You want photos that feel like you—unforced, full of life, and nothing that’ll make you cringe in 20 years. That’s where I come in.
I’m an Australian wedding photographer based in Italy, drawn to honest moments over perfect ones. Before this, I was a corporate lawyer (true story), which means I’m calm under pressure and obsessed with the details—just without the office and heels.
I photograph weddings with curiosity, intuition, and a bit of cinematic flair. If you’re after stiff poses and fake laughs, I’m probably not your person. But if you want timeless, true-to-you images that actually feel like your day, I’d love to be there.
Photographs that feel like you: unforced, full of life, and nothing that’ll make you cringe in 20 years. That’s where Daina comes in.
As an Australian photographer based in Italy, Daina lives for the moments you can’t stage: champagne-fuelled joy, wind in your veil, your father tearing up during the vows. She's here for the couples who value meaning over perfection. Who want someone calm in the chaos, quick on their feet, and who knows exactly when to step in—and when to disappear into the crowd. If you’re after stiff poses and fake laughs, it might not be the best fit. But if you want timeless, true-to-you images that actually feel like your day, then you're in the right place.
"Daina!!! THESE ARE SENSATIONAL!! You've captured the most perfect moments from our day and honestly you a such a warm soul, we adored you. we're absolutely over the moon with them it has been so nice to go through them and re-live the day. We can't thank you enough for not only the great photos, but for making us feel at ease throughout the day. It was such a pleasure to meet you! We're currently trying to think on another excuse to visit Italy again, once we think of one we'll let you know when we're coming back!"

"Daina, you are amazing. I'M FREAKING OUT!! We are absolutely in love with you and your work and cannot believe these photos. I'm at a loss for words. You are the most beautiful person and your work reflects that - my mum and I were in tears this morning over having you in that room with us, it just meant everything. I'll never forget the little things, like taking my gum and helping me with my dress. We really needed your presence. Thank you so so much, the photos are just incredible. I don't even know what to say. Thank you!!"

"We’re honestly lost for words. You are a magician - these photos are absolutely beautiful and we can’t thank you enough for them. One of the most special things about having a photographer is getting to see all the moments we might have missed on the day, and you’ve captured them all so beautifully. One of my favourites is my dad’s face as I came down the stairs, pure emotion that I missed in amongst the adrenaline of it all but will now get to cherish forever. I’m so glad you made the leap from corporate life into photography, because you’re incredibly talented behind the lens but also at making people feel at ease. These photos have given us something we can return to again and again to relive our day by."
"I couldn’t recommend our photographer and planner, Daina Hazel enough. Planning something in another country where you can’t be present to meet vendors in person or see things for yourself comes with a lot of unknowns. Daina put me at ease throughout the entire process. She was so thoughtful and thorough. By the end of the night, we felt like we had just gained two new friends in Daina and her husband Lorenzo."
