Behind the lens

Hi there! My name is Ian and I am a photographer based in Worcestershire in the United Kingdom and I am here to serve your wedding, engagement and portrait photography needs.

When it comes to choosing a wedding photographer for your big day, it shouldn't be a big stress. With plenty of other things you have to organise I try to keep things simple. I like to start off with a pre-wedding consultation as a great way to understand what you are looking for from a photographer and to discuss how I usually work, this way we can see if we are a good fit before taking up any more of your time. In the run up to the wedding I like to keep myself open to answer any of your questions and where possible, to do a venue visit so we can discuss the flow of the day and plan out shots ahead of time, therefore minimising any disruption to your big day. On the day I try to capture things as they happen, only stepping in to organise people during group formals and couple portraits.

Engagement shoots are another great way for us to get to know each other. They are a great chance for you to see how I work and communicate during a shoot and help inform your decision as to whether or not we are a good fit for the big day.

I provide portrait photography services for singles, couples and families. Having grown up the middle child between two sisters and with a niece and nephews between the ages of three and thirteen I am certainly used to having families of all ages around. I like to think that this translates into the mild mannered nature and patience that I bring to my work.

To see examples of my work or to get in touch with a photography enquiry of your own, please use the buttons located at the bottom of the page. It would be great to hear from you!
