ABOUT US
Behind the Lens
I'm an adventurer who finds great joy in creating and capturing connection and beauty in the mundane and the extraordinary.
about me
I'm darina
I began this photography journey in 2015 with curiosity to capture beauty, and that curiosity still drives me to create. With years of experience I know exactly how any wedding day might go and how to work around any situation in the moment so you can be confident that your day will be captured in all of its beauty.
I'm the person who enjoys life in all the happy moments and learns from every sad and difficult moment. I am a believer in Christ and it's a huge part of my life and identity. Everything I do in life I put in all I can. My life's motto is to die and have lived a fruitful, brutally honest, and authentic life.

things that are me:
01
places i've been
I was born in Belarus, but my current home is Maryland. Since I love to explore, my travel list includes: Germany, Mexico, Poland, Puerto Pico, Canada, U.S. Virgin Islands, Ukraine, and the Dominican Republic.
02
guilty pleasure
Desserts! This girl is definitely a sweet tooth. Bribe me with desserts and coffee and I would do anything. Well, almost anything.
03
pastTime
Spending time reading! This could be either nonfiction books or spending time in my bible. And the other is painting or visiting art galleries.
04
meal
TACOS! Any tacos! Literally anything in a taco is a go. Unpopular opinion: but midnight Taco Bell is where it's at.
05
real passion
One thing that I obsess over is the world underwater. I find it so fascinating that I became a scuba diver and am a strong conservationist when it comes to all things that live in the sea.
06
part of my job
The real moments during a wedding day. The ones where a father cries seeing his little girl grown up, the ones where the groom sheds a tear when she's walking down the isle.
07
Personal life update
The love of my life, Dennys, and I got engaged March 2024. And I am sooo excited to bring our experience and new knowledge to how I serve you all, my lovely couples.
