1. Why should I hire you as my wedding photographer?
I’m Diana Zuleta, a passionate and experienced photographer with over 12 years of experience capturing unique and emotional moments. My approach is much more than just taking photos; it’s about telling your story, your love story, through images that not only can be seen but felt.
My background in advertising has given me a deep understanding of visual communication, allowing me to appreciate how light, composition, and details convey the emotions that define your special day. I love capturing those spontaneous and genuine moments: smiles from the heart, sincere hugs, tears of joy. For me, each moment is a visual story that says more than words ever could.
My style is documentary, artistic, and at the same time, fun and creative. I like my photos to be more than just memories—they are visual experiences that transport you to the moment they were taken. My ability to interpret emotions, glances, and gestures, and my eye for the details that others might overlook, allow me to create images that authentically and uniquely tell the story of your day.
Additionally, as part of my service, I offer exclusive social media content that you can share instantly with your friends and family. These photos and videos will perfectly capture the essence of each moment and show in real time how your celebration is progressing. This way, you can relive the most exciting moments of your wedding while the party continues, without having to wait for the final images. It’s a perfect way to keep everyone connected with your big day!
My work isn’t just about following a traditional wedding script. I bring a creative proposal with innovative angles and unexpected settings, creating striking photos with a unique aesthetic. I love playing with the spaces and dynamics of each wedding to produce amazing images that break away from the conventional, without losing the essence of the moment.
As a person, I’m laid-back and approachable. I strive to create an environment where you feel comfortable and can truly be yourselves. My goal is for you to enjoy your day without worrying about the photos, while I capture every detail and emotion.
I’m not just a photographer; I’m a visual storyteller aiming to immortalize one of the most important stories of your life. If you want photos that speak, that convey the emotions of your wedding, and that make you relive those moments forever, I’m the photographer for you.
Let’s talk and start creating unforgettable memories!
2. What makes your photographic style unique?
My photographic style is a fusion of documentary, artistic, and emotional photography, which allows me to capture the most genuine and authentic essence of your wedding. My main focus is natural photography, where I concentrate on documenting 90% of your day exactly as it happens, without intervening in spontaneous moments, but always caring for your image. I believe true emotions, sincere smiles, and authentic gestures are what really tell the story of your celebration.
The remaining 10% is dedicated to creating unique and artistic portraits, with interesting and original compositions that reflect the style and personality of the couple. These portraits are a mix of creativity and elegance, while never losing the essence of the moment. I also love incorporating some of the current photographic trends, but always adapted to the atmosphere and style of your wedding.
Every couple is different, and the personality of the couple plays a crucial role in how I capture their story. Some weddings have a more boho and spontaneous vibe, while others lean toward being more elegant and serious. My job is to read that unique energy of the couple and reflect it in the photos. I won’t force a more relaxed couple to pose rigidly, nor will I push serious couples to show excessive joy. My goal is for you to feel natural and comfortable, without pressure.
The key elements in my work are light, composition, color, and details. These ingredients allow me to create images full of depth and emotion. Each photo is designed to tell a unique, personalized story that is true to the essence of your wedding. I want that when you look at the photos, you relive every feeling, every glance, every hug. These are memories that last, not only in the image but in the family story that begins.
3. How do you ensure you capture all the important moments of our wedding?
I’m very detail-oriented and work with a planned approach to make sure I don’t miss any essential moment, while still being unobtrusive. Before the wedding, we meet virtually or in person (depending on your available time) to discuss your expectations, key people and moments, and any special details you’d like captured. On the day of the wedding, I make sure to be in the right place at the right time. My 12 years of wedding experience allow me to anticipate events without interfering with the natural flow of the day.
4. What do your previous clients think of your work?
My previous clients always highlight my dedication, my ability to make them feel comfortable in front of the camera, and the quality of my photos. Many mention how I was able to capture spontaneous and authentic moments that reflected the true essence of their day. I love that my couples feel they’re not just hiring a photographer, but someone who becomes part of their celebration. You can read their real testimonials on Google reviews here on this website.
