About

Overview & Vibe

Tomek Celarek was born in Brazil, raised by Polish parents and studied architecture before finding that telling stories through a lens was his perfect in-between. He has photographed weddings for over ten years and works from Adelaide across Australia and overseas. His work has been featured in Hello May, Polka Dot Bride, Looks Like Film, Capture One and SA Life.

Style & Approach

He names his own style plainly: documentary. He photographs the whole day rather than selected parts of it, and describes his approach as intuitive and heart felt. In his own words, do not let what has sometimes been described as a harsh aesthetic fool you — he is deeply romantic and terribly nostalgic, careful in his approach, and wants couples to feel at ease above all else.

Ideal For

Couples who want one photographer for the entire day with no clock watching, and who would rather have a single considered collection than a menu of tiers. His published work runs from city elopements through streets and laneways to full celebrations, much of it in black and white. Couples marrying with very short coverage, including elopements and micro weddings, are quoted individually.

The Need-to-Knows

There is one wedding collection, and it starts at $6,500 for full-day coverage of up to twelve hours. That includes unlimited correspondence and timeline help beforehand, 800 or more fully edited images, an online gallery to share, downloads in both web and original high resolution, and an online print store. Film photography, heirloom albums and additional hours can be added. Engagement and couple sessions start at $1,200.

Standout Feature

The single-package decision is deliberate and he explains why: with one collection there are no additional hourly rates and no question of whether the photographer leaves before the first dance. It follows from photographing the entire day, from getting ready through to the end of the night.

Albums & Prints

Heirloom Albums. Price: added to the wedding investment on request. Description: Heirloom albums are offered as an addition to the full-day wedding collection rather than as a separate product, and no figure is published for them.
Online Print Store. Price: prints are purchased directly from the gallery. Description: Every gallery includes an online print store so prints can be ordered without going through the studio.

Appointment Policy

Price Notes

There is one wedding collection rather than a range of tiers, so no additional hourly rates apply within the twelve hours. Elopements, micro weddings and weddings needing significantly less coverage are quoted individually. Film photography, heirloom albums and additional hours are added to the collection on request.
