Having grown up in Australia, Singapore, London and the US, Daina caught the travel bug early on. Moving schools, making new friends, experiencing new cultures, saying goodbyes... her childhood was full of change. After finishing school, she was set on working in the creative industries, then after a year at university, she changed her mind and ended up studying law because... why not?
Years later, before discovering her passion for photography, she found myself in a career as a corporate lawyer working in top firms and international companies in London, Singapore and Australia. But in that career, she'd always felt that some part of her was missing. Like she wasn't being her real self.
After getting into "THE" firm in London, she knew it wasn't right, so she resigned in search for something that was. She packed up her bags and went solo travelling around Europe, working as a sommelier in Austria, an English teacher in Italy and then all the way back to lawyering again in Singapore and Australia. It wasn't until 2022 after living in Milan and meeting her Italian husband, Lorenzo, that things began to began to flow and she reconnected with her passion for photography.
Fast forward, Daina and Lorenzo are happily married and working together as business partners as destination wedding and elopement photographers.
a little deeper...
A mentor once told me that some photographers are directors, some are collectors. It stuck with me, because I realised that I am a photographer that collects memories and moments as they come. I believe that my best work originates when the emotions are honest and real, working seamlessly with my husband and business partner, Lorenzo.
Together, we seek to balance the collecting vs directing letting the raw, real moments unfold and stepping in to create and guide whenever the moment calls for it. We’re there to tell the authentic story of a couple’s wedding day and the journey they took to get there. Our goal is for you to trust us to shoot your wedding as though we're on the inside - like a guest with a camera - capturing everything that's going on around you.
If you're looking for a wedding photography experience that will collect and preserve your wedding moments, celebrate you two for who you are and allow you to enjoy the journey, then enquire now. We'd love to hear from you.
