First and foremost, if you are reading my review I hope you know you are making the best decision in your life by selecting GoDaria Films as your videographer for your special event.
Why?
Let me tell you why...
Daria who is the owner of GoDaria Films is the best and kindest person you'll ever meet. She is incredibly gifted with her knowledge and expertise on videography capturing breath taking and awe-inspiring moments that are likely seen in movies.
Before the wedding, Daria set up a time to get-to-know us, dive into our vision and hopes for the wedding day and personalized that experience. We felt comfortable because she went over all the details and even behind the scene expectations. We felt ready because she answered all of our questions and listened and made notes on our preferences.
On the day of the wedding, I am super nervous and not confident on how I feel or look as a bride, Daria always seize the moment on reassuring me and reminding me that the videos are turning out incredible and better than she could imagined. She was super fun to work with, always smiling and reassuring. Her guidance is the best thing I've ever experienced, she taught me even in such short time on where to look, how to walk and do certain things to elevate the videos and highlight ourselves.
And when we finally received our video, let me just say, that I have to stop and pull over the side of the road, call my husband and tell him I am on my way and that we need to sit on the couch and watch what Daria got for us! Chris and I relive all the memories all over again. Tears running down both of our cheeks, and moments of bursting laughter. Our video said all the words we all weren't able to find during our wedding day. Her work captivated our hearts and opened up our minds. It made our soul feel deeply inspired!
But wait there's more!
Daria is also part of a huge organization called Wish Upon A Wedding, that on her spare time, she helps couples who are battling terminal illness such as cancer get their wedding or vows renewal video-graphed as her personal gift to them. She puts so much time, effort, dedication and resources on bringing those special moments to couples who may have lost their sense of hope, strength and confidence within themselves battling cancer.
And I am one of the recipient of her loving and most wonderful gift. Daria gave me the renewed sense of hope and strength through the videos she captured on my wedding day! I have a jaw cancer, currently going through extensive surgeries and treatment. On my wedding day, I do not feel as confident as I used to, but Daria's continued reassurance, sense of compassion and kindness is what really matters during those critical times. As a bride, you may not feel the best even on your wedding day, and it takes one person such as Daria to make a huge difference!
Because of Daria's kindness and gift, she was able to bring back the happiness we all long for as a family and peace even for just one day. Her work is truly a blessing and tremendous impact in all of our lives! We are so thankful for her compassion, unwavering commitment and service to humanity.
We love Daria and we pray for the continued success of her company as she continues to bless families like us something worth living for which is LOVE.
I hope you would share Daria's work to your friends, colleagues, loved-ones and families! Let's support her and her passion and I hope you all enjoy some of the pictures she captured on our wedding day!
With love,
Chris and Josy Mendez

From the moment we began our search for a wedding videographer, Daria immediately stood out. We wanted someone who could capture our day in an authentic, organic way—without the feel of an overly choreographed production—and focus on the details that mattered most to us. Daria delivered perfectly. Her work is absolutely stunning, and the video and clips felt uniquely tailored to us.
Having a wedding video was extremely important to us. We not only wanted someone who could bring our vision to life but also someone we would enjoy spending countless hours with—and Daria checked all those boxes. Her calm, positive energy, paired with her deep passion for what she does, made her an absolute joy to work with.
She went above and beyond in every aspect—always punctual, accessible, and incredibly thoughtful. We’re so grateful Daria was a part of our special weekend, and we can't wait to relive these moments for years to come. Choosing her was hands down the best decision we made, and you’ll feel the same when you hire her. We truly can’t thank her enough!
Daria was a dream to work with since the moment we reached out to her via instagram. She is extremely understanding to your vision and has a true passion for what she does. Her passion shows through her videography and I can’t express enough how happy we are with our wedding videos and our decision to work with Daria and her team!
