Such wonderful photographers and people! They not only took beautifully artistic shots of our wedding day (that are timeless and look as if they are from a movie set!) but they are such a kind, thoughtful duo whose presence put us at ease and made us feel truly special. Thank you both so much again! Do not hesitate to book Simon and Sylwia--you will be over the moon with your choice! x

Sylwia and Simon were fantastic! Their communication with us before, during and after our wedding was excellent. They made everything in the run up to the wedding and on the day itself straightforward and stress free. Their cheery personalities relaxed us both and helped make our photos more natural. Can't recommend them highly enough!

I couldn't have dreamed of better photographers at our wedding. Here are my three top reasons to choose Simon and Sylwia: 1. You want to surround yourself with nice people on your wedding day. Simon and Sylwia are such a lovely couple. They bring joy, and laughter and make you relax. To me this is essential. Also, you get to know them a bit in advance, and they feel like natural guests. All emailing and contact have been so smooth. 2. Since they are two, you get photos from two simultaneous events in different places, for example bride and groom getting ready. And group photos. Some things are good do efficiently, so there's more time for the fun parts. 3. The photos are absolutely wonderful. If you want to look good on your wedding day, go for these people. ;) Even more important (for me at least) is that they managed to truly capture the wonderful atmosphere on our wedding day. Sharp photos of people moving, dancing, laughing and having fun. I don't know how they managed to do that. The result is priceless. I couldn't recommend Sylwia and Simon more.

Sylwia and Simon are truly incredible people and photographers! They captured the joy of our wedding day perfectly and we thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience - from our initial coffee meeting, to our beautifully sunny wedding day photoshoot on the beach, to receiving our gorgeous photo package. Our family and friends agreed it was such a pleasure having Sylwia and Simon join us on our special day. They are both so thoughtful and kind with positive energy and a true passion for what they do. We are absolutely delighted with how our images turned out and will be forever grateful to Sylwia and Simon. Thank you so very much! We would 100% recommend Crofts & Kowalczyk to anyone!

We knew as soon as we met Simon and Sylwia that they were the wedding photographers for us. We’d already checked out their website and knew their work was amazing, but it was their warmth and enthusiasm on meeting face-to-face that clinched the deal. Their helpful and professional communications in the lead up to the big day made us feel in safe hands. We opted to upgrade to the photo and video fusion package quite late in the day – and what a great decision. Worth every penny. On our wedding day Sylwia spent the morning with the bridesmaids and I while Simon was with the groom and groomsmen. Sylwia’s calming presence made us feel totally at ease, and the getting ready shots are some of my favourites. One of the highlights of our day was being whisked away for our late afternoon portrait shoot – it was lovely to get away from the madness of the day and just breathe. Having Simon’s drone zipping around was a lot of fun and the aerial shots he captured were just breath taking! We couldn’t be happier with our photos and beautifully crafted video. Such a talented and lovely couple, we would recommend Simon and Sylwia in a heartbeat.

Sylwia and Simon are exceptional photographers. They photographed our wedding in June and we are absolutely thrilled with the results - they captured the day perfectly and in such a beautiful and refreshing way. They are both a delight to have around on your special day - full of kindness and positivity, and they compliment each other brilliantly. The photographs are truly fabulous, they managed to capture very special moments throughout the day - their eye for detail is incredible. The only problem is it is far too difficult to pick our favourites! We can't thank you both enough! X

Sylwia and Simon were absolutely incredible to work with from beginning to end! We cared very much about our photographs and decided we wanted two photographers.From when we started to choose our photographers, their photos immediately stood out above the rest. Sylwia and Simon worked great individually with each of us as well as together to get amazing photos of our day! As we were international, we were not able to meet with them, but they answered all of our (many) questions by email and skype. They had also not shot at our venue yet so on the day they came a little early to scope out the venue (and took some amazing shots while doing that). They photographed each of us separately which we loved because it means we have mirroring images of us getting ready and then they were able to capture many more moments and angles for the wedding and reception. Simon even helped my husband with his boutonniere. After the ceremony we both realized that neither of us saw Sylwia or Simon during the ceremony, yet they still captured incredible photos without us or our guests noticing. They were able to play off of each others strengths during our portrait session - and they even brought a smoke bomb and drone! As we had our wedding at peak time, it did take the maximum time they had estimated for us to receive our photos but it was well worth the wait! They even put some photos to music in a little video which we were able to share with friends and family. We have just received our pen drive of the photos and Sylwia and Simon sent us a lovely box with a card, candle, chocolate and the pen drive which was so wonderful to open. We would absolutely choose them again, they did a fantastic job with the photos, and working with them was absolutely incredible. We could not be happier!

