Award WinningDocumentary and Reportage Wedding Photographer
UK and Destination Documentary Wedding Photographer
Hi, I am Janina, I am a multi award winning documentary and reportage wedding photographer. I’m the photographer people come to when they prefer to spend their wedding having best times of their lives rather than spending hours posing for pictures. I like images that tell stories, that capture genuine moments & emotions
I live on the beautiful coast of Lytham St Anne’s, Lancashire. Most of the time I photograph happy couples in Cheshire, Lake District, Yorkshire, Cotswolds, Shropshire, Devon, Surrey, Cambridge, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Lancashire, Staffordshire, Scotland, Italy, France, Spain, South America… pretty much everywhere! I absolutely love travelling to new places so will happily photograph your wedding anywhere in the world.
Award Winning Documentary and Reportage Wedding Photography
Photography has been my passion for many years and now I am able to do it for a living! How lucky am I! In last two years I have won ‘Maters of Wedding Photography UK & IR’, and ‘Ninedots’ awards. Also after winning many awards with Wedding Photojournalist Association I have been named in TOP 100 international photographers by them. To add to this I am also named in Best 100 UK wedding photographers by SLR lounge. and TOP 50 UK photographers by GoHen magazine.
I want to capture each wedding to not only show how it looked but how it felt to be there. Photographs are so much more than just a ‘pictures’. They are frozen in time moments.
I enjoy capturing the love, the fun, the crazy stuff that happens at the weddings surrounded by your favourite people. Kisses, belly laughs and tears! So in the future, when looking at photos you can step back in time and feel all the excitement, love and happiness from the day again. I want every image to feel authentically yours. As a reportage and documentary wedding photographer my aim is to capture all the important moments, unposed. Weddings are extremely personal and my job is to create a beautiful story from it that is unique to you.

Photography is a story I fail to put into words

“Janina is so much more than a photographer! Her photos are excellent but the support she provided on the day was above and beyond the call! Thank you for being a important part of our big day x”
Jaqueline & John
"I dont even know where to start. we feel so incredibly lucky to have found Janina and have her photograph ourday. The documentary style of photography was exactly what we wanted and she certainly lived up to her promise of photos that encapsulate all the 'in the moment' emotion rather than your typical staged wedding photographs. She caught all the laughter and tears of our guests, as well as the best moments of the rodeo bull and 'that moment your toddler pulls a pint of lager over during the speeches'And best of all she did it all whilst being the most wonderful human, she made us feel so relaxed, kept us laughing and had all our guest say how it felt like having another friend at the wedding."
Leah & Josh

"Words can not begin to describe how happy we are with our wedding photosJanina and her second shooter Jawad were the perfect team and a pleasure to have at our wedding.No posing, nothing fake, they were able to capture our day as it happened and they did it brilliantly.Obviously I love the pictures of me and my hubby, where we are looking top notch (for once) but the ones where we are pulling our weird silly faces and my girlfriends are fighting over the wedding bouquet are priceless.We really can not thank Janina enough and she has become a friend in the process .If you need a wedding photographer then look no further, you have found the best. Now book her quick, you will not be disappointed"

“I can't even find the words to describe or thank Janina for all of her hard work on and prior to our wedding day. She was amazing from the minute she walked into the salon right up until the end of the night. We could not have asked for anything more and I can honestly say looking at the pictures that she took I have relived my wedding day. I would recommend her to anyone not only a fantastic photographer but she was also a bloody amazing guest. We can't thank you enough!!“
