We believe the most powerful wedding photos and films come from your connection.
As a husband and wife duo capturing both photography and film, we document your day together — observing quietly, moving naturally, and allowing moments to unfold without interruption. Working with both digital and analogue photography, we create cinematic imagery and films that feel intimate, romantic, and unmistakably yours.
WHAT WE'RE KNOWN FOR
Cinematic Storytelling
We tell your story as it naturally unfolds — focusing on connection, movement, and how it all felt in the moment
Luxury Experience
Luxury isn’t about more — it’s about ease, intention, and feeling truly seen and cared for.
That Analogue Blend
Our blend of film and digital gives your story that cinematic depth — rich tones, soft nostalgia, and emotion you can feel.
OUR PROMISE TO YOU:
Connection over posing
We take time to know you — so when the camera’s out, it all feels natural.
Film tones that feel like nostalgia
Romantic, effortless, and full of emotion — like memories you can hold.
Presence over perfection
We don’t chase trends. We capture how it really felt — romantic, cinematic, and unmistakably you.
Hey there, we're Paula & Pete!
We’re Paula & Pete — a husband-and-wife photo and film duo who live for connection, storytelling, and a good slice of pizza.
When we’re not behind the camera, we’re usually off on dog-filled adventures or watching our favourite films — the ones that make you feel. That’s exactly how we approach your story, too.

THE SWIECHS EXPERIENCE
A different way to document a wedding
Every wedding is different, but our intention stays the same.
We focus on your connection and the way you naturally are together — creating photos and films that feel like your own romantic movie.
As a married couple ourselves, we know how important it is to stay present and truly experience the day. Getting to know our couples before the wedding means that when the moment arrives, you can relax, be yourselves, and let everything unfold naturally.
01
Two storytellers. One vision.
Because we capture both photo and film together, your story unfolds seamlessly. Every moment is documented with the same rhythm, perspective, and cinematic feel from start to finish.
02
gentle Art direction that captures you at your best.
Most couples tell us they feel nervous in front of a camera. Our approach is calm and natural, focused on helping you stay present with each other and fully enjoy the day. We guide when needed, then step back so the moments can unfold naturally.
03
Images that feel like a memory
Working with both film and digital, we create wedding galleries and films that feel cinematic, romantic, and last generations. Photos that look like a movie and feel exactly like your day did.
