Life is the greatest adventure...
Hi! Right
this way
What's up Babes?
Diamond here! I'm the crazy lady behind the lens and the owner of Diamond Israel Photography. I started this journey in 2016 in Oahu, HI and since then I've had the opportunity to be based out of Colorado Springs, Colorado and now happy to be back in my home state and based out of St. Louis, Missouri.
I don't want to be too formal (because let's face it, we're friends now right?) so let's just talk about what I do and who I am. I'm a professional destination elopement & couples photographer who has a huge heart and a knack for exploring the world. I'm a sucker for a love story, and I believe that human connection is one of the most beautiful things on the planet.
A few other titles I claim are: young entrepreneur, educator, toddler mom, life of the party, professional third wheel, women's empowerment leader, avid explorer, and epic hype woman. I recklessly chase the sun till it becomes the moon and I dance like a fool. I have a thrift-shopping obsession, and I talk to my plants as if they were my children. My laugh is what I've been told is "contagious", and I smile as often as possible. I prefer tea over coffee and white rum over vodka. Last but not least, I love super hard and make an effort to make every person I meet feel seen and important.
I'm so excited you're here and I can't wait to get to know you more! Really, I'm not just saying that. I love making new friends!
"I recklessly chase the sun
'till it
becomes the moon and I dance like a fool."
Tell me your story.
I'm your professional third wheel.
I pride myself on the fact that I'm able to tell a story through a lens. Not just any story, but YOUR story. I wanna know how you guys met, your favorite thing about one another, what makes you smile from ear to ear, all the mushy gushy stuff! Then I want to make that love story come to life through your photos. I like to consider myself a professional third wheel, and an epic hype woman for any occasion.
I LOVE genuine emotion and I will be sure to pull it out of you during our session. I'm not one for the static, stand still, poses that we all feel awkward doing. I love to get my couples up and moving, hysterically laughing, and sometimes maybe even a little dirty (if your up for it!). All the meanwhile, we're creating memories and I can promise you that by the end of the session, not only will you have a friend in me but also some great stories to tell and remember forever.

story, but Yours"