Daria is incredible! We found GoDaria Films on Instagram and were instantly blown away by her work. From the start, Daria was so attentive and ready to go above and beyond. She captured every special moment so beautifully and with such attention to detail - everything from the emotions and little moments before/during our ceremony to the party on the dance floor later that night was perfect. Her work is creative, artful, beautifully edited, and captures all of the tender, loving, notes that you want to carry with you forever. There’s no cookie cutter formula – she makes sure that your wedding video is truly yours. We’re absolutely obsessed with everything that Daria created for us! We couldn't have asked for a better videographer than Daria (and her team) for our wedding. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we could have made. We can't thank her enough for everything – We 1000% recommend GoDaria Films to anyone looking for an amazing videographer!
My husband and I hired Daria as our wedding videographer, and it was the best decision we could have made! Videography was very important to me, and I not only wanted someone who could capture my vision for the day, but also someone I could imagine spending 8+ hours with, and Daria checked that off. She has such a calm and positive presence and is truly passionate about the work she does. Her professionalism and attention to detail did not go unnoticed and it’s evident in the quality of work that she produces. Wedding planning can be very stressful, but she made this part feel easy and stress-free. In the sea of wedding videographers, Daria stood out. Her videos felt unique and personalized to the couple. There were a couple of traditions and ideas I had for the wedding day, and Daria was so accessible and willing to make them happen. We are so happy that Daria was part of our team and can’t wait to revisit those memories for years to come. You are making the best decision in hiring Daria; you will not regret it!!
Daria is an immaculate profesional and we loved having her shoot our wedding. She did a fantastic job capturing the warmth and joy in the special moments from our big day, and we are so grateful that we will forever have these videos to look back on. In retrospect, the wedding day was really such a blur because of everything happening all at once, but Daria managed to slow down the moments that were important to us, and translate them in a beautiful way. Daria’s videos have a truly magical quality about them, and we fell in love with her style and the playful energy that she conveys in her films. She was also professional, responsive, and made us feel very comfortable even in front of all of the cameras, and we could not have imagined a better outcome.
Don’t hesitate to book Daria! She was really great to work with. The videos that we recieved were amazing and so touching to watch back with our family. People kept telling me the one thing they regret booking for their wedding was a videographer and honestly we did not have it budgeted. But we ended up making room and talking to a very skeptical parent about it as a gift. The memories Daria captured on video were so special. She was everywhere but she stayed behind the scenes if that makes sense. She also came all the way from Miami to shoot our wedding in Wallkill,Ny and worked with us when my dad got sick and we couldn’t book right away. I really appreciated everything that Daria did to capture Hannah and my most memorable moments.

Daria was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We were referred to her by another videographer and it was such a perfect fit! Videography was one of the last minute item added due to our budget and we are so glad we were able to have Daria and her team at our wedding to capture our day. She did such an amazing job and really understood how we wanted our day portrayed. A day of love family laugher and disco. She also worked with us on our music requests. She did more than we could have ever expected. Every time I watch our videos I can’t help but smile ear to ear.
We are so glad we found her.
She is talented, easy to work with, communicative, and a dream of a vendor.
Daria is an absolute joy and complete professional in every way. From our first zoom meeting she took the time to get to know us as a couple, ask us thoughtful questions and showed her excitement to be a part of our day. On our wedding day she made us and our families feel completely at ease and really captured the happiness and excitement of our intimate wedding day. Daria delivered 3 beautiful videos promptly that we have enjoyed looking back on and sharing with our loved ones. We would thoroughly recommend working with Daria!
THE VIBE!
Daria made sure to understand us as a couple. We absolutely LOVED our wedding teaser and video. Originally we didn’t care about the video and we thought we would be the only ones to see it but whenever people ask to see pictures of our wedding we show them the wedding teaser video ! It incorporates the fun feel we were going for, the love, the inclusivity. Such a great choice to go with Daria! One of the best decisions we made for our wedding !
