Meet Ian

The photographer behind A Very French Wedding.

I have been a wedding photographer here in France for 14+ years, before that I worked as a fashion/lifestyle/editorial photographer in London and Sydney.

I tell the story of your day from the start to the finish as it happens, I don't manufacture uncomfortable moment's!  I'm not the type of "fly on the wall" photographer either, I want to be with you, laughing, crying and dancing.

I want to make your wedding day dreams a reality in a relaxed and informal way, you have spent months finding the right venue and hours deciding on the perfect colour scheme and table decorations and I want to be there to record it for you.

No one is comfortable having their photograph taken but I promise that I can make it as easy as possible without taking you away form your family and friends for too long on your special day.


I can give you some more information about how I work here.




Bride in a flowing white gown and groom in a dark suit hold hands, silhouetted against a golden sunset over rolling hills.

Your day told from start to finish!

I photograph with my heart and revel in the emotion, guiding you  when you need it and stepping back when you don't.


I pay attention to the quiet moments, the in-between interactions  and the relationships that make your day what it is.


My goal is to deliver a timeless, classic gallery that is not influenced by current photography trends, I want the photographs on your walls from your wedding day to stay current in the years ahead.


I am always moving and looking for the next timeless image. I do not make my own social media content on your wedding day, and you won’t find me distracted by my phone. I am 100% concentrated on YOUR wedding.


A romantic wedding couple shares intimate moments in a series of tender poses against an elegant outdoor backdrop.

"To summarise our reaction - WOW.

You were fantastic on the day and went above and beyond, we are so so happy".
