GET TO KNOW THE PERSON BEHIND THE CAMERA
hi there, i’m Lada!
I‘m so happy you’re here! The fact that you are reading this right now shows me that you value connections and getting to know people, and I’m so honored that you’d like to get to know a little about me!
My photography and videography journey began when my brother gifted me my first camera for my birthday in the summer of 2020. The next day, I took my camera to the beach in Ocean City, NJ to photograph everything I saw. The birds, the waves, the footprints in the sand trailing off into the distance. Soon, I started to photograph surfers, the sunrise, my friends, and new couples in my friend group. Before I knew it, I photographed my first wedding and fell in love with the beauty of a wedding day. I never could’ve imagined where I’d be today, documenting love stories all over for a living and meeting so many amazing people through it.
Now, being married to my sweet husband Jared, I connect with love stories at all stages in a deeper way than ever before. I love love, and I love the fact that we can love one another because God loved us first. (1 John 4:19.) The love that Jesus has for us is the driving force behind why I do what I do, and I am grateful every day that He saved me from darkness and showed me what true love is (and He wants to show you too!). <3
When you book with me, you’re not only getting a photographer or videographer to capture this season or moment, you’re gaining a friend. You’re gaining a witness to some of your most memorable or important times of your life. I don’t take that lightly! When you book with me, you’re gaining someone in your corner who is cheering you on in all the ups and downs that come with living in this world. As much as I value maintaining a level of professionalism, I believe that connecting with you as a human being and as a friend comes first. We are all living for the first time, and need each other!
