Polina Rytova

Hi — I’m Polina, a wedding photographer based in Kraków. Photography has been my passion since childhood, and today I focus on creating wedding reportage that tells authentic stories. I favour a natural, non-overposed style that captures real emotions, subtle moments and an aesthetic that endures. With 8+ years of professional experience and over 130 wedding reports, combined with film-school training (AMA Film Academy and a directing course), my work is shaped by a narrative sensibility. I pay attention to the rhythm of the day and coordinate smoothly with other vendors so photos and film work together to create a cohesive memory. This lets me capture both the headline moments and the small, unexpected gestures that become treasured keepsakes. My process begins with a conversation to understand your vision. On the wedding day I create a calm atmosphere — gently guiding you while staying a discreet observer of the most important moments. Even camera-shy couples relax and look natural after a few shots. I specialise in wedding reportage and outdoor/plener sessions around Kraków. I also offer engagement (Love Story) sessions as a complementary option — great for loosening up before the big day and for beautiful images for invitations or online galleries. Why choose me? I combine professionalism, cinematic sensibility and a warm, empathetic approach. I provide practical support in planning the photographic side of your day and work with clear agreements so you feel secure. If you want a Kraków photographer who will tell your story with emotional, natural and elegant images, let’s get in touch.
