Hi Janet,
We hope this email finds you both well. We wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude for the incredible work you did as our wedding photographers. Your dedication and talent truly went above and beyond. The photos you captured are nothing short of amazing; they have beautifully preserved the memories of our special day. Every moment, emotion, and detail were skillfully documented, allowing us to relive those cherished moments over and over again.
Thank you so much,

Hi Janet,
Oh these are absolutely fabulous you have both done an amazing job! We will cherish these for the rest of our lives, you made such a good decision to go down to the prom/station those photos are incredible and it gave us such a beautiful moment during the day to have a moment without all of our guests there. You truly helped make the day so special!
Thank you and all the best,
Mr & Mrs Halstead
Sarah and James
Excellent wedding photographer
We used Janet Ridley Photography for our wedding photos and could not be more delighted with them!
They are so natural and have captured the day beautifully but it was not at all intrusive and our day was not “interrupted” for photos – so we were able to focus on spending time with our guests.
Janet was lovely, friendly and professional and did exactly as we wanted.
Thank you so much!
Victoria and Chris
Dear Janet,
Sorry, this email has taken far too long to be sent! We didn’t realize there would still be so many things to sort out after the wedding.
Christopher and I wanted to pass on our heartfelt thanks for your professional and friendly service on our wedding day.
For two people who do not enjoy being the center of attention and certainly don’t like our photos being taken we thought you would have a huge task ahead of you. I don’t know how you did it but I immediately felt at ease and you have a lovely way of making everything seem so effortless and seamless. You understood and captured the formal group shots that we wanted but more importantly, you captured perfectly the happy relaxed atmosphere we wanted on the day. This shows so much in the photographs you took.
You were so efficient on the day, it was like having another friend there to share the day with us. Our family and friends have commented to us about how professional yet friendly you were and how you made them all feel at ease.
We are both so pleased with the photographs, the black and white shots capture perfectly the dramatic backdrop of Windermere.
The shots in Broadoaks really show off the stunning music room and surroundings.
Thank you so much, I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone.
We will enjoy looking back at the photos for years to come.
Love, Victoria and Chris

“Janet, Janet Janet…
What can we say…we have been waiting until now to give you our final write up, now we have received our SPECTACULAR wedding album. Firstly, we would like to thank you for being so brilliant with us on our special day. We did not at all feel like we were paying someone just to do their job and snap a few shots. We felt like you were part of our guests, and we could tell you were enjoying every minute as we also were. We had such good fun capturing our amazing photos! We were having that much fun, we didn’t even realize how much it was actually raining! (We can see now from watching the DVD back!)
Each and every photo holds a special memory. Each turning of a page in our album brings back the amazing day we had. We just can not thank you enough! We look forward to having you capture lots of future family events for us. (Yes, we would have our events in the Lakes or close, just to enable you to shoot them!).
Lots of love, best wishes, and thanks.
Kim & Chris Pennington (AKA Snow White and Prince Charming) xx
Michelle and Steve
Janet,
What can we say! Your pictures are amazing! And the photo album – wow! It is truly perfect! I knew from the moment you did my brother’s wedding I had to have you for mine! It’s just like having a good friend with you all day, having you by my side. It was truly a pleasure to have you celebrating with us and all our family and friends. It was a perfect day, and your images capture it all perfectly, allowing us to savor the memories for years to come. I most definitely would recommend you to anyone without a doubt, as your just lovely to be around and manage to get all the pictures needed to create wonderful memorabilia of our special day.
Thanks again for everything and we hope to see you again soon.
Love,
Michelle and Steve.
David & Claire
Hi Janet,
Just to let you know the disc arrived safely and we sat down on Sunday with a bottle of champagne for our first viewing of them.
We are delighted with the collection and really enjoyed seeing them for the first time. We really feel like they capture the essence of the venue as well as the atmosphere of the occasion. I really love the numerous great ‘natural’ shots taken throughout the day, they really compliment the formal ones so well.
Let me know if you would like any reviews placed anywhere or such like, as we’d be more than happy to promote your work and recommend you to friends or family. Thanks again for your understanding and work ethic during the busyness of the day (both of you), and of course, for the wonderful collection of memories.
Best regards,
David & Claire

You’ve just captured the day perfectly and thanks to you we now have lots of amazing memories that we will be able to treasure forever.

Amanda and Wayne
Hi Janet
Having just received the most amazing album from you, only 7 weeks after the wedding, just wanted to say how pleased myself and Wayne are with the photos! For two people who really don’t like having their photo’s taken you made us feel so relaxed and have managed to capture our day in a great mix of informal and group photo’s. It was a pleasure to have you there as part of our special day, in such an unobtrusive way. The photos themselves are fantastic and your patience as we selected and edited for our album was really appreciated.
We are delighted with the album – it far surpassed what we thought it would be like – the colours, design, make it a fantastic memory of our very special day. We would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone wanting a wedding photographer!
Thanks,
Amanda and Wayne
Joanne and Robin
Hi Janet,
We received our album on Saturday and we are delighted with it, it looks fantastic.
Thank you so much for taking the most amazing photographs of our wedding, we couldn’t have asked for a more professional, talented and friendly photographer.
You really managed to capture the relaxed and informal atmosphere and you did this without us hardly even knowing you were there. Everyone who has seen the photos thinks they are superb, we especially love the ones you took with the moody sky at dusk.
Robin and I are so pleased to have such a fantastic reminder of our special day.
We will definitely be recommending you to anyone looking for a photographer.
Thank you again.
Best Wishes,
Ruth and Fraser

Ruth
To Janet,
“Needing an updated family photograph to please Grandma I wanted something informal and relaxed but special, but thought the chances of persuading my camera shy menfolk and our daft dog to behave in a studio were minuscule. Word of mouth took me to Janet who encouraged my idea of an outdoor portrait on a favourite walk. It was just like having a friend tag along and the results were lovely, so much so that I have ordered some for ourselves too. I can’t recommend Janet highly enough – she put everyone at ease and could not have been more helpful afterward, no request was too much trouble. Don’t be fooled by the very reasonable prices either as I can assure you all is five-star quality. Thank you, Janet, we’ll be back.”

Went to London last weekend and saw Kim’s wedding photograph “album” (is that the correct word?).
Truly truly stunning. A real work of art. Roll over Cartier-Bresson. Helmut N – just give up now !
Seriously I was knocked out by it. Roz will be going to Kim’s in the next few weeks and she will also see it.
Tonight, I saw the selected pictures (from the CD) for the first time. They too are brillient, conveying a real sense of the spirit of the wedding.
So Janet Ridley, well done again and thanks once again.
Our best regards
Paul and Roz

Just to a massive thank you for everything you did for our wedding at Lodore Falls. You were fantastic in the lead-up to the wedding answering all my questions. On the day you were so efficient and as someone who dislikes having my photo taken you made it so easy and comfortable. The photos were waiting for us when we got back from our honeymoon and they are all beautiful it was hard to choose 90!
Thank you once again,
