Gatis Ločmelis
Wedding Photographer

I’m an aesthete. Photography has always been a great way to express myself. But the step to professional career came a bit unexpected. Back in 2007 i was asked to second-shoot a wedding. I had never photographed a wedding before, so naturally – I was nervous. But as the day went by I caught myself thinking that it’d be fantastic if I did that again next week. I absolutely fell in love with the idea and – well – here I am now.
I was living in London for a while. Later moved to Isle of Man (a very beautiful place BTW), but at the moment I’m based in Latvia. But I love to travel, so I can’t be sure where my passion for photography drags me next. The whole world is my playground i guess.
I’ve been photographing weddings since 2007. I am self-taught. I’ve always considered visual arts to be more of a ‘feeling’ than a ‘set of rules’, where one needs to have a lot of knowledge to succeed. If you see the world as a beautiful place, then I’m sure it will translate to photos as well.
I just tend to do whatever I think will make up a great shot. Then edit later. And voila.
Photos in high-end fashion magazines are my main inspiration. I like beautifully lit and edited images.