5. What added value do you offer clients that they won’t find in other photographer
Beyond my experience and professionalism, what really sets me apart is my attention to detail and my approach as an author photographer. Being an author photographer means that I’m the one who will always be behind the camera, not a team of photographers with different styles. From the first contact to the final delivery, I’ll be by your side every step of the way, ensuring that everything reflects your essence and the essence of your wedding. With me, you’ll not only have an exclusive photographer, but also a creator who personalizes every moment and understands what makes your story unique. Unlike companies with several photographers, where you can’t be sure who they’ll send on your wedding day—the good photographer, the average one, or the bad one— with me, you have the guarantee that the photographer you chose is the same one capturing every one of those special moments. This level of commitment and continuity ensures that each image, from the most spontaneous to the most carefully composed, shares the same vision, quality, and passion, and that all the photos speak with one voice: mine.
As a woman and photographer, my sensitivity and attention to detail go beyond the technical aspects. I have the ability to read emotions, glances, and the smallest gestures that sometimes go unnoticed. I also make sure the makeup, hairstyle, and outfit are perfect for the photos, as well as adjusting posture, chin, or arms—things that many women worry about. My feminine perspective allows me to connect deeply with the couple, creating a relaxed atmosphere for them to feel comfortable in front of the camera.
I enjoy creating content for social media, so you’ll find photos and videos of your wedding in real time, and the next day, a reel summarizing the day that you can share with family and friends.
6. How do you ensure the photo session is fun and not stressful?
My main goal is for you to enjoy your day without worrying about the photos. To achieve this, I strive to create a relaxed and fun atmosphere. During the photo sessions, I try to be discreet, capturing natural moments and guiding the sessions when necessary. The key is to stay calm and enjoy the moment—and that’s exactly what I want you to experience!
7. How far in advance should I book for my wedding?
It’s recommended to book at least 6 to 8 months in advance, especially if your wedding is during peak season. This ensures availability and enough time to plan all the details of your photographic coverage. However, if your wedding is coming up soon, ask me—I might still have availability.
8. What services are included in your photography packages?
It depends on the plan you choose (you can see the details at the end), but generally, they include complete wedding coverage, with 10 hours of coverage, which is more than enough for a wedding from the preparations to the end of the party. I also include all edited photos delivered in high resolution for printing, and the same photos in low resolution for social media and devices. Online gallery for one year, social media content, a linen box with 100 printed photos, and a USB. You can add a photo album, pre-wedding photos, additional hours, etc., to any plan.
9. How many photos will I receive after the wedding?
In the full plan, I deliver all the photos. The exact number depends on the length of the coverage and the number of moments you plan to capture, but generally, I deliver between 900 and 1,200 edited and retouched images. This includes photos of key moments as well as details, candid shots, and family photos.
10. What kind of equipment do you use for the photos
I work with professional cameras: Sony, the latest generation, known for its exceptional image quality and performance in low-light conditions. I always bring a backup camera in case of any unforeseen issues, along with a variety of lenses to adapt to any situation and guarantee the best possible quality in every shot, whether it’s a close-up portrait or a wide group shot.
I also use flash lighting equipment to ensure that, no matter the lighting conditions, every moment is captured with maximum clarity and detail. My goal is for the photos not only to look beautiful but to convey the emotion and atmosphere of your wedding as you experienced it, no matter what technical challenges arise.
11. Can I choose the photos I want in my album?
Of course! I will give you access to an online gallery where you can view all the photos and select the ones you’d like to include in your album. I can also offer suggestions if you need help with the selection.
12. Do you offer pre-wedding or engagement sessions?
Yes, I offer pre-wedding or engagement sessions. It’s a great opportunity for us to get to know each other better and practice in front of the camera before the big day. These sessions also allow us to capture special moments in a more relaxed environment.
13. What happens if the weather is not ideal on my wedding day?
Don’t worry! I have experience working in all kinds of weather conditions. If necessary, we can adjust the photo session to take advantage of indoor spaces or find alternatives that suit the conditions of the day.
