Vanessa & Darren’s wedding at the lovely Forest Lodge Hotel in the New Forest, Hampshire. I loved shooting portraits of them both at Bolton’s Bench, where Darren proposed. Such a happy, smiley couple

Sarah & James’ Wedding Photos | Lake Como, Italy

Ian — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 13:26:32 +0000

James and Sarah’s amazing wedding day at Lake Como in Italy. I had been looking forward to this one for a long time! The ceremony and reception were all at the Relais Regina Teodolinda in Laglio, on the west coast of the spectacularly beautiful Lake Como.

One of the most relaxed couples ever, it was brilliant to be part of Sarah and James’ special day. All their guests were great fun too and up for a brilliant time, so thanks to you all!

There’s no way I could just post a couple of my favourites from the wedding, it was such a brilliant day, so here’s 40!

I loved the colours and textures of the walls, what a cool street sign.

Gorgeous dress in a gorgeous room, I could have kept shooting in here all day.

More amazing colours and textures.

Love this calm moment before the wedding with Sarah looking out on to Lake Como.

Can’t remember what the joke was!

Table centre pieces, just one of the many beautiful details of the wedding.

James’ brother Rob gave a hilarious speech.

Best location for a wedding cake ever? I think so!

Wedding Photographer London | Antonia and Luke’s Engagement Photos

Ian — Tue, 10 May 2011 11:51:33 +0000

It was a beautiful day in north London for Antonia and Luke’s engagement portrait session. The sun shone and the wisteria and bluebells were out in the gorgeous gardens of the National Trust’s Fenton House in Hampstead.

It was such a fun day out and I’m looking forward to photographing their wedding in August

It was the day before the Royal Wedding, so I wanted to get this Union Jack in that someone had conveniently placed outside their house.

Thanks to Antonia’s Mum for the wonderful hospitality of tea and cucumber sandwiches

Anita & Dan’s Wedding | Manners Arms, Grantham

Ian — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 10:33:39 +0000

Anita and Dan had a lovely wedding ceremomy and reception at the Manners Arms in Knipton near Grantham, Lincolnshire. A beautiful venue and, as you’ll see, I was particularly taken by the mirrors!

Helen & Gavin’s Wedding | Charingworth Manor

Ian — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 06:26:19 +0000

Helen and Gav had a gorgeous candlelit wedding at Charingworth Manor in the Cotswolds. When Helen told me that it would be a candlelit ceremony I thought “no problem, I’m sure there’ll be a few lights on”. Well, no, Helen really did mean just candles! I didn’t need to worry, 250 candles put out a surprising amount of light (and a LOT of heat!). Combined with my awesome low light lenses and camera ISO pushed to the max, got some lovely shots. They had a small reception for close family and friends on the day and part two of this blog post will be coming soon, the party for 150!

Helen & Adam’s Wedding Photos | Horsley Towers

Ian — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 10:21:51 +0000

Helen and Adam had a beautiful winter wedding at Horsley Towers in Surrey. We had a lovely crisp winter’s day, with blue skies and gorgeous light. A few of my favourite photos…

I love to capture all the details at a wedding. The combination of beautiful shoes, window sill and golden winter light all came together in the photo below, perfect!

(The sun burst was done in camera by the way, no photoshop required! Email me if you’d like to know the technique.)

Excellent first dance, well done guys! Love the movement and colour in this one.

Warwick Castle Wedding | Naomi & Barry

Ian — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 10:11:02 +0000

Naomi & Barry got married at the awesome Warwick Castle back in August (yes, I’m a litle behind on my wedding posts!). It was a true fairy tale Castle wedding, complete with Naomi arriving by horse and carriage (which Barry knew nothing about, and was slightly worried about what else she had organised without him knowing!).

Everything was perfect, and we managed to have reception drinks in the gorgeous evening light of the Peacock Gardens, followed by a brilliant portrait session around the grounds. Having free reign of the Castle’s grounds with no one else around was amazing!

The fun didn’t stop there, and we carried on the celebrations with a medieval themed wedding breakfast. I’ve never had a full suit of armour in the cake shot before, very cool! Congratulations to the new Mr & Mrs Denton, and thanks for letting me share such a fantastic day.

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

Ian — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 13:42:01 +0000

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

Heatherden Hall has 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!).

Sara & Charlie’s Wedding | Salisbury, Wiltshire

Ian — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 14:54:38 +0000

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!).

This private barn in Salisbury is available to hire for weddings, please contact me for details.
