“I believe that your experience matters!”

Award-winning London Wedding Photographer

I wholeheartedly believe that you deserve the very best experience, that will be as fun, creative and adventurous as your love story. I built my studio on strong values of striving to be world-class, from the mentors I take on, to the kit I invest in – all because I value you as my client, and I want to deliver the excellence I expect from myself, for you. I believe that the traditional rinse-and-repeat approach simply isn’t good enough for my clients. Just delivering traditional photos that everyone else has doesn’t cut it and more importantly, has no soul. Your love is one of a kind, every couple is unique, so why shouldn’t you be treated as such! 

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your entire life. It is special, just like your love! It deserves to be captured differently and valued. It deserves to be celebrated time and time again. Your photos to be printed and framed or published in an album to be looked at time and time again, to take you back to those beautiful emotions of pure uncontrollable love and affection. That is what love is! That is why your love story is so special! Investing in your love story, your new family story, should be a valuable heirloom to pass on to future generations. It has greater value than any other purchase you will make in decades, it is something which will live on forever. Your wedding is a milestone, when you begin a new and exciting life chapter together, and you shouldn’t cut corners having it documented.
Treat yourself to an experience! Commit to valuing your love story as much as I do! Because at the end of the day, photos live on endlessly into time, and as they say a photo can tell a thousand stories. Stories about your connection. Stories about love. Let us share that with the world!

 

On this page I share with you my process in a simple and transparent way, as well as cover my unique style and approach to photography.

Client Experience Explained

The Process

Step 1: We meet & get to know eachothers

Let’s get to know each other!
This is where I’ll learn more about your story, understand your wants and values, and answer any initial questions or concerns you may have. If we feel we could be a great match working together, then we will then cross-check diaries and get provisional dates booked in.

Step 2: We say yes to working together

If we’re a perfect fit, we’ll make it official and toast to the start of an amazing journey together. 50% deposit is due upon signing to lock the date in, and the remaining balance is due 30 days prior to your wedding day. 

Step 3: I do my research & prepare

An in depth questionnaire, awesome vendor recommendations of top professionals who share my level of dedication to excellence for your big day, insightful planning tips and resources to help you make the best decisions as you prepare for your wedding, and a timeline of consultations, etc. These help ensure you’re prepared for your big day and allow us to make this a day you will never forget! 

Step 4: Wedding Day

Your special day is here! The long wait is over and now your only job is to have fun and enjoy the moment. Take it all in! We’ll capture the action and take care of the rest. 

Step 5: We celebrate

Receive your fully signature edited wedding photos within 8-10 weeks. For local clients, enjoy a gallery reveal party where you’ll experience your gallery at your very own private viewing, with a 4k projector and your favourite beverages to hand. This can either be hosted at ours or you can join me in the studio. Depending on the package you select, you will also receive a beautiful hand-crafted album to preserve your love story in forever. An investment and legacy for your family! There will also be options for exceptional quality hand build-framed to be added.

Step 6: Community for life

As a thank you for your faith and trust in my service, you will be exclusively invited into my past clients group, where you will be offered exclusive heavily discounted services and products you may wish to benefit from as your love story continues. These include family portrait sessions, baby photos, pet photos, family anniversary sessions, family life documentary sessions, professional portraits, editorial lifestyle shoots in the studio or on location, and corporate and event photography services. All offers will be bespoke and unique to your requirements, and all will be hugely discounted compared to those I have not loved working with yet. My thank you to you for being an amazing client!

On a very wet and windy day Ian went above and beyond to find some great locations local to us and to capture some wonderful moments in a pre-ceremony couple shoot with us and dog. The added hot cuppa also helped warm us up after!

My approach

There’s a very good reason why all of my past clients speak so highly of me, because I always go the extra mile to deliver the level of excellence I demand of my service. It simply isn’t enough to just be your wedding photographer, I am much more than that. I am your guide and support all the way up to and beyond your wedding day. From the first time we meet, I strive to be considered a long-lost friend rather than “the photographer” you hired. After all, Weddings are much more than transactional, they are about connection!
My process involves us getting to know each other on a more personal level, so I can listen to your unique story, and understand your unique needs, wants and values.
Having attended 30+ weddings in recent years, I know just how much of your time, energy, heart and soul goes into planning your wedding, and I certainly know how stressful it can be! But no need to stress, you have me and my experience to guide you and advise you along the journey! If I take you on as a client, you can totally tick ‘quality wedding photographer’ off your to do list with ease. Knowing that with my experience and skill, your wedding photos will perfectly tell the story of your day and of your deep love for one another. Then you can start to relax and prepare to have fun. Your wedding day will be full of so many emotions and you can stay present in every moment, with your loved ones and guests, just feeling the emotions whilst I work around you, capturing those memories, so you can relive them time and time again!
When you select your wedding photographer, you are buying into much more than just a service. This isn’t your everyday Netflix account, this is like the Harrods or Selfridges of wedding photography. Where values and standards are core to everything we do. My approach is guided by how I observe the world around me, this wonderful world full of so many emotions, connections, vibrancy and love. It drives me! It inspires me! And that of my work! I feel emotions deeply, and I bring this 6th sense into my photography. I notice subtle moments, and none so much as on the wedding day itself. I’m often sensing ‘a moment’ coming during the ceremony or at the crazy party late on into the night!
Leading up to your big day you will find me in OTT planning mode, as I am a strong believer in doing your research and planning ahead. But on the day itself, I will always follow my gut instinct and read the room. I do not stop working the whole day, even when I need to sit for some food, my mind is still working hard to find ways to get the best …………
When it comes to the wedding day I manage to get myself literally everywhere as I am super focused and all day long thinking how to get the best shots of your day, which tell the story as it unfolds.
I’ve always found, the best moments are the ones that naturally evolve, they are rarely staged and these are the moments I seek out throughout the day. I love to get in there and be close to the people and the action. The images I can create when I’m a few meters from the action make the moments feel so real and involving in the imagery I deliver. Capturing the life and soul of your wedding! The one which makes you feel intense and wonderful emotions.
Each day is totally unique, and this is why I like to follow my gut. The light, the location, the people, the details, the moments, the tears, the laughter, the speeches, each and every one is totally special and different to any other.
I am inspired by other creatives and by our incredible natural world around us. This is exactly why mountains feature in my branding. Because of my childhood memories of being up in the mountains all the time. Be that skiing down them or hiking up them. Nature holds a special place in my heart and is a great source of inspiration. I believe we should preserve and protect our natural world as much as possible. Which is why I have a whole page dedicated to Sustainability. I’m also deeply inspired by other loves in my life such as design, architecture, fashion, and film. I bring inspiration and ideas into my work from each of them.

 

My style

You may have found that lots of photographers out there label themselves as documentary and reportage, fine art, editorial, creative or natural light photographers. However, I am different! I don’t believe that my work care truly be described by a single label, besides who likes to be labelled and be told, you are ’this kind of person’ stay in your box. I believe my work has been influenced all of these fields. More than a label to my work, I believe that the feelings you feel from my work are far far more important! So there you go, I am a feelings or emotions photographer! I want you to fall in love again and again with my work and the moments captured within them! They are like art, they are documentary, they are editorial, they glow with stunning natural light – they are all of them!
