Dordogne Wedding Photographer
Hi, I’m Ian, the photographer behind A Very French Wedding.
I have been a wedding photographer here in France for over 14 years. Before that, I worked as a fashion, lifestyle and food photographer in London and Sydney for international magazines, book publishers and newspapers’ Sunday supplements.
I have seen many trends come and go in photography, including motion blur, grainy images, vintage film and out-of-focus shots. My advice would always be to “keep it classic”, as this style never dates.
I like nothing more than making your wedding day dreams a reality in a relaxed and informal way. 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 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.
I can give you some more information about how I work here.
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 gallery and make you feel like being surrounded by everything and everyone that truly matters.
I try to blend into the background as much as possible, some of my couples tell me at the end of the day that they didn't even notice me during their ceremony.
"Weddings, shot the way they actually felt"
"To summarise our reaction - WOW.
You were fantastic on the day and went above and beyond, we are so so happy".
