Reviews of Karolina Kotkiewicz Photography

We first met Karolina at my best friend's wedding where she was the photographer and knew we wanted her to be our photographer when we got married. Karolina is so talented, we love the documentary style of her photos, there are just so many wow photos in our gallery. When she posted our sneak peak a few days after the wedding I burst into tears, they are stunning and capture our day so well. Not only that but Karolina went above and beyond to help with everything on the day. And we had a lot of fun with her, she is a bundle of energy and so great to work with. And a big shout out to Ricky as well, you are awesome too and played a big part in capturing the beautiful photos and helping out on the day. #dreamteam

Karolina is more than 5 star. She captured our wedding perfectly. She is fun and full of life and makes you feel so relaxed when taking photos. You can tell it’s her passion and she loves what she does her photos tell a story and capture every emotion throughout our special day. We cannot recommend her highly enough she has a true talent and every photo we are just like WOW!! Thank you so so much Karolina for our amazing photos x

From start to finish Karolina was amazing! When we were right at the start of planning our wedding, we listed all of the things that were most important to us: and the photography was top of the list. Above food, above 'the dress'.. yes! We are so happy that we found Karolina. Her photographs were beautiful - wonderful (and varied) moments of emotion and humour captured with an amazing eye for lighting and composition. They were exactly what we had hoped for, and more! Nothing felt staged, and for the most part I had no idea where she was at any given moment - and yet somehow she captured all of the important things, all of the things I remembered, and a whole bunch of things I hadn't even noticed! Karolina was great to work with, from a phone call a few days before the wedding to discuss details, to the emails following the wedding day, she was always professional, organised and punctual. On the day she was friendly and personable (no surprises there, we met up in person several months beforehand and she was lovely then too!), and all of the guests loved her. You can tell that everyone felt comfortable. My partner and I couldn’t be more pleased with the photographs of our wedding day. They truly capture the atmosphere of the day and tell a story. We hardly noticed where Karolina was throughout the day, which meant we were relaxed and the photographs are natural.If you are looking for a photographer who will capture genuine images of your day, nothing airbrushed or stilted - and yet somehow still looking like they belong in a gallery - this is your woman. Can't recommend enough! When choosing your photographer it can feel very overwhelming about how much to spend and what style you want, but I can say confidently that Karolina is worth every penny! We also had a wonderful and unforgettable photo shoot in Paris :) Together with James, we know that this is not our last meeting with Karolina and her photographic talent. She became part of our family. Thank you Ela & James PS.Ricky you are amazing!!! You are also a big part of these beautiful pictures!Thank you :)

A massive thank you goes out to Karolina for photographing our wedding day on 07/04/22. Everything about the booking process with her was easy and her attention to detail was second to none, we loved our pre wedding book! On the day itself, she genuinely felt like a good friend and had us relaxed and laughing all day. She even shed a few tears which just made it even more special. The photos we received are beautiful and we just couldn’t be happier. If you’re thinking of booking Karolina, don’t hesitate, she’ll blow your socks off. ❤️❤️❤️

From the moment we met Karolina we knew she was the perfect choice of photographer for us. She made us feel so at ease. We were both pretty nervous about being photographed in the busy high street fornour engagement shoot- but she pulled it out the bag and got some unbelievable shots! And where to begin with our wedding!! Karolina and Ricky captured the most amazing day of our lives so perfectly. It was so relaxed and a real pleasure having them with us. We are overjoyed with our photos and can't recommend her highly enough!

I started looking for a photographer for my vow renewal over 2 years ago, and was blessed with finding Karolina. I live in California and my husband and I were going to Scotland so I wanted to surprise him with a vow renewal, for our 10 year anniversary. When I first started this process I was wary on how it all would work with us being in different countries, but from the first email I knew I had found my photographer. I sent off our depoist and knew we would be set. Unfortunately our original travel plans had to be put on hold due to unexpected family business, sadly I typed Karolina informing her we had to cancel, but we were planning on coming the following year. Karolina wished us the best and hoped to see us in the future. Once we decided on a date the following year, i crossed my fingers and sent Karolina an email hoping she would be available, since I spent the year stalking her amazing work on facebook. The heavens were looking down on us and she was available, plus she used my original deposit towards our shoot. We made all our arrangements via email and KK made me feel very confident our day would be amazing and she was not wrong. We meet the day of our vow renewal and we clicked just the way I had hoped. She was never imposing and made us feel extremely comfortable. Some of the pictures she captured I had no idea she was even taking. Karolina is more than accommodating to any ideas you have, and is constantly looking for new ideas and poses. Karolina truly has a gift to capture not only the scenery but capture the feeling of the moment. Our family was not with us for the vow renewal but with KK's pictures they were able to experience the day as if they were there. Karolina was more than I could have ever hoped for, she is not only an incredible person but her talent is beyond compare. We will cherish our pictures forever, I hope Karolina never stops what she is doing the love and passion she shares can never be duplicated.

