I’m Ian, a wedding, elopement, couples, and family portrait photographer based in Paris, France
I started my business over fifteen years ago upon graduation from Speos, Paris Institute of Photography and have since documented hundreds of weddings & couples throughout France and Europe
ABOUT ME
Photographing a wedding or a portrait session, my approach and end goal is the same; to tell your unique story through photography. Staying clear from photography ‘trends’, what I create for you is an elegant, timeless set of photographs, full of real feelings and emotions, allowing you to relive this moment in your lives each and every time you look through your prints/album.
Offering a personal, bespoke service, I photograph a maximum of fifteen well-planned, elegant weddings/elopements throughout France and Europe each year, plus a number of portrait sessions for couples and families.
Outside of running my photography business, I split my time between Paris and my mountain home in the French Alps. Living between two vastly different environments suits my adventurous lifestyle pretty well. I love the contrast between the vibrant, energised capital city, and the peaceful nature offered by the mountains, where I get to practice my two main passions outside of photography; cycling and snowboarding.
ABOUT MY CLIENTS
Finding the perfect destination photographer, be it for your wedding, elopement, or portrait session should mark the beginning of a partnership.
Outstanding photographs come from a genuine connection between photographer and subject.
I want to go beyond merely taking pretty pictures, I want to establish a deeper connection that will come across in the photos. I want you to let down your guard and let me in, whilst I gently direct and document.
My clients share a special appreciation for photography, yes, they love beautifully lit, well-composed images set in stunning locations, but they also value photos that capture intimate beauty, genuine emotions, and real storytelling.
Regarding their wedding, whilst they possess a wonderful sense of style, and want their wedding day to showcase this, they also understand that imperfections and unexpected moments can, and undoubtedly will, add to the charm of their special day. Their main priority is an event that celebrates their love for each other which I capture through photography.
Adventure and travel hold a special place in their hearts, and they’re inviting me in to document this particular adventure, be it a portrait session on the charming streets of Paris, an intimate elopement with close friends and family, or a grand-chateau wedding surrounded by all the most important people in their lives.
I encourage anyone who shares a similar perspective and sense of aesthetics to consider me as their photographer, no matter what their vision may be. Reach out, tell me the vision for your wedding or photoshoot, things you love, what inspires you, and what makes your partner so special to you. If we’re a great fit I would be honored to tell your story.
A LITTLE MORE…
When not working I’m probably cycling
From weaving through Parisian traffic on my city bike to big days out on mountain bikes in the Alps, even crossing countries on multi-day tours. Cycling is by far my most preferred mode of transport.
I also like to photograph landscapes
Enjoying both photography and nature I often combine the two and photograph landscapes.
A selection of my landscapes are available here as fine-art framed prints.
One of my best friends is a beautiful dog named ‘Hero’
When I’m staying up in the mountains, the coolest Husky called ‘Hero’ spends all his time with me, even joining me on some pretty epic mountain bike rides.
