HOLA, I’M DIEGO!

Colombian by birth. Perth by choice. Global by curiosity.

And yes, Japanese by appetite — my last meal would definitely include ramen, soba, sashimi, and takoyaki. But enough about me (for now) — let’s talk about YOU two.

I’m genuinely stoked you’ve 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 it’ll 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.

Let’s keep things real.

Always in sync with your energy and vision, these are a few of the love stories I’ve been trusted to document.

You don’t 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.

Nothing posed. Nothing staged. Just photos that feel like you — with a twist of creativity that takes them from “aww, look at us” to “omg it’s us!”.

You’ll fall in love all over again with each other… and maybe a little (a lot) with yourself too.

Yep, that’s the unapologetic energy we’re going for.

You’ve seen what my couples have to say, but don’t just take their word for it. Here’s what other vendors and industry pros have noticed too — real talk from those who’ve seen me in action.

legit feedback

Rebecca Const, Fox & Rabbit

"Diego is an exceptional photographer and an absolute pleasure to collaborate with.

He brings such a fun energy and enthusiastic attitude to every shoot, which makes the whole process genuinely enjoyable. He is incredibly creative and always looking to bring something new to the table rather than repeating the same ideas. His experimentation with light is especially clever and consistently elevates the final result.

Diego is a great communicator and always gets back to me quickly. He is punctual, reliable and brings a real team mindset to his work, always helpful and solution-focused on set. His turnaround time on edits is lightning fast, without ever compromising on quality. The standard of his work is outstanding and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, professional and creatively driven photographer"

Suzi, Cakes by Suzi

“Diego 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!!”

Kirsten, Hair Stylist

“I 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 can’t wait to see the photos - I already know they will be amazing!”

FOUR FACTS FROM YOUR FAVOURITE FOUR EYES

Moving to Australia

Originally from Colombia, I moved to Perth in 2018, craving a big change — to learn English, travel, and see where life would take me. The plan was for six months.

Clearly, that didn’t happen… because I met my now-wife, Mitsuna, at English school.

Yes, she’s Japanese — and yes, that’s why I’m 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.

I’m definitely a winter person — 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 — predictable, I know, but good coffee (and wine) is an art.

Music keeps me going – from heavy metal to rock, reggae to ska, indie to anything with a good rhythm… if it vibes, I’m in!

I’m 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, we’re close beyond measure.

Where to next?

Japan will always have my heart, but I’m itching to explore more of the world — anywhere with mountains, rivers, or rich cultural experiences.

Next stops on the bucket list: Switzerland, Iceland, Italy, Spain… basically, anywhere Europe calls.

BEFORE YOU GO

You’ve read the kind words from my couples and industry peers — now, let’s get even more personal, shall we? I asked three people who know me best to describe me in 10 words:

My wife, Mitsuna

“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.

LIFE’S TOO SHORT FOR BORING PHOTOS OR BAD COFFEE.

I want to capture the messy, the real, the in-between moments — while laughing, dancing, and having a rad time with YOU! So, are we ready or what?!
