Beautiful memories that stand the test of time
Relaxed documentary storytelling with creative portraits when the moment is right.
I specialise in relaxed, natural wedding photography that captures the true character of your celebration, without the fuss of endless posing.
Most of the day is simply allowed to unfold naturally, giving me the freedom to document the genuine moments, emotions and interactions that make your wedding uniquely yours.
When the moment is right, I’ll step in with a little direction to create something more distinctive — perhaps making use of beautiful light, a dramatic sunset or creative lighting to give you a few unforgettable portraits alongside the natural story of your day.
Exactly the natural photos we wanted
Ian captured some beautiful photos from our wedding day which we will cherish forever. He understood our brief perfectly as we wanted natural shots which he completely delivered on.

We’ve had so many compliments on the few photos that we’ve shared with friends and family so far! We would definitely recommend Ian if you’re looking for a wedding photographer.

we can’t thank you enough
​
You are an extremely professional photographer, and not only that, you helped me throughout the day.
Now to the amazing photos. I can’t believe how fantastic the photos you took are, and the memories that flood back of our beautiful day.
All of our guests have nothing but amazing things to say about you, and some said they didn’t even know you were there #ninja

From the get go of contacting Ian to query about wedding photography
​
He was so informative, giving us so much information that we didn’t even think we needed to consider.
Â
On our wedding day, Ian was super and helped out with things that you wouldn’t even imagine a photographer would do. When my shoes broke, he was hands-on to help fix them! Made us all feel at ease on the day and was great at getting some memorable photos throughout our day, natural ones and staged ones.

Wedding Photography FAQs
What is relaxed, natural photography?
It's all about storytelling. I capture the day as it happens, focusing on real moments without forcing poses, so you can just enjoy your celebration.
Do you offer engagement sessions?
Yes! Engagement sessions are a great way to build confidence and get used to being in front of the lens before the big day.
How long does it take to see our photos?
Typically, a preview gallery is ready within 48 hours, with the full hand-edited story delivered within 2-6 weeks.
Do you take family group photographs?
Absolutely. Although my style is relaxed and documentary-led, family group photographs are still an important part of a wedding day. We’ll agree the key groups beforehand so I can organise them efficiently, without keeping you away from your guests for too long.
Do you still take couple portraits?
Definitely. I’ll give you some gentle direction when needed, but nothing stiff or uncomfortable. We’ll usually take a little time together during the day for relaxed portraits, and if beautiful light, a dramatic sunset or another creative opportunity appears, I may suggest heading out for a few extra photographs.
