So what should I start with? This was no ordinary wedding. From the moment Josie and Matt contacted me for the first time, I knew it was going to be perfect. Tuscan Villa, closest family and friends, loads of pasta and pizza. It doesn’t get much better than that, let me tell you! The wedding venue was La Selva Giardino del Belvedere, cozy italian villa, in the heart of Tuscany. This place is now forever the place where Josie and Matt got married. The fact that there was thunderstorm sounds during the ceremony only made it more special! Luckily, the weather improved later, so all the guests could enjoy great italian feast outdoors – in the most romantic table setting ever.

After the feast there was time por portrait session with just Josie and Matt. I absolutely love how it turned out, with beautiful olive trees and Tuscan Hills in the background. You’ll see it just in a moment!

This kind of wedding – without any rush, all in one place, is something I absolutely love. The Italian setting of La Selva Giardino del Belvedere made it even more amazing. Getting ready in cozy villa interiors, ceremony at the amphitheatre and reception under the stars. That’s the dream! Please seat back and enjoy the story of Josie and Matt and their Tuscan Villa wedding.

Let’s start with the fact, that Wales is probably on the top of the most beautiful countries list and it’s so green, even in September, that it almost blinds you. I bet this is what made Grace and Rupert decide on Wales as a location for their wedding. This, and the jaw-dropping venue – Plas Dinam. It’s a country house, located among the Welsh hills, within the close proximity to the church, where G&R decided to get married in a traditional ceremony.

But was their wedding really that traditional? It was in the sense of traditional wedding outfits and the church element, but at the same time, it was 100% what the couple wanted and it reflected their perfonalities in the most natural way, you could say it wasn’t a “traditional” wedding at all!

There were 150 guests at the wedding, yet it felt like an intimate gathering of the closest friends and family. Everyone was smiling, cheering and just having a good time and I mean everyone! In the church they were singing, cheering, dancing and it just wasn’t traditional at all! I loved it. You could feel it’s all about the joy and the emotions and just staying true to what you want.

After the ceremony, back at Plas Dinam, it was reception time, group pictures with the most amazing view ever, couples portraits and then dinner and a party in the Old Stables, which looked so amazing with the beautiful flower decorations by Joanna Game Flowers.

After dinner, the party started and it was seriously on fire. I can’t imagine this day going any better than it did. Grace and Rupert – you are rockstars. I’m so glad that it was me, who captured your wedding day. And of course big shout out to Alpaka Wedding Videography, who’s working on a kickass wedding video. I can’t wait. Seriously. Enjoy the story of a wedding in Plas Dinam!

Oh! We also did an engagement session with Rupert and Grace on the Old Harry Rocks!

The idea for the day was for everything to happen without any rush, celebrating with friends and family and enjoying gorgeous weather that England had offer us that day. The preparations took place in spacious rooms of the venue. It’s hard to find interiors with so much character and style as those in Butley Priory. You’ll see them in the pictures later! The ceremony was held in the back garden of the venue and it was really the best place for it! Later on, there was cocktail hour with an awesome Check One Music Band playing outside.

Soon, the dinner was ready and evening guests were invited to the Great Hall, which looked like taken straight out of Harry Potter movies. I kid you not, I wouldn’t be surprised if the paintings in the hall started talking! They probably did after I left!

And lastly – the party. How cool it is to have a party with all the coloured lights in the great hall? You can take a look below and see what I mean! I’ll remember this Butley Priory wedding for a long time, that’s for sure! Big thanks to Jen and Darryl! You may remember their engagement session in London from last year. Time does really fly, huh?

This wedding was the perfect combination of what I like the most – gorgeous surroundings, outdoor ceremony, slow wedding, without stress and hurry. Marta was ready way before the ceremony so we had quite a lot of time to chat about Harry Potter and Game of Thrones (not mentioning the ending of course, because ehhhh). Perfect day!

Alex’s and Jean’s wedding day started quite calmly. They prepared in seperate rooms with their closest friends. The first look happened at the altar, when Alex’s dad gave her away. After a massive ovation after the ceremony, the reception started. First – cocktail hour outside (on the hottest day of summer!). The guest had fun, chatting and dancing to the music played by the wonderful Golden Collective band. You could feel the energy! After that, the guests moved to the barn for speeches and dinner. The party that happened afterwards was absolutely the best party ever. It felt like a rock concert with people just having fun and not caring about anything else! What a day!

Take a look at who made that day really special for Alex and Jean and enjoy the pictures!

Wedding in Folwark Wasowo

Kat and Joe are a very special couple. They live in London, but they decided to have their wedding in Poland, where the Bride was born. Their families and friends both from England and Poland gathered together to celebrate the most important day of their lives. And what a day that was! Everything was planned to the smallest detail. I was really impressed how they managed to do that living abroad and without the help from wedding planners!

Kat and Joe’s wedding guests came to Folwark a day early and had time to meet other guests and have a good night sleep before a looong night. The venue grounds are really big, so they also had hand-drawn maps (drew by the mum of the Bride). All maps and signposts were made in a “Lord of the Rings” style (you’ll see in the pictures!). Let’s add the fact, that Kat and Joe made their rings all by themselves in a little place called “The Quarter Workshop”. That’s what I call Lord of the Rings style!

Kat made her way to the alter with four bridesmaids, all in the same dresses. Joe on the other hand had an army of groomsmen by his side. The Ceremony (held in 2 languages) was beautiful and moving. Kat and Joe’s friend Doug was singing during the ceremony with his voice of an angel.

Shortly after the ceremony guests walked to the barn, where the prosecco van was waiting for them. After the wishes and dinner, there was time for speeches. Bride, Groom, Best Man and the Maid of Honour (with her sister) all gave their speeches. There was not a dry eye during the Bride’s speech, followed by funny stories from the Best Man. After that all the guests started dancing and the reception lasted until morning (Polish style!)

What a great day that was and what great people I got to meet! If you’re looking for a photographer to capture your wedding day anywhere in Poland, England or anywhere else really – that’s me!

The ceremony took place in Botanical Gardens Garten der Welt in Berlin.  It was short, but extremely moving – there wasn’t a dry eye in the room! Even I had a problem with staying cool. After the ceremony guests took their time to wish the happy couple all the best for their future as a family. Kathi and Julia are expecting a baby really soon!

All the guests were invited to the wedding reception in the evening in the most cozy restaurant Bricole. I’m so honoured that I got to capture this wedding. And it was also great because I wasn’t alone! Bartek from Alpaka Weddings was also there with me and he made the wedding film for the girls.
