Your wedding day, unfiltered.
I'm Eliska — a documentary wedding photographer based in Prague,
shooting across Europe and beyond. No stiff poses. No forced smiles. Just you two, as you actually are, on the best day of your lives.
Based in Prague, available everywhere. Czech Republic, the Netherlands, France, Italy, Hong Kong — if that's where your wedding is, let's talk.
How do I work?
I'm a fly on the wall with a fine art degree.
Most of the day I disappear — catching your mum's tear, your dad's nerves, your friends at their most unhinged. The moments no one posed for.
Then we steal 20 minutes together, just us, and make something that looks like a painting. That's the deal.
We hired Eliska for our wedding last June, and it was one of the best decisions we made. I wanted a documentary-style photographer who could truly capture the essence of the moment, and Eliska and her team did exactly that. We are beyond thrilled with the stunning photos and the priceless memories they preserved for us. Eliska is not only a talented professional but also incredibly friendly and easygoing, making the entire day feel effortless and stress-free. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for photography that beautifully tells the story of the moment.

Eliska beautifully captured our wedding day from start to finish. Her storytelling through pictures is truly an artform that few have mastered. Eliska came to Seattle to photograph our wedding and I truly believe there isn't anyone in the distance between Seattle and Prague who could've done a better job. We will cherish our pictures for many years to come. Thank you!

Trained in film. In love with people. Never without a camer
I have a master's degree from art university, and I spent years in the darkroom before I ever shot a wedding.
Film never left me — if anything, I love it more now.
I own more cameras than I probably should. Some are the same age as me. Some are older than my mother. And some have been around as long as my 91-year-old grandfather. Every single one still works. Every single one still has something to say.
I shoot 35mm and medium format. I reach for toy cameras when the mood calls for it. The black and white I develop myself — chemicals, darkroom, scanner, everything. The full process is my work, start to finish.
There's something that happens with film — a grain, a softness, a happy accident — that no preset in the world can fake. It adds a playful, breathing quality that I love layering against the razor-sharp files from my Fujifilm GFX at weddings.
If you're an analog freak too, tell me. We can add a film roll to your gallery — a few frames that feel a little different from the rest. Looser. More alive. The kind of pictures that look like they were found in a shoebox twenty years from now.

Who is the person behin camera?
I picked up a camera in my teens and never really put it down.
Photography didn't start as a plan. It started as an obsession — that feeling of seeing something and needing to capture it before it disappeared. I studied photography formally, graduated, and then kept going. The education was the beginning. The real school has been the thousands of hours since, with a camera in my hands, watching people.
What I love most isn't the technical side, though I care about that too. It's people. Meeting strangers, earning their trust quickly, and then getting to witness something true — a nervous laugh, a hand squeeze, a moment between two people who forgot I was there. That's what I'm after every time.
When I'm not shooting weddings, I'm still shooting.
I collect old analog cameras — probably more than I should admit. On weekends you'll sometimes find me in my darkroom, developing film by hand, watching images appear in the developer like small miracles. I experiment with cyanotypes, lith printing, double exposures. I find that working with analog slows me down in a way that makes my digital eye sharper.
Photography isn't something I do. It's how I see the world.
I also teach — workshops, conferences, one-on-one mentoring — because I believe that if something changed your life, you pass it on. I've spoken at international photography conferences, co-host the Origins Workshop for Czech photographers, and run a podcast about the craft and business of photography. Helping other photographers find their voice is one of the things I'm most proud of.
If my work resonates with you — if you feel something when you look at the pictures — then we'll probably get along beautifully.