Karolina and Ricky are a fantastic couple to work with. They are extremely professional and so warm and friendly. Karolina made our friends and family feel so at ease, despite all the restrictions we faced with Covid. Our wedding day was captured so beautifully, and her attention to detail was impeccable. Our photos are beautiful and so many people have commented on how lovely they are. We cannot express how much we love and treasure our wedding photos and how grateful we are to you and Ricky for all your help and support on our wedding day!

L. C.

Karolina is such a nice person and an extremely talented photographer. Both her and her partner Ricky made us feel completely at ease on our wedding day and Karolina was great to deal with on the lead up to the wedding, even though I was completely stressed trying to change the date and arrangements due to covid. She has captured the most stunning photos of our wedding and we couldn’t be happier with them. Our photos are so natural which is what we wanted and everyone we have shown has complimented how lovely they are.

Karolina is AMAZING! She was our wedding photographer on the 4th of January and her photos are beautiful... we can’t believe the speed of the turn around of her work! We received them all before we got back from our honeymoon. Karolina was an absolute pleasure to work with, in the lead up to the wedding her correspondence was amazing, she was supportive and had great ideas in order to shoot our winter wedding before it got too dark. On the day Karolina and Ricky felt like wedding guests, they were so sweet, reassuring and lovely to be around. They captured so many special moments and put a whole different artistic perspective on the day. Karolina had been a second option after our first photographer had to cancel for unforeseen personal circumstances. It is clear she is highly recommended across the industry and a complete team player... Book Karolina, you will not regret it!!! Thanks so so much. Lucy and Benjamin xx

Highly recommended!! Karolina is a very friendly and extremely talented wedding photographer. Karolina has given us photographs we thought only existed in magazines, every photograph was more than we ever wished for. We will treasure our wedding photographs forever! All our guests commented on how at ease they felt with her, very relaxing and natural. Karolina was fun and didn’t stop smiling throughout the day, every photo we requested, she was more than happy to oblige. Karolina has a fantastic eye for detail, capturing all the small details we worked so hard on that I feel others might have missed, in fact, one of my favourite photos from the day is a photo of our guests hands raising a glass over our centrepieces, Excellent shot! We would recommended her to anyone looking for their wedding photographer. These will stay with us forever and I appreciate so much that it was you who was with us on this once-in-a-lifetime experience. We can’t thank you enough!

I have had Karolina in mind for my wedding photographer since I first met her over ten years ago and I she certainly did not disappoint! Not only is Karolina (and also her partner Ricky) incredibly personable and engaging, but her photography is simply breathtaking. I could not have asked for me and I can’t recommend her enough - an absolutely beautiful person and absolutely beautiful work.

I. A.

Karolina was absolutely amazing for our wedding. Prior to the wedding we were very reassured by her knowledge of the venue (Carberry Tower) and her detailed preparation. On the day she was really nice to everyone; and she contributed to a calm, relaxed atmosphere (really appreciated when I - the bride - was getting ready!). She was also excellent during the ceremony itself, especially our priest appreciated that she was not intrusive at all. Once we got the photos, everyone in our family commented on how pretty they were, and how well she and her assistant captured candid moments throughout the day. Some of the shots are absolutely magical! 100% would recommend.

Karolina and Ricky were just amazing! We had both our engagement shoot and wedding day in December 2016 and she was just amazingly helpful, friendly and accommodating for each occasion. Neither my husband and I are particularly comfortable having our photos taken but Karoline put us both at ease and the photos are exceptional and reallly capture "us". After having seen photos of a friends wedding I just knew she would be the perfect photographer for us. So many of her shots look like they belong in an expensive wedding magazine, and all my friends and family have sung her praises for both her professionalism on the day as well as her photography style. My wedding album is going to be ridiculously large as I want all of the photos to be a part of it and I cannot wait to get the engagement shoot photos framed and up on the walls! If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding, or just any occasion really, I couldn't recommend Karolina highly enough.

