About Dayanni Kihara Photography

Dayanni Kihara Photography

Photo & Video Team

Dayanni Kihara Photography is a husband-and-wife studio specializing in wedding photography and film. We tell your story the way it truly unfolds — the quiet glances, the happy tears, the moments you'll want to relive forever. What matters most is you. We always arrive well before the day begins, and never charge extra for it, because those early moments are when we get to know you, calm the nerves, and start feeling the day together. Based in San Diego, we photograph and film weddings throughout California, Nevada, Idaho, and Utah — wherever your love story takes you.

A real team, so you're never turned away. With a full team of photographers and filmmakers, we can cover two weddings the same day — when Dayanni is at one, Thiago leads the other, with the same warmth and care. Cinematic storytelling. We blend timeless, vintage-inspired footage into your film, with aerial drone coverage available. Memories in your hands. Every couple leaves with a personalized keepsake printed with your photo. With our full collections, we craft an album that plays your wedding film the moment you open it.

Absolutely Amazing Wedding Photography
I couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos and videos! The entire team did an absolutely incredible job capturing such a special day in our lives. Every time we look at the photos or watch the videos, we are able to relive all the emotions and beautiful moments of our wedding day. The photos are stunning, natural, and full of emotion, and the video tells the story of our day so beautifully. They captured not only the big moments, but also so many little details, expressions, and candid moments that mean so much to us. The photographer and the entire team were professional, kind, patient, and made us feel completely comfortable throughout the day. We are truly grateful for the care and dedication they put into preserving these memories for us. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. These photos and videos are something we will treasure for the rest of our lives. We highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented and trustworthy team to capture one of the most important days of their lives!

I would not recommend
Dayanni Kihara's photos are stunning and her pricing is fair, which made us excited about working with her. Unfortunately, communication was a real struggle from start to finish. she was slow to respond to messages and calls, and we found ourselves stressed trying to get answers during an already hectic planning process. On the actual wedding day, though, she showed up and delivered. Her work behind the camera that day was excellent and she was easy to work with in the moment. Also She never delivered my videos and it upset me a lot. Overall, we're happy with our photos, but the experience could have been smoother.

Thank you, Angela, for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m very happy to hear that you love your photos and that you enjoyed working with me on the wedding day. I’m sorry to hear that the communication during the planning process felt stressful. I always want my couples to feel supported and informed throughout the entire experience, and I appreciate you bringing this to my attention. I also want to clarify one point regarding the videos mentioned in the review. Video coverage was not included in the photography package that was contracted. The videos were provided as a complimentary gift, and they have been available in your online gallery along with your photos for some time. I’m sorry there was any confusion about this. Thank you again for trusting me to document such an important day. I truly appreciate your kind words about the photography and your experience with me on the wedding day.

Best photographer and team around!
Dayanni and her team are miracle workers. We have felt supported and heard throughout the entire wedding process, starting with our engagement photo shoot. Our engagement photos were perfect, we used them for our invitations and knew that we chose the perfect photographer for our big day. Dayanni and her team had such great ideas for photo spots and she gives great cues that really helped make us comfortable during the photos. She did my hair and makeup for my big day as well and truly made me feel like a princess! Not only does Dayanni have great communication, she’s so kind and truly cares about her clients and the work that she produces.
