From Sydney to London to Poland
She lived in Australia, he lived in the UK. They met in Sydney, and then Stephen brought Dominika to London. For the wedding they chose Poland – getting ready at Hotel Stary in Kraków, and the ceremony and reception at Villa Love near Kraków.
One line from the ceremony sums up their story: “Steve caused Dominika to move from sunny Australia to London. If that’s not love, I don’t know what is.”
Across the Universe – the vows
In her vows Dominika went back to when she was 14: she listened to “Across the Universe” and imagined it playing on her wedding day. She walked down the aisle to that very song.
Stephen said he felt lucky to be standing in front of her – that she is his best friend and the person he feels most at peace with.
Minimal decor at Villa Love
The couple went for minimalism: single flowers on the tables and a floral altar. The Villa Love hall with white drapery and long tables suits that simplicity, and in the evening the cake among sparkler fountains closed the day with a bang.
At Villa Love I also filmed Síle and Lucas’s Irish-Polish wedding and Julia and Dawid’s Polish-German wedding.
FAQ
Why Villa Love for a destination wedding?
Villa Love near Kraków combines minimalist decor, an outdoor ceremony and views over the hills. Dominika and Stephen flew in from Australia via London for their destination wedding, and their vows referenced “Across the Universe”. The ceremony ended with a kiss in a cloud of colour smoke.
What was the humanist ceremony like?
Dominika and Stephen had a humanist ceremony in May and said vows they wrote themselves. The whole destination wedding was planned by Karolina Kowalska of Długo i Szczęśliwie. Villa Love gave them an outdoor ceremony with views over the hills.
How much does a wedding film cost?
Wedding films in Poland start from 10,000 PLN, and destination weddings abroad from €2,500 including travel and accommodation. See all packages on the Offer page.
When will we receive our film?
Usually 3–4 months after the wedding. In that time I edit a short highlight film and a longer film of the whole day, built around your story.
Do you work with international couples?
Yes – most of my couples are international or mixed, and I work fully in English, from the first call to the final film. I have been filming weddings since 2012 and have worked with more than 250 couples, including couples from London, New York, Los Angeles and Seattle. More about me.
