Frequently Asked Questions
There won’t be any additional expenses on my part. Based on my previous experiences, the only additional costs the couples might incur are for parking, taxis, or drinks.

Yes, I love photographing elopements. They are becoming an increasingly popular option for couples around the world. Elopements allow you to focus on each other without the distractions of a large crowd or strict timeline.

Yes! I love photographing big weddings. A wedding represents such a special day in our lives, and celebrating it with loved ones creates some of the most memorable experiences.

Yes, I do shoot in both digital and film formats. This allows me to capture the best of both worlds—digital for its versatility and quick turnaround, and film for its timeless, classic look. If you’re interested, we can incorporate both formats into your wedding day to create a unique blend of modern and vintage aesthetics.
The most convenient payment method is through Zelle, which is instant and free of fees. You can use my email address, ivandianaphotography@gmail.com, for Zelle payments. Alternatively, you can pay via PayPal or check. Please note that PayPal charges a service fee ranging from 4% to 11%, depending on your country. I require a retainer, which will be applied to the final payment. The retainer ranges from $200 to $1,000, depending on the value of your package. For those paying via Zelle or PayPal, the final payment is due one week before the shoot. For cash payments, the final payment is due on the day of the shoot.
I will provide you with all the files, except for a few test shots. Sometimes, for important moments, I take multiple photos in continuous mode, about 5 shots per second. From these, I might select 2-3 of the best images.
I will do my best to deliver your photos as quickly as possible. During slower months, I typically deliver files within a week. However, during the busy season, it may take up to 6 weeks
I’ve been photographing professionally since 2005. I spent my 20’s living on a different cruise ships working as a photographer, traveling the world. I started Ivan Diana Photography back in 2011.
We’ve called Vegas home since 2015, having moved here from Europe.
You will receive at least 70 photos per hour. This number can be lower if we have a lot of downtime (running late, traveling between locations), but it can also be higher. Please check this complete gallery. Priscilla and Andrew received 240 photos from this two hour long session.
You will receive your files through an online gallery. I will provide you with a link and a pin code, allowing you to download all the files at once in full resolution. You’ll also be able to easily share them with friends and family. Don’t forget to print your favorite photos—give your digital files an analog life! 😊
Thanks! Please reach out through my Contact us page. Our next step is to sign the contract. It’s all done online. I can’t wait to meet you in person.
Yes, most of the hotels in Las Vegas require a general liability policy for up to 2 million dollars. I do carry that policy.
If you’re traveling with your guests, the best option is to hire a party bus. You’ll be chauffeured in style from location to location, enjoy the freedom to play your own music, and as a bonus, many party buses come with a pole to really crank up the party!
If it’s just the two of you, the most convenient option is to rent a limo. You’ll be dropped off right at each location, so you won’t have to worry about parking and walking to the photo spots.
If you’re on a budget, you’re more than welcome to ride with me. It’s a great way to get to know each other better! Just keep in mind that we’ll need to park at hotels and walk to the photo spots, which might take a little bit of precious time.

Once I photographed a wedding with 750 guests.
While working on a cruise ship, we often had chartered cruises where a group of people with similar interests rented the entire ship for a week. These groups could range from scrapbooking enthusiasts to jazz lovers, but the one cruise I’ll never forget was a nude cruise. Over 2,000 guests sailed with us for a week without clothing. The highlight of that cruise was taking a group photo of all 2,000 guests. It also happened to be my birthday—what a memorable birthday present that was! 🙂
The Little White Wedding Chapel and Sure Thing Chapel.
I personally edit all of my files. I’m just as excited as you are to see the photos as soon as I get back home! I import the images into Adobe Lightroom and carefully edit each file.
