Darsha
& Joel.
We’re
a swim race, microwaved Trader Joe's lentils, one of us literally falling into a cactus (like actually bad), and a 30-foot cliff jump into the ocean.
As kids, that love for fun and chaos took me into surfing and Joel into skateboarding. We achieved a lot in our sports (national titles, signature skateboards, *said with the utmost humility*) and we would not be the same, definitely not as tan, without the influence of those cultures.
We picked up cameras as a sunburnt little surfer girl and a sweaty little sk8r boy who had to make content for sponsors.
When we met, fell in love, and realized we both had similar backgrounds in creativity and surf/skate culture, we decided to do what could either have been a disaster or a Godsend for newlyweds...we started a business together.
Thankfully, it's been the latter. We absolutely love working as a photo and film team and feeding off one another's strengths. Joel will be responding to your emails and editing your photos while I am laughing at my own jokes on our social media and editing your wedding film.
