Meet Your
nostalgic photographer who believes in photos that make you cry happy tears.
The fleeting smiles, the nervous hands, the way sunlight falls across a table just right.
I’ve always been drawn to the quiet corners of a day, the moments people think no one is watching.
“candid” isn’t something you can fake — it’s something you earn by letting people breathe.
I believe that:
I was never drawn to the perfectly posed or overly planned. What moves me are the fleeting moments — wind in your hair, quiet laughter, the look that says everything without words. I photograph weddings because I believe in the power of remembering how it felt. For me, it’s never about curating beauty — it’s about preserving truth.
My non-negotiables? Warmth over stiffness. Presence over perfection. Photos that let you remember, not just see.
Based in Maine, I’m inspired by the salt air, shifting light, and stories that feel real. If you’re here for photos that feel like home — honest, heartfelt, and beautifully human — I think we’ll get along.
HI, I'm Lada —
a Maine wedding photographer who thinks “pose” is a four-letter word. I once photographed a couple’s vows in the rain and cried harder than they did.

She noticed all the little moments — the laughter, the stolen glances, the tiny details — and made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. When we saw our photos, we were amazed at how perfectly she captured not just what our day looked like, but what it felt like.
"Working with Lada was like having a friend capture our wedding day."

I always carry a notebook to jot down little stories at weddings—so every session tells a real narrative.

My favorite part of a wedding day? When everyone finally exhales after the ceremony.

I will always choose film grain over filters.
