Ian Olsson’s Blog bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

Hello and welcome to my blog. I'm a professional photographer based in Guildford, Surrey and travel all over the UK and abroad with my work. The first question I get asked when I tell people I'm a photographer is "what do you photograph"? Well... as you'll see below, I take photos of loads of stuff, from weddings and portraits, to theatre productions and live bands, to corporate and advertising work.

I love to read your feedback through the comments underneath each post.
It's really easy to add your thoughts. You don't need to open an

Ross & Jenny’s Wedding | Heatherden Hall, Pinewood Studios

Jenny and Ross were married at the beautiful Heatherden Hall at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire.

I didn’t want to risk getting escorted off the premises for photographing the 007 stage and other cool locations, but it was great to drive past and see it all. Heatherden Hall had fantastic grounds and provided more than enough backgrounds for photos (I could have kept shooting all week!).

Thanks to Ross & Jenny for being so much fun (and Best Man Craig for his excellent people-rounding skills!).

Theatre Production Photography | Beauty & the Beast

The Biz Theatre School always put on a fantastic performance and this year was no exception. To put on such a professional show in just two weeks of the children’s summer holidays is amazing. Here’s a few of my favourites from their show Beauty and the Beast at Leatherhead Theatre.

I had great fun being a kid again today. Plaid Tidings has some brilliant toys, lots of them educational at the same time as being fun, bonus! Here’s a few of my favourites…

Sara & Charlie’s Wedding | Salisbury, Wiltshire

Sara & Charlie had a gorgeous wedding ceremony and reception at Sara’s parents’ barn in Salisbury, Wiltshire. I have known Sara’s brother for many years and spent many a good evening at parties in the barn (in a non-professional capacity!) so it was fantastic to photograph Sara & Charlie’s wedding there.

We had a glorious summer’s day and as you’ll see below, had great fun in and around the barn. With so many photo opportunities and backgrounds I could have kept shooting all day (or probably for a whole week!).

20 August, 2010 - 08:00 Vinny - A good call for the barn door shot. The texture is great.

Rohini and David had one of the most beautiful days of the year for their fabulous outdoor wedding at Notley Abbey, in Thame, Buckinghamshire. Such a lovely couple, and a fantastic venue.

Engagement Portrait Photos | Canary Wharf, London

Jon’s Mum bought him and his fiancée Libby a portrait session gift voucher for their engagement. They live near Canary Wharf, so I thought this would be a fantastic place for a photoshoot. I wasn’t wrong! There were so many brilliant photo opportunities and backgrounds to work with (and of course a lovely couple!). Walking around Canary Wharf on a Sunday afternoon was a slightly surreal experience as I had only been during the week before, with the 10,000 or so commuters going about their business. It almost felt like a film set. The masses of steel and glass caught my eye, and I could have kept taking photos there for hours!
