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

Your day, told in light
Italy · Poland · USA
Method not chance
I leave nothing to chance.
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. I get to know the space. I watch the light at different hours of 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 is what lets me catch the spontaneous emotion and still take care of how every frame looks. I bring a fashion sensibility to the reportage — one that makes every couple look natural and, at the same time, exceptional.
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
We meet online.
I want to hear about your day, your dreams and your plans. It is the moment we find out whether we are on the same wavelength. Based on our conversation, I prepare an offer tailored to your wedding.

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

The wedding day
You live it. I keep watch.
I will guide you when it is needed, and for the rest of the day I let you simply be yourselves. My goal is for you to forget the camera and focus only on each other.
Your story stays with you
A few weeks later you receive the finished photographs — the ones you will come back to not just tomorrow, but ten or twenty years from now.

One of three hundred stories
I remember every wedding differently. Let me tell you about one of them.

Abruzzo · Italy
It all began the day before. A pizza party in the heart of Abruzzo, a long table full of local flavours, and the fifty closest people who came to Italy not just for a wedding, but above all for shared memories.

The next day was only more beautiful. A calm morning, tears during the preparations, and a ceremony where it was hard to find anyone who didn't wipe their eyes at least once.
What I remember most, though, is the moment Kinga sat down on the bed and wrote a letter to Mateusz. Not for him to read before the ceremony. He was to open it only... on their first wedding anniversary.
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.

The studio a new version of you
See yourself through a fashion photographer’s eye.
-
See yourself differently.
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? It’s possible.
-
See the best version of yourself.
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. The whole session is designed to show you that version of you.
-
You show up. We handle the rest.
You don’t need to know what to wear, how to pose or how to prepare. We start with a consultation, choose the styling together, and take care of hair and make-up on site. All you have to do is come and let yourself be guided.
I’m Ada
I like photographs with character. Refined, but not directed. Beautiful light, a fashion, editorial mood and a touch of madness — but 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.
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.
Before you ask
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. If you are planning your wedding somewhere else — write to me. Destination weddings are absolutely possible.
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 that day I am not only your photographer. I am also the person keeping a finger on the pulse. I talk, I ease the tension, I help when help is needed, and I make sure you feel that someone is watching over all of it. Your job is to live your day — I know what to do.
What if the weather turns?
There is no bad weather for photography — only different conditions to adapt to. Rain, harsh sun or wind do not mean the end of the photographs. I always look for a way to use what the day gives us. And if the plan has to change, we simply change the plan.
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?
Certainly — you can show me the photographs you like. I treat them as inspiration, though, not as a script to reproduce. I don’t want to make you a copy of a frame from Pinterest. I would rather take what you like about it and create something that is genuinely 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.
