Daria Ratliff Photography

by phone and then after meeting her in person, we were very impressed with her personality and vision. She was fun, very honest about how she works and very upfront about what to expect. We honestly did not have a clue about what we were doing, things like how many hours needed for our wedding, what to expect, where to look for professionals. She has gone out of her way to help us find the right vendors and the right people to work with - and all within our budget. We completely trusted her judgment when it came to finding locations for our engagement session and we had so much fun :-) At our wedding day we felt like almost she and her second shooter were not even there, but to our surprise, they were able to capture every single moment of our wedding with beauty, letting each guest and family feel comfortable being photographed. Our images were stunning and beyond our exceptions, and we could not praise her enough after our experience with her. Please, please do not look any further. She started strong and finished strong, and that's what you should be looking when hiring a photographer. It is in the way that they finish and wrap up your wedding that counts! Daria we love you!!! We could not have been happier with our experience! :-)

credible happy with Daria's work and can't recommend her enough.

lot), and asked to meet with my fiance and me. We met her at a local coffee shop and fell in love with her professionalism, personality, and photography skills. We were SOLD! I enjoyed taking my bridal portraits with her a month or so before the wedding and she quickly had them edited in order for me to display them at the wedding. As for the wedding day, she showed up early, left late, had great pose ideas, got to know my family and friends, and was always one step ahead of the schedule. She sent me five GORGEOUS sneak peek photos the day after our wedding. Trust me, you will be dying to see photos the next day and she provides beautiful ones. As my husband and I looked through the 700+ digital images we received from her a month after the wedding, we realized that she had captured all of our favorite, unique moments but we don't remember seeing her do that. She is like a ninja which is something you want in a wedding photographer. We never felt posed or interrupted... she perfectly captured our authentic wedding day moments. Thanks Daria!

nice person in general. Photography is her passion and she’s happy to work with you! She’s been so accommodating with my husbands crazy schedule which helped us out so much. It’s important to like your photographer because you spend so much time with her on your wedding day! Daria really is the best!

was so personable and made us feel completely comfortable. She was great at responding to questions and made the process so easy for my fiancé. If you are looking for a photographer Daria is your person. I am so grateful my fiancé found her.

r talents as a photographer--even helped us with shots when natural lighting was in short supply (our wedding didn't even start until after dark). But even more than this, she was always so calm. Anyone planning a wedding knows that things can get stressful. You can feel overwhelmed at times and also feel so invested in having the "perfect" picture to capture such a special event. Daria was there through it all and always helped to calm me and my mom down and totally gave us the peace to just enjoy every moment. I could not recommend her more highly. She is amazing and I am SO glad we decided to have her as our photographer. She does not disappoint!

res were beautiful. I would highly recommend working with Daria Ratliff for all of your photography needs.

you feel comfortable and natural. The pictures came out absolutely amazing because she does not over edit the natural beauty of the people and the surroundings. I am so glad I found her to use for my engagement photos and for my wedding day! Thank you for your wonderful talent Daria!

tures. I was happy to see her again. When it is all said and done... she is a fantastic photographer and made me look good too. She is also very easy going. At the wedding she was like part of the family.

g-quality photos. My husband has always hated taking photos, but even HE loved the experience because of Daria. She is obviously a miracle worker! Our wedding was almost a year ago and I seriously STILL think about the phenomenal experience it was all around with Daria. She is the kind of person that doesn't know a stranger, and her personality is so fun and sweet. She made us feel relaxed and comfortable from the getgo, and you can tell she truly cares about capturing exactly what you want. Not only the photos will stay with you forever, but the memories of knowing and working with her will, too. She collaborated so well with our videographer, hair/makeup artists, the whole shebang! I cannot say enough great things about her and I cannot recommend her enough. ❤️ I'm looking forward to our next photo session! And thanks to Daria, my husband will be up for it!

work with since our first e-mail contact. We had our engagement session done with her as well, which was included in her package and that was great because we got meet her and she got to know a little more. She made us feel special and at ease, without over directing us. She is fast relying to our e-mails, communication was great, and she had an amazing turnaround too! My only advice to brides starting planning their wedding is to please, please get a meeting with your potential vendors and then determine if they're a good fit. Daria was open to meet and brought her albums, canvas and other stuff to show us, making the entire experience great. We know we made the right choice by hiring her, not only because of her beautiful images, but also because her personality was a great fit as well.
