Hello there, I'm dianna!
wedding videographer and HOPELESS ROMANTIC SOUL.
BEHIND THE LENS
My preferred approach on your wedding day is to embrace the role of a silent observer. I often share with my couples that my intervention is minimal, limited to moments like setting up the first look or prompting during romantics (or couples' photos). Throughout the day, I purposefully remain in the background, keenly observing the subtle interactions between your families, friends, and, most importantly, the both of you.
I believe that this unobtrusive filming style enables me to capture the essence of your day in its most authentic and organic form. My goal is for you to reminisce about your wedding day as a genuine celebration of your love, rather than recalling it as a staged video production.
" Life is a series of fleeting moments, but the memories we create are everlasting ."

Q1. What is your go-to drink order?
An iced matcha latte with soy milk, slightly sweetened! Ya girl is lactose-intolerant and highly sensitive to caffeine LOL. But at Dutch Bros (fave ever), it's an iced Midnight Rebel!
Q2. How do you pronounce your last name?
I get this soooo often! Here's a video that pronounces it correctly in Vietnamese. But I pronounce it the anglicized way: "New-wen."
Q3. What is your current hyperfixation?
I'm currently obsessed with Sonny Angels, reading (let's be Goodreads/Storygraph friends), traveling everywhere and anywhere, and hot pot (specifically Szechuan)!
Q4. If you could be any fictional character, who would it be?
I would be Rey Skywalker (*eye roll at Disney*). This is solely for the reason that I would not mind being kidnapped by Kylo Ren and having him fall in love with me.
ell, first things first, let's talk astro vibes — I'm a Type A Capricorn sun, Virgo moon, and Cancer rising.

Understanding the pursuit of perfection is in my cosmic DNA. When you entrust me with your wedding videography, know that it's not just about capturing moments; it's a responsibility I take great pride in.
I grew up watching my parents’ wedding video on VHS over and and over again, and it's one of ways I have grown to learn about my grandfather, who passed shortly after I was born. I carry their memories in my heart and it is part of the reason why I do what I do.
Life is a series of fleeting moments, but the memories we create are everlasting. I am never without a camera because I love documenting my life and my memories so that I can revisit them in the future and remember the exact emotions I felt in that moment. I wish to do the same for your wedding film!

I received a VHS camcorder for Christmas (from Santa, lol) and that thing never left my side for years. I documented everything; I even snuck it into elementary school and made little movies and bits featuring my friends! I have since digitalized these videos and look back every so often.
I started traveling often this year and wanted a way to preserve the memories. Inspired by YouTubers like Sam Kolder, Sailing La Vagabonde, and Mark Weins, I bought a GoPro and started vlogging! I still do this for most of the trips I go on, having upgraded to a Sony RX100 MVII! You can check out my slightly cringey vlogs here.
In August 2020, I met @cassidyophotos and I credit her with introducing me to the world of videography! She had me come with her to a couple of her events and weddings, where I got to dive into the world of event and wedding videography. I absolutely fell in love and have not looked back since. Cassidy and I are still friends today and often work together still! I will forever be grateful for her.
After second shooting and working weddings for a while, I took on my very first solo wedding! This is where I became obsessed. At this time, I was working as a children's behavioral therapist and at a dental office. Whatever free I had, I spent taking courses from other established videographers, learning what I could, and as much as I could. I credit Forestry Films, Henry Tieu, and Alesia Films for the education!
June 2022 was when I committed to doing wedding videography full-time. It was nerve-wracking for sure, but it was one of the best decisions I could have made. I love what I do so much and I have so much gratitude for all of my couples for trusting me with some of their most important memories.

THE YEAR I GOT MY CAMERA
THE YEAR I STARTED VLOGGING
the year the passion grew
the year i started doing weddings
the year i trusted myself
How did I get here ?
I have always loved taking photographs of things and moments I love. My dad gifted with my very first camera in April 2013. It was a Canon Rebel T3i and I took that thing everywhere. I even started taking my classmates' graduation photos to test my hand at freelance photography!
