    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.

    Jacek Dolata: Our Wedding MVP

    We can’t recommend Jacek Dolata enough! He is professional, talented, and absolutely hilarious!!! The kind of photographer who instantly puts everyone at ease. Jacek knows exactly when and where to get that perfect “money shot,” while also capturing the most beautiful candid and emotional moments throughout the day. His documentary-style photography is truly one of a kind. It's raw, real, and timeless.
    He has such a gift for turning fleeting moments into lifelong memories. Every photo lets us relive the magic all over again. Beyond his incredible talent, Jacek is just so much fun to be around, and we’re so grateful he was part of our wedding day.

    Jacek is the absolute best!

    Having Jacek as our photographer was a blessing! Him and his videographer made our day feel so much more special and fun! We used Jacek for our engagement photos and our wedding a year later. He even came by to our house the day after the wedding to take pictures of us and our dogs which meant a lot to us. The pictures and videography came out beyond amazing! My husband and I definitely highly recommend Jacek as he is the best!

    Effortless, Fun, and Absolutely Stunning Photos

    Jacek is truly the best photographer! From start to finish, he was engaging, fun, and incredibly reliable. I thought taking photos would feel like a chore, but it turned out to be one of my favorite parts of the day. He made us feel completely comfortable, and everything felt so natural and effortless.

    Jacek has such a great eye for backgrounds, poses, and details. Our photos aren’t stiff or overly posed, they’re full of life, warmth, and genuine emotion. I received a sneak peek (not even edited yet!), and I’m already obsessed. I can’t wait to see the final gallery!

    A true artist behind the lens

    Jacek isn’t just a photographer, he’s a true artist. From the moment we met him, he made us feel completely at ease, like we’d been friends forever. His eye for detail, light, and composition is unmatched. Every photo felt like a piece of art, not just documentation of the day, but a beautifully told visual story. He captured not only the big moments, but all the little in-between ones that made our day so special. I was so happy with how the photos came out that I cried when he sent me the previews. I especially appreciated how he gently directed us to bring out the best in every shot. Our families and wedding party still rave about him! Choosing Jacek was one of the best and most meaningful decisions we made for our wedding!

    Thank you Jacek!!

    Hiring Jacek was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! He and his team captured our day absolutely perfectly. Looking through the album (which he delivered so quickly!), we were struck by the amazing way that he captured all of the emotions of the day. He has such an incredible eye for capturing not only the big moments but also the smaller ones - from a look between our parents during our ceremony, to our dog trying to steal the make up artists' brushes as we got ready - those moments truly make our album even more special. Beyond Jacek's talent as a photographer, he was also just the absolute best to work with. Jacek is professional, detail-oriented, and took charge when needed to help organize everyone and make sure we got all the shots we wanted. But he was also so fun and easy going and made what could be a stressful day an amazing experience. We got SO many compliments from guests at the wedding telling us how amazing our photographer was (before even getting back any photos!), which really speaks to the positive way he interacts with everyone there. Can't recommend him highly enough!

    If I could only leave more than 5 stars!!!

    Best wedding photographer around! Jacek captured every moment I didn’t know I would love looking at over and over again! From the moment I walked in the venue, dress in hand until the late night dance hours. I can relive my wedding over and over again. Jacek did such a beautiful job capturing our loved one’s in both posed and candid shots! We even took his advise and stepped out side when at first that was never the plan, but we trusted him and I couldn’t have asked for a better first look and wedding party photos. My husband looks like a model walking through the streets of Hartford. He embraced what makes my husband and I a couple. We felt so comfortable and so did our families! That led to so many amazing photos! Highly recommended!! Phenomenal work and experience you do not know you need on your big day! Will be recommending to all my family!! Thank you again!!

    The photos are absolutely stunning 🥰😍

    I had the pleasure of working with Jacek as our wedding photographer, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience! From start to finish, he was incredibly patient, ensuring that every moment was captured perfectly. He took the time to understand our vision and even helped guide us through the day, making sure we felt comfortable and relaxed. The photos are absolutely stunning—each shot is beautifully composed, with amazing attention to detail. His professionalism and talent truly shine through in every image. Highly recommend Jacek to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

    Book. Jacek.

    BOOK JACEK! Im not exaggerating when I tell you he is the best wedding photographer you will ever find. We found Jacek on our venues preferred vendor list and decided to reach out. Jacek got back to us the same day and scheduled a zoom call to discuss our plans and what we wanted in a photographer. As soon as we got off the zoom call, my husband and I said “yeah we’re booking him”. He has been nothing but a pleasure to work with. He took us to Harkness park for our engagement photos and our session actually went over what we planned because he was so excited he couldn’t stop taking photos- they came out AMAZING. He’s SO fun to work with. He has a great personality and his passion for his work shines through when he’s photographing you.

    On our wedding day I showed up to the venue and he popped out from behind the trees to sneak some photos of me. When I saw him I smiled ear to ear. We were in a bit of a time crunch and Jacek kept me calm while getting beautiful bridal shots in the bridal suite. After our bridal party photos my friends and family could not stop telling us how great our photographer is.

    When we received our wedding album I was in tears. He captured every sweet, happy, emotional, fun, and party moment. The quality of the photos is unmatched.

    Book Jacek, I promise you will not regret it.

    "Laugh at my accent"

    If you're looking for a wedding photographer who not only captures stunning moments but also keeps you laughing throughout the day, look no further than Jacek Dolata!

    From our initial meeting, it was clear that Jacek had a knack for making us feel at ease with his quick wit and lighthearted banter. On the big day, Jacek was like the fun friend we didn’t know we needed. Whether it was cracking jokes during our posed shots or making silly faces to get the kids to smile, his humor washed away the stress of posing for the perfect picture.

    And let’s talk about the photos! He has an incredible eye for detail and captured every precious moment—from the tears of joy to the dance floor back-flips and shenanigans. The editing is absolutely gorgeous, making every shot look like a work of art while still keeping it real.

    If you want someone who brings both talent and personality to your wedding day, Jacek is your go-to! We couldn’t be happier with our photos or the fun memories we made together. Highly recommended!

    Wedding day 7/27/24

    Jacek is a phenomenal photographer! We had the absolute best experience working with him. Our wedding day was very long 12+ hours and Jacek made the whole day run seamlessly. We also had a very large bridal party of 16 and he was able to lead the entire group and get so many amazing shots. I can’t stop staring at our wedding photos. We have also done a previous engagement shoot with him on our boat which was amazing! Would 100% recommend and hope to work with him again in the future!

