Vendors I Love: JAKUB REDZINIAK PHOTOGRAPHY
I’ve been working with Jakub on Central Park weddings since 2017. It's always such a pleasure to work with him as he comes with great ideas and a positive attitude! On a recent wedding we did together, the energy was quite frenetic and tense. However, Jakub was grounded. He guided the couple and captured such tender moments with ease. I tend to work with Jakub solely on elopements, but I look forward to do a larger wedding with him sooner than later. Without further ado, I'd love for you to meet, JAKUB REDZINIAK!
What was the path that led you to become a photographer?
Although I am mostly self-taught, I need to give my father credit. He put my first camera in my hands and showed me the basics. He was also a wedding photographer. When I was 8 years old I shadowed him at a wedding he was photographing for a family friend. Not many photographers out there are able to say they photographed their first wedding at such an early age! Photography remained a huge part of my life. Initially it was a hobby, and over time it’s developed into a fulfilling career.
What excites you about weddings?
I love that every wedding is completely different. However, my approach is always the same - to provide my clients with the best possible experience. That’s whether I am photographing a short elopement in Central Park or documenting a full day wedding at any one of the many NYC wedding venues. What makes an amazing photograph is not only taking it at a beautiful location, but rather the emotions that the image captures at that particular moment. Sometimes this happens naturally. Sometimes I pull some tricks from my sleeve that help my couples relax, and reveal their true feelings towards each other.
What do you look for in a couple?
The ideal couple for me is one that values beautiful photographs as much as I do. I also appreciate when they’re excited to have this special time in their lives documented. It’s a great way for them to reflect on current celebrations, as they flip through their wedding album with their children.
What is the greatest compliment you’ve ever received?
Whenever my clients tell me they were brought to tears by the moments I captured. I cannot help but take that as a huge compliment. I find it very special to capture such emotional moments that often last only a few seconds. The biggest compliment any client can ever give me is a referral to a friend or family member.
What do you desire for your business?
I hope I can build on and improve the services I deliver. Hopefully I continue providing amazing wedding photography for many more years to all of my clients. I strive to better my skills and come up with fresh unique ideas, while delivering the same consistent quality of images and customer service that my couples have come to expect. Wedding photography is a very customized experience. Tailoring the services I provide to your unique story is what makes me different from cookie cutter approaches that many other studios have.
What are you grateful for?
I am grateful to have a career that brings joy and smiles to every one of the hundreds of clients I have photographed over the years. Doing what I am most passionate about every day of my life, is not something I will ever take for granted. I am lucky to be able to provide a service that is appreciated by so many amazing couples and their families.
Any recent cause for celebration?
I was recently selected as runner-up for ‘Top Wedding Photographer in NYC’ by the New York Wedding Awards! In such a large and saturated market for Wedding Photography in NYC, to be recognized as such is a big honor. I am forever grateful.
