Specialist wedding photographer in Livingston, Karolina Kotkiewicz captures authentic, story-driven wedding and engagement photos. She blends relaxed portrait work with a warm, documentary approach.
I specialise in wedding photography based in Livingston, bringing a portrait photographer’s eye to every wedding day. My work combines a love of intimate, posed portraits with a documentary instinct for the spontaneous moments that make each celebration unique — the small, honest gestures, the laughter, the quiet glances. I aim to create wedding photos that feel both true to the day and beautiful enough to live on your walls. My approach is personal and collaborative. From our first message to the delivery of your final images I focus on getting to know you: who you are, what matters on the day, and the moments you most want remembered. I often suggest a relaxed engagement session so we can meet over coffee, ease any nerves, and build rapport — this makes the wedding day flow more naturally and produces more honest, joyful photographs. On the wedding day I work unobtrusively, guiding when needed for portraits and stepping back to capture candid, emotional storytelling when it matters most. My experience with creative portraiture means I’m happy to craft striking bridal and couple images, while my documentary sensibility ensures your reportage is authentic and unobtrusive. You’ll get a balanced collection of images: thoughtful portraits, natural ceremony and reception moments, and the small details that tell the story of your day. After the shoot I refine every image in my digital darkroom to ensure consistent tone and timeless editing that enhances the feeling of the moment without over-stylising it. I deliver professional, high-resolution files suitable for prints and keepsakes, tailored to how you want to relive your wedding. While weddings are my core focus, my portrait experience means I’m equally comfortable creating bridal portraits, engagement images and relaxed couple sessions. I also take on family and maternity shoots on occasion, applying the same warm, narrative-led style. If you’re planning a wedding in Livingston or anywhere in GB and you want a photographer who cares about both beautiful portraiture and honest storytelling, let’s talk. I’ll listen to your story, help you feel at ease in front of the camera, and capture the moments that make your day yours — with heart, clarity and a lasting sense of place.
