Wedding Photography in Los Angeles

Daria review Wife- We were very please and happy with Daria’s work as our wedding photographer. She’s very pleasant to work with, great with communication and very accommodating. She works fast and is great at directing people as a photographer. Daria has a wonderful eye for composition and her skill is demonstrated in her photos. We got so much praise for our wedding photos. Also, Daria is very reasonable with her pricing and is willing to adjust her pricing to fit your specific needs. We can’t recommend working with Daria enough! Husband- My wife and I were facing a number of challenges confronting our wedding day. She is an immigrant from Europe on a visa. Because of this, we were facing legal costs that would normally go into the wedding experience. We meticulously planned and budgeted everything ourselves to save wherever we could - so that anything we could save would go towards keeping her in the country legally. Furthermore, we wanted some of her family from Scandinavia to be at the wedding (she hadn’t seen them in over 5 years) but flight costs are too expensive most of the year for that to reasonably happen. Thinking of this, we decided to have our wedding sooner than later, at a time of year when flights were cheapest. We had mere months to pull everything together. 

We had about a three month window to plan everything on a limited budget. It was a small wedding of about 20 people total, including ourselves. Something closer to an elopement. A ceremony in a small chapel in Morro Bay, California. We hoped to find a photographer who would recognize the scale of our wedding and work within our budget, but who also had an eye for detail, with an artistic mind, and who was personable. We looked through numerous photographers on our search. Seeking someone whose artistic feel was consistent throughout their portfolio. I dabble in photography myself and have done a number of shoots, so it was clear to see who had the right eye for the craft. When we came across Daria Tiupina, both my wife and I instantly thought, “she has a good eye!” We reached out to Daria and explained our circumstances. We were looking for a photographer for four hours to shoot a small elopement and wedding photos thereafter. Daria answered and we set up a video call to explore ideas. From that first meeting, instantly we could tell that Daria was a professional - she offered ideas that neither my wife nor I were even thinking about. She was helpful from the start and committed to being there on our wedding day. The day of the wedding, Daria was ready to go with two full frame cameras at her side, sporting different lenses. Ready to capture key moments with the right tool. She was quick on her toes and took charge, but did so gracefully. That day I was running around getting last minute details set up for the ceremony, so my head was in producer mode; not “getting married” mode. When Daria pulled me aside for “first look” photos, she got my attention and helped me to get focused on my wedding day. Furthermore, she did such a great job talking to family members. Everyone there commented on how sharp and kind Daria was. Oh, and the photos were awesome! I can’t recommend Daria enough. So if you’re on the fence or considering other photographers… just book Daria!

Lulan and his team have photographed my wedding as well as my little sisters and have exceeded our expectations both times! I look forward to using them again for any event and would highly recommend him and his team!

We hired Holiak Photography for our engagement and wedding photos and loved them so much! The quality was incredible!! We had so many people compliment us on the quality. And the team was great to work with. We didn’t have experience taking professional photos and they made us feel so comfortable and guided us with poses. Worth the money!! 10000/10 recommend!!

Jesse and Jennifer are amazing. They found a perfect location for exactly what I was looking for in my engagement photos. Better than I could have even imagined. A place now that we will always cherish and have these fun and amazing moments. Prior to our shoot Jesse told us the game plan and what to expect. He suggested that we show up to the location early to explore together and to just be normal. I was still nervous. We’ve never done a photo shoot before. Not like this in a natural setting. Upon their arrival they arrived with this cute camper that later was super convenient for being able to change outfits for dress up photos and for the fun ones. Their energy and vibe is amazing and instantly we felt comfortable. Nervousness went away and over all the entire shoot was so much fun. Life is busy and sometimes we forget those little intimate moments that keep us connected. Jesse encouraged us to reconnect with that during the photo shoot. Constantly staying engaged with eachother. Soft touches, holding hands and just staying connected. Just him and I in this open world. Looking at my fiancee and seeing him in the way that I saw him when we first met was amazing. My heart melted all over again. The laughter and fun and then the intimate moments was remarkable. Jesse has this amazing creative side. His visions and his artistic eye captured moments we wouldn’t have otherwise been able to see. The photo shoot was about us and what we felt with eachother. The intimate the playful and silliness. It never felt rehearsed or those ones that you’re told to pose this way or pose that way. He basically allowed us to be ourselves with little guidance and he captured those moments perfectly. I have never been happier with any other photos I have ever taken. For any type of photography in the future he is our choice as we would not go with anyone else. I would recommend anyone and everyone to try him out. You will not be disappointed.

We had the pleasure of working with Michal of Lucky Devils for our wedding, and we couldn't have asked for a better videographer! From start to finish, Michal went above and beyond to ensure our special day was beautifully captured. He was not only professional and incredibly skilled, but also kind, patient, and such a calming presence throughout the entire process. Michal clearly loves what he does and is really passionate about his work. His energy and enthusiasm brought so many fun vibes to our day, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. He captured both the big moments and the small, candid details, always making sure to include everything that mattered to us. We were blown away by the final video—it’s not just a wedding video, it’s a true work of art that we’ll treasure forever. His creativity and attention to detail were evident throughout the day. He seamlessly blended into the background while still getting all the shots we wanted, making us feel comfortable and relaxed at every moment. As a same-sex couple, we also really appreciated how Michal made us feel completely at ease and respected throughout the process. We also appreciated how flexible and accommodating Michal was with our large family and specific requests. He really made sure that everything was perfect, and the final product exceeded all expectations. If you're looking for a videographer who is talented, passionate, and truly loves his craft, we can't recommend Michal and Lucky Devils enough. Thank you, Michal, for capturing the most important day of our lives in such a beautiful and meaningful way!

Dania is the best! From the start she was a dream to work with, so sweet, organized, and gave helpful feedback. And after receiving our photos back from the wedding day, we are just beyond obsessed. A truly talented photographer. She captured our day better than I could have ever asked for. I highly reccomend booking the lovely gal!

Alexa and her team were incredible on the day and we were so happy with the photos. She didn't just give me a couple good shots, but an entire portfolio of amazing photos. She did a great job capturing the spirit of the day.
