Radoslaw Rachwal Photography

It's hard to pick just one. There are at least a few on my top highlight list. From intimate weddings to full-fat wedding days in the castle. If I had to pick just one, it would be my first wedding during the lockdown in Scottish Highlands. We still weren't allowed to travel except for elopements. It was so strange as the whole Highlands were completely deserted. There was only me, the celebrant, and the couple.

My photography style is warm and moody. Warm like my personality and moody like Scotland. Romantic, candid, and memorable.

The progress. I look back to 2020 and see how my photography evolved on artistic and business level. It's a good journey in the right direction.

Firstly find a venue that you think resonates well with you and is within your budget. Start to plan at least one year before. The supplier's calendar filling up quickly! Once you'll be sure about the venue, date, wedding dress, and florist - pick your wedding photographer with the style you also like the most. A wedding day is a blur, the cake will be eaten, and the flowers will die, but your photos will stay forever.

At the barn wedding, guests received a small, home made bottles of "schnapps" beverage, to make a toast for the luck, as the bride's family originated from Bavaria.

I really like to met the couple before we even sign up for the contract. It's usually a video call these days. I like to connect on more personal level to see if we are a good fit. I know it's a business but at the end of the day, it reduce potential awkwardness and helping to get along together on the wedding day. I do realise that most people are not designed to be natural at front of the camera. To me, the main goal is to be natural. When we are committed, I usually sending a questionnaire to be sure I don't miss any important details from your wedding day.

I believe there are no rules on what a couple should do or don't in wedding photography. There are a must-have key moments to capture during the wedding I take care of. But what is dependable on the couple's decision during the day, are the portrait shoots. Trust your photographer and follow him when he thinks this is the right moment to do them.

I can't remember I ever was asked for. I captured original photos as a documentary.

I live in Scotland. It's an everyday life with the rain. Umbrellas are the must. Clear ones are nice. We can get some cool photos with them too. Make sure you'll keep your wedding day entertaining. Photo booth

I always was fascinated by the still images. The rules that makes photo bad or good. After many years spent in the office as a retoucher, I decided to change that and make a living from photographing a happy moments. Moments that people will be looking at for many years. Wedding industry was a perfect choice.
