About
Wedding Photographer in London — Central, West, East & South
I’m a London wedding photographer with over 15 years behind the camera. My style mixes documentary storytelling with a touch of editorial fine art — real, emotional moments captured beautifully, without the awkward posing.
I’ve photographed everything from runaway veils and candlelit vows to wild dance floors and first dances that turned into karaoke showdowns — and I love every second of it. I also shoot on film when it fits the story — nothing beats that timeless, organic feel and a little touch of magic in every frame.
People describe me as calm, friendly and unobtrusive — probably because I genuinely love what I do and I’ve perfected the art of blending in while catching every big and tiny moment. If that sounds like your vibe, let’s make something unforgettable together.
- Coverage across Central, West, East & South London
- Documentary feel with editorial polish

Different Types of London Weddings
London holds space for every kind of love story — from quiet vows in a registry room to candlelit hotel receptions, vibrant multicultural celebrations, and heartfelt elopements that feel entirely your own. My approach adapts to the rhythm of your day, creating photographs that are elegant, authentic, and unmistakably London.
Registry Office Weddings
Intimate, heartfelt ceremonies with iconic London charm. After the vows, we wander into nearby cobbled mews or along the river for relaxed portraits that feel spontaneous and cinematic. For couples searching for a registry wedding photographer London, I love the rhythm and simplicity of these days. Favourite location: Chelsea Register Office .
Luxury Hotel Weddings
Iconic architecture, timeless interiors, and soft window light — perfect for editorial portraits and refined documentary storytelling. Recent favourites include Claridge’s, The Dorchester, Royal Automobile Club, Rosewood London, and Mandarin Oriental. If you’re looking for a luxury London wedding photographer, these settings deliver timeless imagery all year round.
Multicultural Weddings
From vibrant baraats and sangeets to chuppah ceremonies and elegant Nigerian receptions — I understand the pace, emotion, and tradition that define multicultural weddings. I plan around key rituals, coordinate respectfully with your planner and clergy, and photograph every moment with empathy and cinematic detail. For couples seeking a multicultural wedding photographer London, your story will be captured with depth and joy.
Elopements & Intimate Celebrations
Sometimes, less truly is more — a handful of guests, heartfelt vows, and an evening walk through the city. Together we’ll design a simple route with the best light: town hall steps, hidden mews, maybe Southbank at sunset. Coverage stays light, candid, and unposed — the photographs become as personal as the day itself.

I don't know what I expected prior to looking at our wedding photos, but Janis' work was exceptional. The photos were gorgeous. He was there ready with his camera for every important moment and the photos are cute, candid and so un-cringe. Janis helped made two very un-photogenic people feel comfortable and look great. He did everything I wanted and more! Couldn't recommend him enough!Posted on Gillian CarlingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Janis photographed our 3-day wedding in France, and I highly recommend him. Janis was a great photographer and lots of fun to work with. Our photographs were stunning and delivered quickly after the event. He was especially great at taking action shots and bringing life into our photoshoots. We'll always treasure these special memories photographed by Janis.Posted on Natalie BakerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn't recommend Janis enough.

We met Janis at Château Challain last week, it was an honour and a pleasure to have done so. He was professional, friendly, fun and we got on with him wonderfully whilst working together at the wedding of Alex and Claire. Janis is a world class photographer who has a real passion for his work which shines through in his photography. He captured so many stunning shots of the wedding guests, the beautiful couple and the incredible venue. We hope our paths cross again one day.Posted on Claire CloughTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Janis photographed our wedding last weekend and he was truly incredible. Janis gifted his time completely free of charge to a competition open to key workers during COVID and stayed true to his word. He photographed a 3 day event and was so warm and friendly we were put at ease instantly despite not being the most natural of people in front of the camera. Today we received a preview of some of our photos and we are completely blown away. They are absolutely stunning and tell the story of the day brilliantly from the laughter to the tears. I would recommend Janis to anyone planning any event! Thank you so, so much!Posted on KellyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The most incredible photographer! We have the most amazing photographs of our wedding day and the whole experience was effortless, it was like he had known us for years the way he captured our photos and the venue itself.We couldn’t be more grateful and over the moon! The detail in our photos is simply beautiful. If you’re looking for a photographer then look no further, can’t recommend him enough! Huge thanks, The Dhadas xPosted on Manny DhadaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best photographer you could ask for. Our photographs came out better than we'd ever hoped for. He was so quietly brilliant on the day, I never really noticed where he was at any one point in time, however, when we saw our photos there wasn't a moment he'd missed. He was polite, welcoming and a joy to have at our wedding. We'd actually booked Janis back in 2018 for our original wedding date in 2020. Of course, we all know what happened, but even with the 2 year delay it wasn't a problem for Janis. He reassured us straight away after each rescheduling and we're so happy to have had the privilege of Janis photographing our wedding day.Load more
