For couples who love tradition — on their own terms
Whether you choose a small, intimate celebration with your closest people or a larger gathering, your day should be captured in a way that feels like you —
honest, personal, and true to who you are as a couple.
If wedding planning has you asking, “Is this even us?” — you’re not alone.
I felt the same with my own day, and I see it often: couples so busy meeting expectations that they hardly get to feel their own celebration.
Let’s do it differently. Keep the pieces you love, lose the ones you don’t, and build a day that fits — intimate or full-house, city or coast.
I’ll guide you through a calm, clear plan and photograph what happens between you and your people — candid first, artfully composed, never over-posed — so it looks and feels like your day.
Whether it’s an intimate wedding in Los Angeles, a romantic elopement by the ocean, or a city engagement — I’m here to capture your love story in the most authentic way.

Hi there, I’m Daria
Your storyteller with a love for natural light & timeless films
My story blends real-life storytelling with a bit of production know-how. Six years in Japan taught me to notice the quiet, beautiful moments most people might miss, and working in television showed me how to stay calm, organized, and ready for anything.
I picked up my first camera in 2012 and fell in love with capturing life as it unfolds. Since 2021 — the year I got married myself — I’ve been photographing weddings, with a deeper understanding of how it feels to be on the other side of the lens.
“From that first meeting, instantly we could tell that Daria was a professional — she offered ideas that neither my wife nor I were even thinking about. She was helpful from the start and committed to being there on our wedding day.”
“Daria, words are not enough to thank you for all the wonderful photos you have taken during our wedding. I love all of them! Thank you for capturing the all smiles that I had on my face! 😂”
