We’re Janina & Jawad at Reportage Studios – a documentary wedding photography duo capturing the connections, the chaos, the joy, and everything in between. Working all across the UK and beyond, we specialise in authentic, colourful, honest, unscripted, natural photography. No cheese, no awkward posing. Just real people, real stories, real connections and real good times. Whether you’re having a back garden knees-up, a multi-day party, or a ceremony in a family church, we’ll blend in, laugh along, and quietly catch all the magic. We love to freeze a moment in time to keep that memory alive.

Hey there!
I’m Janina – photographer, storyteller, theatre geek, observer and big foodie. Lover of dogs, dancing, outdoor, music and the kind of weddings where your cheeks hurt from laughing. Long drives and audiobooks are my best friends.
Ideal for...
Couples who want to enjoy their day fully with theur guest without being pulled away for endless photos. People who value connection, creativity, and candid memories over Pinterest-perfect poses. Our clients care more about the vibe than looking perfect.They want the photos to feel real, not staged, and they trust us to capture it all, big and small.
What makes us unique
At Reportage Studios, we don’t just take photos — we tell stories. Real authentic ones. The kind that make you laugh-snort, tear up a little, and remember exactly how it all felt.
We’re not into staged moments or running your day like a photoshoot. Our style is natural, expressive, and built on trust. We blend in with your guests, pay attention to what matters to you, and capture the moments you didn’t even see happening. The big loud ones and the tiny quiet ones.
You’ll rarely find us shouting directions — we’re too busy catching your gran mid-cackle, your best friend’s dodgy dance moves, or that one-second glance between you and your partner when you think no one’s looking. We’re here for the chaos, the beauty, and all the honest in-between.
We’ve worked with theatre-makers, musicians, and artists — people who value creativity and connection. Most of our weddings are a bit different: a mix of cultures, multiple days, or in quirky venues like warehouses, farms, or even a canal boat.
We’re proud of the work we’ve done, and even prouder when couples say things like “we forgot you were even there!” That’s the goal — to be present without being intrusive, and to create photographs that feel like memories, not just images.
Testimonials
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. You were everywhere without being seen, caught so many brilliant moments, and made us feel completely at ease all day. Thank you for everything.
