approach
Ian's low-key documentary style of photography delivers images from an observers point of view and the majority of his images are captured without his subjects even being aware of him.
By creatively documenting what unfolds before him, he captures the true essence of the wedding - the laughter, the tears, the joy and all of the emotions of the day.
Ian strongly believes that the day belongs to the Bride & Groom and their guests and not to the photographer or videographer, so to remain as unobtrusive as possible chooses to work completely alone.
He will not take any posed shots other than 5-6 small group formals of immediate family and 10 minutes of very lightly directed portraits with the bride and groom.
About 50% of the shots Ian takes are converted to black & white. By removing colour, the viewer can concentrate on light and composition, without having to contend with colours & tones that clash and distract the eye.
