Pawel, WOW! We are absolutely BLOWN AWAY! Thank you so much for your amazing work on our wedding photos. The time and effort that you put into them is very clear to see and we are really appreciative. We did not really know what to expect on the day, but you made us feel so at ease and you blended into the crowd so nobody knew you were even photographing them. This is obvious from the photos you have captured and we love the candid shots the most!The difficult task of choosing the photos we would like to develop now lies ahead of us - what a tough job it is when we love them all so much!!!We have been sharing your work with our families today and they are equally as blown away as we are.Thank you so much Pawel - it was lovely to have you there on the day and we will definitely be recommending you to any of our newly engaged friends and family!

There is simply not enough words to describe how talented Pawel is as a photographer. He is a true artist at what he does, and he does it with such ease. Myself and my husband felt so relaxed behind his camera on our wedding day, infact we forgot Pawel was there for most of the day. When we received our gallery we were blown away by the amount of beautiful photos we had. If you want your wedding day documented in style with a relaxed approach you will engage Pawel Bebenca.

Pawel was a dream come true! We were so lucky he was available for our wedding day. He came highly recommended from our hotel and we were not disappointed. He was very familiar with the grounds and knew all the best spots for the most romantic photos. We still have not been able to decide on a favorite because they are all our favorites! Pawel was very professional and extremely helpful. He knew how to guide us to create the perfect photo. We had never been photographed by a professional before but we felt so comfortable and at ease with Pawel. We communicated very easily through email since it was destination wedding and we met the day of the wedding. It all went very smoothly and we highly recommend Pawel for your photography needs.

We chose Pawel to photograph our wedding on the recommendation of three of our friends and we are so glad we did!Pawel was so lovely on the day, so professional and he really made us feel so comfortable. His way of capturing memories of the day is absolutely amazing especially as he does it so discretely and so captures people in such a relaxed way. We adore our photos, and the minute we saw them we were in awe as to how he managed to bring back all the memories of the day, which brought back all the emotions too!Do not hesitate to book Pawel, he is beyond amazing!

We hired Pawel for our wedding three weeks and just received the photos about a week ago. We could not be more pleased with Pawel’s work on the day and the photos that he sent through. The photos are stunning and it was such a pleasure to have Pawel be the photographer on the day. He was so friendly and professional and managed to capture all of the key moments from the day without being at all intrusive. I would highly recommend him. More...

Myself and Paul chose Pawel based on a friend's recommendation and we were really thrilled with our decision. Pawel created a fantastic document style of the day that captured the emotions and vibe of our wedding day. Posed photos are limited and I feel we achieved a more true reflection for us on what the day was about. I was worried about being taken away for hours away from the day to take photos but that was not the case at all and we were able to enjoy every minute of the day whilst still getting some great shots.

Wow, just wow!!! Absolutely amazing work, very talented, have received so many compliments on my wedding photographs done by Pawel already! They are extremely well picked out, candid shots, and he was barely noticed on the day! Quick to take the needed posed shots, and no awkwardness whatsoever for the couple shots. Pawel was very easy and professional to work with before our wedding organising all the bits an pieces also. Would highly recommend! More...

We did a lot of research before choosing our wedding photographer, and in the midst of wedding planning we found Pawel. As soon as we saw his work we loved it, and knew he was the man for us! Pawel is a gentleman and a joy to be around. We are camera shy and the idea of posing for photographs made us cringe! Pawel’s professional manner ensured that there was no ‘cringe’, everything was very natural and we both felt so relaxed. Our photographs are incredible, he has captured our wedding day from beginning to end so beautifully. We have all the special moments photographed for us to treasure forever. Pawel’s attention to detail is amazing. Each and every photograph he took reflected his skills and the wonderful day we had surrounded by our loved ones. More...

We could not be happier with Pawel and his work. From the moment we reached out to Pawel to check his availability, it was clear we had made the right choice. When we came to visit our venue from London he met up with us to discuss our thoughts for the day. On the day itself he arrived hours early to shoot the venue and our preparations. He made us feel so comfortable all day (we usually hate having our photo taken!) and many of our guests commented on just how much ground he was covering! Our photos are simply incredible, better than we could have imagined. Pawel is the ultimate professional. More...

Pawel is an absolute genius when it comes to wedding photography. We eloped and were nervous about working with vendors in Ireland but Pawel was very easy to work with and an absolute delight to be present documenting on our wedding day. His portfolio speaks for itself, and he was very fast sharing our finished wedding photos with us! I'm so grateful he was our wedding photographer - couldn't have asked for better photos! More...

From the moment I laid eyes on Pawel's photography I was simply mesmerized by his talent. I was recommended to check him out by our hotel, when booking our reception as our wonderful hosts were just as mesmerized, and shared that amazement with me! One Word, INCREDIBLE! I was very lucky to book Pawel on such short notice, so don't leave it as long as I did- he books up fast!!! On our big day , Pawel's calmness kept me calm, and not at any time did I sense any nerves relating to the shots so trust and leave it in Pawels capable hands - he knows exactly what's right for your day and what style will suit you both. I couldn't imagine Pawel not being part of my Wedding Day as he blended in so well & I have fond memories to last a lifetime - he brought fantastic character to Gougane Barra! I am so excited to recieve pictures of a lifetime! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! You are THEE best! Áine & Lee Cummins More...

