Bożena and her team were absolutely amazing! They captured our day not only seamlessly but created beautiful memories we get to look back on. She is professional and the best in the business - not to mention she knows her way around the camera. We could not be happier to have had Bożena and her team be a part of our wedding day.

My husband and I can't say enough positive things about Bozena! She is truly one-of-a-kind. Not only is she extremely sweet, genuine, and warm, but her photography skills are incredible! Every photo turns out just beautiful. She makes you feel so comfortable and at-ease during the photo process, and gives you clear directions to ensure each photo comes out spectacular. She was such a fun joy to work with, and we received so many compliments on her and her work.
She was so thorough and communicative throughout the planning process, and was very attentive to detail. We hope this stellar review lets other couples know that they are in great hands with Bozena and it will be one of the best decisions you could make for your wedding day :)

I believe that life is full of beautiful moments... meeting the love of your life... marrying that love... having your first baby... watching your family grow. Photography is not only what inspires me, but it makes me believe in myself and the power of faith, love, & family. The lens has taught me that every moment is a treasured space of time that I can capture and treasure in its beauty. It has also taught me that with a positive attitude, all things are possible! I'm attracted to positive people. I believe my biggest strength is my persistent positivity.

ove with her attention to detail, her work ethic and overall style. After our first meeting, I knew she cared about our wedding day. She took the time to make us feel comfortable and heard. As a bride, it is so important to invest in vendors who are so energetic about your day. Their excitement and joy are key in the success of your day. Bozena ensures your photos are beautiful. She assists with posing, closely observes lighting and backgrounds, and most importantly listens to your requests. Bozena on my wedding day was present and attentive making sure every photo was near perfect. I am so in love with our photos. It is the most important part of your day. When the day is over it’s all you have that truly remains as memory. If you’re looking for a photographer, I am happy to share that you have found her. Photos are an investment and I am so happy I chose Bozena!!!

ces, Bozena got the photos back extremely quickly (less than a week for our wedding) and the quality was amazing. She is a delight to work with and is extremely organized. She worked out a timeline with us over a year before the event which was very helpful as we booked other vendors. More than once other vendors complimented her organization. She is also the perfect level of assertive to get photos done efficiently so everyone can enjoy the big day. 1000% recommend booking her - look no further!

nsure all of our questions were answered before deciding on a photographer. We could tell right away how much she values her relationships with her clients, and her patience and honesty about what shots are realistic vs not, reassured us. My husband and I are not the most photogenic and don’t really enjoy being in front of the camera, but during our engagement session, Bozena made us feel so comfortable. I told her we needed direction, and she posed us perfectly, even stopping to fix my hair or my dress. The photos were better than we could have imagined and we knew we were in good hands for our wedding. Come wedding day, she showed up early and was so organized. We did our wedding photos at Milton Olive Park (about an 8 minute walk from our venue, The Wade), and the photos we took with our bridal party look so natural and fun. When looking for a photographer, I googled “light and airy,” and boy did she deliver. We asked for a sneak peek, but she surprised us and got all of our photos two weeks after our wedding! Working with Bozena was a dream, and she made the wedding process so much easier. We only have good things to say about her and highly recommend!! Thank you again Bozena!

rent poses and helping us overcome any nervousness. Even though we had our engagement photos taken twice, once in New York and once in Chicago, we especially loved the second session with Bozena—it truly felt like she captured us as a couple. The photos showed our genuine connection, almost like she was documenting our story in such a natural and beautiful way.
On our wedding day, everything was busy and overwhelming, but Bozena was such a huge support. She helped us stay organized and calm while making sure to capture every important moment. Not only did she take incredible photos of us, but also of our guests and families, which means so much to us. We can now share those beautiful memories with everyone.
Bozena is truly wonderful, both as a photographer and as a person. We are so grateful and absolutely love her work—we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer!

Together, Bozena and Eddie made the perfect team, ensuring everything ran smoothly and that we felt comfortable in front of the camera. If you're looking for a photographer and videographer who are not only talented but also kind, professional, and dedicated, look no further. Highly recommend!

We got our photos back in less than a week and they are beautiful.

She is not only a skilled photographer with a beautiful aesthetic that I was looking for, but she is also very passionate about her work and prioritizes her relationship with her clients to make sure she captures their story. The engagement shoot with her was also great since she had a lot of creative ideas for photos. She is very involved/helpful with the entire wedding planning process too when it comes to coming up with the timeline and vendor recommendations. On the day of the wedding, it was great to have her as the photographer as she has a very calm, kind and professional demeanor that gave all of us a peace of mind. I would highly, highly recommend her to anyone who needs a photographer, whether it is for a wedding or family photoshoot etc.

