About Ian
As a photojournalist, Ian believes that the best photographs of any wedding are the spontaneous, authentic moments that happen in real life, moments that happen on their own without his intervention. By being observant and unobtrusive, he captures these slices of time creating a heartfelt record of the wedding occasion, a story told with photographs. Ian is also an accomplished portrait photographer and is happy to augment his documentary approach with posed photos depending on his clients' wishes. He has a lot of experience working in these two modes having photographed more than 800 weddings.
Ian is a true photojournalist. He is a Getty Images Grants for Editorial Photography winner and his work has appeared in a myriad of publications including Newsweek, The New Yorker, and Rolling Stone. This high-level documentary photojournalism experience gives him the ability to comprehensively plan his coverage of a wedding, resulting in a thorough photographic record that relates not only what the wedding looked like, but what people were experiencing and feeling throughout the occasion.
Ian specializes in weddings that are within 120 miles of his base in Carmel-by-the-Sea. He mainly photographs weddings in Pebble Beach, Carmel Valley, Monterey, Pacific Grove, Big Sur, Berkeley, and San Francisco. If your wedding is in a different locale, Ian is happy to travel.
