About

Overview & Vibe

Piotrek Ziolkowski is a Perth photographer who has built his practice around micro weddings, small weddings and elopements. He shoots thirty to thirty-five weddings a year and has photographed more than three hundred, in Australia and in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Poland, Italy and Canada.

Style & Approach

He describes it as a candid, documentary style, and says he never relies on traditional posing — he goes with the flow and uses everyday body language, so the photographs happen between the moments rather than during them. He came to weddings sideways, after a degree in cultural anthropology and stints as a chef and a dive guide, and says he likes weddings because they combine the demands of fashion, portraiture, documentary, event and product photography at once.

Ideal For

Couples skipping the large production for something smaller: a ceremony with ten guests or fewer, or an intimate celebration with a core group. Larger weddings above a hundred guests are taken as a custom collection with a second photographer. Couples who want no images shared publicly can have a non-sharing clause written into the contract.

The Need-to-Knows

Elopement coverage starts at $1,400 for an hour and a half and $1,900 for two and a half hours. Wedding collections run $2,700 for four hours, $3,400 for six and $4,000 for eight, with extra time at $450 an hour. He delivers around seventy-five edited images per hour of shooting, a sneak peek inside a week, and the full gallery six to eight weeks later, hosted online for eighteen months.

Standout Feature

Film is a real, priced part of the service rather than a mention: a roll of 35mm on a Nikon F100 is $200 for twenty-five to thirty-six frames, and a roll of medium format on a Mamiya 645 is $400 for ten to sixteen, both scanned at high resolution and added to any wedding.