Sylwia and Simon were the most wonderful photographers at our wedding. They really put in a lot of effort to get to know us so that they could produce some fantastic images that we will treasure for a lifetime. They blended in so well and took such precious shots. They were a pleasure to talk to and were really receptive to our comments and suggestions. The photos are fantastic quality and a sample together with the usb stick, came through in beautiful packaging. Very happy to recommend them to everyone! Thanks guys!

Sylwia and Simon were incredible! We cannot praise them enough for their talent, professionalism and kindness. They were a pleasure to work with and they were so lovely on our wedding day, helping us and all of our guests to feel at ease. They really have a fantastic eye for capturing special moments – the pictures were wonderful and the selection had a lovely variety of shots. They completely captured the essence of the day. Our guests were delighted, and we were over the moon. Finally, the entire process from initial enquiry to delivery of the photos was very smooth, they know what they’re doing! We truly hope we will have more opportunities to be photographed by Sylwia and Simon in the future.

Fantastic! Superb photographers, very professional, and also fun to be around! We loved getting to know Sylwia and Simon before our wedding. We loved our engagement shoot pictures, and our wedding photos are fabulous, more than we could ever have hoped. Cannot recommend them highly enough!

I cannot recommend Simon and Sylwia enough! They were absolutely AMAZING. A photographer, to me, was the most important vendor to get right on the wedding day, as when it is all over and done, it is the photos you have to cherish. And I can honestly say I am so happy I chose Crofts & Kowalczyk because I didn't just get one amazing photographer, I got 2! They are both such lovely people and really work well together. From the first time we chatted to them on Skype, we hit it off really well with them and knew that we wanted them for our wedding. They were happy to arrange a face to face meeting the week of the wedding to go over small details, and put us at ease for the wedding. On the day itself, they were amazing. Sylwia was with myself, while Simon was with my husband in the morning. Having 2 photographers rather than the 1 was really special as it meant that my husband also got lots of photos on the day. Every guest I have spoken to have spoken very highly of them both, about how polite they were and how professional they were. During our portrait session, they were really good at telling us how they wanted us to pose but also just letting us be ourselves at the same time. Both have different styles and it was great watching them working together and supporting the other ones ideas. We just got our photos back from our wedding now, and they are everything we wanted and more. They captured lots of moments throughout the day and we are SO happy with all the photos. They made a small slideshow of their favourites for us to watch which was really nice as well. We got the photos delivered on a USB very quickly and not only that but they also gave us a small gift as well which was unexpected but so thoughtful. Thank you so much Simon and Sylwia for capturing our special day - you guys were awesome and I cannot recommend you enough! :)

We could not be happier with Sylwia and Simon's coverage of our wedding. From the moment we saw their work and spoke to them we felt at ease, knowing we were in good hands. We could not be happier with the results. We were not fans of traditional wedding photography and got many amazing artistic photographs which really told a story of the day. We believe that Sylwia and Simon get these amazing results because they did not start as wedding photographers but as artists (portrait and architecture photographers) and that really comes through in their work. They know what makes a good shot and it shows. I would recommend them to anyone as the wedding only lasts a few hours but the photographs last a lifetime. You can't go back and re-capture the moment and so we were very glad we could rely on Sylwia and Simon to do an amazing job!

From our first meeting with Sylwia and Simon we were filled with confidence that they would provide everything we dreamed of from our wedding photographer/videographer. Our minds were put at ease when they offered up creative ideas for what would work at our wedding venue, all the while offering us the opportunity to tell them our vision for our big day. The photos and video created were absolutely mesmerising and we have to pinch ourselves everytime we view them as they are so perfect. You will not be left disappointed if you choose Crofts & Kowalczyk!

We couldn’t recommend Sylwia and Simon highly enough! They are incredible photographers. The end result surpassed what we could ever have wished for – the photos are absolutely stunning. Sylwia and Simon were also a real pleasure to have on our wedding day. They made us feel at ease and even went above and beyond their photographer duties ensuring everything went smoothly on the day. We can’t thank them enough!!

Sylwia and Simon are wonderfully helpful, friendly and incredibly talented. Having seen their work we were in no doubt that their beautiful style was perfect for us and after meeting them were even more excited for them to photograph our wedding due to their warmth, and ability to make us feel at ease. Their website has great features and they made whole process easy and efficient. Their friendly and relaxed presence added to the day and our guests absolutely loved them! Sylwia and Simon got a real sense of what was important to us and our pre-wedding and wedding photos are absolutely perfect.

