Ciao!
Thank you for contacting me. I feel honoured that you have reached out to me to capture your elopement. My work is focused on people celebrating their LOVE.
I want to serve people with my talent and skills to preserve their (YOUR) most precious memories and emotions forever.
If you are here now, you are probably searching for a trusted, friendly photographer who can translate your unique story into timeless images. I would love to be that person for you!
I hope to hear back from you soon.
let me tell you a little bit about myself
My name is Magda. I am an award-winning photographer
and owner of Fotomagoria.
My life is driven by:
1. my family, 2. photography and 3. traveling.
Being an adventurous wedding photographer makes me feel fulfilled. I couldn't imagine doing anything else. It was not easy to reach my true passion, as a single mother. For the first seven years of their lives, I raised my two children by myself. Without being exposed to the extreme challenge of being a single mom of two, I wouldn't know what I want from life and how much the quality of life depends on myself and my choices. I wouldn't be so aware of the time passing and the need to face all challenges and fears here and now. With all this knowledge and experience, the passion for photography - which began in my youth - had to evolve into something concrete, a real business that would allow me not only to support my family, but also develop as a person and artist.
My kids are older now, 16. and 13. years old.
In the meantime, I moved to the most beautiful country on earth
(Italy!) and met the love of my life who is my biggest cheerleader.
Having photographed over 250 weddings,
I feel so experienced that it is very difficult to stress me out.
Finally, I can focus on the best part of this job. I pursue my passion for human beings and their stories as a destination wedding & elopement photographer. New places make me feel creative, but it's the greatest adventure I have found in getting to know people and their relations.

YOUR WEDDING DAY
I am specialised in Intimate Weddings and Elopements.
Elopement means to me an adventurous wedding experience focused around the couple.
It is an intimate wedding day designed for couples wanting to get married exactly how they want, in line with their hearts, in touch with their inner self. Elopement it is being present in the moment, focusing on your love, connection and experiencing mindful love as it happens.
Whether you pass your day ALONE AS A COUPLE or with 10 closest friends and family.
Whether you take a 10-km hike or fly by helicopter to the highest lake; in a mountain chalet or on a desert.
Whether you take two years to plan and save for it,
or do it all in six weeks.
Eloping is not just a way to escape the trappings of traditional weddings, but a way to create an epic & shared experience that is truly special.
I am sure that your unique love story is worth being told in a series of great photographs.
With the mix of my documentary & editorial approach,
I will capture each single detail and key moments of your elopement in the most touching way possible.
Before hiring me, we can meet to discuss all of your expectations.
I will do my best to follow your needs and make you feel comfortable working with me.
Usually, I will spend the entire day with you - starting around when you’re getting ready and ending some time into sunset. Some locations require guidance from an expert who regularly shoots in the area, some are remote and require an overnight stay. The long time frame allows you to become familiar with me and therefore renders photographs more natural.
I find it very important to build friendly relationship with the people I work with.

HERE IS WHERE YOUR ADVENTURE BEGINS
You might think that you only need a photographer for the ceremony and a few shots after, but an elopement photographer is not about providing evidence of your wedding day, but telling your story. That story begins with getting dressed and ready, both of you, and making your way to the ceremony. Then after the ceremony, time is usually spent to get some exciting mountain activities. The story is where the heart of your memories will be.
Your wedding day shouldn’t feel like a stressful, rushed, all-day photoshoot—it should be your best adventure yet, with you both just being yourselves and having the best day of your lives. So you can count on laid-back, intimate & candid photos of it all.
If you are still reading- let’s get into the nitty gritty. I know weddings are expensive and investing in a photographer is not easy. I don’t know your budget, but below i’m listing my packages as they stand today. Let them be a starting point if nothing else, we can always talk and tailor them to your needs.

SECOND SHOOTER
Having a second photographer is a great way to ensure extra coverage of your wedding. Having someone shoot with me allows me to be in two places at once, which means that i can double the coverage of the wedding. It is a particularly good idea to have a second shooter if you have a large guest list or you and your partner are getting ready at two different locations. Lastly, having a second shooter will ensure photos are taken from the ceremony and reception styling undisturbed by guests.

FINE ART ALBUM
Together we can make an album to relive exactly how you felt on your wedding day.
FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE
My albums are made of the highest quality materials and bound into a gorgeous fine-art book. I spent a lot of time placing each photo perfectly to retain the flow of your personal story. I will colour correct all the photos and work closely with the printing lab to ensure the best possible results.
We will work together to create a design you are absolutely in love with before it is sent off to print. This involves selecting your favourite images and, later, going over my design, noting any changes you would like. Your album will not go to print until you are 100% satisfied with the layout.
Being able to hold the finished product in your hands is a really rewarding experience.
Perfect as a gift
Our albums come standard as 12 x 12 inch - 30 x 30 cm square. The album covers come in different styles and lots of beautiful colours! The paper stock itself is unbelievable and the seamless binding means that none of the photos is lost down the middle of the book. This allows photos to be printed across full page spreads. Aside from all of that, they just look so DAMN good! Touching the pages will be - stress-free because they are also stain resistant!
Together, we can make an album to relive exactly how you felt on your wedding day.
