About Morina Photography

Art that lingers. Stories that stay

We’re not here to pose you, we’re here to witness you.

At Morina Photography, we believe your wedding deserves more than pretty pictures. It deserves truth. Beauty. Soul. The kind of imagery that looks like art, but feels like you.

We’re Nik and Dona Morina, partners in life and behind the lens, and together with our talented teammate David Alonso, we’ve built a studio rooted in deep connection, intentional storytelling, and visual poetry. Our work is emotional and editorial, refined yet raw, shaped by years of curiosity, craft, and love.

Whether we’re photographing a black-tie celebration in Manhattan or an elopement along the Amalfi coast, we approach each wedding like a living, breathing story filled with subtle glances, quiet gestures, and loud, messy joy. No two weddings feel the same. That’s the point.

We’re not here for trends. We’re here for the feeling you’ll return to, decades from now, when everything else fades.

Let’s make art that lives for generations
