I have just returned from a week in Poland where I had the absolute pleasure of documenting Maja and Toby’s wedding.  Toby is my brother and so the week was not only about capturing their wedding but meeting new Polish friends and family.

They got married just outside Gdansk which is a breathtakingly beautiful city, so not only did I come home with all their wedding photos but hundreds (Actually 1000′s but whose counting) photos of this amazing city.

Polish weddings have many traditions that we don’t have at UK Weddings, and I’ll tell you all about them in the full wedding blog post. In the meantime whilst I sort out all the photos here is a sneaky peek at the happy couple and the city of Gdansk. You’ll see the weather was exceptionally kind to us, I have rarely seen blue skies in the UK this summer, so this was a real treat!

Around the stunning central square of Old town Gdansk. All the buildings are very ornate, and although Gdansk suffered heavily in the Second world war. They have rebuilt it from old photos and records to be just the same as it was.

Even the street names are ornate. If you look closely you can see names carved in the original bricks.

Just a couple of images from the stunning and exceptionally large, St Mary’s Church. It’s believed to be the oldest brick church in the world and can hold an astonishing 25,000 people, now that would be some wedding if you filled it!

You have to see this organ to really appreciate it’s size and the detail, truly breathtaking.

And finally, we made a trip out to the coast, to a Polish Spa town called Sopot where they have Europe’s longest pier. Despite the sunshine the Baltic sea was as freezing as you might expect which is why there is only my dad with his feet in the sea!
