Diane McKinney Photography

Diane McKinney Photography is very professional and wonderful to work with. She takes beautiful and breath-taking photographs. I am always happy with her work. I will always recommend Diane McKinney Photography to all my friends and family. Thanks Diane for always doing an outstanding job!!

Diane is an AMAZING photographer! She is artistic, focused and so much fun to be around! I must also mention that her retouching abilities in photoshop are absolutely incredible!!!!!!!

Diane Mckinney photography is amazing!!!! I can't imagine what the wedding day would have been like without her. We had a tornado during the wedding and no power at the church or reception! It was an unforgettable day and she was amazing!!! She handled everything and took the most amazing pictures! I can't even put into words how great she is!

Diane McKinney takes outstanding photos and is a joy to work with. Years of experience ensures you don't miss a thing on your wedding day.

Diane did a fantastic job; she takes the time to get to know her brides. Diane was always there at the right moments to capture the beautiful candid moments of our wedding day. She did a wonderful job integrating our requests with her creative style that created amazing pictures of our day. The amount of images from the day blew me away. There were so many favorites to choose from.

Photography was the only thing I splurged on for my wedding, and as WONDERFUL a job as Diane did, I only wish that we hadn't had to pay extra to get the photos on disc afterward. It just seemed that the fees kept on coming. Otherwise, she's amazing, and she does a wonderful job, and she's friendly, and great. She's just also outside of the budget I set up.

Diane McKinney Photography is awesome! First of all, Diane was very responsive and flexible. In my case, she was flexible in scheduling different dates for my portrait when the weather would not cooperate and when I was making decisions on which pictures to use for a portrait or for prints and changing my mind frequently. Through the whole process, Diane was kind and understanding. She contributed to making my wedding day more calm rather than more stressful. In addition to all this, I absolutely LOVED my wedding pictures and portrait pictures!!! Diane and Gillian were both at my wedding and they both did a fabulous job! High quality pictures and they captured all the right moments that I will cherish for a lifetime!!!! You can't go wrong with deciding to go with Diane McKinney Photography!

We are so glad we chose Diane McKinney as our wedding photographer! She has a great personality as well as being a skilled photographer with a very good artistic eye! She is fun to be around and is very helpful with issues that as a bride I dealt with. She cared about making our family, friends, and us(the bride and groom) look the best we could in every picture. She has a warm heart and gave me support in all stages of wedding photography we did from the engagement pictures to bridal portrait pictures to wedding day pictures! She told the full story of everything that happened on our wedding day too. When I look at the pictures, I feel like I'm reliving our special day all over again! She captured all the things and moments that I wanted captured, and she captured things that happened that day that I didn't even see! And, she knew how to talk with the young children we have in our immediate family and put them at ease for all the pictures they were in! I'm so, so happy Diane was our wedding photographer!

Diane and her staff are such a treat to work with and amazing photographic artists! She was the FIRST thing we decided on for our wedding! After my now-husband and I saw her photography when he was the best man in another wedding she shot, we knew she was a fabulous photogrpher. We were interested in an artistic and fresh approach to wedding photos. Diane captured all my favorite memories just as the sun was setting over the water and even stayed later than planned after we had to delay the wedding timeline for guests to arrive. The most AWE-inspiring shots are from our morning after or "Mr. and Mrs." photos. I was not interested in traditional bridal portraits, so Diane gave us the option to take pictures the next morning after the wedding. We chose to get up early when the sunglight was just gleaming over the water.... it was SO worth it! All of the photographs, from getting ready to the very last one reflected Diane and her assistant, Gillian's patience and experience--the whole time my husband and I were laughing and enjoying our selves! Diane is very professional and will work to adjust her packages for your interests. Our family and friends continue to compliment how beautiful all the photos are from the Facebook slideshow Diane created. We just received our custom thank-you notes included in her packages with one of our favorite pictures of us from the wedding---we can't wait to send them out!

Diane was helpful, fun, and willing to do anything you wanted as a bride. She was on time, the cost was reasonable, and she gives a modern take on some traditional ideas! I had a blast working with her.

The best decision I made while planning my wedding was to hire Diane. She was professional and knew what she was doing every minute of my special day. She was very organized, full of energy and made taking pictures a blast! The pictures were produced very fast after the wedding and look amazing. And my wedding album was absolutely GORGEOUS-I've seen a lot of my friend's wedding albums and they are nothing compared to what Diane made for me! :) She is absolutely fantastic!!!

Diane photographed our engagement photos, bridal portraits and wedding. She is absolutely amazing! She’s very professional and excellent to work with. She understands the needs of the brides and works extremely well with them. Diane has a great personality and this trait is one of my favorite things about working with her. On the day of the wedding, the bride is under so much stress and Diane is great at distressing the bride and not giving her anything additional to worry about! Our photos were uploaded in a very timely manner – before we even returned from our honeymoon. We received our prints in less than 3 weeks from the wedding. All of our friends and family that have viewed the online galleries have raved about how great the photos look! Diane has a great eye and very talented. During my bridal portraits she found so many neat places to shoot – such as the wine cellar in Barclay Villa. It’s one of my favorite portraits! She has great techniques to make sure everyone looks their best – especially the bride! I highly recommend going with Diane for your next wedding. Be sure to do the full package and get the photo guestbook. All of our guests complimented us on how unique the photo guest book is.

Amanda photographed our rehearsal dinner as well as the wedding. We couldn’t have gotten a more dedicated and tireless photographer. Amanda and her assistant Amy worked hard to provide a wide variety of photographs. Amanda has a great eye for detail, a real sense of composition and artistry, and an ability to capture both formal and impromptu moments beautifully. Best of all, she has a real gift for working with people. She provided just enough in the way of guidance and direction to keep things moving, without ever being pushy or “taking over.” It was like having your photography done by a good friend who also just happens to be an extremely competent photographer. We felt absolutely at ease throughout the whole process. Amanda was also very good at taking un-posed, informal, and/or candid shots while remaining unobtrusive. Our pictures turned out wonderful! We highly recommend Amanda.

I highly recommend Diane McKinney Photography to every bride. Every penny spent was completely worth it, from our engagement pics to our wedding day. Our album is fabulous! Thank you!

Love Diane and Gillian. The captured the day perfectly for us. Their pictures are amazing and quality of service is perfect. No one even compares. Would recommend them highly to anyone. They helped save our memories from that day forever:-)

Diane McKinney Photography was truly amazing before, during and after my wedding. They were professional, creative, and exceeded all of our expectations.

Diane was very professional and fun to work with. She had a lot of great suggestions, tips and tricks that made our pictures come our beautifully! She was not only helpful but also inspired us to get creative which resulted in some fabulous pictures which were published in Carolina Bride Magazine! Diane is a phenomenal photographer and I would highly recommend her work.

Diane was our photographer on the most important day of our lives, Our Wedding! She was phenomenal and we were thrilled with the finished product. She is fun to work with, creative in her photography and excited by her profession, these 3 traits are a recipe for success! I would highly recommend Diane to anyone who is looking for an exceptional, unique and passionate wedding photographer.

There are nothing but great things to say about Diane McKinney Photography. My husband and I often say that our wedding would just not have been the same without Diane! She was 8+ months pregnant but still bending over backwards to make everything happen and it was just PERFECT. Thank you so much, we will never forget it!

I wish I still lived in Durham, NC because I would have Diane and Jennifer do all of my photography. Diane was very professional and a pleasure to work with. Jennifer was so much fun to have photiograph our wedding, everybody loved her.
