About me<\/div>\n\n\n

Marcin Krokowski, wedding photographer in Warsaw<\/h1>\n\n\n

Before you let me spend a whole day with your family, you have every right to know who I am and how I look at things. What follows is a letter, not a CV.<\/p><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Hello,<\/h2>\n\n\n

My name is Marcin and I photograph weddings.<\/p>\n\n\n

I am from M\u0142awa, I grew up in Marki and I live in Warsaw. I mention it because half the venues I work at sit along that same road, and I do not need a map to find them.<\/p>\n\n\n

I started in 2012 with event photography: parties, trade fairs and conferences in Warsaw. They taught me one thing that has stayed with me: the best frames happen when nobody remembers I am there. Between 2016 and 2018 I photographed the weddings of friends, and since 2018 I have done it for good.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

How I look at it<\/div>\n\n\n

I like muted colours, detail and emotion, and often black and white. While I work I use previews with the colour stripped out, so that I watch the light and the story rather than how nicely something glimmers. Colour is an extra here, not the subject.<\/p>\n\n\n

What I am after is photographs you can still look at in twenty years, without being able to tell which year’s editing fashion they came from.<\/p>\n\n\n

On the wedding day<\/div>\n\n\n

I am with you the whole day: from getting ready, through the ceremony, to the dancing. Close, but discreet enough not to make you self-conscious.<\/p>\n\n\n

Along the way it usually turns out that I am not only the photographer. I end up being a witness, sometimes a driver, and sometimes the person who knows how to pin a boutonniere and tie a bow tie. You will probably also ask me why Nikon and not Canon.<\/p>\n\n\n

I work alone, and that is the default.<\/strong> For larger weddings I can put together a team: a second photographer, a videographer, sometimes several people. I say so at the first conversation, because it is a decision we make together, not a line added to a package.<\/p>\n\n\n

I would rather be a companion than the photographer<\/h3>\n\n\n

See you soon,<\/p>

Marcin<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n

The best photographer I have had the chance to work with, both professionally (at events) and privately (Marcin took our wedding photographs). Open to ideas, self-reliant, true to his word and extremely likeable. I recommend him 100%!<\/p>

If you do not know whether we will get on, there is a cheaper way to find out than a Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n

I will say it plainly, because few people in this trade do: it may turn out that we are not a good match. I am direct and sometimes ironic. Most couples like that, because nothing gets stiff, but it is not for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n

I would rather you found that out on a session than on the Saturday itself, when there is no second chance. A session takes two to four hours, you get at least 60 edited photographs from it, and in Package 3 it is included.<\/p>\n\n\n

See what is in the packages<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

Great photographs from the engagement session – unconventional, inventive frames and superb quality. I recommend him without hesitation<\/p>
