Ian... WOW! These images are incredible, they capture everything about the day so perfectly. Thank you for doing such a great job! We've sat and looked at the slideshow and felt all the emotions come flooding back, reliving the moments, and enjoying seeing new perspectives of the day that we missed but were captured by you!

Wow, thank you, you've made two people very happy!
What can we say! Wow, thank you, you've made two people very happy. Thank you for capturing the joy of our wedding day so perfectly and for telling the story of our day so thoughtfully. I have never liked having my photo taken and even more so, seeing photos of myself, so it's quite a special moment to see so many photos that you can't wait to show others!

Please know we love the photos!
Thanks for the email and the photos. We love them. We were so shocked with some of them as we hadn't even realised you were close to take the photo which was amazing and just what we wanted. We are so happy you were part of our special day. I'll message tomorrow but please know we love the photos.

Well Ian, you're a bloody genius! We absolutely love the photos, every single one. The way you catch a moment and a feeling is extraordinary; you tell so many stories in a single shot. You were an amazing part of the day, and your shots could not be a better documentation of it. Thank you so much and merry Christmas!

I am grateful for your hard work
Thank you so much for these beautiful photos - each time I look at them, I discover new details and think them even more beautiful than before. I am finding them more and more moving and feel that they transport me back into the lightness and happiness of the day. I am grateful for your hard work on the day & the care and attention you’ve given them to put them together.

We absolutely LOVE them!
Ian, thank you so much, we absolutely LOVE them - there certainly was a lot of laughter and a lot of tears and you've captured it beautifully! I have found working today very difficult, as it's much more fun to look at the pictures! We look forward to decorating our new house with your work!

The experience was superb
From start top finish the experience was superb. From our first virtual meeting to recieving our photos and photobook, Ian and Caroline were a joy to work with. Nothing was ever too much trouble, they even reccommended some other suppliers who were also excellent. The qulaity of the stills was better than we could have hoped for. The way they approached the day made everything just so easy. They felt more like guests that suppliers come the end of the day. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them

Both Ian and Caroline are incredible. They are amazing at what they do, so kind and caring and made the wedding process so much fun. The pictures are beautiful and capture our day perfectly. The wedding album is also proudly on display at our house, it is so well made. We are so thankful to them. Highly recommend.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

How could I choose one wedding over so many great ones? They all are brilliant for different reasons. It's an honour to document a couple's special day.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Unobtrusive. Professional. Natural. Emotive. Timeless.

What about your business are you most proud of?

My customer service and the response I get from my couples when they see their images for the first time.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Don't stress it, enjoy the day and just go with the flow.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

I see it at every wedding. The look of pride on a parent's face and that magical moment when the bride and groom's eyes meet as she walks down the aisle towards him. Simply amazing.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

We meet. We hit it off. They book. They marry. I attend and narrate their wedding day. I deliver great customer service (is that enough?).

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

One where they aren't camera aware but are showing the true love they have for each other. That's priceless.

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

I don't pose or contrive images. They are all real moments (apart from the group shots and very lightly directed bride/groom portraits.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

An umbrella, a pair of wellies and the mindset that rain will not spoil your day - (trust me, it won't).

Describe how you got into photography.

A very boring answer, just like everyone else I suppose. My dad was a photographer, he bought me a camera, we had a darkroom at home. That's it (told you it was boring).
