About
Dia Kim
I bring a disciplined artistic training to every story.
My background includes formal film studies in Asia, where light, movement, and emotion were taught as a language.
Later, I pursued design at California College of the Arts, grounding my creative instincts in structure, intention, and clarity.
These experiences provided a lasting foundation in storytelling and aesthetics.
This career was shaped not by chance, but by years of formal study and creative practice, where narrative and intention were never optional.
Today, I photograph love not as something posed or polished, but as something lived, capturing a quiet attentiveness to what is real.
I don’t try to make your wedding look like a movie.
I believe it already is one
Your story doesn’t need to be staged. It needs to be seen, understood, and told with intention.
With a trained eye, I translate your story into images thoughtfully and deliberately. I pay close attention to the emotional rhythm of the day, capturing moments as they naturally unfold.
Working in natural light and a soft, documentary style, I shape what happens into a cohesive visual narrative that feels honest, immersive, and timeless—often even more beautiful than you imagined.
I see weddings a little differently.
Growing up in a close-knit family in Asia, and now living far from my roots, I’m drawn to the threads that hold people together across time and distance.
On a wedding day, what I hold onto through the lens is not just your love story, but the bonds that shape it—the relationships and connections that brought you here.
You’ll see it in my work: a father’s quiet hand, a grandmother’s steady gaze, the breath before a vow.
These are the photographs you’ll return to, year after year.
Behind every great wedding is a team that truly understands how to work together.
With my second photographer working in sync, we capture both the moments you experience and the subtle details unfolding quietly around you.
We bring a richer, layered perspective: one of us focuses on you while the other captures the mirrored reactions of your guests, the shared laughter, and all the fleeting, meaningful moments. Nothing important is ever missed.
Love needs no direction. Only to be lived.
