Ian Southwell Photography

I love photographing weddings. I love the being part of the joy and love shared during the day, and I capture it all in photographs!

For most weddings, I will photograph you both getting ready and guests arriving and greeting each other, the location - inside and outside, plus the ceremony room, cake, rings. In fact I (and my assistant) will photograph everything!!

Then I'll photograph your ceremony, guests and the capture the joy and emotion.

Next steps are the big group and small group pictures. I usually start with a big group photos and down to smaller groups. This means guests aren't getting bored and can get on with enjoying themselves.We'll then go off with the newly-weds to take special pictures, usually in the grounds of the wedding location (these are the pictures that tend to be chosen as wall art).

That's quite a lot of great pictures already, but I stay on for the rest of the day to capture the wedding breakfast, first dance and cutting the cake, and everything in between.

I'll usually take about 1,500 pictures during the day, from which I'll work on the very best to get down to 250 or so. I make your pictures look amazing so they can be used in a wedding album or as wall art. In any case, you own all the images which are supplied as high resolution files.

360 degree immersive panoramic video. We can take a 360 degree panoramic video of the wedding ceremony so you can look back and see everything! If you've not seen 360 degree video, ask me for a demo. It's an incredible add-on and has to be seen to be believed.

What's included?
On-line Gallery. All your pictures are availble in an on-line gallery for you to share with friends and family.

Pre wedding Shoot. Before your wedding, we get together for a pre-wedding photo-shoot. This is a great time to get you used to being photographed. I provide the pre-wedding photographs as high resolution files for you to share. Many people use them for wedding stationary.

After your wedding:
For Wall Art, I can supply professional fine art prints, wall hangings and canvasses.

For Wedding Albums I design an exquisite wedding album which can be leather or linen bound.
