Capturing Love In Every Frame: This is Agnieszka’s story

Agnieszka , pronounced Ag-neshh-ka - a name that dances off the tongue with a hint of mystery and a touch of elegance. But behind the name lies a story rich with passion, determination, and a love for both the art of photography and the celebration of love.

Born into a vibrant Polish family, Agnieszka’s upbringing was infused with the flavors of her heritage and the warmth of familial bonds. From a young age, she found comfort and joy behind the lens of a camera, capturing moments big and small with an innate sense of artistry. But Agz, as she's affectionately known to friends and clients alike, is more than just a photographer. She's a social butterfly, a lover of life, and a self-professed chatterbox who revels in the joy of meeting new people and forging connections.

In February 2022, Agnieszka embarked on her greatest adventure yet: motherhood. Welcoming her daughter into the world filled her heart with a newfound light and purpose, igniting a desire to capture not just the love between couples but also the joy of growing families.

As the founder of Echo Photography, Agnieszka has poured her heart and soul into building a business that reflects her passion for storytelling and her unwavering belief in the power of love. Inspired by the timeless romance of films like "The Notebook," she strives to immortalize the love stories of strangers, preserving precious memories for generations to come.

When she's not behind the camera, Agnieszka can be found indulging in her favourite foods—sushi, pizza, homemade burgers—and seeking solace in the healing power of chocolate. She's a dedicated home decorator and devoted pet parent to three furry companions, showering them with love and affection every day.

AGNIESZKA’S APPROACH

In Agnieszka’s world, every moment is an opportunity to capture love, laughter, and the beauty of life's most precious moments. She thrives for all sorts of weddings, destination weddings, intimate or elopement weddings and weddings close to home. Through her lens, she invites us to see the world through eyes filled with wonder and to celebrate the enduring power of love in all its forms.

“As a wedding photographer, my approach is not just about capturing images; it's about preserving the essence of a couple's love story. I believe in focusing on every little detail of the day, ensuring that my couples can forget I'm even there. However, for those who may feel a bit camera shy, there's no need to worry. I am there to guide them every step of the way.

My style is rooted in capturing raw emotions, allowing natural interactions to unfold authentically. I strive to maintain a balance between guiding when necessary and allowing moments to naturally shine through, with a touch of editorial flair.

But my role extends beyond just being a photographer on the wedding day. I see myself as a bridesmaid, wedding coordinator, and planner all rolled into one. Spending ample time with my couples throughout their wedding journey, I've gained insights into what works and what doesn't. I gladly offer my assistance to ensure that everything runs as smoothly as possible on the big day.

From capturing the intimate moments to offering a helping hand behind the scenes, I am dedicated to providing a personalized and stress-free experience for my couples.

WHY CHOOSE ME AS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER?

“This sentiment resonates deeply with me. I get really emotionally invested in your day, I get to spend the wedding journey getting to know you, and experience you as a couple. Then being invited to be apart of your wedding day makes the day so much more special knowing you have trusted me to capture the best day of your lives, and gifting you with memories you will both treasure for the rest of your lives and pass those memories down for generations to come.

As the last champagne flute is emptied, the attire carefully hung back in the closet, and the once vibrant flowers now dried and withered, what remains are the cherished memories immortalized in photographs and film. That's why choosing the right photographer and videographer is paramount.

Your wedding day is a culmination of dreams, emotions, and love shared with those closest to you. It's a day you've painstakingly planned, pouring your heart and soul into every detail. Entrusting someone to capture these moments means finding a professional who not only aligns with your vision but also understands the essence of your relationship.”

The bond between you and your photographer/videographer goes beyond mere professionalism. It's about a connection, a shared understanding, and a mutual respect for each other's vision.

When there's synergy between you and your creative team, magic happens!

“WITH THAT ALL SAID, LET ME CAPTURE YOUR LOVE STORY”

Love, Agnieszka