    Amazing photographer!

    Jacek is the best! We were so happy we chose him to photograph our wedding. He is professional, punctual, funny, great at communicating, and overall easy to talk to and work with.

    We appreciated how he directed us and our immediate family during photos and wasn’t afraid to try different things out. He listened to our suggestions and what we wanted, and offered great suggestions and ideas of his own. Was great to get some photos of our day within a couple weeks of our wedding, and the rest of the photos came within a month which was quicker than we expected.

    Highly recommend and would definitely use him again!

    Amazing photographer

    Working with Jacek was one of the best decisions of our wedding planning.

    He is incredibly professional, punctual and has great creative direction and he’s able to easily direct everyone on your big day. And he’s extremely funny! Which made the process feel so natural and easy for all of our guests.

    Photo delivery was quicker than expected and he gave us sneak peeks even beforehand which we really appreciated.

    I would highly recommend Jacek for your next big event and looking forward to working with him again.

    Definitely Recommend

    We had Jacek as our photographer for our wedding. He was very professional, easy to work with, and brought a great energy to the wedding. We are very happy with all of the photos! Our friends & family have commented on how well he captured everyone's personalities in the photos. My father-in-law unfortunately could not make the wedding due to a sudden hospitalization. Jacek's thorough & candid documentation really brought the night to life for him, which really meant a lot to us.

    Best Photographer!

    Jacek is THE BEST! He embodies the 3 p's as a photographer: He is punctual, professional and captures the most PERFECT photos of your special day. I hired Jacek after he did my best friend's wedding, and needless to say, I was just as impressed, if not more, with how amazing our pictures came out for our wedding! They were gorgeous, candid and captured the whole day perfectly. His communication is consistent leading up to your day and is constantly working throughout the entire wedding making sure to capture the best of everything! The best part, he gives you a sneak peak of photos literally the DAY AFTER your wedding. And they are STUNNING. We highly recommend Jacek for your wedding. You will NOT be disappointed!

    The best photographer for your wedding!

    Jacek is the most incredible photographer you will ever meet! We booked Jacek for our wedding this past September. It is so important to have a photographer that you feel comfortable with on your most important day. Jacek makes you feel so relaxed throughout the whole day, which is why I think the photos came out so amazing. He is the most talented, organized, energetic, funny, and positive person you will meet. He couldn't be a more perfect addition to your wedding day. He will make you laugh all day long, even when things are stressful! He calmed my nerves so many times throughout the day when I was stressed about my dress, veil or the timing of the schedule. He made sure to continuously keep me updated with the timing and the shot list to make sure he captured all of the shots I wanted. He was extremely flexible throughout the day, including finding a new picture spot last minute when we couldn't make it to the park that we initially planned. Even though it was one of the windiest days, Jacek made it work by finding different spots where we could shoot our group family and bridal party shots. He kept everyone laughing all day long, while also making sure that everyone was coming out looking good. One of our favorite memories of the day is from the bridal portrait shoot that my husband and I did with just Jacek which just helped us relax and take a break during the day. He also worked really well with our videographer, making sure they were both communicating with each other about all the shots they wanted to get. He went above and beyond the whole day making sure I was satisfied with everything. He even sent us some sneak peek shots while on our way to the honeymoon which made us even more excited to see the full album. We couldn't be happier to have booked Jacek for our wedding, he made our wedding all the more memorable. You will not be disappointed with Jacek's photos and service for your wedding. This is your sign to book Jacek today!

    Absolutely amazing experience with Jacek. So glad we booked him so early!

    We booked Jacek 2.5 years prior to our wedding date after meeting with him and hearing incredible reviews from others. He was the one vendor we knew we NEEDED. From the beginning, Jacek was friendly, professional, and very easy to communicate with. If I ever needed anything or had a question, Jacek was always a text message or phone call away. We had our engagement session about a year after we booked Jacek, we were so excited! I started to get worried as showers were in the forecast, but I decided to have faith in the process and trust Jacek and his work. I’m so glad I didn’t reschedule our photos. Despite the slight rain, we had the most beautiful photos. Jacek was even able to capture a stunning rainbow, and to this day - people ask if it was photoshopped…nope, just the magic of Jacek! He has such an eye for photography. He delivered sneak peeks the day off, and the rest of the photos were delivered in a timely manner. Once we received the photos, we were very impressed and got even more excited to have him photograph our wedding. Leading up to the wedding, I was a very nervous bride. I like to be organized and have a timeline of how things will go. Jacek is also very organized, so this helped ease some of my worries. With his experience photographing weddings, I asked him for guidance to help me create a reasonable timeline for the day of. We went through what photos I wanted and where, etc. The day of the wedding, Jacek and his team were punctual, professional, in good spirits, organized, effective communicators, and efficient. We had a setback (unrelated to Jacek and his team) that pushed my timeline back a bit. Jacek and his team knew how important our photos were to us and ensured we somehow got everything I wanted. My bridal party and family loved him. He is so great to work with, funny, makes you feel comfortable, all while doing his job and being professional. He is the best of both worlds, he knows tips and tricks on how to pose for a perfect shot, but is also amazing at capturing candids in the moment. Once the party began and everyone was on the dance floor, I forgot Jacek was even there - and then I saw some of the footage and he is scoping out perfect photo opportunities and capturing my loved ones and I having fun. We received some sneak peeks the day after the wedding and we cannot wait to see the rest! There aren’t enough words to describe how grateful we are for Jacek. He knows how to capture everything beautifully. We will keep him in mind for future events and recommend him to family and friends. I know our relationship with Jacek will not end here. We have created a friendship that I am sure will last for years to come. Thank you Jacek for everything!

    The best in the game!

    I can't even put into words how fortunate we were to have Jacek as our wedding photographer! He is so talented, passionate, and genuine - absolutely wonderful to work with. His energy was fantastic throughout the entire day - everyone in the bridal party loved him, and he had us smiling and laughing the whole time! We met with him several times leading up to the wedding, and he really spent a lot of time getting to know us and going through our timeline/questions. The day after the wedding, he sent several beautiful photos that we were obsessed with. We absolutely can't wait to receive the rest! HIGHLY, highly recommend - we are so grateful to Jacek and Jeff for such amazing work, true professionals and great people :)

    Soo Thankful for Jacek!

