Oliwia is a specialist wedding photographer based in Isleworth, delivering authentic, emotive wedding photography and engagement shoots across London & Brighton. Experienced, personal and attentive.
My name is Oliwia Kawka and I specialise in wedding photography from my base in Isleworth, working across London and Brighton. With over fifteen years behind the camera — beginning in the era of film — I bring a careful, practiced eye to every wedding day. That experience taught me to anticipate moments and to value authenticity: I capture the small, unscripted details that become the images you will cherish. I position myself as a wedding specialist. Whether you prefer a documentary-style reportage that follows the story of your day from preparations, through the ceremony, to the reception, or a calmer series of bridal and couple portraits, my aim is the same: professional wedding photos that feel genuine and timeless. I combine observational storytelling with considered portraiture so you get both spontaneous emotions and beautifully composed portraits of you and your family. Working with couples is personal and collaborative. I start with a conversation to understand your vision, plan suitable locations (Isleworth, London streets or Brighton’s seaside are among my favourites) and build a relaxed atmosphere on the day so you can be yourselves. My approach is warm and unobtrusive — I guide when needed but trust moments to unfold naturally. This method helps even camera-shy clients feel comfortable and leads to wedding photos that reflect real emotion. Beyond weddings, I also offer portrait and family photography as core services, bringing the same sensitivity and attention to detail to engagement shoots, family portraits and bridal sessions. These primary services complement my wedding work and are often integrated into wedding packages as engagement or pre-wedding sessions. Occasionally I photograph maternity, events and fashion projects — these are additional services I can provide on request, but my primary focus remains wedding, portrait and family photography. If you’d like images that tell the story of your wedding day honestly and beautifully, get in touch. I welcome a chat to explore your ideas, show examples from my portfolio and plan a photography approach that suits your day. I care about making every session unique and every client feel valued — photographed with heart, experience and a steady hand.
