Every wedding has a story.

Friday inspiration! This wedding was a true celebration of beauty. The floral and decor artistry by @michellepourroy was simply breathtaking - just look at those tablecloths and the stunning setup!

And the location… If you ask me for my top five wedding venues, Four Seasons Tamarindo undoubtedly holds one of the highest spots. Nestled in Costa Careyes, Jalisco, it remains an exclusive, lesser-known gem compared to the more commercialized Bahía de Banderas. If you’re seeking top-tier architecture, pristine beaches, and peaceful surroundings, this is the place to be.

I couldn’t resist sharing this sneak peek from a truly special wedding celebration.

No glimpses of the rehearsal or ceremony yet - I’m saving those for a dedicated post. But for now, it’s all about pure love - just Alara & Logan, two incredible souls, during their intimate photoshoot.

Stay tuned for more… and don’t miss the video clip 👹

Hi! It’s been a while since I posted something more personal, so here we go!

I’m Rafał Zwolinski, a wedding photographer specializing in timeless imagery with an editorial touch. I work mostly in Mexico - Los Cabos, Punta Mita, Costa Careyes, and Europe - France - Italy - Spain, capturing destination weddings that are as elegant as they are emotional. For future couples—I believe every celebration is one of a kind and deserves a fully personalized approach. No formulas, no one-size-fits-all packages—just a thoughtful, refined way of capturing your special moment in the way that you want and dream about.

Nicole & Jan – an extraordinary couple I truly hope to keep as friends for life!

Our journey together began in Litibu with their engagement session, and now, here we are—the wedding day. You both deserve all the love in the world. 🤍

This wedding was also incredibly special to me for another reason—it marked Yumaira’s debut as an independent florist under @aleli_arte_floral. From the bride’s bouquet to the stunning ceremony and reception florals, every detail was her creation. I couldn’t be prouder. 🤍
Love!

Viva los novios! Emilio & Daniela’s destination wedding at @fstamarindo.
I specialize in editorial wedding photography, but this time, a couple had a unique request: a 100% documentary-style reportage of their wedding day. No posed portraits, no curated editorial touches—just an authentic and meaningful chronicle of their celebration. It was a refreshing experience to capture the beauty of their day exactly as it unfolded, and I truly enjoyed every moment of it.

Mazel tov to the happy couple.

Let’s rewind to May 2022 when I met Denys & Miguel. When I moved to Vallarta in 2020 and started my photography journey, the Covid arrived. With no events, I focused on working with local artists and in my studio. As the world opened up again,weddings and events followed and that was the moment when met Denys and Miguel for their engagement shoot. Even with a simple portfolio and fewer skills than today, they trusted me completely, booking me for their wedding before even setting a date or location.
This wedding holds a special place in my heart—it reminds me of my beginnings, the importance of humility, and the dedication it takes to capture meaningful, real moments.
Thank you Denys & Miguel and all our lovely couples that trust and invite us to be a witness of those unique moments. Enjoy the sneak peek of your wedding and our very first in 2025!
Love, R.
