Frequently asked questions

Send a free availability request with your date, place and type of session, and we check which suitable photographers are free. We reply personally with a proposal naming the photographer, the package and the price. The booking is confirmed only when you accept that proposal.

Yes, the request is free and commits you to nothing. It only asks us to check availability and prepare a proposal. You decide afterwards whether to accept it.

Give the date or a range of dates, the city or area, the type of session and how many people will be in the photos. Add anything that changes the plan: a surprise proposal, a preferred time of day, the language you want to speak with the photographer, or a place you have in mind. The more specific the request, the more precise the proposal.

As soon as your date and venue are fixed, because Saturdays from May to September go first. A photographer can cover only one wedding a day, so an early request simply leaves more choice. Couple and family sessions need less notice, though weekend sunset slots in summer also fill up.

You can always ask, and short-notice sessions are sometimes possible. Whether a photographer is free depends on the date, the place and the time of day, so we cannot promise it in advance. Send a request with your exact date and we will tell you what is available.

It is the lowest price at which that type of session is offered on the platform, for example a classic one-hour session from PLN 750. Each photographer sets their own package and price at or above it. You see the exact figure in your proposal before you commit, and all starting prices are on the pricing page.

The photographer, the place, the date, the time of day and the duration, plus any add-ons. Video, drone footage, an extra hour, a weekend date, a sunrise slot, travel outside the city, an album and a second photographer all raise the price. Everything that is included is listed in the proposal.

Within the city it usually is, while travel outside the city is one of the add-ons that raise the price. That applies, for example, to a wedding venue in the countryside or a portrait session in another town. The travel cost is always written into the proposal.

Any session in Zakopane starts from PLN 1,050, because mountain locations take longer to reach and to walk. Weddings, wedding portrait sessions and newborn shoots have their own higher floors, for example a wedding portrait session from PLN 1,500. The proposal states the exact figure.

Payment terms, including any deposit (in Polish, *zadatek*) and its amount, are stated in your proposal. A deposit is common for weddings, because the photographer keeps the whole day free for you. Sending a request costs nothing.

The photographers are independent professionals and issue their own invoice or bill. The proposal states who invoices and how. If you need a company invoice, for example for a personal branding session, mention it in your request.

A full day is usually about 10 hours, from getting ready and the parents’ blessing, through the ceremony and the receiving line, to the first dance and the *oczepiny* games late in the evening, from PLN 8,000. The hours, the end point and the approximate number of photos are in the proposal. More on wedding photography and on hiring a wedding photographer in Kraków.

A *plener ślubny* is a wedding portrait session of the couple in their wedding outfits on a separate day, without guests or a timetable, from PLN 1,500. Many Polish couples do it a few days or weeks after the wedding, some before it. Old towns, the Baltic coast and the Tatras are popular, for example wedding portraits in Zakopane.

Usually yes, but the rules are set by the parish or the registry office, not by the platform. In many churches the priest decides where the photographer may stand and whether flash is allowed, and some parishes ask for the photographer to be notified in advance. Ask the parish office or registry office when you set the date.

A second photographer helps when the couple get ready in two different places, or when you want the altar and the guests covered at the same moment. It is an add-on that raises the price, so decide when you send the request. Planning tips are in our wedding photography in Poland guide.

Yes, tell us in the request how long the ceremony lasts and whether there is a meal or a short couple session afterwards. A small wedding usually needs a shorter package than a full day, and the photographer sets the price in the proposal. A short walk with the couple right after the ceremony works well while guests wait to congratulate you.

When the children are rested and fed, which usually means after a nap rather than before. In summer, late afternoon gives soft light once the heat has passed. You agree the hour with the photographer; more on family photoshoots and our family photography in Poland guide.

Many photographers prefer the first two weeks, when babies sleep most deeply and are easiest to settle. A newborn session takes place in your home, lasts about 2.5 hours including feeding breaks and starts from PLN 1,100. Send the request during pregnancy with your due date.

Most often between weeks 28 and 34, when the bump shows clearly and moving is still comfortable. A maternity photoshoot starts from PLN 800 and can be outdoors or at home. With twins or on medical advice, plan it earlier.

Yes, but the parish sets the rules for photography during Mass, and for First Communion it often appoints one photographer for the whole group. Check with the parish office before you book. First Communion and christening photography from PLN 1,200 usually covers the ceremony and a short portrait session.

Yes, a birthday photoshoot can take place at home, in a play centre or outdoors, from PLN 750. For a first birthday, plan it after a nap and keep the cake for the end, since little else happens after it. Say in the request how many children and adults will be there.

Plain, muted colours that go together, without big logos or small busy patterns. Comfortable shoes help on old-town cobbles and grass, and on the beach in Sopot or Gdynia wear something easy to slip off. The photographer is happy to advise if you send a few outfit options beforehand.

An express session lasts about 30 minutes, a classic one about an hour, and a multi-location session about 2.5 hours. A wedding day is usually about 10 hours and a newborn session about 2.5 hours with breaks. The exact time is in the proposal.

