I am in the film industry so I had very high standards when selecting a wedding photographer. I researched and connected with 25 individual photographers, while my husband was looking into larger wedding photography companies. But then, we stumbled on Rafal and wow! He was unlike anything we’d ever seen. Every photo looked straight out of a magazine, timeless and elegant, and each shoot was better than the last. The moment my husband and I spoke to him on the phone we knew right away, without any hesitation that we were putting our full trust in Rafal, and we are so thrilled with our choice! In fact, he even exceeded our expectations!
After searching for photographers online for hours I was first blown away by the photos on his website. Rafal's attention to detail makes every single photo a work of art. We booked him for our wedding right away and shortly after that met him for the first time to do our engagement photos. Rafal gave us enough direction to get the perfect shot, but also worked in the moment and let the process unfold naturally. We couldn't have been more thrilled with the outcome.
To this day I still get compliments on our engagement photos. He communicated with us regularly throughout the year before our wedding, and was nothing but professional on the big day. I had a few ideas of shots I wanted, and Rafal executed them perfectly while putting his own spin on them to make them unique to me and my husband. He has a knack for making his subjects look their best, and every photo captured the emotion from the day perfectly.
I really can't say enough to convey how pleased we were with our entire experience with RM Digital Photography. When the big day is over the only thing that remains are the photos, so in some ways it's the most important wedding decision you will make. I can honestly say this was the best vendor decision we made throughout the entire process. We couldn't be happier. Thanks Rafal!

When choosing Rafal as our photographer we immediately knew to expect greatness. His portfolio blew us away and our expectancy was nothing less than stellar. However, Rafal managed to exceed our already high expectations.
When we met Rafal for our engagement shoot we were nervous. After seeing his work we couldn't imagine how we could possibly deliver the same visuals. But his talent, professionalism, and vision brought ease and comfort to us during the entire shoot and the end result speaks for itself. The feedback we received has been incredible and the photos are commonly referred to as "something out of a magazine."
His passion really shines through every picture he takes and his turnaround time is impeccable. You can tell Rafal doesn't treat photography as just a business, but as an art he truly loves and respects.
We feel so lucky and privileged to share the most important moment of our lives with Rafal. We wouldn't want anyone else to capture these memories we've waited a lifetime to create.

Wedding planning is emotional. You plan for months on end and naturally you want everything to be perfect. It's quite normal for some decisions to cause you to lose sleep at night however I can whole heartedly say that the easiest and best decision we made was booking Rafal to be our photographer.
I'm a self-proclaimed perfectionist but Rafal puts my ocd to shame. He's beyond passionate about his work and I think our pictures speak for themselves. I truly felt like Rafal cared just as much about our day as we did which took away any and all worries about photos; because if there's one thing you want to make sure is perfect, it's your wedding photos that you'll look back on forever - or every day in my case.
Rafal took it upon himself to contact our venue, set up an appointment and scope out the location along with surrounding areas so that he can pre-plan shots and not waste any time on our big day. He made sure every hair was in place, bowties were straight, you smiled just enough, your new rings were shining, and that your face wasn't (he carried my makeup in his pocket to make sure I was flawless in every photo). He kept everything professional yet easy and fun - the entire bridal party was laughing all day and some of my friends even said they wish they could re-do their weddings so that they could use Rafal for their photos.
Needless to say, my husband and I are forever grateful to Rafal for capturing the most important day of our lives in the most perfect way.

When my husband and I first met with Rafal we noticed his passion when talking about his work, we knew within 5 minutes that our search for a photographer was over. Rafal is by far one of the most professional people we have ever worked with. He truly knows what he is doing, and gives excellent direction. Not knowing anything about the industry or how to act when being professionally photographed, Rafal made it easy and put my husband and I at ease. It was fun and seemed effortless, we wish he could photograph us all the time!
If you want the Best, you need to hire the Best. Hiring Rafal is having the confidence in knowing that as a bride and groom your wedding will be captured in all its elegance, beauty and perfection in poses true to yourself and as striking as something you would see in a magazine. Rafal’s visionary mind is never at rest, he is always thinking of your next pose, your next backdrop and your next best photo to snap.
Rafal has passion. He gives you direction so that he can deliver the best pictures, ones which make you look awesome in poses unmatched by anything you could pin on pinterest. His ideas are original and he works off your natural chemistry as a couple. As a bride, you spend countless weekends finding the perfect dress and thus countless hours getting dolled up on your wedding day so that you can look your absolute greatest.
For me, I trusted Rafal would capture the confidence in those portraits in which he exceeded my expectations. Capturing the emotions of newlyweds is not an easy feat and Rafal captured every smile, every tear and every laugh shared on our wedding day, which was the most rewarding gift we could have received. I look back on these pictures and vividly relive our wedding day over and over each jaw dropping shot at a time.
Thank you!!!

