Dordogne Wedding Photographer
Hi, I’m 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 moments! 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 for your special day and hours deciding your 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 I can make it as easy as possible for you without taking you away from your family and friends for too long on your special day.
I can give you some more information about how I work here.
I photograph with my heart and revel in the emotion, guiding you guidance 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.
"To summarise our reaction - WOW.
You were fantastic on the day and went above and beyond, we are so so happy".
