Based in Glenrothes, Bernadeta Kupiec is a specialist wedding photographer creating intimate, documentary wedding photos across Scotland, Europe and beyond. She captures honest, artful moments.
I’m Bernadeta — a Glenrothes-based wedding photographer and romantic photojournalist who tells love stories through honest, memory-rich imagery. My practice is rooted in documentary wedding photography: I look for the little unscripted moments, the quiet gestures and the spontaneous laughter that reveal who you are as a couple. Those are the images that age like stories, not just pictures. Why choose me? I specialise in intimate and destination weddings across Scotland, Europe and beyond. Whether your day unfolds in a Scottish glen, an elegant château in Dordogne, a sunlit villa in Tuscany or a riad in Marrakech, I travel to capture your celebration with a sensitive, artful eye. My approach is unobtrusive — I’m the quiet witness who stays present without getting in the way, so your emotions and connections remain the centre of every frame. My work is driven by curiosity and care. I aim to create a relaxed atmosphere where even camera-shy couples feel seen and at ease. Before your wedding I’ll take time to get to know you: your plans, what makes you laugh, and the small rituals that matter. On the day I prioritise trust and flow — blending candid reportage with considered portraiture when it feels right — so the photographs feel true to your experience rather than manufactured for a shot list. I bring editorial sensibilities and an emphasis on natural light to every assignment, shaping images that feel timeless, romantic and cinematic. Being named one of Rangefinder’s 30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography in 2021 is a milestone I’m proud of, but what matters most to me is the connection I build with couples: many describe the experience as gaining a friend and a calm presence alongside outstanding photographs. While wedding photography is my core focus, I also photograph couples and portrait sessions when they complement a wedding or celebration. Above all, my promise is to create photographs that honour your story — candid, beautiful and intentionally felt — so they remain cherished long after the day has passed. If you’re planning a wedding and want images that read like a personal, emotional narrative, I’d love to hear about your plans.