    Jacek was the first vendor we booked for our wedding! We loved his style of photos and his attention to detail. From the first Zoom call, we could see and feel his energy and knew we needed to book him for our wedding. Durning our enagegment photo session he took all the photos we wanted and made extra stops along the way to capture the perfect photos! At the wedding he was incredible and he kept guests, the wedding party and us laughing the whole time. Jacek is upbeat, fun and does whatever it takes to get the perfect photo. My husband and I were so excited to receive our final photos back and they came out even more beautiful than we could have imagined. We cannot recommend Jacek enough as a wedding photographer he is truly the best.

    The Best!!!!!

    Jacek was professional, fun and hardworking! Honestly he never stopped talking pictures, always looking for the perfect shot. I remember thinking that I never saw someone work so hard yet seem to enjoy every moment! My daughter had pictures taken before the ceremony and he managed to put us all at ease and even find some humor when the weather changed at the last few minutes. My daughter was referred to him by a friend and from their first meeting, she was raving about his friendly demeanor and ability to make the whole picture taking experience fun and one to remember! I have seen his photos and they are a testament to his hard work and dedication to capturing the essence of the whole celebration!

    Jacek is amazing!!

    There are not enough words to say how amazing Jacek is. We used him for our engagement shoot and our wedding in June. Since the first day we met with him (almost a year an a half ago) he was incredible to work with, someone we now consider a friend 😊. From someone who doesn’t love being in front of the camera and a bride the day of wedding, the nerves were real but Jacek made it sooo easy, fun and comfortable (always checking in with me making sure I was okay). Things ran so smoothly the day of the wedding because of his organization and talent- definitely has an eye for great photos. Our guests have nothing but wonderful things to say about Jacek and how fun (and funny) he is. I woke up the morning after the wedding with some sneak peak photos which goes to show how dedicated he is to his job. 10/10 recommend Jacek for any photography needs.

    (I even asked him if we can all go to dinner because I didn’t want to our work/time together to end 🤣

    Amazing and Fun Experience with Jacek

    I was married in April at Lord Thompson Manor and I cannot say enough about the experience using Jacek as our photographer. Jacek was a great listener in terms of what we were looking for in photos of our wedding and gave us great coaching on how to get the most out of our photos. He picked up immediately in our engagement photos the type of photos we liked best (more natural) and when we were most comfortable. He then applied that to our wedding photos as well. He also was quick to lighten the mood and had us all laughing the whole time which definitely reflected in how phenomenal the final product was. He also was so quick in getting our photos back to us in about two weeks after our wedding. I cannot recommend him enough!

    Excellent photographer at the Riverview!

    Jacek did an AMAZING job from start to finish with our engagement photos at Avery Point, and our wedding photos at the Riverview in Simsbury, CT. I was initially inclined to go with Jacek because I Iiked that he had a lot of experience at the Riverview, and I wanted a photographer who knew the ins and out of the venue, and where to capture the best shots. I felt like I was in great hands the entire day. He is very professional, but also funny which helped ease our nerves! Jacek sent me a couple photos right after the wedding, and the rest of our photos came back extremely fast.The quality of the photos were superb, and something I will treasure forever. Thank you Jacek for all your hard work in capturing the perfect day!

    Amazing Photographer

    100% would recommend Jacek! We contacted him to be our wedding photographer based on his reviews and he did not disappoint. He made our engagement session and wedding day photos so much fun. He was creative with the poses and always made sure to show us some of the photos as he was taking them. The final photos were absolutely amazing and so flattering. He delivered a huge gallery to us that were edited so well in a very timely manner. My husband and I will definitely be contacting him again for future events.

    Breathtaking engagement photos!!!

    If you're looking for a photographer, look no further! Jacek is amazing! He produced the most incredible engagement photos for us. He was professional and friendly and made the whole session so much fun. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera from the start. What sets him apart from others is his creativity and his unique ways in capturing your love in photos. He exceeded our expectations with everything. We are thrilled with our decision for him to be our wedding photographer. You will be thrilled if you book him too! Thank you so much Jacek!!!

    Wonderful Experience!!

    Highly recommend Jacek!
    He did our engagement session and because we do things backward and already have a daughter he let her be a part of our photo session. He was so awesome to work with and very personable. Jacek was amazing with my 2 year old as well and let her come into the pictures when she was comfortable. We cannot wait to work with him for our wedding next year!

    Beautiful photos and videos!

    We booked Jack for our wedding photography and videography and we are AMAZED at his beautiful work! When we booked him, he met with us for over an hour, answering all of our questions and offering helpful recommendations about logistics. He then met with us again the week before our week to review our photo and video shot lists. On the big day, he and his team were so enjoyable and FUN! They made all of the guests and the bridal party laugh throughout the day. We will always remember how fun he made it. Even better, his work turned out absolutely breathtaking. We've received so many compliments on our photos and videos and would highly recommend him to anyone. We are so grateful we have his beautiful photos and videos to look back on the best day of our lives

    Absolutely incredible

    Jacek wasn’t just an exceptional photographer, he was a valued guest at our wedding and will continue to be a part of our memories moving forward. He knew exactly what was needed for the portraits and kept a friendly distance for the candids. Most importantly he helped us through the unknowns leading up to and during the wedding and could make anybody laugh. Our guests loved him, we loved him and feel so fortunate that he spent this very special day with us.

    Best day of our lives

    When my now husband and I started our search for our wedding photographer we wanted to go with a preferred vendor to our venue. From the first meeting via FaceTime with Jacek we knew he would be the perfect photographer for us. He is very personable, cares about the couple and their wants and needs. Jacek was AMAZING to work with for our engagement session. He had us laughing the whole time to feel comfortable in front of the camera.

    6/24/22 THE BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES! Jacek is the man! He made my husband and I feel so special, had us laughing the entire time, knew exactly how to pose us to get the best angles and I am so glad he did because our photos came back BEAUTIFUL we have not stopped getting compliments on how great the photos came out and how fun and personable Jacek was. We are going to using him for all of our future photo needs he really became a friend to my husband and I.
    We got sneak peeks the morning after the wedding which I wasn't expecting waking up to pictures so soon and I am so happy we had Jacek there for our day!

    Jacek is the best and we couldn’t be happier!!

