Ideally a minimum of 9-12 months before the wedding. During the summer season (June-September) my calendar fills up very quickly, especially for weekends. Of course, if you’re writing less in advance – it’s always worth asking, as there are vacant dates or layoffs. For outdoor sessions, a few weeks in advance is usually enough.

Yes – and this happens very often! Couples who were married elsewhere in Poland (or abroad) come to the mountains to do their honeymoon session here. And very well – the Tatras are absolutely fabulous.
You don’t have to be “models” – just be yourself. I will help you feel at ease, take care of the light, weather and safety. Plein air in the mountains is an adventure, but it’s also a lot of fun – and it stays for a lifetime in your album and memories.
You can find an offer for an outdoor session in the mountains here: Outdoor offer

This is one of the most frequently asked questions and… one of my favorites!
Here are my tried-and-true spots (for different fitness levels!):
Rusinowa Polana – my number 1 spot. Getting there is not difficult, and the view… knocks you out.
Valley Chocholowska– peaceful, green, romantic. You can take pictures by the creek, rocks, in the forest.
Wiktorówki – a climatic chapel and a forest like a fairy tale.
Lapszanka – less well-known places, but with the beautiful line of the Tatra Mountains in the background.
Kasprowy Wierch – impressive, but requires time and…. patience (especially in the season with crowds).
It all depends on how much time you have, what time we take pictures and what the weather will be like. I advise, plan and often organize alternatives – so that you have maximum satisfaction.

It happens. The Tatra Mountains are unpredictable – they can surprise you with a sudden fog, rain or wind that shifts your hairstyle in a second 😉
But! I always have a plan B.
I happened to postpone the session by one day, change the location to a more sheltered one or…. take advantage of the weather. Fog can create a fairy tale setting, and light rain gives the photos a cinematic feel. The key is your attitude and confidence – then it is possible to conjure up frames regardless of the weather.

Yes – take a peek at the post I created and update it all the time:
Wedding halls in Podhale

Depending on the package, I usually give away 300 to 800 photos from the entire wedding reportage. If there is an engagement session or an outdoor session on another day – the number increases. All photos are carefully selected, processed and prepared for printing. You get them in the form:
Online gallery (password-protected, with the ability to share with family),
On a flash drive in an aesthetic box (the flash drive is at your request)
photo album (if you choose a package with an album),
and in addition – I can send selected frames as a teaser just a few days after the wedding 💌

Of course! After you hand over the photos, you can independently indicate the frames that you like the most, which should go into the album. If you prefer, I can prepare the first layout of the album myself – then you approve or make corrections. I make sure that the photo album is consistent, elegant and tells the story of the day in a seamless way.
I make albums on high-quality photo paper, with thick pages and personalized cover. It’s a keepsake for years – seriously, many couples say it’s one of the things that really stays with them the longest.

I start with the preparations – often as early as the bride’s makeup. I enter quietly, say hello, take the first few frames of details – dress, shoes, rings, invitations. Then I document what is currently going on, the emotions of the mother, the laughter of the witness, the tension in the groom. What’s important – I do not direct any moment. I do not interfere in your preparations 🙂
The ceremony is the moment where I act like a shadow – I always know where to position myself to capture your looks, the moment of the vows, the rings, the blessing of the parents. I believe that this is one of the most important parts of the day, and I do my best not to miss anything.
During the wedding I catch the moments – the first dance, the cake, the party, the dancing. If there are speeches, touching moments – I am there. I try to document the events so that years later I can recreate them step by step. It’s not just “pretty pictures” – it’s your story.

Definitely! And I highly recommend it. Such a 20-30 minute “hot” session (preferably around sunset) is a great way to get away from the hustle and bustle of the wedding and be together for a while.
You don’t have to have an idea – I know where to place you, how to guide you. Most often we go literally “around the corner” of the hall – into the field, into the forest, by the river. Such a micro session often gives unique frames, because the emotions are fresh and authentic.

