me!
So personable, she just wants your day to be about you and for you to shine!
Completely organic, no stuffiness and lots of laugh...
ter.
Let her take control, trust her, be in the moment and you won't regret it.
Angie was amazing!! She captured our wedding day absolutely perfectly!! We are thrilled with our pictures and would HIGHLY recommend her!! Thanks Angie, you are the best!!:)
I wish I could properly express mine and my husband's happiness and gratitude that we have for Angie and for her photographs, but I don't know if I can do it justice.
Each photo...
graph is so extremely unique and beautiful, and they truly brought us back to our wedding week in Hawaii and reminded us of our happiness all over again. Angie is such a gifted artist and we feel so lucky that we had the opportunity to work with her, as not only is she a consummate professional, but she is an extremely kind and beautiful person as well! She made that whole day such a great experience -- we will never forget it. And now, we have these beyond beautiful images and pieces of work to commemorate our special day.
If we know anyone that will be getting married in Hawaii, Angie will be the first person we will recommend to them. I can say without a doubt that any bride/groom will NOT be disappointed with Angie and her work.
Thank you so much Angie!
I remember looking for weeks and even months at hundreds of pictures in internet, searching for my wedding photographer and suddenly I found the most beautiful ones taken by Angie....
She was my favorite! I contacted her and what a surprise to know that she was born in Peru... same as me! She sent me a very long Email with all kind of suggestions and ideas and it was for me clear that she would be our photographer on such a special occasion. We kept sending Emails for months and she was always so kind to answer all my questions very quick and give me good advice about everything.
During the ceremony she was there…but somehow invisible …like a butterfly flying around us but without interrupting the ceremony. After the ceremony we had our photo session in different places; some of them very romantic others very fun and she made us feel very comfortable. I even remember her climbing a Palm tree in order to capture the best angle for the picture!
I have seen a couple of our photos and I couldn´t be happier! She is a real artist! They are amazing! I can´t wait to see the other ones!
I would highly recommend her to anyone! She is the Mario Testino of Hawaii!
Gracias Angie!
There are not enough positive words I can say about Angie. The moment I stumbled on her website and saw the beautiful and artistically unique way she captures some of life's most i...
mportant moments, I knew I had to have her as my photographer no matter what! I called her about 9 months before my wedding date and in those 9 months I got to know Angie and she got to know me. She was very communicative and really took the time and effort to get to know my personality and style so it was shown through in my photos. We sent "pins" on Pinterest back and forth, and in my mind she truly went above and beyond my expectations even before the wedding.
I had shown Angie a Picture of a bouquet and said I was wanting to recreate it on my own. Knowing I was making the bridesmaids bouquet as well, she offered to make my bouquet! Come the day of the wedding I was so excited to work with her. She flew from Maui to Kauai with my bouquet which she had special ordered flowers for and recreated with the greatest of detail. When Angie arrived I gave her the biggest hug and shed tears of joy when I saw my bouquet for the first time.
Unfortunately, being on the rainy island of Kauai the moment she arrived the sky opened up. This gave me some anxiety since the ceremony was being held on the beach with no cover. Angie did her job so well for the photos inside with my bridesmaids I had totally forgotten about the weather. When it came time for the ceremony it was still a terrible down pour, but even with all the rain we managed, umbrellas and all. Somehow with the random hotel umbrellas we had to borrow she still made the photos look amazing! Angie herself was soaked but still worked just as hard if not harder to get the perfect shots.
I am in love with my rainy wedding photos. Finally, some of my favorite shots were at our reception dinner. She was there for the toasts and captured the beautiful emotion of the speeches. When I look at those pictures I really feel like I am reliving those moments even with nothing to be heard. I know documentary style photography can be difficult but she wowed me. My reception photos are some of the best I've seen. I would recommend Angie to ANYONE and hope to go back to the islands and work with her again someday.
Angie's work is really what we want! The color is so fabulous. The service Angie offered was sweet. I love it all!
Coming across Angie's website/blog when planning my Maui destination wedding was a true blessing. I knew right away from looking at her work that I wanted her to capture my wedding...
day on camera. I cannot express how happy I was with this choice. Angie's outgoing, fun-loving personality made it very easy to feel comfortable throughout both our engagement and wedding photography sessions. She also is very knowledgeable about how and where we should pose in order to get the best shot. I also loved her adventurousness....made for some very stunning photos. I honestly can say that I am more than happy with the photo's that Angie took of my husband and I. I'm so grateful that we have such beautiful photos to look back on as we age together. And I will definitely be returning to Angie for family photo's when that time comes. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! :)
Angie is an amazing person and a good photographer.
