Hi, I'm Dasha, a wedding photographer based in Auckland.
Originally from Belarus, I’m also a jazz raver and a certified snack enthusiast!
When it comes to plants, I’m not exactly a natural — let’s just say even a cactus couldn’t survive my care. But animals? They love me! I grew up with a Chow Chow and even have a tattoo in her memory. While I don’t have a dog right now, I’m holding out for my future Akita Inu.
Now, let's talk food — my ultimate comfort is a bagel loaded with salmon, eggs, avocado, or whatever feels right at the moment. And of course, an oat flat white to top it off is a must!
When I was 15, I begged my dad for a camera because a classmate had gotten one as a gift, and I wanted to compete with her. Ironically, she didn’t become a photographer—but I did. Sometimes, a little bit of competition helps us discover our true passion.
