Documentary Approach.
Ian's purist documentary approach on a wedding day delivers images from an observers point of view. He's essentially an extra guest at his couples' weddings even dressing in the same dress code as the guests to blend in.
He shoots up close, rarely shooting from longer distances as that just makes a photographer more noticeable. By working quietly and patiently with a considered approach, and simply observing, anticipating situations and documenting what unfolds before him, he captures the natural & emotive moments of the wedding - the laughter, the tears and all of the other emotions of the day.
Although Ian shoots without direction, he does allow for 20 minutes worth of 5-6 small group formals and will also take the bride and groom away for just 10-15 minutes of lightly directed portraits.
