About me. Cinematic Wedding & Elopement Photography in Los Angeles | Inspired by Indie Film & Real Life

Hi there, I’m Daria, professional wedding & portrait photographer based in Los Angeles, California.

My journey in the creative field began years ago when I moved to Japan and started my career in TV production as a journalist and producer. After 10 years in the industry, I realized that photography was my true passion. 

Planning my own wedding in 2021 opened my eyes to how incredible the wedding world truly is — it’s filled with so much energy, beauty, and unforgettable moments. I loved every second of my wedding day and knew I wanted to be part of this amazing atmosphere. Now, my goal is to help couples feel safe, relaxed, and stress-free while capturing their special moments.

I love capturing people against breathtaking natural landscapes, whether it’s an outdoor wedding, intimate elopement, or romantic love story. 

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me on a road trip or hiking, constantly seeking inspiration from the great outdoors.  

My dream has always been to travel as much as possible and see as much as I can

I still follow this goal, but now with my beloved husband by my side. I truly believe that new places and experiences can shape us, making us completely different people (hopefully in the best way!).

When it came to my own wedding

I actually wanted to elope. But in Russia, making it official turned out to be way more expensive than having a traditional wedding. So instead, we had a small, intimate celebration in a beautiful garden, just with our closest friends and family. And we never regret we decided to do it (and spent lot of money:)!

That day changed everything for me — I became obsessed with the wedding world and the idea of creating moments that feel real, meaningful, and true to who you are.

I’m here to help couples like you craft a wedding day that feels personal and unique.
