WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
CONGRATULATIONS!
If you are browsing through this section of my website you are either newly engaged or just set the date for your big day. CONGRATULATIONS!
I know it’s hard to choose the right photographer for your wedding and you are now probably deciding between your top 5 and it seems everyone is the same. I was there. I’ll try to show you why I am a good choice of yours to consider.
Over the years I experiences a lot of communication fails and this website was made to explain the most of this topic before you contact me directly.
Who am I?
I am the guy in photo taking selfie with my camera, while signing the wedding papers for a couple.
I am 40 year old introvert, who while working transforms to an easy-going guy talking to your relative like they’ve known each other for years. I am a perfectionist, who plans everything and keeps couple well informed before, during and after the wedding. I am far from arrogant and everything but conservative.
The nature of my job allows me to be a full-time dad (9 and 2), I can be there for them at any time and that’s why I love my job.
I discovered photography when I was little, while my dad often had a dark room in our bathroom. Since then I love photography and I would be happy to share my vision also with you!
MY STYLE
I adapt to the light conditions and your personalities during your wedding day and I am always prepared for any scenario.
There are many terms used to describe “my style” of natural wedding photography, so it can be a little confusing when researching into the different types and styles of wedding photographers for your day. My discreet approach to a more authentic and honest style as a wedding photographer is often created using natural and available light only and is most commonly described as ‘reportage wedding photography’ or ‘documentary wedding photography’.
In essence, these terms describe the same fundamental, candid style of wedding photography – one that doesn’t dictate or direct but simply observes and discreetly captures genuine, un-staged and spontaneous moments as they unfold, naturally.
RIGHT MOMENTS
Other than the odd, pre-planned traditional family group photo, I typically spend 95% of the wedding day photographing real and meaningful moments between family and friends. Weddings are full of these beautiful and often fleeting moments – elements that depict the true essence of a wedding day.
A skilled natural-style wedding photographer is one that you shouldn’t notice too much and yet has the competence to spend the entire day in the thick of the action photographing uninhibited interactions between family and friends. Importantly, a photographer should have no impact on the atmosphere or flow of the day itself.
If you would like to talk with me about my style and approach, check my availability or simply chat through your photographic requirements.

Thank you for capturing the candid moments so well, you are a true professional and a pleasure to work with!
We have fabulous memories to last a lifetime.

FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
Hundreds of hours in a studio and on location projects without proper lighting taught me using artificial light as a good helper, when the natural light is not ideal.
My endless supply of on camera and off camera flashes, continuous lights and variety of light shapers can make your wedding photo look like it’s from a dream or a movie poster and will be a nice addition to my preferred, natural style.
My goal is to keep as much ambient light as possible.
I am ready for your creative ideas indoors, outdoors and to take photos long into the night.
ENGAGEMENT PHOTO
Planned engagement photo is part of most Irish wedding packages. My sessions are relaxed, creative and a bit adventurous, if you are up for it.
Or if you would like to surprise her, I offer a well planned surprise proposal, including the existence of me under cover. Hidden in the bushes for example.:))

SECOND SHOOTER/ VIDEOGRAPHER
I prefer to work with my wife Kamila, who knows my style and movement and she is often my second shooter.
A second shooter is important on weddings, where is a large crowd of guests to capture, more people from more angles or the couple wants continuous reportage from the venue while the primary photographer is away with them taking a location portrait.
We do not offer videography as a team, but I can easily hire videographer to me or recommend one.

PRICE LIST
Wedding photography packages in Ireland start at €500 for a short wedding and €1500 for a full day. I created them simple as much as possible, based on historical inquiries and covering most of scenarios in recent years. That does not mean I am unable to satisfy your individual photography needs and I will make you a quotation based on information provided. My pricing options are reflecting how I evaluate my art of work in real time and can change overnight. Once I confirm the pricing with you, possible increase in my pricing does not affect you.

FAQs
Do you make photo albums or photo books? How much for it?
Yes, I design them. I highly recommend a photo book, because you have a full control of the final look – you will see pre-print data. Pricing depends on number of photos (=pages) and size. I rather manage it after wedding separately (Basic and Gold packages).
Do you offer other printing solutions?
Yes, anything you can imagine. Hard prints only, framed photos, canvases, photos behind acrylic glass, metal prints etc.
It’s necessary to book you a meal on our wedding day?
No. I used to the fact I don’t get the food during wedding day. It’s quite common and I bring my own meal with me. It’s up to you if you would treat your photographer as a VIP.
Is the deposit refundable?
No, if you change your mind. Yes, if I terminate the contract.
Is the deposit part of the final price?
Yes, of course.
If someone from our guests come to you during our wedding for an individual photo will you charge him anything extra?
OMG why? Of course not.