    My husband and I hired Jacek for our wedding photography, and we truly couldn’t be happier. As a person, Jacek is personable, fun, energetic, and truly knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. He made us and our entire wedding party feel energized throughout all the photos, and his work is truly phenomenal. Jacek is an artist— he would show my husband and I some of the shots he was getting, and all of them would be unbelievably stunning. He also was on the dance floor making sure to get great action shots all night!! Hiring Jacek was the best decision we made for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier. We recommend him to everyone!!

    Amazing! Jacek was creative, engaging, and photo turn around was fast!

    Jacek was absolutely incredible! We had a great time shooting with him. He was engaging, creative, and so helpful in posing my fiancé and I. The turn around time for receiving our photos was so fast! I was excited to see our engagement photos, but I did not expect that I would love every single photo. They were so well done and naturally beautiful. As someone who hates every photo they are in it is truly shocking to be so happy with all our photos. Thank you Jacek, we are so excited to have you capture our wedding day!

    10/10 would highly recommend!

    10/10 would highly recommend! Jacek exceeded all expectations we had for our wedding photographer. We found Jacek through a list of recommended vendors from our wedding venue and he did not disappoint. From the very beginning, Jacek was a pleasure to work with and extremely professional in all interactions prior to and the day of our wedding. For two people that aren't the most comfortable in front of the camera, he helped ease any anxiety we had which allowed him to capture the most amazing candid photos - he made you forget you were even being photographed (in the best way). From the little details of removing an item from the background or instructing you on how to pose, you know Jacek takes pride in his work and is going to get the most amazing shots. Our family and friends were just as obsessed with him and his extremely charasmatic and bubbly personality; we even had people come up to us and say they wished they used him for their wedding photographer. Our highlight clip, full gallery and extended video were returned to us even more quickly than we expected and the photos were absolutely amazing - we cried all over again just looking through it all. Jacek and his team captured our day in the most beautiful way. Our wedding day would not have been the same without him and his team, and I'm thrilled to have the amazing photos and videos to look back on. I do and will continue to recommend Jacek to everyone!!

    Could not have asked for a better team

    Jacek and his team are absolutely amazing. You can tell they take great pride in what they do and want to make sure they produce perfection. He will do whatever he needs to get the perfect shot, the perfect lighting, the perfect angle. He was always right there making sure we got every picture we could have wanted. He showed us a couple pictures after he had taken them and they looked amazing. Not even an hour after our reception ended he had already sent me a picture and just that glimpse of that one picture I can’t wait to see the rest of them so we can relive the day. He has a way of getting people to laugh and smile so the pictures don’t look staged they look genuine. Absolutely amazing. Even the guests were impressed with how organized they all were and how aware they were of all their surroundings getting pictures that we may not have thought of. Hands down would recommend them and we already know we will be using him in the future for other events.

    Engagement photos

    Jacek is AMAZING!!! From someone who doesn’t feel photogenic or love being in front of the camera, I’ve never felt more comfortable. We had a blast and all the pictures we took laughing, were genuine laughs and smiles because he made it that easy. I frantically texted him about the weather for our scheduled engagement shoot and he got back to me immediately and was able to make changes so we had the most perfect day! We even got several beautiful photos sent to us within hours of leaving him. I am beyond thrilled to work with someone so talented amazing!!

    Amazing Photographer

    Jack is a talented photographer. His calm manner made everyone comfortable. His attention to detail and a keen eye are outstanding, like when he noticed that the father of the bride had something inside his breast pocket! We are so happy with the photos. Everyone has said how great Jack was on the day!! Just wanted to thank Jack so much for the amazing photos. We will not hesitate to recommend Jack to others. Thank you!

    Perfect Photographer

    We can't recommend Jacek (and his assistant) enough! They did such an amazing job with every aspect of our wedding. He was super professional and easy to communicate and plan with, and super fun at the wedding itself. We hadn't worked with a professional photographer before, but he made everything super easy and straightforward. His work is absolutely incredible, we love all of our photos! He also put together a gorgeous wedding album for us, which we can't stop admiring. Thank you for all your amazing work Jacek!

    We worked with Jacek for my sister and brother in law's wedding and he was incredible! He maintained a high level of professionalism while also making the bridal party continuously laugh and smile. We have since received the photos from the wedding day and they are perfect. He was able to catch so many incredible moments throughout the day and we could not be more thankful for having him there! I would highly recommend Jacek!

    Incredible

    There are no words that express how amazing Jacek is! Jacek, exceeded our expectations and vision in EVERY possible way. We met Jacek when we had to change our wedding date due to the global pandemic. Right away on our video chat we knew he was meant to be part of our special day. He was personable, realistic, made us laugh and feel at ease during such a time of uncertainty and was prepared for a plan if we could not go forth with our date. He appreciated our Portuguese culture and felt like family right away! We created a friendship that will last forever. Right at the beginning of our wedding day he made us laugh and captured the most amazing moments. Jacek is so passionate about what he does and is always on point. My guests are still talking about how he brought such great ENERGY to our day and how much they enjoyed watching him dance the night away with us while capturing moments that will last forever. He has a great relationship with our venue at La Bella Vista. The team at LBV reassured me that he would be magical! To have vendors that work together and are close on your wedding day, truly makes such a big difference. We are so grateful for such an impactful experience. We received our pictures and we are at loss of words. To say they are amazing and breathtaking is an understatement. We are so lucky to have had Jacek part of our special day and truly feel like it would be the same without him! "1...2....3...hahahaha" .

    Jacek was our wedding photographer. When we first met with him over FaceTime, he gave us a vision of what we could expect which was very helpful and reassuring. He was very friendly and fun to work with. We had no idea where to do our engagement pictures and asked if he had any suggestions. He recommended Harkness State Park which was absolutely stunning. Neither of us had ever done professional photos before but Jacek made it easy. The engagement and wedding photos turned out absolutely amazing. We received sneak peak engagement and wedding photos within 24 hours. Jacek has a great eye and incredible talent. He is fun and friendly and was always easy to get in touch with. I highly recommend Jacek and we will definitely be working with him again in the future!

    Great experience!

    Jacek is awesome! He was recommended to us by another vendor as well as a friend, and we understand why. His pictures are beautiful, and the shoot is fun and efficient. He knows how to be creative no matter the location and what shots will look great. I would recommend him for all of your photography needs!

    AMAZING experience

    We had our wedding June 11, 2021 at St. Clements castle and had Jacek as our photographer. We can’t say enough good things about our experience with Jacek. He was helpful and easy to work with before, during and after the wedding. He was open to all of our ideas and helped make all of our picture ideas come to fruition. He was relaxed and made all of our guests and wedding party laugh throughout the night. Would highly recommend !

