Karol Makula Photography Full Description
It’s so important after all the stress to just enjoy every minute of your day. So I make sure I capture all the important people and all the important moments. Both in formal portrait poses, but also with beautiful and natural shots. So when you finally get the chance to flop on the couch, catch your breath and look back on your day, you’ll know that all the organising, frantic phone calls, emails, admin and stress were worth it. And then when you look back in 10 years or more from now, you’ll still feel every magical moment! I’m Karol, award-winning wedding photographer based in Edinburgh, Glasgow covering Scotland and beyond.​ If you’d like to know more, please get in touch and I can chat with you about your wedding plans. ​I would love to hear from you!

We cannot recommend Karol highly enough!
We cannot recommend Karol highly enough! From the moment we first contacted Karol, he was incredibly personable, professional and accommodating. He listened to our brief and understood exactly what we were looking for in our wedding photographs. On the day of the wedding, Karol was an absolute pleasure to work with. He put us and our guests at ease, and captured every special moment of the day with incredible skill and attention to detail, resulting in truly stunning photos.

Karol was the best photographer on earth!
We were married on the 21st of June 2023 and Karol was the best photographer on earth! He took so many photos, endless and caught everyone! He was everything you could want, so attentive and available for us beforehand if we had needed it and ready to work on our vision.. we were clueless but it seems he read my mind anyway.

Karol is a wonderful photographer & made our day.
Karol is a wonderful photographer & made our day very special! We live oversees, which made a lot of the planning difficult, but not with our photos... Karol made things so easy for us & he was very professional, friendly and patient. Your pictures are one of the most important things you take from your wedding as you get to treasure and capture every moment. It's also a time where you want to spend time with your families and Karol understood this.

We were absolutely over the moon with the photos.
Karol photographed our wedding and we were absolutely over the moon with the photos. He really captured the day and the photos truly bring the wedding to life. He was fantastic to work with on the day, helping us feel at ease. The photos didn't interfere with our day and we found the shoot very relaxed and fun. In the run up to wedding communication was timely. I couldn't recommend Karol highly enough!

We absolutely love our photos.
We used Karol’s photography services for our wedding day and could not recommend him more. Prior the wedding communication was spot on and all our questions were answered, during the day we didn’t even feel like he was there! It took only a month to get our pictures back and we absolutely love them as well. Thank you again!!

Karol was absolutely amazing throughout our planning and on our day itself. He made us feel so comfortable on the day, captured all perfect moments and we now have the most perfect wedding photos to look back on. Communication throughout was amazing, always responded so quickly to all questions, and worked well with all our vendors on our day especially our videographers, highly recommend Karol.

We had the pleasure of working with Karol.
We had the pleasure of working with Karol for our wedding in Oran Mor, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice! From the initial consultation to the final delivery of our photos, the entire experience was seamless and enjoyable. The communication with Karol was great from the start. He was prompt in responding to our inquiries, thoroughly explained his packages, and made sure we understood everything before moving forward. On the day of the wedding, Karol was an absolute professional.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

One wedding honored the bride’s grandparents, who had been married for over 60 years. During the reception, they shared their own wedding footage, and the couple recreated a photo from their grandparents’ big day.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Candid, natural, modern, creative and fun.

What about your business are you most proud of?

I’d take pride in creating a comfortable, trusting relationship with every couple I work with. Celebrating love stories and learning what makes each couple unique would keep the work fresh and meaningful.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

It’s easy to get caught up in traditions, trends, or outside opinions, but your wedding should reflect your unique relationship and priorities. Early in the planning process, sit down together and discuss what elements are most important to you—whether it’s an amazing meal, a lively dance floor, intimate moments with family, or jaw-dropping photos.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Creative wedding favours that reflect the couple's passions, such as mini plants for gardening enthusiasts, or personalised spice blends if they love cooking.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Understand the couple and their vision, spark creativity and refine ideas, translate vision into actionable plans, make their day uniquely theirs, ease their stress.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

This is the romantic, softly-lit shot taken during the golden hour—just after sunrise or before sunset—when the lighting is warm, diffused, and magical. It captures the couple in an intimate moment, often with a stunning natural backdrop, like a glowing sky or softly lit scenery.

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

A shot of their dog carrying a sign saying, “My humans got married!” or running up the aisle. It’s heartwarming and fun.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Invest in clear or color-coordinated umbrellas for you, your wedding party, and guests. They’ll look amazing in photos and keep everyone dry. Consider cute rain boots for outdoor shots—they’re practical and can be a fun addition to your bridal look. For outdoor ceremonies or receptions, rent a sturdy, attractive tent. Add drapery or lights for a cozy vibe.

Describe how you got into photography.

I have always been passionate about photography, ever since my early years. After graduating, I landed a job at an exclusive wedding venue that hosted events for international clients as well as weddings. It was there that my passion for photography slowly began to transform into a career driven by love for the craft. Fast forward 12 years, and here I am, with more than 1,000 weddings under my belt.
