wedding & elopement photography in Italy
serving Lake Como, Lake Garda & beyond
Natural. Joyful. Relaxed.
candid moments & gentle guidance when you need it
You don’t have to spend your wedding day in stiff poses to have beautiful photos.
It should be about celebrating your love with whomever you choose… And having a photographer who makes you feel comfortable enough to let go of any self-consciousness so you can have the time of your life.
Neither of us is particularly comfortable in front of the camera, but with Karolina it never felt staged or awkward.
From the very first meeting we felt an immediate sense of relief. She made everything feel easy, natural and even fun. She guided us gently and created such a relaxed atmosphere that we could simply be ourselves. And the pictures… more than amazing. Looking back, choosing her was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.
VERONIKA & CATALIN
Hi, ciao, ahoj,
I’m Karolina, a wedding photographer in Northern Italy, based in Pavia, near Milan.
An expat from the Czech Republic, I moved to Italy for amore (and maybe just a little bit for the food too).
I’ve been a full-time professional photographer for more than 10 years, and my style has been maturing with me: a blend of documentary photography with a bit of guidance. So if you ever feel at a loss about what to do or how to hold your bouquet, I’m there, ready to help. Otherwise, I photograph you having the time of your life in an amazing place, surrounded by love. The result is a gallery full of natural candid photos with a selection of relaxed portraits.
She was a constant presence, yet extremely discreet and gentle…
My husband and I couldn’t be happier to have chosen Karolina as our wedding photographer, both professionally and personally. Karolina is extremely empathetic and has a remarkable ability to get in tune with people. We didn’t need many conversations about what we wanted from our wedding photos—she immediately understood that we wanted to experience our day naturally and spontaneously, and she exceeded all our expectations.
…close enough to capture the most special moments without ever being intrusive.