We cannot recommend Simon and Sylwia highly enough! They met up with us before our wedding to get to know us and find out exactly what we were looking for. It meant that on the day, we had the perfect experience: they were natural and relaxed and, above all, fun to have around. They took incredible, natural pictures and went to great lengths to capture the atmosphere of the day. They also ensured that we spent as little time away from our guests as possible. The eventual photos are beautiful and a testament to their hard work and efforts to get to know us. Thank you!

We cannot recommend them enough!! These two are the photographers and videographers you are seeking!!!!!!!!!!! Our wedding was in mid-October 2019 outside Edinburgh. Sylwia and Simon were warm and courteous, highly professional, and immensely talented! They are wonderfully nice people and put us at ease throughout the entire process - we met them in advance and had a nice chat about us, them, our wedding, and our hopes for how the pictures and videos would look...and they did not disappoint! We were amazed by the final results - better than we could have ever hoped. They are REAL people, not just a company. Recommended 150%! Thanks again to Sylwia and Simon at Crofts & Kowalczyk Photography! Trey and Rae

Simon and Sylwia are not only incredibly talented, but they are also lovely people. My husband and I had a blessing ceremony for our marriage in Edinburgh in December. We had the best day exploring the city with Simon and Sylwia – they were so kind and knowledgable about the city. They knew all the best locations for photos throughout the city. And when we received the photos we were blown away. Every photo was perfect. I cannot endorse them enough. Book them for your event! You will not regret it.

Simon and Sylwia were absolutely phenomenal! They were great to work with - friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and fun. And the pictures, the pictures!!!!!! We have had so many of our friends gushing over them. They are truly beautiful and really capture the day and the personalities of all of the people who were at our wedding. We really cannot thank Cro+Kow enough.

What an amazing duo! We hired Simon and Sylwia when we travelled to Scotland from Canada for some portrait photos. We spent a lot of time researching photographers around Edinburgh, and are so happy we chose them. Communication with them was excellent - from the first email we were instantly relieved, and knew we had made the right choice. We chose to do photos in St.Andrews, and had a blast wandering the town with Simon and Sylwia. They made us feel relaxed, were professional, and we shared many laughs throughout the day. We LOVED the photos they sent, and they are already in frames throughout our home. We really can't say enough good things about this awesome team - wishing them all the success in the world.

We had the best day, and Sylwia and Simon captured it all beautifully! My husband and I are both a bit camera shy but they made us feel totally at ease, at times not even noticing that we were being photographed. The photos were gorgeous, we couldn't have asked for more!!

Sylwia and Simon really took the guesswork out of planning the photos for an international wedding. They were great fun to have on the day and their photos captured every detail wonderfully. Incredibly professional and a true delight to work with.

Absolutely delighted with our wedding photographs by Sylwia and Simon of Crofts & Kowalczyk. A fresh, modern and natural approach which perfectly captured the intimacy of our special day. They were fantastic to work with - highly professional, enthusiastic and fun! If you're looking for wedding photographers in Edinburgh, I highly recommend you get in touch with them :)

Sylwia and Simon were amazing, right from the time we started chatting with them. Doing an overseas photoshoot (we are based in Singapore) can be challenging, but S&S made us very comfortable during the entire process, shared their experience, suggested locations to shoot and even checked weather forecast closer to the shoot days, which we are so glad they did as it snowed on the day we were expected to shoot. On the actual day, they were super prepared for the shoot, they had already done their walking tour and took us on a journey around Edinburgh old town, sharing stories and let us soak in the history and significance of everywhere we shot. They made it easy and very real to shoot, we never felt that we had to strike a pose and enjoyed the whole experience so much. The shots have come out amazing and we cannot stop looking at the photos, the photos bring back very fond memories and stories of our time in Edinburgh, memories we will carry with us forever, highly recommend S&S for your pre-wedding/wedding photo shoot.

Simon & Slywia agreed to photograph our wedding in The Cotswolds and quite simply we are blown away with what they have produced. Looking at the photographs took us right back to the day and they beautifully capture the fun, love and happiness that we felt all around us during the day. They are lovely people to work with and did a great job for us and some really beautiful and imaginative shots as well as some gorgeously candid shots of us and our guests. We really couldn't be more pleased with results, an amazing job done! Thank you Cro & Kow!

N. F.

My husband and I could not recommend crofts and kowalczyk enough, not only do they ooze talent but they are also two of the most kind hearted individuals that we have had the pleasure of meeting. They were on hand through the planning process to answer any questions and also on the day itself they were a great support and calming influence! Every wedding should have a Simon and Sylwia!

H. D.

We highly recommend Sylwia and Simon! We are very happy with our photos from our wedding day! They did a superb job blending in to the background and taking lots of fantastic shots.
