WEDDING FILMMAKER & PHOTOGRAPHER
story.by.daria
Hi, I’m Daria Ashland — a wedding filmmaker and photographer based in Providence, Rhode Island, traveling anywhere love takes me. My work is all about atmosphere and emotion: the way light falls through trees, the way laughter lingers in the air, the way a fleeting glance can say more than words.
My films aren’t about staged perfection — they’re about truth. The big embraces, the quiet tears, the warmth of golden hour. I weave together cinematic imagery and natural moments, creating films that feel timeless and deeply personal.
I’ve been holding a camera since I was 14 (I’m 29 now), and what started as a teenage obsession has grown into a craft I’ve dedicated my life to. Storytelling through film lets me capture more than just how a wedding day looked — it lets me preserve how it felt. ☾⋆⁺₊
✨ Inclusive storytelling — all love, every story
🌙 LGBTQ+ safe space
🔥 No room for hate, ever
If you’re dreaming of a film that feels cinematic, honest, and unapologetically you — let’s create it together.
