Welcome
We’re Janis and Inese, and we’re a couple who specializes in wedding photography. We’ve been traveling the length and breadth of Europe and beyond since 2009. We’ve eventually arrived in London that we now proudly call home. We began our photography career by photographing fashion, advertising, and events. But it was when we began photographing weddings and elopements that we had found our true passion. Meeting other people from around the world and helping them in planning and organizing their ideal wedding is our absolute dream job.
WHY WORK WITH US
Janis Ratnieks is the KING of wedding photography.
We are extremely pleased with the pictures he took at our wedding, they exceeded all our hopes and expectations. Janis has a rare gift of capturing the right moment and bringing out everything that is beautiful and moving around him. Through his pictures, you can almost feel the emotions of the people he captures.
Janis is also very friendly, full of energy and professional. It was a true pleasure having him by our side during the wedding.
Well done, Janis!
Catherine & Christophe
Paris, France
From the moment we announced our engagement, we were determined to find a photographer who could really capture the essence of our big day. The requirements were this: nothing ‘typical’, no uncomfortable poses, no annoying direction, emotions galore, a real reflection of what everyone was feeling THAT day. Janis did it all. He was recommended to us by an Australian photographer who described him as a ‘genius’. That is as perfect a description as any. It is only after seeing the magnificent results that we realised he was in the perfect position for every shot. He is a true professional, an accomplished artist who is at the top of his field. We never expected to be pouring over images months and months after the wedding day, yet here we are. Never underestimate how important your wedding photos are: book Janis Ratnieks, if you can.
Dear Janis & Inese,
We received our pictures and they look amazing. Everyone has been very happy with them and commented on both how well you captured the day and how beautiful the images are. We are so pleased we chose you for the photography. You were great to work with and really captured all the light and texture that we hoped for…plus all the retouching has even made us look photogenic! We will be sure to recommend you to friends.
Let us know if you need any references for the future.
We look forward to following your progress on the blog and more adventures abroad.
Best wishes
I can’t put into words how much Janis was an asset to our day. His photos are absolutely stunning and we were so lucky to get him. His photos made me tear up and mean that we will forever have memories of our special day that are perfect.
I could go on and on about how wonderful Janis Ratnieks photography is. First of all, Janis and his wife Inese are so nice and so easy to work with. Janis truly has an eye for how to really capture the moment and Inese does the most beautiful job with color and the retouching. My new husband and I were absolutely blown away by our "sneak peek" of wedding photos. They were so beyond beautiful and will serve as the most amazing way to look back on our special day. We feel so fortunate to have had Janis as our photographer!!!
Janis….they’re BEAUTIFUL!??
Oh my goodness this makes me so happy!
Thank you so much for our beautiful photos. I’m so happy we were able to have you for our day! These are lovely…absolutely lovely (they’re making us cry again?? oh boy)
Thank you so much Janis!
We fly back to LA tomorrow morning, and land on Saturday. I look forward to seeing the full set in 8 weeks! Xoxoxo

AS SEEN IN
LONDON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
If you’d like to book a wedding photographer in London or anywhere else in the world, you should know that I’m the guy for you. As a resident of this fantastic city, I’m happy to recommend venues and photo locations for your wedding. With lots of restrictions for professional photographers, local knowledge in this city is mandatory.
Here at Janis Ratnieks photography, I’ve been photographing weddings in all UK for the past 17 years covering weddings in London, Edinburgh, Leeds, Oxford, Cambridge, Surrey, Devon, Brighton, Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, Somerset, Hampshire, West Sussex, Herts, Essex Norfolk, Nottinghamshire and Isle of Man.
I absolutely love photographing weddings in England, Wales, and Scotland, because of its constantly changing weather. You can easily get three different moods of your wedding per day. Foggy in the morning, misty during the day, and sunny in the afternoon, like the whole season of British TV mini-series that I enjoy so much.
I have a special place in my heart for weddings in the Scottish Highlands. I also provide adventure elopement photoshoots, so if you decide to ditch crowds and elope in the Isle of Skye, please get in touch.
