Wedding photo & Video Team
I’m Dayanni — but you can call me Day.
Photography started as a hobby for me — simply because I’ve always loved images in every form. Over time, that love turned into my profession, and I’ve been working as a photographer since 2017. For the past four years, I’ve been based in California, documenting stories in a place that now feels like home.
I’ve photographed many stages of life, and I still do. I believe every moment in a person’s life deserves to be remembered, but weddings became my focus because they hold so much emotion in a single day. It’s not just an event — it’s a collection of memories being created all at once.
Details are what move me the most. The small things that, years from now, bring everything back — the way hands meet, a quiet glance, the atmosphere you didn’t even realize you’d want to remember.
One of the most special parts of my work today is having my husband, Thiago, by my side. He’s been working with me for the past year as my second photographer and drone pilot, and I’ve shared my way of seeing with him. We move as a team, naturally and calmly, making sure your day is documented from every angle without ever feeling intrusive.
More than anything, I want you to feel comfortable and present. Because when you feel like yourselves, your photos don’t just look beautiful — they feel real.
Years from now, I don’t want you to just see your wedding day — I want you to feel it all over again.
Meet the Team
While I’m the one you connect with first, I’m not alone on your day. Over time, I’ve built a small team of people I truly trust — professionals who understand my approach, respect the moments unfolding, and move with the same calm and care I do.
Dayanni Kihara
Photographer
Hi, I’m Day — your main photographer and the one behind it all.
I’m primarily a photographer, but I also work as a hybrid shooter, capturing both photo and video when needed. From the first message to the final delivery, I’m the one handling your contract, planning, communication, editing, and every detail before and after the wedding — so you feel supported and taken care of the entire way.
Thiago Kihara
Second Photographer and Drone Pilot
Thiago has been working alongside me at weddings for the past year, bringing a calm, focused presence and a sharp eye for storytelling. Before weddings, he was a diver — and for years he photographed the world underwater, capturing movement, light, and emotion in the most unique environments.
That’s when he discovered his passion for photography… and it naturally grew into drone work too. Today, he’s the one behind your second angle coverage and aerial footage — making sure no moment is missed, from the big highlights to the quiet in-between moments.
Thomas Barone
Videomaker
Thomas has been part of my team for the past year, capturing weddings with a cinematic eye and a calm, professional presence. He focuses on the emotions that matter — the vows, the happy tears, the laughter, and all the quiet in-between moments that make your day feel unforgettable.
His goal is simple: to create a film that brings you right back to how it felt.
My philosophy
-
I’ve always been drawn to stories — the quiet ones, the loud ones, and especially the ones told through emotion rather than words. Photography became my way of preserving those stories in their most honest form.
On a wedding day, I’m more than the person with a camera. I’m a calm presence when things feel overwhelming, a guide when you’re not sure what to do with your hands, and an observer when the magic is already unfolding on its own.
I don’t believe in turning your day into a photoshoot. I believe in letting you live it fully, while I document it with intention, sensitivity, and a deep respect for the moments that can’t be repeated.
My goal is simple: when you look back at your photos years from now, I want you to feel everything all over again.
Let’s start telling your story.
I’d love to hear about your plans and everything that makes your day uniquely yours.