    BEST photographer!! Fun and extremely talented!

    From start to finish Jacek was an incredible photographer!!! We couldn't have asked for anyone better!! He was detail-oriented, extremely responsive, and so much fun to work with! He made our day so special and we had such a blast with him there! Our entire bridal party said how much fun he was to work with. Everyone truly loved him! We used him for our engagement session as well as our wedding and we were thrilled with how the photos turned out! There wasn't a single bad picture!! He has a gift for using light and backgrounds to get the perfect pictures as well as getting people to smile naturally and have a good time! I am a very picky person when it comes to photos. I wanted a true expert and I couldn't have asked for anything better. Jacek was so much fun, very responsive, got all the family combinations that we asked for, and he has a gift for photography as well as working with people! He played a huge part in how fantastic our wedding day was!! Thank you, Jacek for everything!!!!

    The Best Man for the job!

    Jacek was great to work with from the start! He was able to fit us in to his schedule for our last minute (2 months out) wedding ceremony. He met with us, showed us his work (which was outstanding), and answered all of our questions. He was at our ceremony venue early and got right to work capturing every moment of the day. We were beyond impressed with his attention to detail. He made sure to capture the big moments as well as the smallest of details many would overlook. The picture quality was spot on. We were most impressed with the "candids". Jacek made us laugh throughout the day and has an amazing personality. We also received our pictures in less time than expected. Don't hesitate to give him a call, you won't be disappointed! He is a true artist!

    Can't wait for big day to be captured

    When my fiancé and I started our search for our wedding photographer we wanted to go with a preferred vendor to our venue. From the first meeting via FaceTime with Jacek we knew he would be the perfect photographer for us. He is very personable, cares about the couple and their wants and needs. Jacek was AMAZING to work with for our engagement session. He had us laughing the whole time to feel comfortable in front of the camera. We can’t wait to have him capture our big day June 2022. If you want a great experience for any occasion then Jacek is the guy.

    Best photography experience!

    We worked with Jacek for my brother and sister-in-law's wedding photos, and we cannot emphasize enough what a good man and true professional he is! From our initial outreach Jacek was communicative and reliable, responding to all of our questions via text and call. We love that he offered a free engagement shoot with the wedding photography -- it showed us that he was dedicated to getting excellent photos of the couple and wanted to be fully prepared for their big day. Jacek's positive energy and sense of humor made us feel comfortable and confident, and he captured beautiful photographs that we will treasure forever. He has a magical way of finding the perfect angle, lighting and expressions, and we appreciate the time and work he put in to making sure we all looked our best! 10/10 would recommend every time!

    Jacek is the GOAT

    Jacek was the photographer for our wedding on 4/24/21 at Wood Acres Farms. He is one of their preferred vendors and after looking at his portfolio, my husband and I quickly learned why. Picking out a photographer was the most stressful part of the wedding planning process for me. Your Wedding Day is only 24 hours long, but your wedding photos last forever. It was really important to me to choose someone who I was comfortable with, and I could trust.
    I have always struggled with self-confidence, and I always hate how I look in pictures. Jacek made me feel super comfortable and at ease, which is exactly how you should feel on the biggest day of your life! He told me what to do and where to look, all while being super kind and supportive.
    I was a Covid Bride. My weeding was very small, and mostly close family members. By the end of the night Jacek, was like a part of our family. We even got some great shots of him dancing with my grandma. I am so happy that we choose Jacek and I will cherish our wedding photos for a lifetime.

    A True Artist

    Go no farther if you want the best photographer around Jacek is your guy! When me and my wife were shopping around for wedding venders we had talked to a few photographers and once we met Jacek we both knew we had to book him for our wedding! He is a true professional/artist who really takes pride in his work. He was always available throughout the wedding planning process. A few days before the wedding we were able to meet with him, establish a timeline for our day, and go over some particular shots we really wanted. When the big day finally came Jacek helped keep us relaxed and worked with our other venders to ensure everything went flawlessly. We got married last month at St. Clements Castle and the morning after our wedding we woke up to sneak peak of a few photos and they were absolutely amazing. We can't wait to see the rest! Jacek's ability to go with the flow of the day and capture your moments is a true talent. His photos speak for themselves! There are so many things that go into planning your special day but if you book Jacek that is one thing you won't have to worry about and you won't regret it!

    Every wedding needs Jacek!

    We had a fantastic experience using Jacek as our wedding photographer! From the moment we reached out to book his services Jacek provided the highest level of professionalism and customer service, putting us at ease and making us laugh throughout both the planning stages and wedding day. Jacek met with us (virtually) right off the bat to get a feel for who we were and what we wanted in our photos. My husband and I were worried about looking/feeling awkward during pictures because we’re far from naturals with the camera, but Jacek alleviated that concern in our first conversation. He was easy to communicate with and prompt in responding, and he found ways to make sure we got every picture we wanted despite our tight wedding day timeline. Best of all he was incredibly fun to work with on wedding day. My husband and I and our wedding party had such a great day and Jacek was part of that. He provided a sneak peak of several pictures and they're phenomenal, we cannot wait to see the rest! We’re so thankful to Jacek for capturing our day and cannot recommend him highly enough!

    Very professional and amazing work

    I highly recommend Jacek he is a pleasure to work with and you can tell he takes great pride in his work. I had mine and my fiancés engagement pictures done yesterday and from the beginning he has been very timely with responding and more then willing to work with us. We wanted to take the pics where we got engaged and he was more then willing to come to the location we wanted. He was very passionate about ensuring the lighting was right and helping us figure out what stances would look best for the pictures. He was kind enough to send me a couple sneak peek pics until he finishes the rest and he did this just hours after we finished the shoot! The pictures came out great and the scenery is absolutely breath taking. I can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures and I am very excited to see the pictures he captures the day of the wedding. He is truly passionate about capturing every aspect of a picture and will go to great lengths to get the perfect angle and background while still working with you to make sure your comfortable for the whole thing and he can definitely get you to laugh and have fun during the process. Highly recommended!

    Our photos were so beautiful that our wedding venue selected them to use for its advertisements!

