I first met Klaudia and Michał at their engagement session… in Tuscany. The feel of narrow sun-warmed streets, cypress trees lining the road and ice cream shared during the shoot stayed with me for a long time. Beautifully, Klaudia and Michał decided to bring that Italian atmosphere to Warsaw, to Cicha 23. Tuscan-style decorations, greenery and lemons, plus Italian ease and THEM. See for yourselves!
Cicha23 and getting ready – intimate and comfortable
Cicha23 is a place full of character – a small wooden house with a green garden, perfect for couples who want a wedding close to nature, intimate and relaxed. Don’t worry that the space is small – it’s easy to organise so that everyone has their own spot. For example, the groom gets ready at the back of the house and the bride inside – or the other way round. That way everyone has privacy, and the photos come out natural and full of light. A small space? No problem, as long as the day is well planned.
An outdoor ceremony surrounded by greenery
Klaudia and Michał said “I do” in the garden, among the trees and shrubs. The outdoor ceremony in the greenery of Cicha23 was calm, intimate and fitted beautifully with the natural feel of the place. An outdoor wedding like this is a great option for couples from Warsaw and the area who dream of getting married in nature, with a beautiful backdrop for photos and vows exchanged among the greenery.
A mini session during the wedding
At Cicha23 it’s also easy to find a moment for short but beautiful mini sessions in the garden. We used the light between the trees and around the wooden details. The result? Natural portraits, full of emotion and lightness. The greenery does the work on its own – no extra lighting needed, everything looks soft and natural.
A reception in a small Tuscan-style stable
The reception took place in a small stable that turned into a little Tuscany. It works brilliantly, because everything happens close together. A lot of attention went into the food and drink area – outdoors as well – and the deckchairs, where guests could rest, chat and catch their breath between dances. A wedding like this combines elegance with ease and gives guests a comfort that’s often missing in big venues without a garden.
A first dance under the open sky and a wild party in the stable
First, the first dance in the garden – we lit it with reportage flashes, so low light wasn’t a problem. And right after that – a dance floor in the stable full of music and laughter, where guests partied together, close to each other, with no distance at all. This combination gave the evening both romance and real madness.