From the moment I came across Rafal’s work last year, I knew that I wanted him to be my wedding photographer. His style of photos was exactly what I was looking for. I didn’t even bother to make an appointment with any one else. My fiancé and I met with Rafal and we automatically clicked. It was a no-brainer that we had found our photographer.
Rafal really did a fantastic job with our engagement shots and wedding. He was so easy to work with and his passion shows when he is working. Any wedding photographer can snap some photos but Rafal really wants you to have the best photographs possible. He planned ahead and knew the best spots at my venue and made sure that we worked with our best angles and light. But he also likes to try new things with you (and they end up working and looking amazing). I knew that my wedding photos were going to be something I wasn’t going to worry about. I remember always telling Rafal, “You, I know, are going to be one of the sure things at my wedding.” And I was right.
We are so pleased with how our wedding photographs came out. Each photo was just as stunning as the last. Everyone was so impressed with them. Rafal is extremely talented and we are so lucky to have had him as our wedding photographer. These photos will not only last a lifetime but they will be loved for a lifetime, too.
Thank you so much, Rafal! You are seriously the best.

Choosing Rafal was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. You spend months, and in our case years planning and preparing for one day, and you need to be able to trust someone to photograph the day. Well, Rafal does more than take pictures for an album. He creates art and beauty. He captures memories and emotions. Words can't describe the depth of his talent.
The decision to choose Rafal was simple. We were in awe of his work, and the passion for his work was clear when talking to him. Shaz and I rarely take pictures of ourselves, and as a result, feel very uncomfortable and awkward in front of the camera. We were hoping that our photos would be a fraction of his other work, but the end result far exceeded our expectations.
Working with Rafal is a true experience. He has the most amazing energy. He is able to take control of the entire room, whether it's just the bride, groom, or the entire wedding party. His directions are clear, and if you don't understand why you're doing something, he'll explain it to you even before you ask. Also, he has an incredible eye for finding beauty wherever you are.
In addition to all of that, for our wedding, he had to work with rain and 50 degree weather. He was determined to capture photos all around and outside the venue despite the rain. He used a special weather app that allowed him to see when there would be a brief break in the rain so that we could take pictures outside. He kept saying "trust me, these pictures will be worth it." And they absolutely were.
We literally had the most perfect day, and Rafal not only captured the moments, but he enhanced them. We are so grateful that Rafal was our photographer, and we wish that every couple could be as blessed as we were to have him. Choose Rafal as your photographer, and we promise you that it will be the best decision that you make!

Rafal is simply the best of the best. He captures vivid and natural photos but somehow makes it magazine quality. He is a true artist as he has a pure passion for photography, especially wedding photography, making you feel like the most special person in the world. Our wedding photos are timeless and natural, which was exactly what we were looking for. While many people wait for months for their wedding photos, Rafal’s turnaround time was amazing! We enjoyed working with Rafal as he is very professionally and insanely talented. Our best decision during wedding planning was hiring Rafal. Worth every penny.
One of the best decisions we made during our wedding process was choosing Rafal as our photographer. There was no hesitation at the thought of booking him because simply, he is the best. Rafal's creativity goes far beyond the lens, transforming glimpses of time into picture perfect moments. Throughout the whole process, from the engagement photoshoot to our special day, his energy was unmatched. He took the time to get to know us as a couple and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire experience. Rafal is punctual, professional and extremely genuine. He does not shy away from taking risks to capture the perfect picture. His enthusiasm translates throughout the day and is contagious to the entire bridal party. Thank you Rafal for not only capturing the most beautiful and elegant photos of our lives, but for making us feel like family. We cannot recommend Rafal and his team enough, you will most definitely love your decision.