Bozena was very accessible via phone call for any questions, was always very punctual and dependable, and we received many compliments from our guests about how nice Bozena was (and how NICE the photos turned out). She also has many of her own documents that she shared with us which were amazing to have (engagement photoshoot details, family portrait, details checklist, etc). My fiancé and I don't have much experience with taking nice photos, and Bozena supported us through it ALL (even with the smallest of details like hand placement, eye contact, etc). She also was very quick to turn around the photos, we received our entire engagement and wedding album within a week! The blog she wrote about our wedding day was also so thoughtful. No negative things to say, we were SO happy with our wedding day experience and the photos, thank you Bozena!

Bozena's talent behind the lens is undeniable, but it's her attention to detail and efficiency that truly sets her apart. We wholeheartedly recommend Bozena to any couple looking for a wedding photographer. Trust us, you won't be disappointed!

he puts in to research locations, lighting, etc in advance of shooting her sessions. She is so bubbly and kind and made us feel at ease in front of the camera. On the wedding day she showed up early and immediately got to work without missing a beat. We also had a separate videographer and she was able to work seamlessly with him despite not having previously worked with him. She took on the role of organizing friends and family to make sure we got all the photos we wanted and captured the most important items. Leading up to the big day, we had multiple calls with her to outline what the day would look like, which helped us with other planning items as well. Her photos speak for themselves, but we were really blown away with our final portfolio. Lastly, she was able to deliver our entire wedding album within a week of our wedding. It was such a great surprise and my husband and I really enjoyed getting to look through them while on our honeymoon. We would absolutely recommend Bozena!

Bozena is the best. She was our photographer for our proposal, engagement session, and wedding. She has such a way of making you feel special and comfortable while taking pictures ...
as well as through the whole planning process. She also makes it a ton of fun. From surprising the bride at the proposal to a neighborhood engagement session highlighting our home and local buildings to a classic Chicago wedding, we knew we made the right choice from the very beginning. She captured us in her pictures so well, bringing out our best smiles. She truly captured “us”. They way she uses light makes the photos so bright, which is a main thing we looked for in a photographer. In terms of planning, Bozena is so organized. This was very helpful since we planned the whole wedding ourselves. With Bozena, no need to even have a day of coordinator! Before the wedding, she even met us at the hotel to scope out areas for getting ready pictures and the first look. After all of these sessions together, Bozena truly feels like a friend. Now that our wedding is over, we even look forward to having her photograph many more milestones to come. Thank you so much for everything Bozena! Highly recommend to anyone looking for an incredible, professional, and fun photographer for their big event.

Bozena is the absolute BEST! We had the pleasure of working with her longer than anticipated, and during one of the most stressful events of our lives. We realized early on how imp...
ortant photography is, as this is one of the only memories you get from your wedding day. We searched “light and airy photography” and came across Bozena’s website. After meeting her, we instantly knew we’d be in good hands. Unfortunately, our April 2020 wedding had to be postponed due to the pandemic. Bozena was hands down the most accommodating and kind vendor we worked with to reschedule our wedding plans. We decided on a microwedding NYE 2020, and vow renewal NYE 2021, both of which Bozena helped to capture. Though my husband and I have been together almost 14 years, we are probably the least photogenic couple you will ever meet. Thankfully, Bozena is assertive (in the best way possible) in terms of telling you how to pose for the most beautiful pictures. We are so grateful for Bozena to capture our engagement session and two of the most important days of our lives. Throughout the whole process, we always felt that she made us her priority. It’s one thing to have beautiful pictures, but to also have an amazing human to work with, puts her over the top. I can’t say enough good things about Bozena, you will never regret hiring her!

g day she was on time and started working immediately. She gave lots of guidance on how to arrange family members, how to position ourselves, etc. in order to get great shots. Her attention to detail is outstanding, and her passion for her art is on full display as she works. Our photos were available sooner than expected and we LOVE them. We have so many favorites that it's hard to decide which ones to frame. We would recommend Bozena for any occasion and especially for a wedding.

Bozena was amazing. I am so happy that we found her. She is possibly the sweetest person in the world. We met for coffee to talk about our wedding and we really loved her right fro...
m the start. She is very responsive to emails, phone calls and text. She made us feel so at ease during the photo shoots. Her work is SO LOVELY, she has a wonderful eye for natural light and those perfect moments. There was not one photo that she took that i did not love. Having been a wedding photographer I know how tough it is to make people look natural and Bozena does it with natural ease. She even made my wonderfully awkward engineer husband look like a natural model! I can not say enough wonderful things about her, she is a gem and such a great photographer.

. We did some looking around, keeping our options open, but over and over, we went back to Bozena. The decision wasn't difficult and we made the appointment to make it official. For our big day, Bozena was there to capture every important moment. From the smallest details, to the funny times, even the personal and intimate moments. They made it all so easy for us! Martin and I are not the types to be the center of attention and for some people, photos can feel a little awkward, but they made us so comfortable and they made it fun!! Our photos came in few weeks after the wedding and we are more than pleased and amazed by her work! Our wedding day seemed to be over in a flash, but these photos will last us a lifetime and we will always treasure them. Thank you SO very much!!!!!!!
