WOW, just wow. We can’t stop smiling (and maybe crying a little) looking at our wedding photos. You nailed it!! The energy, the emotions, the details — all of it. You made us feel so comfortable and the results are beyond what we could’ve dreamed of. You’re the best ever!

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer. From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely excited throughout the entire process. On the wedding day, she captured every special moment so naturally and beautifully - from the big emotional moments to the small candid details we didn’t even notice at the time.
The photos turned out absolutely stunning and truly tell the story of our day. Her professionalism, creativity and calm presence made such a difference and so many of our guests commented on how wonderful she was to work with.
We are incredibly grateful for the memories she captured and will treasure these photos forever. We would wholeheartedly recommend Monika to any couple looking for someone talented, kind and passionate about what she does.

Monika is the most incredible photographer, not only does she have a keen eye for detail but she really understands that the best photos are the ones where people feel comfortable.
We met Monika for the first time on an engagement shoot. This allowed us to become really comfortable in front of the camera ahead of the big day. Both the engagement and wedding photos came out incredible and we can't recommend her enough!

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for such a special moment. ❤️
What surprised me the most was finding out afterwards how much Monika had helped my fiancé plan the proposal. She was in constant contact with him, helped him choose the perfect location, and made sure everything went smoothly. Knowing this now makes me appreciate her even more.
During the shoot, she was so friendly, patient and encouraging. She guided us naturally and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera.
The photos are absolutely beautiful. Every time I look at them, I get emotional and relive the moment all over again. The sunset beach photos are especially stunning and capture the happiness and emotions of the day perfectly.
Thank you, Monika, for all your help, professionalism and positive energy. We now have the most amazing memories to look back on for the rest of our lives. I would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a photographer who genuinely cares about her clients and goes the extra mile to make their special moments unforgettable. ❤️✨📸

We had Monika as a second shooter at our wedding, working alongside our amazing photographer, Nicole - they were an absolute dream team!
Monika brought such a calming presence to the day, even during the hectic post ceremony family shots. Well done on managing a large crowd, she truly fit right in! Not only did she capture our wedding beautifully, but she also went above and beyond -helping me with my dress and long veil so I didn’t trip, and checking in on me throughout the day to make sure I was okay.
We felt comfortable with Monika straight away and are so grateful that Nicole introduced her to us. We absolutely love our stunning preview gallery and feel so lucky to have not one, but two sets of gorgeous photos to look back on!
One of my absolute favourite shots (which I’ll share with this post!) is where Monika had all my bridesmaids hold their bouquets around me, what a vision! It’s absolutely beautiful. I haven’t stopped sharing it with friends and family, and it’s a photo I’ll treasure forever.
Thank you, Monika, for capturing our special day with such care, creativity, and kindness.

We recently worked with Monika on a shoot, she made us feel super comfortable as this was our first time being in front of the camera in a public setting for our engagement/civil style shoot. She was great at helping us pose for shots while also capturing beautiful candid moments of us in between. We had so much fun getting our photos taken by her and loved the entire experience!! Soon after the shoot, we got our edited photos back and couldn’t stop admiring all the beautifully edited shots! Monika has such a warm romantic and cinematic style which we LOVE so much and to this day we go back to admire those photos she took of us.
I’d highly recommend booking Monika for your wedding/civil ceremony/engagement shoots if you’re looking for dreamy, warm, romantic and cinematic shots of you & your partner! Thank you so much Monika for these beautiful photos that we will cherish forever

Monika photographed our post-wedding session at Cistercian Abbey in Lubiąż and it was absolutely beautiful! Even though we’re not huge fans of being in front of the camera and usually find photos quite stressful, we had such an amazing time with Monika in the most beautiful setting - full of joy, ease and natural moments. Monika truly takes an individual approach to every couple, and you can see how passionate and dedicated she is about what she does. She took the time to understand what we wanted to avoid, what type of images spoke to us, and the style we felt most comfortable with. She suggested ideas and moments where we felt completely relaxed and natural, which made the whole experience feel perfectly tailored to us. The warmth and atmosphere she brought made every photo feel full of emotion, light and genuine happiness. It’s such a beautiful memory that truly reflects us and exactly how we felt that day. We wholeheartedly recommend Monika - she’s not only an incredibly talented photographer, but also a wonderful person who makes creating memories such a special experience.

Monika captured our day beautifully. She was efficient without seeming rushed, she really cares about making sure we got the result we wants and we hardly knew she was there for the candid photos and she was excellent at directing us for the group & couple shots. We’re so happy with our pics. 100% recommend

Our photo session took place in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We had the pleasure of working with Monika during our trip to Gran Canaria. She proved to be a positive, kind, helpful, open and genuinely engaged person . It was a wonderful time spent together with natural photos capturing real emotions (no artificial posing or staging). The final results are absolutely stunning!!! Beautiful photos and a cherished keepsake for a lifetime. We highly recommend her and look forward to meeting again for another session in a different corner of the world!