We have been overwhelmed by the response from our friends and family to our wedding photos. Pawel is a true artist, dare we say a genius? His pleasant and professional manner, unobtrusive "documentary" approach, and his devotion to detail and style created the most elegant and beautiful wedding gallery any couple could ever hope for. To say he knows what he's doing is the understatement of the century. We are so happy we had him as our photographer and cannot recommend him more highly. More...

Our photographer was amazing. Pawel went above and beyond for us the day of our wedding. He not only was our photographer but helped orchestrate day of, from small things like pinning Colins boutonniere to how first look should be executed to create a wonderful moment for us. The shots from our ceremony were more than what we could’ve asked for. The moments Pawel captured without us even realizing it. Pawel then drove us to amazing locations for photos. At Slea Head, we had a wonderful time getting breathtaking photographs. We had so much fun and enjoyed every moment of it. Pawel worked extremely hard getting a wonderful variety of shots for us. Again, he went above and beyond. The direction given was very much appreciated and tastefully executed. He was professional, personable and the communication was great. We couldn’t have asked for more. We were sent a really lovely slideshow in sequence of the day that we were able to send to friends and family. We were so impressed with our overall experience. We are very grateful for everything he did for us that day. Pawel did not just take gorgeous photographs, he captured mements we’ll never forget and will enjoy looking back on. More...

First off, coming from the United States to get married in Ireland was already somewhat stressful. Not to mention every picture, video, etc. was going to be shared with all of our family and friends back home, so we wanted this day to be "relived" through what was captured. Thankfully Pawel took all that stress away. I found his instagram months before our wedding, and am so glad that I was able to be connected to him and that he agreed to travel hours away from home just for us. He not only takes amazing photos, but he has such a light and fun sense of humor. We really enjoyed his company, and could not have picked a more perfect photographer to have shared such a memorable day with for Carson and I. Now as for the pictures... those truly speak for themselves. Pawel is very attentive to the small details and made sure everything captured was completely natural. We were never posed or told what to do, and that was something I loved! The best pictures are the ones where the people in them are being themselves, carefree, as if no cameras were around. As i'm looking at the album and the slideshow of all of our photos (over and over again because they are just THAT GOOD), I can say Pawel captured us, in our element-- our new chapter. They are breathtakingly beautiful! He truly has outdone himself, and we will forever be grateful to him for these. I highly recommend Pawel to photograph your special day! He is amazing, you'll not only fall in love with his work, but you'll really enjoy him as a person too! More...

Thank you so much for your presence during the day; helping us keep to key timings when needed, being discreet when the day was flowing nicely and even helping to tidy our room :-D We were incredibly lucky to have an outdoors wedding at Cliff at Lyons and Pawel was able to capture the best light, best backdrops, the emotions and discreet details perfectly.. all through the day and into the evening. There are so many quality images to choose from, it is extremely difficult to choose which ones to frame! More...

If you want gorgeous photos that document your special day and make you feel like you're reliving your wedding over and over, you must book Pawel! He is an amazing photographer that really captures your day, rather than just typical stationary poses (though a few of those are thrown in there as well). His eye and attention to detail is outstanding and is reflected in his photography. From the moment we contacted him to shoot our destination wedding, to the day of, Pawel was extremely friendly and easy to work with. Even with our 8-hour time difference, communication with him was never an issue. In the words of my father, Pawel felt like someone we had known for ages. He was able to seamlessly blend into the crowd as to not disturb guests and somehow still able to produce great shots. We received all of our photos very quickly, quicker than any wedding photographer I had known in the US, and they were all high quality. More...

I booked Pawel over a year before our wedding because I fell in love with the style of his photos. This was a great decision! We could not be happier with how beautiful our wedding photos turned out. He has a wonderful eye for what works and I feel like he was able to tailor the photos to our personalities and to the feel that we wanted for our wedding. Our photos really are a work of art, just breathtaking! Neither my husband nor I are the most comfortable people in front of the camera, and Pawel made us very comfortable.

My husband and I got married in 2013. Since then, we've taken trips to Europe each year to commemorate our wedding anniversary. As a way to remember our trip and celebrate another year together we seek out a photographer in the area that we are visiting. This year's trip brought us to Ireland and so began our friendship with Pawel. I contacted him months before and he was so responsive and very cooperative. He gave us some wonderful ideas (in terms of where to do the photos) and even offered to drive us to the destination (being that we were unfamiliar with our surroundings). Pawel made us feel comfortable around the camera and the results are just breathtaking. Having a photo shoot with Pawel was amazing as he has the capacity to capture emotion and small moments that may otherwise go unnoticed. The results are beautiful, touching, and vibrating. At the end of the day, that is what matters, what the artist can express in their work. Pawel's ability to do this is so greatly appreciated and we are thrilled to have gotten to know him for those few short hours in Howth. Thanks again, I cannot stop smiling and falling in love every time I see the pictures. More...
