About Ilya Doro Photo

Born and raised in Portland, Oregon. I’ve had a love for photo and video ever since I got a hold of my dad’s camcorder at ten years old. When I moved to North Port, Florida in 2021, I decided to start taking this photography thing a little more serious. Fast forward a few years, I now do this professionally.

When I’m not behind the camera, you can catch me making music, serving + worshipping the Lord at my local church, or spending time with family. I give all glory to God for everything I do,my faith is what drives me. I create for the one who once Created me!

I like to describe my shooting style as “in the moment” and genuine, while still having that classiness and posed elegance here and there. In a wedding context, I love to let the couple enjoy their day and focus on being in the moment, rather than focusing on the photos; this is how I do my job best.

When it comes to editing, I would say it is where my creativity shows most. As someone who appreciates film photography, my work reflects its influence and inspiration in the editing. I also love to do whatever it takes to make my images have a certain depth, or feeling, if you will; often using motion, texture, and blur to my advantage.

I take much joy in turning your love stories into art. They are more than just images, they are a time capsule of life and love, for your future selves and for your future children. I hope I get the honor of capturing your memories. :)
