ABOUT ME

What photography means to me

Hi I’m Ewa and I’m a professional vacation, engagement , wedding photographer based in London.

Most of the time I can be seen running around London streets and parks capturing vacation memories visitors from abroad, secret proposals, lifestyle family sessions and engagements shoots. If I’m in Chelsea, Kensington, Islington or Westminster then I’m most likely capturing very special moments for a newly wedded couple at their wedding ceremony.

Whatever the occasion though, the essence of my work is to be fully present and genuinely ‘see’ my clients, how they sink in the joy of each moment, relax and reveal their true character and personality in front of the camera. I’m right there to capture it all in photographs for you.

More about my style

But there’s so much more leading up to this moment, that cannot be seen in the photos at first glance. Your photoshoot is all about you! Your experience visiting London, your excitement, personality and expectations. My job though is to help you prepare to your photoshoot, assist you choosing perfect outfits, find just the right poses and flattering angles and gently lead you into the frame of mind where you confidently dazzle the lenses! Your great mood and appearance are key in creating a stunning gallery of photographs and this is where my reward lies. In that final moment when you get to view your photos and you’re bursting with excitement knowing that these are yours to keep and cherish.

For every photoshoot booked, I put together a special package covering all the aspects including location, occasion, time of the day, your unique input & desires, and your preferences regarding posing, whether it’s gentle guidance for most candid shots or staged paparazzi style. Many clients are unaware that even those totally candid shots are carefully posed and often tailored to achieve that specific soft feel. Why? Because your photographer sees not only you but also your surrounding, your best angles and light that can either ruin everything or sculpture the whole effect into perfection!

For headshot and portraits, I bring a whole different arsenal of knowledge and experience to the shoot. The poses and expressions used in headshot photography make the world of a difference and you want them to be an absolutely perfect reflection of your core values! My background in sociology means that I have a particularly deep understanding of power & range of poses and expressions of a human body. I’m here not only to create flawless photographs for your company but to help you communicate all the crucial aspects and messages you want to convey through visual means.
Although I’ve been working as a portrait photographer in London for many years now, it still excites and captivates me. Every day and every shoot is different, bringing new experiences to discover and learn about photography – and that excites me even more!

To top it all I am blessed to live in one of the most vibrant cities on the planet. I absolutely adore all the nooks and crannies of London and I will never get enough of this place! If you’re planning a trip to London and capturing your experiences while visiting famous landmarks is on your to-do list, then I will be delighted to help!

TESTIMONIALS

Ewa was wonderful to work with. She did our secret proposal photos as well as our engagement shoot around London. She was very helpful and had great ideas for photo opportunities. I would highly recommend her service for a secret proposal – she made it easy to coordinate and everything was well planned out. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Ewa captured our secret proposal in Kyoto Garden. She did an amazing job in capturing our special moment and is very knowledgeable and professional. She provided us with the proof pictures the day after the photoshoot and very quickly edited the pictures we had selected. The pictures are amazing and we are very happy! We would 100% recommend choosing Ewa as your photographer!
Kiren
We loved working with Ewa for our proposal/ engagement shoot! She coordinated with my fiancé to meet at the top of Primrose Hill and discreetly shot our proposal moment. After the proposal, she introduced herself to both of us and guided us around Primrose Hill and St John’s Wood for an engagement photoshoot. She knew lots of great locations around the area and had nice suggestions for natural-looking poses. We are also dancers and brought a dog, so we were impressed with her ability to do dance photography and get nice shots of our dog, even when he didn’t always want to look at the camera! If we weren’t getting married abroad, we would also ask for Ewa for our wedding photoshoot. Would highly recommend!
Clarissa
Ewa exceeded all my expectations when she captured my surprise engagement photos at the Hill Garden in London. My fiance mentioned from the moment they started communicating until the final delivery of the photos, she made the entire experience truly exceptional. I was amazed by the quick turnaround time Ewa provided. She promptly edited and delivered the final photos, allowing us to relive the magical moment while it was still fresh in our hearts. Thank you, Ewa, for immortalizing our engagement in such a remarkable way.
Rosie
I booked Ewa Horaczko for three hours when I proposed to my girlfriend, and she captured some truly once-in-a-lifetime moments for my girlfriend and me.

We have some incredible snaps of when I proposed, a killer shot capturing the look on my girlfriend’s face when she turned up at her surprise engagement party, and also a shot of the completely impromptu moment when I asked my brother and best friend to be my best men at my wedding.

In addition to the surprise photographs, which are incredible, Ewa also handled the more deliberate photoshoot brilliantly, with great suggestions for settings, poses etc. I would 100% recommend Ewa for surprise photography and for pretty much anything else you need too.
David
We want to say thank you to Ewa for being our outstanding photographer for our engagement photos. She helped finalize the details of the secret proposal shoot to make the moment happen naturally. The session went by so fast with gorgeous pictures being taken in the allotted time. She was very patient and confident during the emotional after-shock of the proposal, posing us if we didn’t know what to do and guiding us throughout the session. She either knew the general layout of the museum or was inspired by the objects because we had interesting backgrounds or images with unique art. Exactly mine and my partner’s type of style. It was so easy going with the loveliest pictures at the end. I’m so very happy these are the pictures we have to carry with us for this special moment!

I wasn’t sure how to select the right photographer to do my surprise proposal in London. EWA Horaczko Photography not only provided me excellent guidance on locations for the surprise session, but also answered any questions I may have and in a timely fashion. Working with her has been such a pain free experience and the photos are absolutely amazing. I was given creative direction, suggestions for lighting, the best poses; everything the average clueless guy needs. Best of all, we received our final shots days after the session and were able to share with friends and family before we even left for home.

FAQ

Absolutely! London has numerous romantic spots, from amazing spot at Kyoto Garden to the incredible views of Tower Bridge. Let me know the vibe you’re aiming for, and I’ll happily suggest a few perfect spots.

I pride myself on being discreet and blending into the surroundings during a proposal shoot. I aim to capture the genuine surprise and emotion without giving away the moment beforehand.

Typically, we focus on one main walking distance location with multiple spots.

No worries! My goal is to make you feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera. I’ll provide guidance on poses and actions, ensuring the images reflect genuine emotions and moments.

 In many cultures, rain on your wedding day is considered lucky. As your photographer, I always come prepared with an umbrella and I actually love taking photos in light rain or overcast weather, as it can create beautiful and romantic images. However, if you prefer not to expose yourselves to the rain, please let me know at least few days before so we can reschedule the photo session or find an alternative location that works for you.
