To me, photography is still a kind of magic – to look at your photos after five, ten, twenty years, and feel the emotions you felt that day, remember the love that surrounded you, & the unbelievable youth, optimism, and style you embodied in that moment in time.
I approach your wedding photos from this place of nostalgia, with the idea that these photos are not just about now, but will be the heirlooms that you value forever. In life and with photography, I am awed by the beauty that lives in the most humble of things. I photograph what is felt, not just what's seen.
I was raised in the mountains of Colorado, on a small farm owned by my grandparents, who lived next door. I spent my youth running free, collecting various sticks, bugs, and rocks, surrounded by the people who loved me most. Forever a deeply adventurous soul, I followed my heart and moved to NYC in my early 20s and forged a life there for over a decade. I learned grit, efficiency, and a deep trust of my own abilities and intuition, and NYC is just as much a part of me as the optimistic, bright-eyed, fascinated farm girl that came form Colorado.
These days, I travel often between California, New York and all over Mexico to photograph people in love.

I first fell in love with Mexico in 2016 when attending a creative residency in Oaxaca. I was completely taken with the warmth, textures, and colors, food and energy of Mexico, but little did I know my obsession was only beginning. After my time there, I spent a quick but incredible week in Mexico City and I knew then that there was no other city for me. Now, in my three years of living in CDMX, I feel deeply content, continually challenged, and most like myself here. It's my greatest joy to share the beauty of Mexico with others.

In this life, everything is a passing moment.
How lucky to be able to hold onto those moments.
How lucky to be the person that gives that gift to others.
– Bridget & Peter
Dacia was the absolute loveliest to work with.
– Kara & Vince
There is not a single image we received that we did not like.
From our first meeting with her we felt extremely comfortable with Dacia capturing our wedding day. She has a genuine interest in getting to know her clients and working to bring out their personalities. She gives you the space to be who you are but knows when to step in and direct to bring your best to the camera."

There are people you meet in
life that you instantly feel
connected to.
Dacia is one of those people. From our first meeting before our wedding, we felt comfortable knowing we were going to get a record of our day that felt genuine and beautiful."