14. Do you have a second photographer?
I recommend having a second photographer in two cases:
- If your wedding has more than 150 guests, it’s necessary to ensure proper coverage.
- If the groom also wants preparation photos but isn’t in the same location as the bride during preparations (for example, different rooms in the same hotel or venue), I can go to both locations at different times. If the locations are far apart, a second photographer is essential. In the Full plan, I include a second photographer, which allows me to capture more moments from different angles and ensures no detail is missed.
15. Do you offer video services?
I do not provide video services; I specialize in photography, which allows me to focus completely on capturing the most special moments of the day. However, if you need a videographer, I’d be happy to recommend some trusted collaborators who do excellent work. I have partnerships with some of them, just ask me!
16. How long after the wedding will I receive my photos?
The delivery of your final photos usually takes between 2 to 4 weeks. This allows me to dedicate enough time to the editing process and ensure each image is perfect. I will send you a preview with some selected photos within the first few days after the wedding.
17. Do you have experience working in different types of weddings or locations in Medellín?
Yes! I have had the privilege of photographing weddings in a variety of locations in Medellín, from beautiful farms on the outskirts of the city to events in urban and modern spaces. Each wedding has its own charm, and as an experienced photographer, I know how to adapt to different environments, ensuring that every detail is captured in the best way possible.
18. How many hours of coverage do you need for a wedding in Medellín?
The duration of coverage depends on the type of wedding and your priorities. I offer flexible options, from full coverage (including preparations, ceremony, reception, and party) to shorter options if you prefer a more specific approach. For weddings in Medellín, I typically recommend 8 to 10 hours of coverage to make sure I don’t miss any of the most important moments.
19. What editing and photo delivery options do you offer?
After the wedding, I dedicate time to carefully select and edit the images. Each photo goes through a professional retouching process to ensure the highest quality, from light correction to color adjustments. The final photos are delivered in high resolution on a USB drive and in low resolution via a personalized online gallery.
My editing style is “True tone,” which means I aim to get as close as possible to natural colors so that the photos remain timeless and do not look outdated when you look back at them in 20 years.
20. Do you speak English? Can we communicate in any other language besides Spanish?
Yes, I speak English! I’m happy to offer my services to international couples. If you don’t speak Spanish, no worries—we can communicate in English.
21. How can you help me if I am a foreign couple getting married in Medellín?
It will be a pleasure to help you plan and document your wedding in Medellín! I can offer recommendations on the best vendors, photo locations in the city and surrounding areas, and assist you every step of the way so you can enjoy the process without stress, no matter where you’re located.
22. Do you have experience photographing weddings for international couples in Medellín?
Yes, photographing destination and multicultural weddings is one of my specialties. I’ve worked with couples from different parts of the world, and each wedding brings something unique and special. I’ve photographed weddings with various traditions and cultures, adapting to their needs and offering a completely personalized approach. If you’re planning your wedding in Medellín from another country, I can help coordinate all the photography details and ensure everything goes according to plan, no matter the distance.
23. Do you offer personalized packages based on my needs?
My experience has allowed me to condense the most common wedding needs into 3 general plans. You won’t have to study hundreds of options—these 3 will work for most couples. But if none of these plans perfectly fit your needs, we can create a custom plan. We can talk about the coverage type you want, the number of hours, whether you prefer a pre-wedding session, or if you’d like to include a photo album. Everything can be adjusted to fit your expectations and budget.
24. Do you have a policy regarding the use of social media to share our photos?
I always ask for permission before sharing any photos from a wedding on my social media or in my portfolio. If you prefer to keep the images private, I completely respect your decision and make sure the photos remain exclusive for you and your family.
25. How can I see your photographic style before deciding to hire you?
On my website and social media, I regularly share galleries of recent work from real weddings I’ve photographed. I also invite you to read real testimonials written by couples on Google Reviews, which will allow you to see how their experience was and the emotional impact of the photos I capture.
26. What do your clients say about your work as a wedding photographer?
My clients always highlight the quality of my work and the unique experience I provided during their wedding. Here are some words from couples who trusted me to capture their most special day (you can also see these reviews on Google Reviews):
