The first message
The date, the venue, and a few words about your wedding. I will ask about everything that matters most.
All it takes is a message.

Your day, told in light

How I work at a wedding
Preparation you can see in the photographs.
As a wedding photographer I work both in Poland and in Italy: from elegant receptions at home to intimate ceremonies in Tuscany, on Lake Como or in Apulia. Every place is different, but the way I work stays the same.
I arrive early, get to know the place and watch how the light changes through the day. I talk to the planners and map out the reportage so that on the wedding day nothing pulls my attention away from you.
That way, on the wedding day I can focus on what is happening. I bring a feel for fashion photography to the reportage.
You do not have to think about the photographs. You can simply live your day.

Weddings and how I photograph them
From the first message to the last memory.
Let’s meet
You tell me about your day and your plans, and along the way we find out whether we get on. Then I prepare an offer tailored to your wedding.
We meet online.

We plan together
I help shape the timeline of the day, suggest solutions and share the experience I have gathered across more than 300 weddings.
Once the contract is signed, I don’t disappear.

The wedding day
I will guide you when it is needed, and for the rest of the day I let you simply be yourselves.
You live it. I keep watch.
After the wedding
It is usually ready within 1.5–3 months of the wedding.
You get your gallery.

One of three hundred stories
Kinga and Mateusz, Abruzzo.

Abruzzo · Italy
It all began the day before, at a pizza party in Abruzzo. Chef Marco made pizza on the spot, and there was wine, cheese and time to talk with the people closest to them.

The next day Kinga got ready in the castle-like interiors of Convento San Panfilo, and Mateusz calmly, with his dad and brother. When they met in the garden, Mateusz looked truly stunned.
After the ceremony, flower petals rained down on the couple. A few got caught in Kinga's hair, and a moment later someone gently picked them out.
A few words from couples
The couples who lived it tell it best.

Dear all, we thought choosing a “wedding photographer” was a simple matter, settled by the obvious criteria… nothing could be further from the truth.
On the other side of the lens, in Adrianna, we found far more than a professional eye. In the fleeting, solemn moments her character and craft take over, completely imperceptible to the guests. And so, unnoticed on the wedding day itself, we delight to this day in an absolutely superb gallery of memories.
What also mattered to us was her work with the other vendors, built on genuinely collegial ground. We honestly could not say when or where that watchful eye was composing frame after frame — in a warm atmosphere, in easy contact with our guests and the whole room.
Adrianna… we could not have dreamed of anyone better in that place. Thank you.

If we were choosing a photographer again, we would make the same decision.
Ada was the photographer at our wedding in Tuscany, where she spent three days with us — from the engagement session to the day-after outdoor shoot. Put simply, we could not have chosen a better person to capture moments this special to us.
Above all, she created an atmosphere we felt completely comfortable in, and the photographs exceeded our expectations. She was engaged, professional and a genuine joy to be around. We are beyond grateful for this keepsake, and we cannot recommend her enough.
We could allow ourselves the truest emotions.
Ada photographed our wedding in Tuscany and I could not have dreamed of a better person. Even though neither I nor my (now!) husband ever felt at ease in front of a camera, with Ada everything was simple and natural — we felt safe, and thanks to that we could allow ourselves the truest emotions.
The result is breathtaking photographs that move us every single time we look at them. I recommend her with all my heart.

See yourself through a fashion photographer’s eye.
-
Different from the mirror.
Most of the time we see ourselves the way we are used to: in the mirror, in everyday light, in a constant rush that rarely leaves time just for ourselves.
Want to see yourself the way you see the women on covers, in campaigns, on Instagram?
-
A session planned around you.
I have worked with women, models and fashion projects for years. I know how to use light, posture, movement and posing to bring out what you may not notice in yourself day to day.
-
A consultation first.
You don’t need to know what to wear or how to pose. We start with a consultation, choose the styling together, and take care of hair and make-up on site.
I’m Ada
I like photographs with character. The light should be beautiful, the mood fashion and editorial, with a touch of madness in the frame, and above all, you.
I like the moment everything stops being perfect just as much. Someone bursts out laughing, the wind does its thing, and the plan for the day quietly ceases to exist. Perhaps that is why my photographs are a little like me: 80% perfection and 20% complete madness.
As a wedding photographer I have 12 years of experience and more than 300 weddings behind me, in Poland and in Italy. At weddings I stay close, but never in your way. I watch, I react, sometimes I suggest something, sometimes I ease the tension, and sometimes I am simply there, where something important is happening.
You take care of living it.
I will take care of the rest.

Everything couples ask before their first message.

Where do you photograph weddings?
I photograph weddings all over Poland and abroad, especially in Italy. I work in Tuscany, Umbria, Puglia, on Lake Como and along the Amalfi Coast, among other places. Planning your wedding somewhere else? Write to me.
We can’t pose and the camera makes us nervous. Will we manage in front of the lens?
Of course. And you really don’t need to know how to pose. For the frames that need a little more direction, I’ll show you what to do and where to stand. For most of the day you won’t even think about the camera: I’ll be watching, looking for moments and letting you simply be together. On the day I talk with you, ease the tension and help when help is needed.
What if the weather turns?
Rain, harsh sun or wind do not end the photographs. I look for a way to use what the day gives us, and if the plan has to change, we change it.
When will we get the photographs?
You usually receive the finished gallery within 1.5–3 months of the wedding. I know you will be waiting for it impatiently, so I make sure it never takes longer than it has to.
Can we ask for particular photographs / show you our inspirations?
Of course, show me the photographs you like. I don’t copy them one to one: I take what you like about them and make it into a photograph that is yours.
How does booking a date and signing the contract work?
First we meet at an online consultation and talk about your wedding, your plans and what you need from me. On that basis I prepare an individual offer. If you feel we share the same vibe, we sign the contract online, and once the deposit is paid the date is yours.
