Hi, I’m Ian, a local photographer on the boarder of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire in South Normanton, Alfreton.

My purpose is to capture the REAL memories you'll cherish forever! Don’t worry about giving a list of photos as my lens will give a unique perspective into all those special moments that make up YOUR special day. Think of those happy families gathering together with candid wedding photos as things unfold, to amazing portraits to place on your walls.

I will be in the shadows to in the mix of the wedding to capture those truly amazing wedding photographs from all different angels and view points to relive. 

Trust me when I say: your emotions will come flooding back to you as you look over your wedding pics time and time again. 

Portraits in the comfort of your own home and local beauty spots.

My Photography Style

The focus to tell your story

All you need to focus on is each other, your guests and of cause experiencing the wonderful moments throughout your wedding day! I'll be there cameras in hand taking photos without disrupting or staging moments.

Your family and friends will share joyous moments, laughter and maybe some tears throughout the day as they enjoy your special wedding celebrations…and those candid wedding pics? They’ll barely know those wedding photos have been taken at all.

family photos

Getting your family all together and looking in the right direction for those group formal portraits is certainly no easy task, I can tell you. But worry not, I am here to help make things run smoothly and hassle free. This is why a more natural approach to your wedding photographs often gives the best candid moments to cherish.

That being said, we all know there are short moments where I may need to make myself known to organise those group sessions as fast as possible so you can all go back to the party.

The amazing portraits

I don’t like to take you both away from your guests for long periods, I perfect a 10 to 20 min session for those portrait moments. This is often after the ceremony, then again at a variety of times during the day such as sunsets and night portrait opportunities.
