Kraków · why here
A wedding in Kraków, photographed as it happens
Kraków is a favourite with couples who come to Poland to get married, and it is easy to see why: a medieval square, a royal castle on the river and quiet courtyards all sit within a short walk of each other. That makes the photo part of the day simple. No long drives, no lost hour.
I photograph the day as it happens, from the getting ready to the dance floor, and I help with the plan: when the square is empty, where the light is soft at five in the afternoon, how long the walk from the church really takes in wedding shoes.
