FAQs
1. HOW CAN I MAKE A BOOKING AND HOW DO I PAY?
To reserve a date a prepaid of 500,- euros is required with signing a short contract. We settle the full payment maximal 2 days after the wedding.
2. HOW WILL I GET THE PHOTOS?
You will receive all photos up to 2 months after the wedding in an elegant online gallery, which you can also share with your guests and family, you will also be able to download them from there.
The photos will also be sent in full resolution by WeTransfer, ready to print. After that, you will get all the photos on a USB stick, along with the best prints and possibly an album. It's always great if you come pickup it up yourself 😉 - you are more than welcome.
3. WHAT STYLE OF PHOTOS WILL IT BE?
My style is a combination of beautiful brown colours. You can find examples on my website, Instagram or Facebook. Before the session you declare that you are familiar with my portfolio and accept my perceptions of image composition, the final effect of post-production, as well as the overall aesthetics of the photos.
I also decide whether the picture is in colour or black-white version. If you don’t want any black-white pictures, please inform me on the day of the session. It is not possible to exchange already delivered photos from the session.
4. CAN WE SEND YOU PICTURES THAT I LIKE?
Most definitely. Inspiration is always good. The more information you give me before the wedding, the better I will be able to meet your requirements. But remember that this is an inspiration and my style will remain the same.
5. WILL THE PHOTOS BE PUBLISHED?
You can agree or not to publish by me the best photos on my website, social media and others. There is a line in the contract about the free use of photos, but I do not see a problem to change it for you if is a privacy issue.
6. DINNER TIME FOR YOU – SEATING AMONG THE GUESTS?
The best option for me is to seat me among the guests. It could be somewhere in the corner, but still among the guests. Time of rest and regeneration is crucial for me to have a lot of strength, energy and ideas to go further. I am also in the centre of events when something happens. Secondly, it is a great comfort for me because the staff treats me in the same importance as the rest of the guests and fulfil my basic needs. That all simply makes it easier for me to do my duties, which I try to do as best as I can. A proper, full meal served at normal time is also important.
7. CAN WE DO A WEDDING SESSION ON ANOTHER DAY?
Sure, I strongly encourage you to do so. I come from Poland and in my country almost every wedding photoshoot takes place on a different day - it gives a great potential. You can do things that I would not dare to do on the wedding day - let's swim in the sea, go in a beautiful place, let's do rain sessions, jump into the pool. You can safely do your makeup and hairstyle yourself. Tip? Plan it max a few days after the wedding, or when you come back from the honeymoon.
Cost wedding session of 2 hours: 499,- euros
Around 50-60 fully edited photos
Driving cost: not included
8. CAN WE DO SESSIONS SOMEWHERE ABROAD?
Sure, with great desire! And I strongly encourage you to do so. The additional costs will include the session itself - i.e. 499,- euros - plus possibly minimal travel and accommodation costs - but we can negotiate everything.
9. DO YOU ALSO OFFER AN ENGAGEMENT SESSION?
Of course! The engagement session is a great idea that I always encourage. Why? It is a great time for us to get to know each other and "get used to" each other and the camera, but above all, a great souvenir that can be used, for example, at a wedding to create a presentation of photos or as a souvenir for parents. Please see the Info + PRICING ENGAGEMENT SESSION
10. WHAT WILL OUR COOPERATION LOOK LIKE?
Of course! It is very important. I encourage you to read my guides in PDF and video - after that, much will be clear. Moreover, days or weeks before the wedding, we will meet in a cafe or do a video call to arrange all the most important details. During the conversation, I will answer your questions, dispel all doubts, and tell you what to look for on this special day. We'll get everything to the last button!
11. WHAT ABOUT THE ADVANCE PAYMENT IF THE WEDDING IS CANCELLED?
The advance payment is something non-refundable. In the event of cancellation, it will not be returned. However, if you choose a new wedding date and it is available to me, then the down payment may be transferred to the new contract. Everything can be agreed. Advance payment cannot be used for other services.
12. IS IT POSSIBLE TO BE PHOTOGRAPHED BY 2 PHOTOGRAPHERS?
Yes, sure. It happens that at a wedding I am paired with someone to help. However, if you want a second photographer as a big support, then there will be additional costs - possible, but not much.
