FOUNDERS
Daria, Co-owner, Head of Creative & Visual Communication
I always dreamed of being a marketing guru, inspired by the success stories of Nike, PayPal, and Airbnb. But fate led me to the wedding industry. 15 years ago, I started my journey as a wedding planner and fell in love with it.
Fun fact: I was so passionate about my job that I couldn’t help but share funny and romantic stories wherever I went—at the doctor’s office, in line for coffee, at parties, or even at customs, creating a buzz. And I still do this today with WEDVIBES.MEDIA! The best part? I moved to the US, got my marketing degree at UCLA, and now I get to combine my 2 favorite worlds: weddings and marketing!
Daria, what do you love the most about your work?
What I love most about my work is being part of a groundbreaking journey in a conservative industry. Seeing it evolve and knowing that WEDVIBES.MEDIA plays a role in this change is incredibly fulfilling. This work allows me to tap into my creativity and support the creative expressions of others. It’s about promoting love in all its forms and contributing to something truly beautiful and meaningful. Being able to witness and foster this kind of growth and creativity is what makes my work so special to me.
Alina, Co-owner, Head of Commercial Strategy
I moved to LA for a Hollywood career change after leading marketing at Nestle and Ferrero, graduated in Film Business from UCLA, and worked at a talent agency. But I discovered my true passion in the wedding industry, where I found the perfect blend of creativity and impact.
Alina, what do you enjoy most about weddings?
I’m all about the cake! Ha-ha! I adore the trend of turning a wedding day into a multi-day experience, complete with multiple outfits and vibrant colors. For me, the highlight is always the dancing—I’m usually the first on the dance floor, sparking a celebration that brings everyone together for a fun-filled time.
COMMUNITY & CONTENT TEAM
Helen, Editor-in-chief
In high school, I was torn between becoming a surgeon and a journalist—I’ve always had varied interests that engage both hemispheres of my brain. In the end, my love for words won out. Instead of journalism, I opted for a more classical education and earned a BA in Philology. This completely transformed my understanding of the text and its content, taught me how to work with complex texts, and also introduced me to many beautiful masterpieces of world literature.
Helen, can you share what details of weddings you find most enchanting?
I do love intimate weddings set in the woods or by the ocean, adorned with unique little details and splashes of green, blue, yellow, and lilac—perhaps my favorite shades. Color brings joy! Also, with three years of experience working in a department store office, I highly recommend choosing a perfume for your special day. The scent will always transport you back to your celebration every time you smell it.
Jane, Art Director
Ever since I was a kid, I was glued to the TV, mesmerized by fashion shows, and soaking up everything about beauty, fashion, and art like a sponge. Fast forward a few years, I graduated from the Faculty of Humanities, where I caught the literature bug big time. Now, I’m a visual maniac and a certified bookworm, with a passion for pretty things and page-turners!
Jane, in your opinion, what’s the most crucial detail that makes a wedding shine?
Every couple has their own unique story, a place where they dream of sealing their love with vows, a favorite song that the bride will walk down the aisle to, or a joyful dance with friends from their favorite movie at the end of the celebration. And for me, it is those special moments, their personal spark, that shines brightly.
Aisa, Deputy Chief Editor
I have lived in 4 countries, speak 3 languages, and have 12 years of experience in Public Relations across various fields. Now I lead the Community Team, write articles for our media, and assist dear members with publications.
Aisa, what do you find most fulfilling about working with the WEDVIBES.MEDIA community?
Definitely, the opportunity to connect with so many talented and passionate wedding professionals from around the world. Seeing their unique visions and hard work come to life through our platform is incredible. The sense of community and shared purpose at WEDVIBES makes every day inspiring and exciting. And I’m always so grateful for the feedback from our members!
Anna, Content & Community Manager
I’m creating beauty and helping our members showcase their best work. I started my journey in the wedding industry working at my sister’s wedding boutique, and for the past four years, I’ve been completely immersed in this world. I couldn’t be happier about it.
What’s your favorite wedding tradition?
Some of my favorite moments are the first looks with the groom and parents—those touching, emotional moments always get me. Another moment that always stays with me is the bride’s first dance with her father. And, of course, watching the videos and the vow parts always brings tears to my eyes! Each wedding of our members has given me a vision of what my dream wedding could look like.
