Hi, I’m Bernadeta.

An intimate wedding photographer in Scotland with a passion for natural wedding photography

I’ve been a documentary wedding photographer in Scotland and worldwide since 2020 and was named one of Rangefinder’s 30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography in 2021. 

Playing with light, composition, and your special connection, I strive to capture your day in a whimsical yet elegant way. I’ve shot epic weddings in castles, chateaux, and villas across Europe and the rest of the world — all incredible locations with beautiful architecture, brought to life with fine art photography.

I’m a romantic soul and an eternal optimist, looking for the beauty in everything around me. I love exploring castles and imagining the stories hidden in their walls. I like to listen to songs with my eyes closed and take them apart in my head. 

If you’re a less traditional couple looking for incredibly luxurious, artistic wedding photos, or to be there with you for your adventure elopement, let’s work together to capture your unique love in all its intimate, natural beauty.

What inspired me to become a destination wedding photographer in Scotland?

As a non-traditional, laid-back wedding photographer, I’ve always adored venturing out into the unknown. Adventure makes my heart glow. Dramatic landscapes, long walks through the woods and over mountains, turning my collar up to the rain and the wind, exploring the world in all its weird and wonderful variety. And it’s made even sweeter when I’m hand-in-hand with the love of my life, Pawel. 

And so it was that I found my dream career in wedding photography — spending my days in awe of the amazing wedding destinations around the world and meeting love-drunk couples whose company I adore. 

So let’s adventure together into the exquisite unknown. Let’s capture your unique love for each other in all its glowing beauty.

What will it be like to have me as your laid-back Scotland wedding photographer?

Your wedding or elopement is an opportunity to tell your unique story. A story you can share with your loved ones and pass down to your children. Your photographs will transport you back to how you felt at the very moment they were taken. 

Your wedding will not be a photoshoot and there will be no posed portraits. Instead, I love to find those authentic, emotional angles that perfectly capture your love for each other. And that’s why I won’t try to engineer moments or ask you to pose. You can just be yourselves, immersed in the intimacy of the moment. We’ll let your love lead the way.

I see beauty everywhere I look, and I think you’re beautiful just as you are. That’s why my signature editing style is romantic and natural (and sometimes just a little moody)! It’s designed to highlight your natural beauty, capture every perfectly imperfect detail, utilise the natural light and compliment the beautiful settings we found ourselves in. 

I like to incorporate black-and-white photography into my portfolio because they show the emotions of the scene in a different light without disturbing by the colour.

Thea & Cameron

Bernadeta is truly an artist! My husband and I were so pleased with the editorial/documentary approach to her work and truly every person who has seen our wedding photos is ASTONISHED with how gorgeous they turned out. She was so communicative throughout the pre-wedding process and has an extraordinarily detailed questionnaire so that she had all the info and shot list before the big day. I truly didn’t worry about a thing when she arrived onsite, she immediately got to work and was kind but authoritative when coordinating folks for pictures. I really felt like we were in great hands, I can’t imagine a better wedding photographer experience!
