Linda & Santosh
Married September 26th, 2009
"I just wanted to thank your website for being a wonderful wedding photography resource. We were organizing our wedding reception all the way from Canada in Latvia, and out of hundreds of photographers out there, we needed to choose...more " one who can portray us and our day in excuisite way. I do not like simple generic photography for such an occasion. I wanted it to be exactly the way I have imagined- alive, creative, unusual, beautiful. And it is very hard to actually select a photographer over distance. In fact, we had photographer prebooked, but one month before the wedding, we had stumbled across the pictures of Janis Ratnieks. The more I was looking at his pictures, the more I got convinced that this is the photographer we need. Also seeing that he is a winner of numerous prestigious competitions, convinced us to cancel the first photographer and to get in touch with Janis. Booking him was the best wedding decision I made. The images he shot for our wedding, and all the retouching done by his wife, are fantastic! Timeless and creative- bringing back the feelings of the day all over again. Janis was professional, easy to work with , hardworking , unintrusive person who managed to capture our wedding day perfectly. Santosh and I, wish Janis and his wife, the best of luck in their future careers and encouraging them to keep creating this beautiful form of art. After all, they are the ones which will bring us back to that day even after 20-30 years. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts! " show less
