If I could click all of the above of what I liked about Dionna I would! She is absolutely fantastic! First, our groomsmen showed up without a clue on how to put on their boutonnieres and Dionna had the tools and knowledge to help them all out. And even though there were a few times when our party was running a bit behind, she was super friendly and at the same time professional in getting all of our shots in. She also had specific instructions on who to add to the pictures and how to pose which took all of the pressure from our party to make up poses. Also, Dionna was the one to figure out how to tie up my bustle since no one in my wedding party knew how to do it. She gave us a sample of the photos she took the day after our wedding and they look so beautiful and I am so excited to see the rest. If I could give her 100 stars I would, but I guess I'll stick to 5 stars and recommending her to everyone I meet :)
The photos our wedding are absolutely beautiful. Dionna was very professional and left our guest with a vantastic impression. Dionna is able to be assertive when needed to keep the days photos moving as well as blend in to get true to life photos. Dionna use time well showing up early to get photos of decorations along with the rings.

Dionna was very kind and easy to work with, her knowledge of the area was second to none and she was instrumental in the success of my engagementphotos. I came in not knowing where i wanted to propose to my fiancee and she immediately had several high caliber suggestions which we did end up taking her up on and it was amazing. If your thinking of going with a different photographer i would say you are making a mistake in not choosing dionna and that you need to reconsider. Overall 100/10 and would reccomend to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional, expert in her field.

Dionna was the first vendor I booked for our June wedding and I am so thankful we chose her! She has such a genuine presence and at moments, was almost invisible which made capturing candid shots of the reception possible. She made it feel like a friend was just hanging out and taking a few pics which helped with our nerves! If you plan to have kids at your wedding, choose Dionna because she was so patient and kind and made our flower girls feel like princesses for a day. The sneak peek shots we received are absolutely breathtaking and I cannot wait to see all the pictures she took.

Dionna and her team were the BEST photographers we could ask for to capture our special weekend. She is extremely well-organized as evidenced by her website, clear communication via emails, and regular meetings throughout wedding planning to make sure we were on the same page. We had a multicultural wedding involving South Asian and Iranian themes and Dionna and her team were incredibly knowledgeable about the different events, respectful with religiously and culturally sensitive aspects, and very flexible with our needs and desires. They were punctual and even more so went above and beyond to stay longer at one of our events that ran later than expected. Dionna also knows all the right poses and her team scouts each location for the best angles and photographs. We were thoroughly impressed and we were so happy to have chosen a true professional like her for our special days.
