ABOUT ME
photo by Natalia Miedziak-Skonieczna
Hi, my name is Natalia Orce, but everyone calls me Nat.
Make yourselves at home — it’s important that you feel comfortable with me.
I create photographic and cinematic love stories, documenting relaxed weddings and elopements for over 20 years. I’m based in Warsaw and I work across Poland, Europe, and worldwide. I also do portrait and food photography, write, and teach photography.
Would you like to get to know me better? Here I share my personal story.
It is an honor for me to witness your love with through a camera lens. Sometimes I will make you laugh, sometimes I will shed a tear with you, sometimes I will fasten a dress or a boutonniere (true story!) or help you catch your breath, while discreetly photographing and filming everything that sparks awe and emotion in me. I love the challenge of documentary storytelling, capturing fleeting moments, and I am constantly moved by the love between two people — the way they look at each other, the subtle touch, and how they are surrounded by the warmth of their family and friends.
Beyond documentary work, I invite couples seeking unposed, natural photographs to also experience a portrait session with me. In wedding attire or everyday clothes, before or after the wedding, let’s meet to create a timeless keepsake of your relationship.

I photograph only 10 weddings per year,
so I can give each story my full
presence, creativity
and attention.
YOUR EXPERIENCE
Trust
You can always count on me. I want you to feel that someone close and warm is accompanying you with a camera during your wedding.
Candidness
Ease, freedom, good fun, and shared experiences matter more than stiff posing.
That “something”
You will receive visually beautiful and emotionally deep photographs, carefully selected and with my signature color grading.
Authenticity
I always take a personal and individual approach. I use a minimum of automated solutions and cultivate the craft of photography, including analog one.
For the ones
who feel deeply

WHAT DOES EVERY EXPERIENCE INCLUDE?
“Nat captures your wedding exactly as you feel it.”

“Nat is just wonderful to have around you in a special moment in your life and she captures it exactly as you feel it. We had Nat with us during our dream wedding in Tuscany and she was in a calm way following us the whole day without disturbing us or making anything up. She is just so professional, knows her business and is a lovely person you would also invite if she was not your photographer. The results are beautiful and make us experience the joy and happiness we felt that day every time we look at the photographs.“

“She made us feel completely comfortable and captured something truly special in every shot.”
— Ruth & Billy
Portovenere & Cinque Terre, Tuscany, Italy
read the full testimonial
“What an incredible find! My husband and I eloped to Italy so having nice wedding photos to share with our friends and family was really important. Nat’s incredible photography skills and ability to capture the moment definitely transported everyone to our wedding day and allows us to revisit the day over and over. Not only is Nat an amazing photographer but she had such a wonderful positive energy that really added to the day. Nat took the time to get to know us and had an interest in who she was shooting and because of that I think she captured something special in all the shots. I am so grateful to have had Nat as our wedding photographer and would (and have) highly recommended her to anyone planning their wedding or any other photography. If it’s a memory you want to revisit over and over Nat is just the person to capture it.“

“We had to stop everything when you sent the email.
Tears just came to our eyes — we couldn’t have imagined it better.
It was extremely difficult to capture photos, GIFs, and a film… Not everyone could have done it, and if they did, something would have suffered. Here, nothing did. So much material, all carefully crafted, atmospheric, magical, full of detail. Our guests were absolutely blown away!”
FAQ
I take many more photos during the reportage and session, and after selection and color editing I deliver all successful images to you with no extra charge. This means I often exceed the guaranteed minimum by as much as 30%–100%.
According to the contract, it is a maximum of 45 days from the wedding or session date, however I do my best to deliver within 3 weeks.
My base is in Warsaw, but I also spend part of the year in South America. I photograph weddings all over the world, and the places closest to my heart are Portugal, Italy, Spain, Scotland, and Iceland. I also document weddings in the USA — I have worked in New York, the San Francisco area, and Napa Valley. I travel a lot myself and am happy to meet couples for sessions during my trips. Follow my Instagram or write to me to find out about upcoming destination session dates.
Most packages include travel. Separate photo sessions don’t include travel and possible accommodation costs, which are calculated individually. Costs are lower if we arrange the session during one of my trips in a given location. Please contact me for more information.
3 x YES! I love spending this time with you before the wedding and capturing what is hidden in this emotional, intimate moment. Whether you are getting ready on your own, as a couple, or with friends and family — the preparations always result in beautiful, sometimes funny and sometimes elegant photographs, which become the opening chapter of your wedding day story.
I usually photograph for an average of 3–5 hours during the reception. I typically suggest serving the cake and organizing any traditional games or customs earlier than midnight, and using the saved budget for your portrait session on another day or a keepsake album.
Of course, I am fully at your disposal on your wedding day, and I believe that family portraits are a must-have — after all, when will you all be together in such a full group again? I will help you choose the location and the perfect time during the day for such a short session. It usually lasts just 10–20 minutes.
Just as a bakery does not hand out raw dough for bread to be baked at home, I also do not deliver half-finished images. According to the contract, it is also not allowed to independently edit my photos or apply filters to them. I believe that if you choose to work with me, it is because you appreciate the style and completeness of my photography.
