Meet the Team Behind Morina Photography

We’re Dona and Nik Morina—the heart behind Morina Photography—and together with our lead photographer David, we’ve spent the last decade turning fleeting moments into lasting art.

What started as a love for storytelling has evolved into a full-time devotion to capturing weddings with honesty, soul, and style. We don’t believe in stiff poses or cookie-cutter shots. Instead, we connect with every couple, learning what makes your story yours, and capturing it in a way that feels effortless and true to you.

We’ve built a team that reflects our values: empathy, creativity, and quiet confidence. Our approach is calm but intentional, artistic but grounded. We’re here to photograph your day the way it deserves to be remembered—with care, with clarity, and with meaning.

Our couples often tell us it just felt right—and that’s exactly how it should be.

We don’t just capture

images; we delve into

the heart of raw

emotions and fleeting

moments of magic.

Each photograph

becomes a window

to timeless beauty,

crafted to reflect your unique

LOVE STORY.
