Hello, I’m Kuba Okon. I’m a Polish wedding photographer based in Costa Rica (for most of the year). I specialize in destination weddings in Central America, but I’m available to travel worldwide. My style comes from experience as an award-winning painter. The knowledge I obtained while studying to get my Master of Fine Arts degree, as well as multinational practice working as a photographer for the last decade, has given me a unique style and perspective.
My approach:
For me, it is all about making something beautiful. I try to capture things in a candid and artistic way. I am known to photograph in an unobtrusive manner. I try not to influence situations too much by only giving direction as needed, but I prefer to mostly let the day happen as it should. Ultimately, my goal is to craft fine art images that will be cherished for a lifetime.

Yes. I cover large traditional weddings as well as small intimate elopements. Elopements can strip away the stress of planning a large wedding and let you concentrate on what matters most: your love. Also, an elopement should have a guest count of no more than 10 individuals.
Yes! I give you personal printing rights for the photographs.
Yes! After going through all of the images with great attention to detail, I choose the best ones. Then, I edit each photo individually mostly for color, quality, and exposure.
I shoot weddings by myself and with a second photographer (depending on the type of wedding package you and your fiancé choose). I also use the help of my assistant. I usually recommend using a second photographer for weddings with more than 100 guests.
Of course. I think it is very important to get to know each other. It helps to create trust before that special day. If you are busy or live far away, we can always arrange a Skype/Facetime call.
Well, I was interested in art since I can remember. I always had a passion for sketching and painting. I even graduated with a Master of Fine Arts degree. My love for photography came naturally.
For weddings, I generally deliver around 75-100 images per hour.
Post-production typically takes between four to six weeks.
I am very unobtrusive when photographing weddings, and I like to observe from a certain distance. I try not to influence situations too much if possible. I will give some direction if needed, but I mostly let the day happen as it should. At the same time, I am very close to the action. The result is a style that documents events in a candid and an artistic way.