My husband and I chose to work with Daria as our videographer, and we could not be happier with our decision. From the very start, Daria was incredibly easy to work with- she is always responsive, supportive, and knows how to direct the inquiry very well. I came into it with a very simple vision for the video, but Daria asked many questions to assess what kind of coverage we would like. I am confident that if we had requested a specific approach, Daria would have been able to accommodate very well. Before the wedding day, I've had several informative talks with Daria and she always knew just the right questions to ask. On the day, Daria and her assistant, Maria, were fully prepared to tackle our big wedding day. Daria brought only the best, positive energy and worked really well with all the other vendors to make the day smoother for us. She was there to readily corral our large bridal party and get all the coverage we wanted pre-ceremony and throughout the whole day. Daria was also amazing to have offered us a post-wedding mini-shoot which made for a lovely addition to the final video. As for our video- we absolutely love it. I had, foolishly assumed, that I wouldn't watch the video as often as I would turn to the photos, but I have rewatched our videos countless times already. The work was beautiful and Daria was so cooperative to make it exactly what we wanted. Highly Highly recommend working with Daria for your wedding day, or any other special occasion!
My wife was in charge of selecting a videographer and put a ton of research finding the best person for our style and budget. I can happily say she found the perfect person to capture us in our special wedding day through Daria. If you feel she may lack experience or reputation, trust that she more than makes up for it with effort and passion. My only regret is that my marriage is stable or else I'd use her for my next marriage.
Thank you Daria so much.

Planning a wedding can be super stressful and everyone knows video and photography can make or break your day!!!!!! Whelp….Daria was godsent from the inception. I randomly found Daria on Instagram via a hashtag. From start to finish she was professional, kind, and efficient. She expressed her concerns as I would be one of her first major weddings. Nothing about Daria’s quality of work exuded novice. Daria was also very timely and worked well with the other creatives on site that day. I didn’t have to worry about anything on the day of or prior. Smooth sailing all across the board. I would certainly hire Daria ten times and back when I renew my vows. She also captured the essence of our day so beautifully on our highlight video as well. I would strongly recommend her services to anyone inquiring. You won’t hardly be disappointed!!!!!! ✨
Planning a wedding isn't easy and planning it in 3 months is even harder, especially during a pandemic. The first thing we decided to book was a videographer that would be able to capture everything so that we would be able to share the experience with family and friends who couldn't attend. Daria made this whole process so easy and I really can't thank her enough!! Daria captured everything we were feeling, and went above and beyond what we expected!! She was almost as excited for our wedding as we were, which took away a lot of the pressure of being filmed. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!! -- J&P
I want to sincerely recommend Daria for your wedding video. Daria was super professional and hard-working. We purchased an Elopement Package, which included shooting up to 2 hours, video of the ceremony and 3 minutes story-video. I would like to point out that due to unforeseen circumstances, me and my spouse were actually late to the ceremony, but we still went over 2 hours of shooting and were not charged extra. Daria was very understanding and considerate. Also, during our wedding day, the weather was more than 90 degrees (30 Celsius), but Daria was active and very encouraging. During the shoot, Daria gave us professional advice as to how to pose and behave in the video. The video came out really good - the music, quality and montage were perfect. I would 100% recommend Daria’s services!

Amazing videos!!!
Ah Daria what can I say??? To begin, my initial communication with Daria was very positive! Found her on FB literally less than a month before our elopement (Ugh! Thanks, COVID-19!) and thank goodness she was available on our big day! And yep, we didn't meet until our wedding day! :)
I explained to her what we were seeking for video and she was not only prompt with her responses to my questions, she was very kind, flexible, and answered all my questions.
Daria was thoroughly committed to making sure we were happy and comfortable in every way. Feel free to e-mail her to see our wedding highlight and video, too. So so beautiful! :)
What an amazing wedding video Daria created for us! We had a small wedding in Brooklyn and didn't want to get a videographer at first, but then changed our mind very last minute. We were able to book Daria on a short notice, and that was the best decision ever! She is such a nice person and was very professional during the day. Daria created a teaser video just a few days after the wedding which was great for sharing on social media. The highlight video that she created was very dynamic, just the way we wanted it. I highly recommend Daria!