She was funny, warm and kind. She made us laugh and that helped us relax on our big day.
It was a very special day for us...
and she definitely helped made it so even more.
She managed to capture a couple of amazing shots which we loved and got countless compliments from our friends.
I had an instant connection with her and i believe we will stay in touch for years to come.
I wish her only the best
love

We added a last-minute vows renewal to our itinerary. Hubby & I thought we'll just ask the minister to take our photo with my iphone afterwards (it was the 2 of us, plus 2 kids). ...
We totally weren't planning to have a "wedding quality" photo session but the minister urged us to get a photographer. I emailed several photographers in Maui and Angie agreed to our budget. The quality of our photos were excellent, truly memorable. The turnaround time was slow, though, around 10-15 business days. But I guess that's a reasonable wait time for wedding portfolios that are works of art.
Angie really is a professional who knows how to get the best of us. We were so nervous about the big day, the guests, etc., but she managed to make us feel comfortable and just foc...
us on ourselves and our love, and what was about to happen. We had a wonderful time during the photo-shoot, and the result was a amazing! We are glad to got to book her because we love her fresh style. I will definitely recommend
her without hesitation, she is so easy-going, has unique ideas, she is truly an artist. Thank you so much Angie! We will cherish our wedding pictures forever.
Angie was an absolutely wonderful photographer for our wedding. Going into the planning process I was nervous to find a photographer who would make me feel comfortable and capture ...
beautiful, natural shots, and Angie did just that. She is so much fun to work with, and her passion for her career really shines through her photographs. Angie was well organized and managed to get all of the shots we were wanting (which was not an easy feat with two large families to photograph)! If you're looking for unique, artistic, beautiful, and natural photos, then you have found the right gal. She's truly a joy to work with!
My fiance and I were so fortunate to be able to book the inspiring Angie Diaz! After reaching out to several photographers to capture our engagement shoot in Kauai, Angie totally s...
tole the show! She was the only photographer to truly show excitement and her creativity was what closed the deal! We ended up having our photoshoot in Polihale and Angie made us feel comfortable IMMEDIATELY! She was always prompt, polite, and organized and the best part was her pictures were INCREDIBLE!!
Angie is truly an amazing photographer! Her work speaks for itself, but besides that, she is an incredibly easy person to work with. She has a sense of humor, knows how to put her ...
clients at ease and has a very sweet nature. I chose her to photograph my wedding because I loved the style of her photography; it is a lot more artistic than a lot of wedding photography out there. She uses vivid colors, and even if she photographs you in an ordinary place, she will somehow make it look enchanting. Her prices are also very reasonable. I recommend Angie if you are looking for a photographer who is both approachable and highly skilled.
We did an engagement session with Angie last week in Maui, and it was an amazing experience! Not only did Angie put us in a very relaxed and romantic mood, she also showed us some ...
secret location off the beach and got some really cool shots. She went an extra mile to make sure that we had our special moments. Its only later that I found out that we actually exceeded the time we were contracted for---but she didn't rush us to get out at all. She has very artistic eyes and can capture the most special moments of your special days! Totally recommend!
Angie is such an amazing artist. My husband and I have a very special "how we met" story, and Angie went the extra mile to capture it for us in our engagement session. The pictur...
es are works of art and we will treasure them forever.
The wedding day was such a blur for us, and having these pictures is so special. I can't stop looking at them.
Something about Angie's style is so unique and beautiful. She has a real eye for the colors in the environment around her subjects and she knows how to make every important detail pop.
I recommend her so very highly. She will capture any event you want in the most beautiful ways. I just loved working with her. Thank you, Angie!
Not only is Angie incredibly professional, but she made our day so fun! She has such a unique style, which is what I love. We couldn't have chosen a better photographer. She was ...
wonderful to work with from our first contact to our special day. I look forward to having her photograph us again in the near future, and I would recommend her to anyone. :)
After looking high and low for photographer I finally found Angie. Her work is amazing! She has the ablity to capture unforgettable moments in the best light. Personally, I'm very ...
shy. I refrain from posting daily selfies on instagram. I was worried that I wasn't going to be able to produce the perfect engagement shots. Luckily, Angie helped me in posing to get the shots that she knew I would love. My fiance, my dog, and I were able to really enjoy this experience. Overall I was very pleased. Without hesitation I let her know that I wanted her back for the wedding day.
