Hi, hello!

I'm Darina - a Norfolk wedding photographer based in a small village on the North Norfolk coast.

I photographed my first wedding in 2009, when I realised I love capturing love. Since then, I have also grown to love capturing deep connections, beautiful spaces, and heartfelt moments.

Beyond photography, I’m all about slow living and soaking in life’s simple joys. You’ll often find me sea swimming, exploring the outdoors, drinking flat whites with my love in a cosy cafe, or tending to my little allotment, where I swap my camera for muddy hands and homegrown veggies. These moments of connection—with nature, with people, with the present—are what inspire my work the most.

I’m also a dog mama to the naughtiest sprocker spaniel called Moka!