B. M. D.

What can I say? Karolina is a fantastic photographer and a wonderful human being. We first met Karolina at a friends wedding a few years ago and we knew then that we wanted her for our wedding. She captured our wedding day perfectly, she went over and above what I would have expected a photographer to do on the day, from helping the groom fit flowers to fixing the brides shoes when they caught on her dress. She made us and our guests feel very relaxed while taking photos and never felt intrusive. The engagement shoot she offered was a great way to get to know her before the big day and helped us feel at home with her, a perfect way to prepare for the day. The photos she took were fantastic, capturing the best moments of the day, sometimes without even knowing she was there. Couldn’t be happier with the product we received. Highly recommended

D. C.

Outstanding photographers! Karolina and Ricky are warm,friendly and made us feel at ease from the moment we met! They captured our day perfectly and have given us beautiful photos to cherish. We absolutely love our wedding album as the photos capture special moments and tell the story of our day. The service was so professional and I absolutely loved receiving our personalised pen drive of photos along with album. Choosing Karolina was the best decision and I highly recommend, you won't be disappointed!

T. J.

I cannot reccomend Karolina enough - I booked her for both my Scottish and Indian weddings in November! The photos are absolutely stunning and exactly what I was looking for. Karolina and Ricky were so friendly and fit in amongst my family and friends to make everyone feel comfortable. Karolina goes above and beyond to get the most magical pictures :)

J. W.

We worked with Karolina and Ricky on three occasions - save the date, wedding and post-wedding outdoor photo shoot. I seriously can't imagine having anyone else as our photographers! Both my husband and I get awkward when people take photos of us, but Karolina and Ricky made it so easy for us, we felt like pros after some time! ;) At our wedding they blended in with the guests so nicely that the photos couldn't be any more natural. We decided not to have a video recording at the wedding and I started having second thoughts about it just before the big day. However, after seeing the photos, I knew it was the right decision! Karolina captured the moment spot on without intimidating anyone and the quality of the photos is simply amazing. Thank you so much guys! Xxx

Karolina's skills have made three family weddings (two in covid) more than wonderful. The memories we will have of the days will always bring happiness, great photos and not least those taken unknown to us all, the informal shots. Added to this Karolina is a warm and caring person and even gets caught up with the small practical things of the day. Can't rate highly enough .

I came across Karolinas work on Facebook as someone had shared photos from their wedding which she has been the photographer at. Instantly I fell in love with her work, the special natural images she captures are incredible. This was all before I was even planning our wedding so when the time came for me to do so this was the first vendor I was desperate to secure. I was delighted when Karolina replied to say she was available on the day and we arranged to meet face to face to discuss everything photography. We knew then after looking at sample wedding albums that we absolutely wanted to book Karolina as our wedding photographer. On the lead up to the wedding Karolina was always available to discuss any queries we had and she spoke in length with us via a questionaire about what we wanted on the day, any particular shots that were important etc. On our wedding day Karolina was amazing, she kept everything running smoothly in the morning and was more like part of the bridal party. She was great at keeping everyone where they should be and ensured to get as many great shots as possible without being stuck in front of the camera for too long. I was blown away with the images taken on the day, they truly capture the essence of our wedding and I particularly love the photos of our two little boys! I spent months deciding on the set number of images for our wedding album but finally came to my decision and received the AMAZING wedding album a few weeks ago. It’s now my absolute prized possession and I’m so glad to have decided on the large book. If you are thinking of booking Karolina and Ricky then I would a million percent reccomend them. Thank you both so much from the bottom of my heart, you guys are so friendly, talented and professional 🤍🤍

Karolina was our fantastic photographer for our wedding in January at Carberry Tower - she was amazing and we cannot recommend her strongly enough. Despite us both being quite shy (and awkward!) in front of the camera, Karolina's friendly nature and incredible warmth and positivity put us at ease. She really was fantastic and an integral part of our day - even expertly sewing a dress when it developed a tear! She captured all the little aspects of our day that we had put a lot of effort into and now we have a beautiful collection of photographs to treasure. Everyone has commented on how lovely all her pictures are, you just have to look at any of the pictures on her website to see that, but she also really captured our day and you only get once chance at that. We are so pleased that we chose her!

