Choosing a wedding photographer is a big decision, and it really helps to hear from couples who’ve already been on that journey. I’ve been lucky to work with some truly wonderful people who’ve shared their thoughts about what it was like having me there on the day.
Where do we begin?! Ian was so much more than our wedding photographer… he was our therapist, coordinator and amazing hype guy! He acted as our wedding planning agony aunt, sharing all his wedding wisdom and advice. Nothing was ever too big or too small. Planning a wedding without a planner was a lot more stressful than we anticipated. Having Sidey at the end of the phone was an absolute dream!
He was a calming force on the lead-up to the wedding and on the big day itself (which was certainly needed at points). He made sure everyone was in the right place at the right time and having an absolute ball. Sidey was simply wonderful in every which way! Sidey’s laid-back style is exactly what we were looking for in our photographer. We wanted to make sure that we didn’t miss out on any of the fun on the day, stuck taking traditional portraits. His photos really capture the essence of the day… pink disco ball fun! We are thrilled that he joined our wedding and we couldn’t recommend him more!
Thank you so much Ian, you really are a superstar!

Ian is an absolute delight and we cannot recommend him enough. From the initial enquiry to the day that we received the final photographs of our wedding day, everything ran smoothly and he was a pleasure to deal with. Aside from the fact that he is a dream to be around, we could not be happier with the photographs of our day; they are incredible.
He made everyone feel so comfortable. Every single one of our guests have been raving about how brilliant he was and we couldn't agree more! He was prepared for anything and always with a smile – we miss him already!!

Ian was an absolute dream to work from day one! So friendly, fun and clearly so passionate about his work. He completely got us as a couple and made us feel so excited in the lead up to the wedding. He was so helpful offering loads of tips and advice, and our couples shoot was so much fun I went into the day feeling totally comfortable and reassured.
On the day Ian was such an amazing presence, reassuring, helpful, funny but not intrusive at all. So many guests commented on how wonderful he was! And the photos. Wow. They are bang on brief, completely us and just so gorgeous with so many special moments captured. Hard to put into words how amazing they are and even harder to choose our favourites. We are so, so happy we chose him.

Words cannot explain the overall experience with Ian. From our engagement shoot to our whole wedding day. He is more than a photographer – he is your best friend for the whole day. He captures moments effortlessly and makes you feel relaxed throughout. From our date changes to our personalities, he works with anything with grace and professionalism. He is literally the biggest breath of fresh air and loved by all of our family and friends just by being met on the day.

Our wedding was an absolute dream and we are so thankful that we had Sidey to capture our day! We had so much fun that the day did fly by, but thankfully we have the best photographs to look back on and enjoy.
Our friends and family instantly loved Ian which meant they were comfortable and natural in the photographs. We’ve been at other weddings where people avoid the photographer but with Ian, he felt like one of the guests. Sidey was with us from set-up until the end of the night and he worked so hard to get the pictures he knew we’d love. They are colourful, joyful and contemporary.
Also, being a gay couple with lots of queer friends, we all felt the love from our photographer being LGBTQ+ — rather than feeling at all self-conscious.

We could not be happier with our photos from Ian. We specifically didn't want lots of over-posed orchestrated photos, or to spend a lot of time away from our guests on our wedding day and Ian totally respected this and now we have an album of beautiful, natural, candid photos of our memories of the day. Ian photographed our small registry wedding, followed by our Hindu wedding and reception on a different day.
Ian also is an incredibly nice guy who made us feel super comfortable (we are not really photo people) when we met for a pre-wedding shoot. He is also super encouraging and was a friendly face to see during our wedding planning. He did so, so much for us on the day he is more than a photographer, he was a huge support. Honestly, he ended up helping to dress me, carrying half my stuff around, just making everything feel smooth, without complaint and without even being asked.
Ian captured all of the key moments from the Hindu ceremony, plus some beautiful shots of our guests (and us having a great time at the party!), as well as our registry wedding and some shots of us around Greenwich town. Everything just looks beautiful and the photos are exactly what we wanted we can now cherish these memories thanks to Ian. He's such a talented photographer. We knew we loved his style from looking at his portfolio, but to see our own wedding captured by him... I might be biased, but seriously they're the best wedding photos I've ever seen!
