Wedding Reception

An Autumn Wedding Full of Red at Szklarnia Grodzisk

Autumn is definitely one of the most magical seasons. I love it for its explosion of colors, the leaves falling from the trees, and the rain—best enjoyed from the couch with a cup of our favorite tea. As it happens, for the past few years, my wedding season has always come to a close in the fall. The last weddings of the season are always unforgettable and special. Last year was no different. I wrapped up my photography marathon with a beautiful wedding story for Paulina and Marcin. They chose the stunning Szklarnia Grodzisk as their wedding venue. Until then, I had only seen it on Instagram, and to be honest, the chance to photograph there had me beyond excited. I counted down the days to this wedding for many reasons.

I met Paulina during my photography studies. Although we didn’t study together, she was my guiding light, always offering invaluable advice. I’m convinced that without her, my journey at UW would have been much more challenging, and for that, I will always be grateful. So when she asked us about our availability for her wedding, I felt it was my duty to return the favor for everything she had done for me. And when I finally met her fiancé, I knew right away—they were meant for each other.

On their wedding day, everything just fell into place—the vibrant red of Paulina’s hair, the room with the most epic chandelier ever, where Marcin was getting ready. His deep burgundy suit made him look absolutely regal. The bookshelf in the living room, filled with fantasy novels, a Deadpool figurine, and a Witcher School medallion 😃—it all made me feel right at home from the very start.

But beyond the material things, there was something even more important—something that can sometimes be hard to notice, yet in their case, it was crystal clear. The way Marcin looked at Paulina. Their beloved dog, calmly watching the preparations unfold. The tender embraces and teary eyes of their loved ones during the blessing. The crisp autumn air, their pure joy when they saw each other in the garden for the first time. Their unfiltered happiness, surrounding us at every moment that day.

It’s truly beautiful when two people love each other so deeply that their love becomes almost tangible. Suddenly, everything feels simpler. They are just there for each other—no pretense, no worrying about what’s appropriate, whether there’s time, space, or the right moment. They embrace life fully, in every second. And that’s the most beautiful thing a person can witness and capture in photographs—preserving it forever.

WHAT I’LL REMEMBER FOREVER:

  • Smiles, smiles, and more smiles—throughout the entire day, every single moment.

  • That I got to decorate the ring box myself, and everyone was happy with the result—even though I’m no florist or decorator 😆

  • Their total chill vibe.

  • The mini-session during the reception, which, thanks to their natural ease, turned out to be some of the best shots we’ve ever taken in such a short time.

  • The badass squad-style photos of the girls with cigarettes.

  • The Bin Laden dance organized by Kacper from Dobry Klimat Music Band.

  • I might sound like a foodie, but I have to mention it—THE BEST FOOD EVER.

  • That they wanted to take a few final shots by the lights of my car, with everything glistening from the rain.

  • The bold red color that appeared throughout the day, sparking my imagination at every turn.

That’s just a little intro about this incredible couple—now, I invite you to dive into their story. Put on some music, soak in the vibe, and enjoy their absolutely unforgettable day!

Greenery style wedding in the magical Oczyszczalnia

I met Paulina and Paweł for the first time in a restaurant to discuss all the details of their wedding and reception. It turned out that we have more in common than we expected, especially our love of board games :)

When Paweł wrote me the first email and I read that their wedding would take place in one of the most magical places on the map of Poland, I couldn't wait to meet them! Not only did I dream of photographing a ceremony in this place, but Paulina and Paweł's wedding was also supposed to feature a lot of greenery-style motifs, which I love.

I did stylized wedding session "Silver Dust", which was published in the polish wedding magazine. Paulina and Paweł looked through my portfolio and this session also did not escape their attention, maybe it even inspired them a little.

Such situations make me extremely happy, because I know that my hard work and long weeks of preparation for the session are not wasted. It's a great feeling when your own projects are remembered by others. I won't deny that it was an incredibly pleasant surprise for me.

The day started slowly, I could take pictures of Paulina and Paweł's preparations, their family and loved ones without stress. I really appreciate the atmosphere of peace, in which I can act without feeling pressured, rushed and have more time for some thoughts in terms of the frame or composition. There was also a moment for a few photos with my beloved dog.

The garden behind the house turned out to be the perfect scenery for their first look (I love this moment!). The wedding ceremony took place in a very bright chapel. I was deeply moved by the fact that their loved ones took such an active part in the Holy Mass. The whole ceremony took place in a very family, friendly atmosphere. At the end I managed to take a souvenir family photo, although it was not easy with so many people :)

The wedding is prevented in the Oczyszczalnia in Teresin. A place that is essential magic, which was previously noticed in photos on the Internet by other photographers. I secretly dreamed that maybe one day I would be able to photograph there originally. Since I appeared on the spot, my delight was endless.

The kitchen arrangement, the tableware, the omnipresent greenery, wonderful decorations, outside fresh, blue photobus, which were created by the amazing Kasia and Grześ. Everything that is unusual, like on the photos which I admired on Pinterest! There were switches, fantastic, blue cakes, cut in the use of a kitten walking next to it, wonderful garlands with lights, delicious food and the best music in the world.

It was a wedding in the true spirit of SLOW. There was no tight schedule of events, no specific time frame for ticking off items from the list. The atmosphere of total ease, happiness and love. To be honest – these are the weddings I love the most. And… I dream of one myself! :)

Without further ado – I invite you to watch the reportage and comment <3
