BIG GLASSES.
EVEN BIGGER LOVE + ENERGY.
Your Hype Man + Photographer from Perth, Australia
And yes, Japanese by appetite ā my last meal would definitely include ramen, soba, sashimi, and takoyaki. But enough about me (for now) ā letās talk about YOU two.
Iām genuinely stoked youāve found your way here. This is exactly why I left corporate architecture and interior design: to channel my creativity into celebrating bloody good moments with damn good humans.
From the first hello, I promise itāll be easy, relaxed, and exciting. No pressure. No awkward salesy bullshit. Just a genuine conversation to kick off our friendship. Effortless. Exactly how it should be.
HOLA! IāM DIEGO
Colombian by birth. Perth by choice. Global by curiosity.
Hereās the truth: this is more than photography. Itās about you feeling seen, supported, and 100% yourselves ā not just on your day, but through every step of the journey.
You donāt want some random rocking up and camera-bombing your life. You want someone an empath who already feels like a friend, who reads the room, matches your energy, and captures your magnetic connection as it happens.
Just photos that feel like you ā with a twist of creativity that takes them from āaww, look at usā to āOMG, ITāS US šā¤ļøāš„ā.
Youāll fall in love all over again with each otherā¦ and maybe a little (a lot) with yourself too.
Yep, thatās the unapologetic energy weāre going for.
Diego xx
āI was the bridal hairstylist for a wedding that Diego was photographing, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.
He has a warm and lovely nature and is extremely professional. He made everyone feel at ease, and I canāt wait to see the photos - I already know they will be amazing!ā
Kirsten Smith | Perth Hairstylist
āDiego has an incredible eye for beautiful, creative shots. I absolutely love his photography style and dedication to keeping each and every shoot unique to his couples.
As someone who has worked alongside him and witnessed so many photographers at work, Diego is someone I would always recommend to couples. His work ethic and final photos are always outstanding!!ā

FOUR FACTS FROM YOUR FAVOURITE FOUR EYES
Moving to Australia
Originally from Colombia, I moved to Perth in 2018, craving a big change ā to learn English, travel, and see where life would take me.
The plan was for six months. Clearly, that didnāt happenā¦ because I met my now-wife, Mitsuna, at English school.
Yes, sheās Japanese ā and yes, thatās why Iām obsessed with ramen, sashimi, and every Japanese dish in between.
Shiny winter mornings = peak happiness
Nothing makes me happier than waking up to gentle sun rays spilling through the window on a crisp morning.
Iām definitely a winter person ā cold mornings, cosy layers, and warm food feed my soul.
Soft spots + weaknesses
Coffee and a good glass of red wine are my love languages ā predictable, I know, but good coffee (and wine) is an art.
Music keeps me going ā and donāt even try to make me pick favourites, LOL. From heavy metal to rock, reggae to ska, indie to anything with a good rhythmā¦ if it vibes, Iām in!
Iām always looking for something fresh to fuel those long nights in my editing cave, so please send me your favourite playlists anytime!
My family is my life motor; though separated by a 35-hour flight, weāre close beyond measure.
Where to next?
Japan will always have my heart, but Iām itching to explore more of the world ā anywhere with mountains, rivers, or rich cultural experiences.
Next stops on the bucket list: Switzerland, Iceland, Italy, Spainā¦ basically, anywhere Europe calls.
BEFORE YOU GOā¦
My wife, Mitsuna
Youāve read the kind words from my couples and industry peers ā now, letās get even more personal, shall we?
I asked three people who know me best to describe me in 10 words (orā¦ close enough):
(clearly ignoring the 10-word limit): Fun, confident, likes making people laugh, creative, caring, detailed for work, adventurous (not scared of new things or experiences), social, open, and passionate!!!
My brother, Felipe
(very literal): Kind, Honest, Creative, Entrepreneurial, Responsible, Cheerful, Intelligent, Generous, Brave, Optimistic.
My best friend, Andres:
Sensitive, Persevering, Focused, Dreamy.
