Michal photographed our wedding in August this year and was absolutely outstanding! We could not recommend him highly enough. Every email we have sent has been promptly answered, every request accommodated, and every moment of our day was perfectly captured. There's some truly special family and friends photos that we will treasure forever, and the couples shoot that he did for us in the dusky evening light are magical.
Planning the wedding was hard, especially during the covid pandemic, but one thing that was always easy was our interactions with Michal. Fantastic service, beautiful photos, and a wonderful guy. Brisa and Adam x

We chose Michal to be our wedding photographer and we couldn't recommend him enough! We first met him at a friends wedding and we were so impressed with how friendly & professional he was, not to mention how amazing his photography skills are and we absolutely loved our friends photos. Therefore it was an easy decision to consider Michal for our wedding and I'm so glad he could make our date - 3 times due to all the postponements! Michal is so talented in photography and we love his documentary style.
He was able to capture so many amazing memories and moments and we will treasure our photos forever. We have been given all our photos on a personalised USB in a box as well as an online platform which is a nice little touch. For any of our friends in the future who are getting married, I will continue to recommend Michal as we can't fault him. Beautiful photos and a brilliant experience from start to finish. Thank you once again!

Michal is the very best. He is friendly, professional and a pleasure to work with. He listens to what you want but will also give his advice and share his experience with you. He took exactly the wedding photos we wanted, whilst not feeling like we were ever away from our guests on the day. He blended right in, it was almost like another friend at the wedding. All of our guests commented on how great he was and how he had captured some great natural photos. Thank you!

Michal was an amazing find! We were so thrilled with our pictures and can't thank him enough. Michal was completely discreet, and so many of our family and friends commented on how efficient and non invasive he was! Our wedding day was wonderful but it did pour with rain so we couldn't do many shots outside on the actual day, so he very kindly came back 2 days later when it was super sunny and we got dressed up again and he took some spectacular photos for us! Thank you so much Michal!

We contacted a few photographers before selecting Michal to document our wedding. Upon meeting him we knew we had made the right decision. Not only does he work extremely hard but he is calm, patient and professional despite the chaos around him on a wedding day. We couldn't be more pleased with the end results and we would not hesitate to recommend Michal or Ufniak Photography to anyone else in future. Adam & Laura

We could not recommend Michal enough. We've just received our wedding photos and are simply blown away. Michal was amazing on the run up to and on the day- he really listened to what we wanted and delivered to. us the most incredible photos. Both myself and my husband are quite camera shy- Michal eradicated all of our anxieties surrounding this and captured true emotion. He really thought about the pictures and the surroundings. So incredibly happy- thank you Michal for everlasting memories via beautiful pictures.

We searched for a professional wedding photographer on the web and luckily for us Michal was found. He met us prior to our wedding to discuss our arrangements and to show us some of his work. Obviously we were extremely impressed. On the wedding day he managed to capture all the day as it unfolded without being obtrusive. Extremely talented, intelligent and such a nice person. Sent us a link, to be able to view some of the photographs, while we waited for the album to be produced.
On delivery date of the album [for us a USB stick, but albums can also be ordered] it was brilliantly produced in a bespoke wallet and even the USB was engraved, such a fantastic touch. Definitely top of his class in regards to photography and would recommend any one in choosing him.

"highly recommend" is just not enough for Michal Ufniak's photography. A "must have" is more of an accurate description. From start to finish, Michal performed an outstanding job, his images captured our perfect day just as we saw it. We could not of hoped for anything better. Our pictures were amazing, as was our finished album. If you are wanting perfect photographs taken by a first class photographer then choose Michal Ufniak.