    Jacek was our wedding photographer and we loved his work so much that we used him again for a newborn photo shoot after we had our son. Our wedding venue (La Bella Vista) ended up asking for our permission to use our wedding photos in its advertisements and promotions because they came out so beautifully! Friends and family similarly have raved about our photos. Not only does Jacek have an eye for detail, but he has a way of anticipating and capturing “Kodak moments”-emotional reactions, smiles, winks, lighting, and so much more. He is also very responsive (always got back to me right away), personable, and funny-which helps everyone relax and look natural in the photos. He was also highly professional and helpful in providing information generally about what works best for scheduling and other practical issues that arose during the process. We cannot recommend Jacek enough.

    Mother of the Groom Spectacular!

    More than we could have asked for!!! Spectacular

    How can you expect to capture one of the most important events in your child’s and your family’s life? The answer is to get your photos from Jacek. He is not only an incredibly talented photographer but his dedication to his craft is obvious in the way he manages not only part of a ceremony but the entire event. The wedding pictures will be spectacular. Ours are, there is no question. But what I will forever be thankful for was his understanding that my sons pocket watch was important enough to photograph because it was from his great grandfather. The representation of time through that photo says so much and will be forever cherished. The photos of friends and family capture the event and we are so happy to have them. Your difficulty will be in choosing a few of the myriad of wonderful pictures. Other than the location Jacek was by far the most important part of this wedding. We hope you will be as happy as we are with his work. Mary Ann Kedron

    Incredibly Talented

    From the moment my then fiancé and I hung up with Jacek after our FaceTime consolation we knew we wanted him to capture our first moments as husband and wife. His photos tell the story of our day so incredibly beautifully that it feels like a dream. Not only is Jacek extremely talented, he genuinely loves what he does, and it shows through his work. On a day that can feel so hectic he kept me calm and made sure we had all the important photos covered without being intrusive. He was funny, thoughtful in the moments he captured, and very professional. He entertained the children and captured every cute candid moment that occurred on the sidelines. It was like he was completely aware of what was going on around him. He exceeded our expectations by sending us a sneak peek of a few our photos in the early hours of the following morning. In that moment we knew our final photos would be nothing short of specular, and we were not disappointed. We are so grateful to be able to relive all the moments of our wedding through his work.

    Excellent photographer to capture your special day!

    Jacek photographed our wedding. He is very professional, has a great personality, and provided us with amazing photos! A year and a half later, we had him do another personal photo shoot of us, and again we love the pictures. I highly recommend him!

    Jacek Dolata

    Jacek was amazing! He managed to make me feel comfortable during pictures and I am usually super uncomfortable being in pictures or the center of attention. He created an environment that was fun and warm! I am obsessed with all the pictures that came back!! Still posting them two years later 😍

    Easy, fun, awesome pictures

    Jacek was amazing! From the start he was easy to work with. We live out of state and were unable to meet with him in person, but after our skype session, we knew he was the one we wanted. I spoke with other photographers who seemed pushy and were crazy expensive. From the start, Jacek was flexible, honest, and so fun to talk to!

    Our wedding day was the first hottest day of the year (I'm sure more are to come) and Jacek was a champ! Through the 100+ degrees and humidity he was always upbeat, moved quickly so we could get back inside and at the same time got all of the shots we wanted. Throughout the entire day and night, he was everywhere capturing photos, without being distracting like some photographers can be. Jacek is amazing, we cannot wait to see the pictures!

    Better than we could have imagined!!

    Jacek is so incredibly talented. He worked tirelessly at our wedding and his personality was so fun and down to earth. We spent hours looking through the photos and were amazed at how Jacek was able to capture every moment that he did, and ones we wouldn't have even thought of. So many of our guests commented on how great he was. I am SO glad we found Jacek to capture such an important day!

    Unbelievably Breathtaking Photos

    I can't say enough about Jacek. From the moment we spoke via Skype to receiving our photos, Jacek has been incredible. We got so many amazing shots at our wedding - they looked straight out of a magazine. Since we weren't dong a wedding video, I wanted to make sure our photos and album would be something special, and Jacek did not disappoint. His good-nature put everyone at ease, and he had so many wonderful ideas - plus you know when your photographer is jumping up and down you're going to get some good shots. I would highly recommend Jacek to just about anyone!

    Photography Genius!!

    I cannot say enough about how great Jacek was as our wedding photographer. We got married in October on an unseasonably cold and windy day (mid 30s). This presented quite a few challenges for us the day of. When the day was done, I couldn’t imagine any of the pictures would come out as great as they did. We felt like everything was moving so fast and rushed just to get back indoors. But, somehow Jacek came away with the most breathtaking outdoor fall wedding photos. He had everyone laughing and smiling despite the unbearable cold. It was also really windy but that didn’t matter because Jacek still got the shots. We had our (skittish with strangers) dog there during our first look and were nervous about how this would go. Somehow (and this never happens), our dog sensed that Jacek was a dog person and Jacek worked so well with him and us. We are in love with the pictures. During the reception, his presence wasn’t noticeable (in a very good way) but he got awesome pictures of everyone at the wedding and great action shots on the dance floor. We wholeheartedly recommend Jacek for anyone’s big day, without any reservation. We felt comfortable with him immediately and still hear positive reviews from the wedding party and guests. When we got our pictures, my husband and I spent about 3-4 hours looking through them all. We laughed, we cried, and ultimately couldn’t imagine having a different photographer. Thanks so much for so perfectly capturing our day, Jacek!!

    Everything was perfect!

    I am a big believer in "everything happens for a reason".....when we booked our wedding, we did so only 9 months before our big day, so many vendors were booked on our wedding date, September 21, 2018. Jacek was a referral, of a referral, of a referral. I am eternally grateful things worked out the way they did, because I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jacek and his team! When you look through Jacek's work, you're not just looking at pictures, you're experiencing them. You're feeling them. You feel something with every picture. He has a gift of capturing all of the perfect moments; all of the belly laughs, tears of joy, and best dance moves.
    I couldn't have asked for a better crew to capture our wedding! We are absolutely thrilled with our photos; I never thought I'd have such a difficult time picking my favorites! There are just so many great ones! Jacek was absolutely wonderful to work with, and I cannot recommend him enough!

