RAW AND AUTHENTIC: Photographer Captures Real-Life Moments

Documentary wedding photographer, currently based in Wolverhampton where I live with my wife and 3 children, but I photograph weddings and elopements all over the UK and abroad. My photography style is pure documentary (also referred to as candid, natural, or reportage wedding photography) with no direction/interference as I firmly believe that your wedding day belongs to you and your family and the photographer should not interfere with it. I will never ask anyone to stop, smile, and look at the camera. Documenting weddings from different cultures - including Sikh Weddings, Muslim wedding ceremonies, Hindu weddings, and traditional European church wedding is something that I really enjoy. I am Polish/Canadian with over 25 years of experience, including reportage work for newspapers in Canada and Poland. Covered destination weddings and events in Canada, Poland, France, Spain Italy, and the UK.
