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!
