We met photographing a wedding together and decided to combine our strengths. Jay is a good driver and Janina is a patient passenger so together we will go anywhere for our couples. Destination wedding photography has taken us to stunning weddings through Yorkshire , Cotswolds, Lake District across the rest of UK, Scottish Highlands, Italy, Spain & Poland. We love having good laugh and we don’t take ourselves too seriously. Life is too short! With us you are investing in your our dedicated presence throughout your wedding day. We don’t simply reserve dates to hire any photographer to cover our weddings, What you receive is our undivided attention and creativity fully devoted to capturing your wedding uniquely.

We understand that not everyone feels comfortable in front of the camera, and that’s okay—we’ve been there too! Even our only joint picture is a casual selfie from Italy.
