kind words

Daria photographed our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with the photos! They’re the perfect mix of candid, posed, and true “Kodak moments” that we’ll remember forever.

Daria was also incredibly friendly and professional on our wedding day. Several guests mentioned how respectful she was, always smiling, and just genuinely wonderful to be around. I’ve been to weddings where the photographer is grumpy or rude to guests, especially when people are trying to take photos on their phones, but Daria was the complete opposite. She gave everyone space to capture their moments before stepping in for her professional shots.


She was awesome! 10/10 recommend.

Amazing experience working with such a talented, driven, hard-working photographer. Daria blew our expectations out of the water. I had incredibly high standards going into choosing our wedding photographer as this is one of the most important vendors to consider for such a momentous day. Not only did Daria ease any nerves we had about posing for professional photography, she guided us through each step and made sure to always explain her vision. Her work with different lighting is so impressive and she always knows how to take the perfect shot. She did not miss a single important moment.

Daria's passion and love for photography is clearly exemplified through every detail she painstakingly perfects in her art. We were so honoured to have her as our wedding photographer and we will always reach out to her for our photography needs in the future.

We interviewed a lot of photographers because capturing the most important day of our lives was a top priority for us. When we found Daria, we instantly fell in love with her photography style—and her creative ideas made her stand out even more.

We met with her again before the wedding to plan out the entire itinerary, and she was incredibly thoughtful and organized. On the big day, she arrived early and made sure we had enough time to capture every special moment. She was calm, reassuring, and guided us through everything—how to pose, where to look, all the little things that added up to truly amazing photos.

We also had a videographer, and Daria worked seamlessly with them, guiding the process and making sure everything ran smoothly.

I was getting ready in a hotel room that turned out to be beautiful but really small—but Daria worked her magic, and the photos from that space turned out stunning. Our guests also absolutely loved the photos she took of them.

Thank you, Daria, for capturing our day so perfectly—you gave us memories we’ll cherish forever.

I can't recommend Daria enough!


She made our engagement photoshoot such a fun and stress-free experience. From the start, she suggested the most stunning, Instagram-worthy location that set the perfect backdrop for our shoot. Both my fiancé and I are a bit camera shy and tend to feel awkward posing, but she was so great at guiding us through each shot, making us feel comfortable and natural. She knew exactly how to capture us at our best. The best part? We got our photos back incredibly fast, and they turned out absolutely beautiful. My entire family was blown away by the results. If you're looking for someone who’s not only talented but also incredibly patient and helpful, look no further!

“Daria was an absolute DREAM to work with!!“

I hired her for an engagement photoshoot for one hour on the day of our engagement ceremony and I have no regrets. Not only is she incredibly sweet but she’s super calm as well. Our photoshoot was scheduled at a time where there was a severe thunderstorm, which is something stressful for any bride, but she did not stress at all. In fact, she took absolutely brilliant shots of us inside the hotel and waited for the rain to clear before taking some phenomenal shots outside by the waterfront as well. I’ve attached a bunch just to showcase her work as I’m so impressed. Daria would direct us and give us prompts that help us pose better, which was super helpful as we’re both quite camera shy. The results were beyond my expectations. She truly understands how to work with lighting and edits the photos in a very natural way. You can tell how passionate she is about her work just from how fun she makes the shoot. I would highly recommend booking her services for any occasion (:

Daria was truly such a delight to have as our wedding day photographer.


Her attention to detail and creativity are so reflective in our photos. From the very first meeting, I could tell Daria truly cared about making sure our vision for our wedding day came to life in the photos. We also ended up changing one of our photo locations for the day and Daria was incredibly accommodating and understanding. On top of being an incredible photographer, she was so fun to be around and truly made the time taking photos memorable. I would really recommend having Daria capture your celebrations. SO SO glad we did!

“Daria is an amazing photographer“

he is so talented and so creative and so wonderful to work with. From the moment we had our video call, I knew she cared about what she does and she cared about making sure we were aligned.

I can't imagine anyone else having captured our wedding day. We were in awe at how beautiful the photos were. I loved how Daria coached us when it came to posing so all our photos don't look exactly the same. But, she made it fun and easy!

Can't recommend Daria enough :)!

Daria's passion for her work truly shines through in every photo she takes

Despite my party starting an hour late in the evening and losing daylight, the photos she captured were magical. They were bright, dreamy, and absolutely stunning. Daria has an incredible talent for making people feel comfortable in front of the camera, she helped guide my guests on how to pose naturally. The result was a collection of beautiful, genuine moments that I will treasure forever. Thank you so much, Daria. I am seriously considering flying you out for my wedding in Nigeria because your work is simply unmatched.
