poland-part 6 features many of our favorite images from our favorite-ever polish wedding day: jan + magda’s reception would soon be here at Lazienki Park in an orangery . . . actually the “new” orangery [Nowa Oranzeria] at Royal Baths [Lazienki Krolewskie] with new, meaning it was built in 1860 versus the park’s OLD orangery…

any bride will tell you that getting to this point, the arrival at the church point . . . or THIS point, the nearly dressed and looking out window point . . . . . . can at times seem a Herculean task (wait: does one ever say “Athenian task“?) the PREPARATION + ANTICIPATION in…

The lil’ lady, with the cute smile is our daughter Clare, who was thrilled to just be at the wedding, let alone walk down the aisle as a flower girl in front of “Princess Magdalena” as she calls her. Amy, Kim & Annika, your photos are stunning, not surprising considering the subjects, Magda, Jan and the magnificent city of Warsaw. We are in awe of your talent!!July 28, 2009 – 12:40 am

Ashley - I have so enjoyed seeing all of these gorgeous photos. I am sad that they have come to an end too. You ladies really blew me away with these. Seriously amazing!July 29, 2009 – 8:06 am
Magda - Amy & Kim & Annika, so sad it was the last installment! We really enjoyed your blog over the last week. Although we have been apart, we discussed the photos during our daily (morning for Jan, evening for me) Skype calls and we felt like our wedding day was still going on
Thank you for extending our memories in such a beautiful day.
As said before, being photographed by you is such a unique experience (yes, better than any spa treatment!). We felt like celebrities especially with all these confused children on a trip in Wilanow, French, Italian and German groups of tourists in the Old Town, Joe persuading passers-by to stay away from us, your amazing energy and your “laughing and chatting” of course!
Over the last seven days I have been replacing my morning coffee with checking out your blog and it worked perfectly! Seeing your pictures was like a shot of caffeine, but so much healthier!
We hope that one day we will get honored to be photographed by you again!
Love,
Magda & JanJuly 30, 2009 – 3:53 am
Deacon Joe Bambenek - You did an incredible job Amy, Kim and Annika of capturing an amazing, fairy-tale weekend. Looking at the photos this past week has brought many, many smiles to my face… and I am so pleased that Jan and Magda will be able to have such treasured memories for a lifetime!
Will you be selling a DVD of the music + photo highlight show?July 30, 2009 – 11:17 am
Jennie - I have loved each installment–such joie de vivre, such brilliant colors and images. I have really enjoyed seeing each and every one. Thanks for sharing them with us!July 31, 2009 – 8:09 am