Yes – and I really recommend it.
First: we get to know each other better. You’ll see how I work, what the session looks like, how you feel in front of the lens.
Second: you can use the photos from such a session for invitations, guest book, slides at the wedding.
Third: it’s a fun adventure, often combined with a trip to the mountains, coffee and laughter. We don’t pretend anything – you are simply together, and I catch the frames.

First of all – comfort and a good attitude. This is not a fashion show or a wall. It’s about your closeness, emotions, slackness. My tips?
✅ Comfortable shoes – preferably trekking or sports shoes. Put on heels only for the moment of shooting, and then to the backpack.
✅ Layered clothing – the mountains can be capricious, so it’s a good idea to have something warm and light.
✅ Water and a snack – seriously, even a short walk can give you a bite, especially in a wedding dress.
✅ Kleenex , bobby pins, powder, mattifying blotting papers – quick fixes can come in handy.
✅ Powerbank and phone with location – in case you need it.
✅ Good attitude – it’s a must. Don’t stress, don’t tense up – I will help, hint, guide.
I have created a separate, comprehensive post on this topic: Wedding Plein Air in the Tatra Mountains

At ease, but with a plan 💡
We start with a contact: message, phone, Zoom or meeting for coffee (if we are nearby). We talk about your plans, needs, questions. If we agree – we sign a contract and you pay a deposit. The date is booked.
Before the wedding, I send you a short questionnaire: times, locations, highlights of the day, people to photograph, any surprises.
On the wedding day, I am on site earlier, I act sensitively and respectfully – and always stay until the end of the agreed time.
After the wedding you get:
online gallery (password protected),
flash drive (if you wish)
photo-album (if it was included in the package),
access to help, photo selection, consultations – until the very end.
I am with you not only as a photographer, but also often as a support, advisor, a calm head when stress strikes 😉

Comfortable footwear is a must – bet on trekking or athletic shoes for the approach to the chosen location.
“Onion ” outfits – the weather in the mountains can change in minutes. Even on a sunny day, it’s a good idea to have an extra light layer on hand that you can easily put on between shots.

This is completely normal! Really – many people tell me: “I don’t like to be photographed”, “I never come out well in photos” or “He always has a strange face”.
But… 99% of the time I hear afterwards: “But it came out great! It’s really YOU!”.
I don’t set you up artificially. I give you the space to be yourselves. We talk, we laugh, we walk in front of each other. I don’t tell you to pretend to be a cover model – just to be yourself. And it works.

Definitely! And honestly? These are the most beautiful moments in the mountains and beyond.
East – it’s peace, quiet, no one is there. The light is soft, romantic, atmospheric.
West – golden hour, warm light, spectacular colors of the sky.
It requires an early exit/walk and good logistics (sometimes even leaving the day before) – but the results are worth it.
Some of my favorite photos were taken just when you had to get up at 3:30 in the morning and set off with a headlamp in your backpack 🌄

Because photos are the only thing that stays with you for a lifetime.
Flowers will wither, the dress will go into the closet, the cake will be eaten. But the photos – the good, real ones – will come back to you for years.
They are the ones that will remind you:
how you smiled looking at each other at the altar,
how your grandfather laughed at the table,
how the wind blew your gown against the backdrop of the Tatra Mountains,
how you held hands on the way to the church,
how you danced as if the world outside the hall didn’t exist.
A well done wedding reportage is not a set of ‘pretty pictures’

I won’t answer directly. Because not every Couple has to be “mine”.
But if you feel that:
you want a photographer who doesn’t set you up, just sees you,
you like mountains, nature and the atmosphere of the Tatra Mountains,
you want photos with soul, not just “for Instagram”,
you value honesty, sense of humor and cooperation without pressure…
…then maybe, indeed, you’ve come to the right place. I’m not perfect. Sometimes I will say an unfunny joke, Sometimes I have my clothes in the mud up to my knees. But I know when to keep quiet, when to make a joke and when to catch THIS frame.

Of course. If I have a busy date I am happy to recommend other photographers.
