We are beyond grateful for the story you’ve told through your photos

Yolanta! We could never have dreamed of a better wedding photographer than you.

It was such a gamble – reaching out to you just two weeks before our wedding, full of hope after coming across your profile. But we instantly fell in love with your style and just knew you matched our vibe.

You responded with an energy that was exactly what we needed in the midst of all the pre-wedding stress. You were calm, you asked the right questions to help us focus on what truly mattered that day, and it felt incredible to be met with such skill and passion for what you do.

Having you by our side on the biggest day of our lives was nothing short of amazing. You kept that same energy going, making us feel completely at ease and natural. You fit in immediately – no awkward warm-up, no friction, just effortless connection.

And then. The delivery. The photos. It’s not just the subjects you captured – it’s the emotions in every single image that fill us with love every time we look at them. We are beyond grateful for the story you’ve told through your photos. We’ll keep coming back to them, and they’ll always bring us back to how that day felt for us. And for that, we truly can’t thank you enough.

A few that feel extra special to us are, of course, the ones with our daughters. And then the portraits of just the two of us—inside the palace and out on the street. They are incredible.

Pure, raw, and elegant

We all know you’re an incredible photographer, but apparently you’re also an amazing videographer? We are forever grateful to you for capturing the essence and emotions of our wedding day – not only did you fulfill all our requests, but you completely exceeded our (very high!) expectations. Having you film our wedding was one of the best decisions we made!

There’s nothing traditional about your work – it’s pure, raw, and elegant.

I love the moment when the dinner and party part of the film begins. The way you dared to choose background music we hadn’t requested—and absolutely nailed it—was such a success. That section instantly transports me back to that feeling of walking through the rain to the venue, finally sitting down, and just soaking it all in.

The form we filled out beforehand wasn’t just a great way to communicate our wishes with you—it also helped us align and really articulate our vision. That was so valuable.

I’ve already been recommending you to others (wish you weren’t booked on that date!), and I’ll absolutely continue to do so.

Yolanta truly brought the energy and vibe of our wedding into these images

Yolanta, how do we begin? We loved having you at our wedding! From the very start of the day to the very end, I felt so comfortable having you around – and the photos you captured are just incredible. We cried, laughed, smiled, and relived every emotion of the day when we received them. You truly brought the energy and vibe of our wedding into these images.

From the moment we met you, it felt like you were a friend – like we had known you forever, and you just got us. We threw a tight schedule your way, and you still delivered beyond all expectations! Truly, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

It was so impressive how you handled such a large group and made everything look so effortless and natural. We love the candid shots – looking at them, we feel like we’re right back in the moment again.

You understood our vibe from the very beginning – it was a perfect match! Your attention to detail, your thoughtful preparation, everything made this experience so special.

We will tell everyone about you!!!

We’ve already had so many comments on our photos… even acquaintances in Australia are reaching out to Amelia saying how cool and amazing they are!!

Exceeded all our expectations

Yolanta – where do we even begin? From start to finish, working with you has been so incredibly professional. Your communication, the thoughtful questions you asked before the wedding (which made us reflect on ourselves and our relationship in ways we hadn’t before), the way you guided us on the day, and finally – the delivery of the photos – wow, wow, wow! You exceeded all our expectations, and the gratitude we feel for having these memories captured forever is just priceless.

One of our favorite photos is from the dinner, where Erik has his hand on his father’s back. It’s such a beautiful shot in every way—completely spontaneous, a small gesture filled with so much love. We absolutely adore it.

The way you guided us – so directly yet warmly – made us feel completely at ease, even though we’re not used to being in front of a camera. The mix of cozy family moments, laughter, hugs, happy tears, cool poses, and wild party shots is just incredible. You captured every moment and every emotion so naturally.

We’d recommend you to everyone we know. We can’t emphasize enough how amazing this whole experience has been. You’re the best!

Our family and friends are just as blown away by the photos as we are – and we lost count of how many people told us how cool you are. You’re pure magic! Thank you for everything!

The final result was beyond what we could have ever wished for

Yolanta, we don’t even know where to begin! You captured our day exactly as we experienced it in the moment – if not even better. You made us, our families, and our friends feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and honestly, we’ve never felt as good as we do in your photos! We were so impressed by your creativity and how you had such a clear vision for every shot, making it easy for us to know how to pose and move. And of course, the final result was beyond what we could have ever wished for – not surprising, given how incredibly professional and confident you are in your work. Words can’t express how happy we are with every single image you captured. Saying you're an amazing photographer is an understatement!

We love all the creative shots you took of us with our bridal party—and, of course, the stunning portraits of just the two of us. Your photos reflect our love so beautifully, without ever feeling cheesy or cliché.

We were blown away by how quick-thinking and creative you were in the moment. It was like you could already see the shot in your mind before taking it, which made everything flow so smoothly and effortlessly. We were also so impressed by how discreetly you captured every moment during the ceremony – no one even noticed you were there. True photographer ninja!

We will 100% recommend you to everyone! And we’re already trying to find an excuse to hire you again in the future!

Yolanta truly captured our day in a way we’ll cherish forever

It’s so hard to pick just one highlight – every photo is AMAZING! The way you captured the emotions of the day is just incredible. Some of our favorites are the ones of us laughing together in the living room at Villa Alma before the ceremony, and that moment when I walked into the church and met our son's gaze on the way up the aisle. Walking through the streets of Visby with our squad made us feel like movie stars – that was such a special moment!

We really appreciated the suggested schedule and the way you planned out locations for all the photography throughout the day – it felt so reassuring and professional. And when we finally sat down with a glass of champagne to go through the photos, we were completely blown away. They exceeded every expectation. You truly captured our day in a way we’ll cherish forever.

We’d recommend you to anyone who wants amazing wedding photos!

Keep doing what you do – your work is incredible!

Fresh, edgy, and truly unique

Working with you was everything we hoped for – and so much more! From the very start, you made us feel completely supported, capturing our wedding in a way that felt fresh, edgy, and truly unique. Your eye for detail and artistic vision are just incredible – you found angles and moments we never would have expected, and the results are breathtaking. Every photo feels like a work of art, bringing us right back to the day in a way that’s anything but typical. We’re beyond grateful to have found someone who could capture our wedding with such originality and emotion. These are memories we’ll cherish forever!

We’re so glad you captured the moments after Andy sang to me – that was such an unexpected and emotional moment for both of us, and now we get to relive it through your lens. Also, love all the little videos you took!

Your direction was so helpful, especially with all the nerves and emotions running high – it made such a difference!

Will recommend you to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

Yolanta captured our day in the most stunning and unique way

We feel so honored to have had you as our photographer for our summer wedding in the Swedish Archipelago. You captured our day in the most stunning and unique way, and your photos are just beyond! On top of that, you’re so much fun, full of character, and incredibly professional – we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you for everything, Yolanta.

We love all the pictures, and it was amazing that you chose and sent over your personal favorites the same night as the wedding! Those shots still resonate so much with us—they're some of our absolute favorites too.

You’re incredibly professional and took the time to understand us and what we wanted well in advance, which we really appreciated. What’s even more impressive is that we only got in touch six weeks before the wedding, and somehow, you still managed to work your magic! The fact that you even arrived a whole day early to scout the perfect locations on the island shows just how dedicated you are.

10/10—wouldn’t want to work with anyone else!