Ayan, Content & Community Manager
I have my dream job. I spend my days curating and sharing inspiring galleries with our followers. My role also involves engaging with our community to ensure their experience is smooth, enjoyable, and filled with inspiration. Coming from the Caucasus, where weddings are deeply ingrained in our DNA, I’ve always been captivated by these celebrations.
Ayan, what do you love most about weddings?
I love the idea of crafting the best day of life, whether through a grand festivity or an intimate elopement just for two. What I love most is their celebration of traditions and heritages worldwide. I’m fascinated by how diverse cultural elements create a tapestry of inspiring unity.
TALENTS TEAM
Alexa, Head of Talents Team
I scout and unveil extraordinary talents, empowering them to elevate their businesses and shine on the global stage. I’m a Customer Success Management professional with over 10 years of dynamic experience leading strategic, customer-focused initiatives and driving revenue growth at major global media companies like The Walt Disney Company and Universal Pictures. I know everything about making magic happen.
Do you prefer grand weddings or intimate and cozy celebrations?
As a guest, I have a preference for grand weddings with a large guest list. Grand weddings often come with their own unique charm and can be incredibly memorable experiences. With a larger guest list, you have the opportunity to meet and interact with a wider range of people, including friends, family, and potentially new acquaintances. Also, bigger weddings often have more extensive entertainment options, such as live bands, DJs, dancers, and other performers, which can enhance the overall experience. And the key to an unforgettable wedding is the people, genuine emotions, and bubbles!
Valerie, Talent Manager
As a Talent Manager, I’m looking for talented wedding professionals worldwide who, like a perfect puzzle piece, will complement the aesthetics of WEDVIBES.MEDIA. I’m also guiding them on how they can grow with us and create a stunning portfolio at our Editorials. Dubai has been my home for 14 years, where my passion for photography started. Over the last 8 years, I’ve had the pleasure of capturing weddings for couples from all around the world. Currently, I’m learning sailing in my free time.
What captivates you most about weddings?
When it comes to weddings, what captivates me most is the beautiful blend of modernity and tradition. I find it truly heartwarming when couples honor their heritage by infusing cultural elements into their contemporary, non-traditional celebrations.
Sandra, Talent Manager
As Talent Manager, I seek out the industry’s most talented wedding professionals and invite them to join our exclusive community. I have 10 years of experience working with an international community in China/Asia, fluent in Chinese.
What advice would you give to brides?
I planned my own wedding in three weeks and wore the “little white dress” by Valentino, never regretting it. My advice for all the brides: Draw inspiration from trends, but follow your heart and choose what truly resonates with you for your special day!
PRODUCTION TEAM
Olia, Head of the Production Department
As the head of the production department, I lead in developing comprehensive mood boards, meticulously preparing, and coordinating editorial shoots. I ensure every detail is attended to, from the initial concept to the final execution, all while providing unwavering support to my dynamic team.
Olia, what drives your passion for editorial planning?
My goal is to bring a unique and artistic vision to life, transforming each project into a stunning and unforgettable experience. Since 2012, I have been deeply immersed in the world of wedding planning, playing a key role in growing my own wedding agency. My passion for creating unforgettable experiences has led me to work in 10 different countries, where I have executed projects that elevate ordinary shoots into extraordinary, memorable events. This experience helps me now at WEDVIBES.MEDIA.
Valerie, Production Manager
As the Production Manager, I oversee and manage the editorials around the world. This role involves meticulous planning, coordination with international teams, and managing every detail from inception to completion to produce visually captivating content. With 5 years of experience as a wedding planner, I’ve become intimately familiar with every aspect of the industry. I know the “kitchen” of wedding planning inside and out, ensuring that every detail is perfectly orchestrated. I also have a keen understanding of what couples truly need, and I bring that insight to our editorials.
Valerie, what do you love most about weddings?
What I love most about weddings is the sincerity of the moment and the incredible opportunity to be part of one of the most significant events in a couple’s life. I cherish the chance to bring to life ideas that I haven’t yet had the opportunity to realize in my own wedding.