    Jacek is the MAN! (He is also a photog genius)

    I met Jacek at a Bridal Expo at Waters Edge in Waterford, CT. As I perused around I was really just browsing as I was newly engaged. I came across Jacek's booth and started looking at his photography. I became emotional! His work was amazing. This was in January... I only had become engaged in December. I did my due-bride diligence and researched photographers. It always came back to Jacek. He was great throughout the whole process. Super communicative and honestly a breath of fresh air. I never felt anxious with him. He put me at ease... which is SO important when planning a wedding! Ok... so yeah... the romancing went flawlessly. The BIG DAY! Our wedding was at Harkness Memorial Park in June. He was at our hotel promptly at the time I asked him to be there.... he came to the girls room and his assistant went to the boys room. He was funny... again... I felt SO comfortable. I am terrible at being candid.. It was so easy with Jacek. We get in the limo... its down pouring. Not over-exaggerating.. it is POURING. It dies down a little. I take a walk with Jacek and my other amazing vendors... debating on where to have the ceremony. We decide under the tent.... It's about an hour later... it stops raining, puddles are clearing up... Jacek say's to me, "Jenn, how much do you care about your dress getting dirty?" I said "I mean... I am only going to wear it once." He says that we should do the ceremony outside... the best photography happens in that natural light... I say ef it! Let's do it! We do, and OMG... was he right. He got the most fun shots. Seriously... my guests called him the photography ninja. He was hilarious and he was everywhere. He is a magic moment catcher... He watches, but ever so effortlessly, at least that is what it seems like. He was worth every cent and so was his assistant. He rocked it that day... they both did. You are CRAZY not to have him as your photographer. I wish he could just follow us around in general and get pics of our life haha. Thank you Jacek and your team. I've said it a million times, you were our guy the whole way through!!!

    We wanted to capture the spirit of our event, rather than just record it. We set out looking for a documentary style photographer, someone with a great eye and a more candid feel than what we were seeing in most cookie-cutter wedding photography. After viewing, meeting with and interviewing a few very good photographers, we entrusted Jacek Dolata to document our special day. It was the very best decision we could have made.
    Viewing the images Jacek took on our wedding day makes the whole experience relivable. His photographs are alive, filled with the energy, emotion and nuance that defined each moment as it happened. We walked away with exactly what we wanted, a gallery of naturally authentic, pure memories. Perfect!
    Working with Jacek was a pleasure. Through all of our discussions, meetings and interactions it was clear that his entire focus was to please us. He asked us perceptive, probing questions to really get to the core of what we were looking for, and then he delivered it. Respectful, thorough and extremely hard-working, he was everywhere throughout our ceremony and reception – we have the photos to prove it - but we hardly noticed he was there. He was completely unobtrusive, steadily getting the coverage he needed, while never distracting from the main event - us.
    I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Jacek. I am very grateful he is as good at what he does as he is.

    You can tell how much of his heart he puts into his work just by looking at his photos. Jacek went above and beyond as our wedding photographer. I truly cannot stop looking at every detail of the moments he captured for us. What an eye.

    Jacek was the perfect photographer match for our wedding and an absolute pleasure to work with. He was amazing at capturing our energetic and at times rowdy bridal party, working with outdoor conditions, and multiple locations. His photos are the perfect mix of classic and informal. When my husband and I looked at our photos we found not only all of the special moments we discussed with Jacek that were important to us as a couple but quite a few amazing impromptu surprises such as the groom and his first love our german shepard, our exit from the church, and the bridal party entrances. A true professional and master of his craft, Jacek knows how to get it done and have a great time doing it!

    My husband and I got married last July and used Jacek as our photographer. We looked into many photographers before settling with Jacek and we couldn't find a better price for what we got. Jacek included our engagement session, wedding books for us and both sets of our parents (which came out beautiful), and gave us additional prints of our choice all within the package. Jacek was also there to answer any questions along the way and we are so happy with all of his work!

    My husband and I got married in December (2016). We couldn't have been happier with Jacek's services. He strikes that hard to achieve balance between being personable and professional. He made the actual wedding day much more relaxing than I would have expected. He got through all of our family photos more efficiently than I could have imagined yet didn't cut any corners. The actual quality of his photos is extraordinary. He uses a photojournalistic style and managed to capture many candid moments that my husband and I will cherish. For example, when my brother was speaking he knew to photograph my brother's wife who had tears in her eyes. Also, jacek was always quick to reply to email or text message throughout the planning process. His price and his contract were fair. And we received our digital photos within a few weeks of the event, as promised. I can't speak highly enough of Jacek and would use him for future events in a heartbeat. I'd recommend him highly to any of my friends and would feel confident promising that they will be happy with his work.

    Jacek is an amazing photographer and I'd recommend him to anyone. When our cousin was planning her wedding and asked about a photographer we said Jacek is the absolute best. She did decide to go with him. We can't wait to see him again. He shot our wedding and he did a absolutely amazing job. Jacek is very professional, very relaxed, he jokes with you and make you feel comfortable he takes the stress out of the day, which is what every couple needs. Our pictures are amazing., the quality of his work is outstanding. The Wedding Albums also looks absolutely amazing. The man is worth every penny. Thank you Jacek for capturing our moments. You're the best!

    Jacek captured our attention when we met him at a bridal show with his passion and honesty. Jacek is a true photographer, not just a man with a good camera. We quickly set up a meeting and discussed what we were looking for. We were impressed with the photo’s he showed us and his ideas! We loved his personality and booked him for our engagement photos and wedding day!
    The day of our engagement shoot came and we were so nervous! Jacek’s personality quickly loosened us up making the shoot a lot of fun! In under two hours we captured eight different outdoor settings for photos! Jacek was doing everything to capture the perfect shots including crawling on the ground in high grass and making us laugh for the best smiles. We enjoyed our time with Jacek and hoped the photos would reflect it.
    Within a couple weeks we received the engagement photos and WOW were we impressed! The photo’s showed how much of good time we had and the love we have for each other. The different settings gave us so many options for our guest book album. Guests at the wedding were very impressed by it!
    The day of the wedding we had Jacek and a second shooter, Conrad. Both were excellent! The teamwork they had allowed us to get so many more photo’s than we thought there would be time for. Our limo was late but both photographers took advantage of the time so no time was truly wasted. Not a moment or guest was missed from our ceremony or reception. They captured all the traditional moments, fun times, personalities, and raw emotions impeccably! Jacek and our DJ Frank at LMX Productions coordinated together perfectly! At no time were things not running flawlessly! We truly enjoyed our day with Jacek and Conrad!
    We both strongly recommend the services of Jacek Dolata Photography for capturing every moment from your special day! We both look forward to using Jacek again in the future for more memorable life events!

