Mioara

pronounced “Me-Aura”

– you’re also welcome to call me Mia! I’ve been a full-time wedding photographer since 2010, and I truly can’t imagine doing anything else with my life. My style has evolved over the years but my intention is ever the same: to preserve how it felt to experience this incredible chapter of your lives, so your photos can bring you back to those moments again and again.

I spent the first part of my career in Metro Detroit before officially moving to Central Oregon in 2022. You’ll notice an abundance of locations throughout my portfolio because travel is basically my middle name! I’m always happy to photograph your story wherever it unfolds. These days, I’m deeply in love with the high-desert landscapes I now call home and feel so excited to work with both local couples and those gathering here from afar for their destination wedding.
