My passion is to tell the story of your special day from start to finish in a relaxed and informal style with no uncomfortable posing. I am certainly not the type of photographer that likes to take the wedding couple away from family and friends for too long on the wedding day, just two twenty minute sessions is normally all I need to create some stunning images. I really like having some fun on the wedding day, my clients appreciate my humour and my ability to produce beautifull images with very little effort on their part. Most of my clients tell me they felt so relaxed and most of the time did not know I was there!

Above all I believe that my images have a beautiful, light natural feel that express the joy and excitement of the day and reflect the emotion of the moment and the unconditional love between two people on their wedding day.

I hope we can share your day together.

Where are you located? Do you charge a travel fee for weddings not in your location?

I am based in South West France on the border of the Charente and the Dordogne, I am happy to travel to all parts of France and the UK. I do not charge a travel fee to venues that are within a two hour radius of my home.

How long have you been in business? How many weddings have you photographed as the main photographer?

I have been working as a professional photographer for over 17+ years and must have photographed well over 150 weddings.

Describe your "style" of wedding photography.

My style of photography is very relaxed and informal, no uncomfortable posing! I tell the story of the day from the start to the finish in as unobtrusive way as I can.
I like to inject some fun and excitement into my images if I can.

What's the typical wedding coverage package that you offer? What is the price?

The type of coverage that I get asked most often, for now, is all day coverage so I would generally arrive at a venue 3 hours before the ceremony and leave about one hour after the first dance, my normal rate for 2025 weddings starts from 2000 euros within 2 hours of my location, outside of this area I charge for travel but please contact me and let me know what your budget is.

Do you have a studio where we can meet in-person?

I do not have a studio but I am happy to meet and talk via Skype, WhatsApp or Facetime. I can sometimes meet up in person if you are visiting your location and it is not too far from where I live in France.

What are your professional degrees, credentials, affiliations? Have you taken any recent educational workshops or classes?

I have a degree in photography and I am a member of the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers. My work has been published in numerous magazines and books in the UK and Australia.

Is there anything else you'd like to share about yourself?

I am very easy to work with and I always like to make couples and their families as comfortable as possible when being photographed. My good sense of humour makes me so easy to work with and my 100% commitment to your wedding day means you will be reliving every moment form your special day when you look through your photographs.
I also work as a food/lifestyle photographer under my own name Ian Wallace.
