Diallo

Hi, I’m Diallo, and for me, photography is about freezing a moment in time so you can always remember exactly how you felt. Whether it's your first kiss, your first dance, or a candid shot from your reception, I want the photos to take you back to your special day, even twenty years down the road. I’ve been a wedding and portrait photographer for 10 years, photographing weddings all over the Chicagoland area. Every couple I work with wants images that are timeless, beautiful, and fun—and that’s exactly what I deliver.

Working with me is like having a new friend by your side. I take the time to learn who you are and capture your authentic selves. I’m a personable guy—nerdy, passionate, focused, and creative (I talk a lot). When I’m playing sports, though, I’m a different person, but when it comes to your big day, I’m there to make sure you’re comfortable and relaxed while I work to capture your story.

My favorite part of a wedding day is during cocktail hour when I can steal the couple away for portraits as they reflect on the day. It's those quiet moments of connection that I love to capture. To prepare for a new venue, I always do my research, checking out the venue’s website and photos, looking for well-lit spots and scenic views to make the most of every location.