I'm not usually keen on having my photo taken so it was really important that I found a photographer who I could feel comfortable with. Not only was I able to relax with Karolina, but it turned into a really fun afternoon!!! Karolina is such a lovely person and extremely talented photographer. Her work speaks for itself! I cannot recommend her highly enough!

A. &. D.

We cannot rate Karolina highly enough! We got married earlier this year and Karolina did an amazing job of capturing our day. She was recommended to us by a friend and we are so glad we took their advice. Beautiful photos.

A. M.

Karolina is so welcoming, friendly and extremely talented. Our day was captured so beautifully and she made us feel at ease throughout. I highly recommend her, I cannot thank Karolina enough for the incredible turn out of not only our photos but also the finished products. All to a very high standard and finished to perfection. She takes her time to get to know you personally and become a part of your day rather than just in the background. Outstanding work and such a beautiful person inside and out. Thank you.

We wanted to invest in our wedding photographs as we knew they would provide us with the lasting memories of our special day. We couldn't be happier with the photographs Karolina and Ricky produced. We had so many complements from friends and family about their work and about how comfortable they made everyone feel on the day. If you are looking for a photographer who will capture your day, without missing any special moment, fit in with your guests as if they were old friends and provide you with top class photographs book Karolina and Ricky now!

B. S.

Karolina and Ricky are very professional, thorough and personable. From the first meeting we felt at ease. They have a great eye for detail and story telling photography. On the wedding day, there isn't time to think about all the people and moments that need to be captured, so to have someone there with the eye and experience to do this, is something we really appreciated.

M. G.

Karolina really is second to none. She is incredibly polite, talented and hardworking. Her communication is fantastic and will go out of her way to give you the best experience possible. Her photos look amazing and instantly puts you at ease during both your engagement shoot and the wedding day. She makes the experience fun and at times, you won’t even know she is there such is her ability to put you at ease. Couldn’t recommmend highly enough! Thanks for everything, Mike and Hannah

We booked Karolina for our family photography session in Edinburgh. She is an amazing photographer. Has a loads of ideas and most importntly loved interacting with our kids. I'm a photographer myself and it gave her extra pressure, but she did awesome job and now we will have beautiful set of photos to decorate our walls. Definitely recommend her for not only family photogarphy but she is amazing at weddings too. You will love results.

H. L. C.

I have been to two weddings now where Karolina was the photographer (one of them was my brothers) On both occasions she was both enthusiastic and incredibly friendly, she even remembered us! (the weddings were a year apart). Highly recommended.

A. K.

Karolina and Ricky went above and beyond for our engagement and wedding shoots. When you have someone who wants to make sure that they get the best shot possible, even if it takes them longer to get it, then you know you have a photographer who cares passionately about their work and wants to make sure that you get the best quality possible. And the end result is fantastic. Thank you Karolina and Ricky!

C. R.

Karolina and her husband are amazing. We used them for our wedding in April and have just got the photos back and we are blown away by them. The engagement photoshoot was also brilliant and gave us a chance to get used to being in front of the camera. On the wedding day, they were both professional and subtle - unless you were looking for them or they were doing the set photos, you didn't notice they were there. Though they were both on hand to help out when a couple of (unrelated) things went awry! Also, on a personal note, they are both lovely! Really friendly and bubbly and we were glad we picked them!

D. C.

We could not have picked a beter wedding photography team. Our stunning photos truly capture our magical day and the service received was just fantastic.

S. &. J.

Just fabulous!! Karolina and Ricky are great professionals, so hard working and such fun to work with. They captured our wedding day perfectly. Several of our guests commented on how great they were too. Thank you both so much.

E.

So delighted with our photos! Several wedding guests commented on how nice Karolina and her assistant were on the day too. Can’t recommend enough.

n. r.

I think the photos say it all, just so beautifully captured and exactly what we wanted. Karolina has this creative eye and attention to detail that comes through in her work and it’s exactly the reason why we chose her as our photographer. She was so accommodating when we changed our date and was always responsive over email. She was enthusiastic, warm, friendly and so organised which I loved. She made us feel at ease behind the camera and her partner Ricky was very funny and a great assistant.

S. K.

What can I say? Karolina she is just so perfect and professional. She captured our special day and she went above and beyond what we had expected. Definitely recommend!!!

F. I.

Just seen my niece's wedding pictures. Beautiful!!
