A small studio in Riga shooting weddings, portraits and brand work that hold up long after the algorithm has moved on.
We are two photographers and a producer working out of a quiet studio on Brivibas iela, shooting about forty projects a year.
Kadra was founded in 2014 around a simple belief: photography should feel like the people in it, not like the trends around them. We do not chase filters. We shoot slowly, edit carefully, and deliver galleries you will still want to look at in fifteen years.
Most of our work comes from couples, families, and brand teams across Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. A growing share travels to us from further out, drawn by the same thing - a portrait that is recognisably yours.
The process is the same for every client, whether we are shooting a wedding or a brand campaign. You always know what is happening and what is next.
We start with a 30-minute call - no charge, no pressure - to see whether we are the right fit and to understand what you are after.
You receive a written brief covering the look, the location, the timeline and the cost. Nothing moves forward until you have signed off.
We allow twice the time most studios quote. Slow work produces better frames, and it lets you actually enjoy being in front of the lens.
Edited gallery in 14 days for portraits, 30 days for weddings. High-resolution files, a private online gallery, and print-ready copies.
Three fixed packages cover most projects. Anything custom - destination weddings, multi-day shoots, full rebrand libraries - is quoted separately after the call.
"Alise made the whole day feel easy. We forgot she was there until we saw the gallery and realised she had captured everything that mattered."
"The brand library Kadra shot for us has become the spine of our entire visual identity. It still looks current two years later."
"I had never liked photos of myself before. After the session I kept the gallery open on my phone for weeks. It is the only set I have ever wanted to share."
Send a few sentences about the project, the date and the people involved. We respond within one working day with availability, a quote and a suggested time for a call.
The studio is in central Riga, a short walk from the Brivibas iela stop. We keep the door closed between sessions, so do ring ahead.
