Your kind of Love deserves You kind of Art
But sometimes choosing a photographer isn’t only about beautiful images — it’s also about how you’ll feel on your wedding day
The right photographer helps you feel at ease, guides you when needed, and knows when to step back so you can simply be together.
I’ll capture the big moments, keep the day flowing, calm any nerves, and create space for you to be fully present — letting you be you, enjoy your day, and trust that your story is in caring hands.

If we haven’t met yet…
Hi, I’m Daria — a traveler obsessed with old movies, European architecture, and the kind of light that makes you stop in your tracks. Six years in Japan taught me to notice the details most people miss, and now in sunny California, I use that eye to capture wedding days with honesty and care.
Are you ready to make magic together?
Daria is the best!
“She captured our wedding day beautifully, and the pictures were perfect. Her kind and warm personality made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend her! We loved her!”
Felt like I was reliving the day
“Daria did an incredible job capturing every moment every detail. As a bride you miss out on certain things but looking back at the photos felt like I was reliving the day. Thank you Daria for your beautiful work!”
More than a record of the day — a way to return to it
From the glance you exchanged before walking down the aisle to the way the light fell on your table during dinner, I’m there to preserve it all with care and precision. Wedding photography collections start at $3,000 and include:
- Artful storytelling — Honest, artful coverage with an eye for composition, light, and the in-between moments that define the day.
- Guidance when you need it — Timeline support, location suggestions, and gentle direction so portraits feel natural while allowing space for genuine connection.
- Engagement session — Time for us to connect before the wedding, ease any camera nerves, and create images you can use for invitations or keepsakes.
- Hand-finished images — Every photograph is individually edited and delivered in both high-resolution (for print) and web-size (for sharing) in a private online gallery.
- A seamless process — Clear communication, attention to detail, and quick responses so you feel supported from our first conversation to your final gallery.
Custom options — Additional hours, a second photographer, or film photography can be added to create a collection that fits your vision perfectly.

“We looked through numerous photographers on our search. Seeking someone whose artistic feel was consistent throughout their portfolio. I dabble in photography myself and have done a number of shoots, so it was clear to see who had the right eye for the craft. When we came across Daria, both my wife and I instantly thought, “she has a good eye!”
We were looking for a photographer for four hours to shoot a small elopement in Morro Bay and wedding photos thereafter. Daria answered and we set up a video call to explore ideas. 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.
The day of the wedding, Daria was ready to go with two full frame cameras at her side, sporting different lenses. Ready to capture key moments with the right tool. She was quick on her toes and took charge, but did so gracefully. That day I was running around getting last minute details set up for the ceremony, so my head was in producer mode; not “getting married” mode. When Daria pulled me aside for “first look” photos, she got my attention and helped me to get focused on my wedding day. Furthermore, she did such a great job talking to family members. Everyone there commented on how sharp and kind Daria was. Oh, and the photos were awesome! I can’t recommend Daria enough. So if you’re on the fence or considering other photographers… just book Daria!”
