behind the lens

Well hello! Ciao, benvenuti. I'm Daina Hazel and I'm thrilled you've found your way to my corner of the world. If you're here it means you're seeking a photographer, so thank you for considering me.

I'm an Australian wedding photographer based in Italy, and I'm inspired by the real things we experience as humans. Like the pure love and joy people experience during one of the biggest days of their lives. The unexpected champagne pop, the overwhelming emotion of seeing everyone you know in one room, just for you. The tears in your parents eyes when they see you.

And even though you're searching for a photographer who can capture it all, my goal is actually not to feel like a photographer on the day. I aim to capture your wedding day as if I were a guest with a camera—a blend of candid, documentary and a touch of cinematic flair. I'm there when you need me, and I blend in to watch the real things unfold.

"I couldn’t recommend our photographer, 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 Lorenzo."

"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!"
