I am a Polish photographer and filmmaker who has been residing in Costa Rica since 2016. My specialization lies in wedding and elopement photography (many of you ask if I do engagements, couple portraits, family photos, proposals - and the answer is Yes of course!) If you're curious to know more, here's the longer story of how my journey in photography began and why I chose Costa Rica as my place to call home.

From as far back as I can remember, my father had a passion for photography, using an old Soviet Zenit camera. Our home was filled with albums, loose photos, and truly beautiful portraits that we have cherished to this day. Following in my father's footsteps, I eventually purchased a roll of film and captured stunning portraits in one of Krakow's parks. This ignited my passion for photography, and I later completed a photography school and photographed several weddings in Poland. However, I temporarily left my photography career for real estate work.

Over the years, I visited my family in Costa Rica, and in 2016, I made the life-changing decision to turn my life around completely. I quit my job, packed my camera, and embarked on a journey to conquer Costa Rica. It was during this time that the idea for Papaya Wedding was born. My work allowed me to explore the entire country (and others), develop my talents, and find immense satisfaction in what I do. A few years ago, I met Jennifer, and we became friends. In 2023, we were planning vacation on Iceland, and we spontaneously decided: "Hey, let's elope there!" so we have officially become husband and wife.

While I'm behind the camera, I always see more, which led me to try my hand at filmmaking. I have been working on cinematography for some time now.

Costa Rica is my home.

As they say, home is where the heart is.
