Best Photographer!

Jacek was our photographer for our engagement shoot and our wedding. After our engagement shoot, we knew he would be perfect for our wedding. He kept the mood fun while also perfecting each pose for every photo! Throughout the wedding, he captured every moment perfectly. From bridal portraits, posed family photos, dance floor fun, and candid shots of so many of our guests. He captured the feeling of the day and we will forever be grateful for the photos that he took for us. He also got all of the photos back to us in such a timely manner, we were shocked by how fast the photos came back! We would recommend Jacek 100%!!!

Can't imagine our day without Jacek!

What a joy it was to work with Jacek for our wedding day photos! We had seen his work from a couple of our friends’ weddings and knew we had to call him as soon as we set a date! Jacek stands out as a photographer and as a vendor, he is easy to work with, matches the joy and energy day of, and picks up on the little things to capture every part of your day. Before the wedding we met with him and discussed our priorities and preferences for the day. He takes his time with photos, but also makes sure the bride and groom get to spend the evening with their guests and on the dance floor. And to top it all of- the photos are incredible! Every time we meet someone getting married we recommend Jacek!

Jacek - the best wedding photographer!

Jacek did an amazing job capturing our wedding! He blew us away with timeless photos from our engagement pictures. During the engagement shoot, he got to know us and made sure we felt and looked comfortable in pictures. On the wedding day he captured every moment for us from getting ready to our exit. He does a great job working with various forms of lighting. Jacek makes staged pictures flow and captures the best candids. His turn around time is super quick with high quality edited photos. I would highly recommend hiring Jacek - especially if you are looking for an energetic photographer who provides a large volume of high quality, detailed photos. Jacek was a pleasure to work with and we will book with him again for future photography needs!

The absolute best—he’s captured two generations of our family!

Jacek is an extraordinary photographer and a true joy to work with! He captured my wedding, and when my daughter got married, there was zero doubt in our minds about who we wanted to shoot hers.

He is so kind, personable, and professional. From the start, communication was effortless—he always replies promptly and happily accommodates special requests. On the wedding day, Jacek was wonderful with our guests and made everyone feel completely relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera.

He continually goes above and beyond to capture the most incredible moments; several of his photos genuinely look like works of art. To make things even better, he provided a sneak peek within just a day or two and delivered our full gallery in about two weeks! We are beyond grateful for Jacek and couldn’t recommend him more.

Jacek is Great!

Jacek was our photographer for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding day and was an absolute blast to work with! He was fun and easy to work with and was really great with the couple of kids that we had in attendance. I can't recommend him enough!

Bri and Nick Wedding

There are not enough good words to write about our experience with Jacek for our wedding. He captured each moment perfectly and cared so much about the angles and lighting, it was as if we were celebrities! He makes you feel very comfortable and you will get in a laugh or too as well. Cannot suggest him enough.

World’s best photographer

We had the absolute best experience with our wedding photographer, Jacek. From the moment he arrived, he brought an energy that instantly put us at ease. He has an incredible talent for capturing beautiful, natural moments while also handling large groups with complete ease and professionalism. Coordinating big family photos can be chaotic, but Jacek made it feel effortless — and actually fun.

He made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and his upbeat, friendly personality truly elevated our entire day. Throughout the wedding, guests kept coming up to us asking, “Who is your photographer? He’s so much fun!” — which says everything about the impact he had.

Our wedding was genuinely more enjoyable because he was part of it, and the photos we received are stunning. We can’t recommend Jacek highly enough. If you want someone talented, organized, and an absolute joy to be around, he’s the one.
