Wedding in the Palace Osowa Sien
We often come across advice like: find your niche in wedding photography, focus on a specific style, and direct your offer exclusively to couples planning their day in a similar aesthetic. It seems we’re not very skilled in the art of marketing, because we somehow can’t limit our work solely to photographing boho, classic, or rustic weddings. On the contrary, we see the opportunity to create stories that often differ significantly in style as a great advantage. Every wedding is unique, just like the love stories of our couples, so it’s impossible to get burned out or bored.
Thanks to the abundance of surprises in our work, our excitement stays high. Even if we were pushed to the limit, we probably wouldn’t be able to point out just one single style that feels closest to us. We love photographing both weddings in historic castles and palaces, where we can capture intricately prepared wedding hall decorations and stunning gowns with trains, as well as weddings with a greenery wedding vibe and slow weddings — featuring outdoor ceremonies, drinks in hand, and bare feet on the grass. Our hearts are big, and our minds hungry for new adventures, so we truly enjoy photographing both grand weddings with long guest lists and many attractions, as well as intimate celebrations with just close family or the newlyweds alone.

A stress-free wedding
This time, we had the chance to spend the day with a couple who live by one important rule — keep calm. It’s probably the first time the wedding guests set the pace and rhythm of the day, not the wedding schedule, and that so many dogs took part in the celebration! No pressure, all laid-back, no rush — that’s how you could briefly describe Lou and Merten’s approach to wedding planning. And we really respect that. That kind of atmosphere lets us work in a slightly different style, giving us more freedom to experiment since we’re not restricted by a strict timetable. If you’re also not keen on following the usual wedding paths, maybe the wedding reportage from Osowa Sień will be an inspiring idea for you.
How to find a place for a wedding and a wedding party
Do you know how Louisa and Merten came up with the idea to have their wedding at the Osowa Sień Palace? They were browsing the Airbnb website. If you want to save time and rely on opinions from people who already know the local wedding scene well, you can check out our list of the most beautiful wedding venues in Wielkopolska. Osowa Sień Palace is a great choice for those looking for an unusual venue for an intimate wedding and reception — it accommodates up to 40 guests. It stole our hearts as soon as we discovered this beautiful wedding venue in Wielkopolska. It’s perfect for small weddings near Poznań. Wedding photographers have plenty of space to get creative here; the interiors make a beautiful backdrop for stylish bride and groom portraits, and the park offers lots of opportunities if you plan a mini photo session on the wedding day.
Outdoor wedding in Wielkopolska
We often emphasize this, but it’s worth repeating once more: we absolutely love outdoor weddings! We’re not quite sure why — perhaps it’s the closeness to nature or the slightly less formal vibe of these ceremonies — but weddings under the open sky tend to generate much less stress (while still being full of emotions), and wedding guests smile at us far more often compared to church weddings. We suspect it might be related to the feeling that a sacred place calls for full solemnity. While we have plenty of wonderful memories from photographing weddings in Catholic churches, especially those with a long history and stunning interiors, we hold a special fondness for outdoor weddings — both civil and humanist ceremonies.
What is a humanistic wedding?
What is a humanist wedding? In short, it is a secular equivalent of a church wedding ceremony. Many LGBT couples choose this type of wedding because, unfortunately, for them it is the only way to symbolically celebrate their marriage in Poland. Not everyone understands or accepts the idea of a humanist wedding, but we assure you that if you ever have the chance to attend such a ceremony, you will quickly understand why humanist weddings are becoming increasingly popular. Many times we have encountered couples who first had a civil wedding, and then organized an outdoor ceremony with a humanist wedding, to share this important moment in life with their loved ones in beautiful natural surroundings. A great option is to combine the humanist wedding with the civil wedding, because then you get two in one (you plan everything only once), and the ceremony gains legal power.
Who can give a humanist wedding?
Riding the wave of growing popularity of humanist weddings, companies offering services for such ceremonies have appeared on the Polish market—you can easily find them online. However, this is an additional cost, sometimes not a small one (around 2,500 PLN). But if you are considering such a wedding and your budget doesn’t allow extra funds to pay for a ceremony master, don’t worry, because almost anyone can take on this role. We have photographed weddings led, for example, by a close friend of the couple. And that’s a great solution, because it gives the wedding ceremony an even more intimate character. Of course, it’s worth entrusting this important task to someone you trust and who isn’t afraid of public speaking.
How to plan a humanist wedding?
Basically, it looks similar to a civil wedding or a church wedding. The most important thing is to find the right venue – look for wedding venues that allow outdoor ceremonies or have a beautiful indoor space where the ceremony can take place (for example, in case of bad weather). Planning a humanist wedding is quite simple because you don’t have to register it with the registry office or hope that the official will be available at your chosen time and place to conduct the ceremony. If you’re thinking about an intimate wedding, you can combine the humanist ceremony with a formal dinner for family and friends, but nothing stops you from celebrating the fact that you are now husband and wife with a party lasting until dawn, for example under the open sky.