    Amazing photographer! Used him for our wedding in Stamford, CT in September 2016. He knows how to make people break out of their shell and he captures moments so perfectly. Well experienced and makes you feel so comfortable. Great personality and easy to work with! My husband and I love the photos he captured on our wedding day. Received our USB album within 2 weeks too. Amazing!

    Jacek was AMAZING! From our first meeting and through the process Jacek shared our vision and delivered! We are incredibly happy with both our engagement session AND our wedding day photos! Jacek found unique to capture our true selves in still photography. He even did amazing work including our family dog in our engagement session! We were on a budget and Jacek was incredibly flexible when working with us! He took the time to research our venue and locate special places to take photos. Our finished wedding album is stunning!!! He devoted an extensive amount of time to our special day and we can't thank him enough!!

    Jacek is an excellent photographer and I'd recommend him to anyone. He shot a wedding that I was the best man in, and he did a wonderful job. Very professional, very relaxed, but still managed to have fun and make it fun at the same time, and to top it all off, the photos were immaculate.

    Jacek took our wedding photos and my husband and I were impressed and wowed from the moment we met him. His passion for his work radiates through conversations and through his work. Not only did he make us feel comfortable around the camera he was very knowledgable and advised us on other non-photography wedding things. He goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy and satisfied with any and all outcomes and he makes sure he communicates constantly with anything you need. We couldn’t be happier with our choice.

    I was really impressed with Jacek & his photos he took of our wedding. My wife and I were thrilled with the images he captured. We both looked great because he knew how to take flattering and interesting shots. He worked fast and got all of the moments that we hoped for. Plus, he was even willing to come to NYC to shoot our engagement session. Jacek was friendly, unobtrusive, and helped us (and all of our guests) feel relaxed, happy, and photogenic.

    I’m a local wedding vendor and work with a lot of various photographers. I’m highly critical on other vendors so when I write an exceptional review, it should go a long way. Jacek is among the best wedding photographers in CT or even surrounding NY, NJ, RI, MA. His documentary style wedding photography is worthy of prizes and his awards demonstrate this quality. Jacek is reasonably priced which means his affordable wedding photography services are a real value since you will have the best wedding photos. Jacek is creative so if you’re into creative wedding photos, you can’t beat him. His photo journalistic documentary style means he will capture your true emotions because you won’t even know you’re being photographed. Jacek captures images that most photographers will miss. When you require simply the best wedding photographer for your CT wedding, Jacek will capture some gorgeous images which the competition will miss.

    Jacek is a cut above the rest!! He is extremely talented & very passionate about his work. For our outdoor wedding reception, he captured the most beautiful photos that had a magical quality of light. He took all of the family standard shots in such an efficient way that my husband & I even got a chance to enjoy our cocktail hour! He was not in our face or intrusive during the wedding at all, yet he still got all of the shots. He was so well organized & he always returned my calls or emails very quickly. Jacek loves to photograph & the proof of that is obvious in the stunning photos he takes. He is an artist & was a joy to work with. My husband, my family, and I are so glad that he was our photographer. I could not be happier - I HIGHLY RECOMMEND JACEK!

    Jacek was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process! He was my sister's photographer at her wedding and he was fantastic so when my husband and I got engaged we asked her for his information. Jacek responded within hours of us emailing every single time. He was so flexible about everything. He and his assistant, Conrad, made us feel so comfortable while doing pictures and got genuine laughs out of us with their hysterical comments. He even gave me his jacket because it was cold and snowing on our wedding day! Additionally the pictures are absolutely amazing and we cannot wait to order photos and make a photo book. From black and white to creative to romantic pictures, he does it all. Also, just one week after our wedding Jacek had put up albums on his website so we could see it all again. We could not have imagined a better photographer and are so thrilled we chose him. We are already trying to figure out the next time we can utilize his services again! If you live in the Connecticut, Massachusetts, or New York area there is no better, more wonderful, more responsive photographer you could ask for. He is very reasonably priced and worth every penny.

    I am so thankful that my Father hired Jacek Dolata as a photographer on our wedding. My Mom is so impressed with photos that she is carrying our luxury 12X12 wedding album with her every day. She has been showing our wedding photos to everyone she knows. We are all fascinated how memories could be preserved in photographs that Jacek took. He is an artist with amazing work skills and talent. I didn't realize how important it was to get really good photographer until I saw the photos of our wedding.We have albums in every room in our home. I even found it in my Father's car. He told me that he was showing our photos to the guys in the golf club. We agreed that Jacek will be our family photographer for a future.

    Jacek was a very last minute replacement for my primary photographer who informed me that due to illness he & his second would be unable to do my event just a week before my big day!! He (my original) found me two incredible replacements and they were FANTASTIC!! Jacek is an ARTIST! He had amazing ideas and the pictures came out beautiful. He was extremely quick getting editted copies back to me and made them available for me online almost immediately. He had the most incredible vision, a true artist. My favorite picture is of myself and my husband in our beautiful pristine wedding garb in front of an old run down graffitti ridden gas station. That picture means the most to me out of all of my beautiful pictures for many reasons. The contrast is gorgeous and I hope more couples are adventurous and trust Jacek and his seemingly outrageous ideas. Well worth it!!

    I was very pleased with the service and quality of photographs provided by Jacek. He was very creative, focused on the details, and patient. Most importantly he was not in a hurry and wanted to make sure he got it right. All and all I was very pleased with his level of service and would be happy to work with him again.

    Jacek photographed our wedding in 2012 and it was a true pleasure working with him. He is very friendly, has a good sense of humor, but most importantly he takes really amazing shots. He managed to capture the best moments of the day in a very creative manner. The shots are very natural and he truly captures the atmosphere of the day. We were very happy with the photos he delivered and on top of that he delivered them in a timely fashion. We have also worked with Jacek for other family events and were just as happy. I would highly recommend working with Jacek!

    We had Jacek Dolata photograph our daughter's birthday. Jacek works wonderfully with children and adults. He was even able to take some great pet photos! He is able to get some great shots without intruding on the moment. He keeps things relaxed and comfortable. I would highly recommend him for any event.

    We are a nonprofit organization and Jacek photographed our annual summit on financial education. When our photographer pulled out at the last minute Jacek did everything to accommodate us in his schedule and ensured that even though it was a last minute booking that it was still affordable. He was on time and very professional during the whole day long event. He was able to capture all of the speakers, but also candid shots of the participants. After the event he delivered the print and web ready photographs very quickly.