No, most people are not, and you do not need to be. The photographer tells you where to stand and what to do, and the best frames usually come while you walk, talk or play with the children. The first few minutes are mostly about relaxing.

Message or call the photographer as soon as you know. The session usually still ends at the agreed time, since the photographer may have another booking and sunset light will not wait either. Whether the time can be extended, and at what cost, depends on the photographer.

Yes, mention it in the request so the photographer can plan the place and the pace. It helps to bring a second person to hold the dog between shots and a lead that is easy to remove from the frame later. Some parks and museum grounds restrict animals, so check before the day.

In light rain the session often goes ahead, with an umbrella and in covered spots such as gateways, arcades and passages. In a downpour or storm the photographer suggests another date or an indoor place. The rules for rescheduling because of weather are in the proposal.

You decide together with the photographer, usually based on the forecast the evening before or that morning. The photographer knows the place and can judge whether cloud will spoil the photos or give soft, even light. The proposal sets the terms for moving the date.

Yes, especially with snow, in the Tatras or in old towns lit for Christmas. In December the sun sets around 15:30, so sessions happen in the early afternoon and an hour outdoors is usually enough. Warm layers under your outfit and gloves between shots make a real difference.

May, June, September and October give the most soft light and the least heat. July and August suit the Baltic coast, but sessions there are best early in the morning or in the evening, when beaches and promenades are quieter. The Polish golden autumn in city parks is a favourite of its own.

Start with what suits you: an old town, a park, the sea, the mountains or your own home. Our city pages, such as Kraków and Gdańsk, describe specific spots with the best time and how to get there. For a proposal, see where to propose in Poland.

It depends on the place: some park, castle and museum administrations charge for professional sessions or require permission, others do not. This applies, for example, to castle grounds and museum parks such as Wawel and Łazienki. Check the current rules with the site’s administration; any fee is usually not part of the photographer’s price.

The park’s trails are open to visitors, but for a session with larger equipment or for commercial use, check the current rules with the Tatra National Park. Drone flights in national parks are generally not allowed without permission. Photographers who work in Zakopane also know places outside the park, such as the Gubałówka area.

In late June the sun sets around 21:00, a little later on the coast, and in December around 15:30. Sunrise in June comes around 4:30, earlier still in Gdańsk and Lublin, so a summer sunrise session means a very early start. The photographer times the start so that the best light falls in the middle of the session.

It depends on the package: around 40 for a classic one-hour session and around 400 for full-day wedding coverage. The exact or approximate number is in the proposal. If you want more, ask about a longer session.

The delivery time is stated in your proposal. It depends on the photographer and the type of session, since editing a full wedding takes longer than an express shoot. If you need the photos by a certain date, for example for invitations, say so in the request.

Yes, you receive selected, edited photos in high resolution, ready for print and online use. RAW files are usually not handed over, since editing is part of the photographer’s work. If you need them, ask in your request and the proposal will state exactly what you receive.

Yes, an album is one of the add-ons, popular with weddings and wedding portrait sessions. Format, number of pages and price depend on the photographer and are listed in the proposal. You can also print from the files yourself.

Yes, the photos are meant for your personal use, which includes social media. For commercial use, such as personal branding photos in advertising, the proposal sets out the licence. Photographers often ask to be credited when you post.

Every photographer is reviewed before joining, on their portfolio, experience with the type of session, languages, knowledge of the places they work in and reliability. They are independent professionals, not employees of the platform. Their profiles, with sample work, are on the photographers page.

Yes, if you like a particular profile, name it in your request. We check whether that person is free on your date, and if not, we suggest someone with a similar style. The proposal always names who will photograph you.

Some photographers speak English or Ukrainian, and each one’s languages are shown on their profile. Say in your request which language you need and we will check who speaks it and is free on your date. This matters most at weddings with guests from abroad.

Yes, just say so in your request. A short call before a wedding or a longer session helps agree the plan for the day, the places and the style. Once you accept the proposal, you are in direct contact with the photographer to settle the details.

Let us know and we will try to find another suitable photographer for the same date, though we cannot promise someone will be free. If no replacement is possible, the cancellation terms in your proposal apply. Couple and family sessions are usually easier to move to another date.

We use the data in your request only to handle that request, in line with the GDPR (in Polish, RODO). We share it only with the photographer we match to your session. We do not sell it or pass it to anyone else for marketing.

Only on the terms set out in the proposal, and if you do not want your photos in the photographer’s portfolio or social media, say so in your request. This matters especially for a proposal before you announce the engagement and for sessions with children. The photographer takes your decision into account when agreeing the terms.

You receive the photos directly from the photographer, and you decide whether they are published. For newborn and family sessions you can say from the start that the photos must not be shown publicly. The data in your request goes only to the photographer who does the session.

Yes, under the GDPR you can ask to see, correct or delete your personal data. The simplest way is to write to us through the request form. The data used to handle your request goes no further than the matched photographer.
