  • A Very French Wedding

A Very French Wedding Wedding photographer South West France, the Dordogne and Charente. Over 15 years experience. I am easy going, good fun and enjoy making people laugh on the day.

Relaxed and informal wedding day story telling with Ian, a British photographer living in France. I have been a photographer for over 20 years, my style of photography is very relaxed and informal with no uncomfortable posing! I try to minimize the time I take the bride and the groom away form family and friends for the photographs, normally just two 20 minute sessions will be sufficient. I divide

my time between France and the UK and am happy to work in either country or further afield. Lets chat and discuss your plans to see if we might be a perfect fit. Ian

Always lovely capturing the day that is so special to so many people and this is especially so when working with Dick and Angel at one of their amazing weddings at Chateau de La Motte Husson.

Always nice to do something a bit different with the ring shot at a wedding.
I think the black and white evokes a really lovely vibe particularly with the mood of the light that was available at the time.

Looking back with a little bit of nostalgia I came across the first wedding that I photographed at Chateau de La Motte Husson with Dick and Angel.
This wedding kicked off a fantastic partnership with these two creative individuals and lots of more weddings and various other partnerships including books, Sunday supplement features and plenty of commercial work.
Always a pleasure to work with these two and looking forward to what 2025 might bring.

I am always amazed what you can get away with when you have virtually no natural light left on a wedding day shoot. Shooting on the Canon R6 mk2 with it’s amazing low light capabilities gives me the ability to capture special moments when you can just about see your couple in the gloom! Here in very last of the daylight Natalia and Emale are able to sneak away from their family and friends to share a few quiet moments together, although they did have a photographer with them!

Definitely one of my favourite moments from the 2024 wedding season. This has been on my bucket list for some time, thanks to Neil .studio for persuading Louise and Ryan who were celebrating their special day and game for most things we asked of them!

The confetti throw is always my favourite part of the wedding day celebrations.
I think it becomes such a fun thing to do after the stress of getting ready and then the ceremony. After this it is on to drinks, dinner then dancing, what a day!
Annaliese and Ben looked like they were so loving this moment when they tied the knot at Chateau Destinee in the Dordogne last summer.

Excited to see the new book from Dick and Angel which I photographed over 12 months last year and this year hitting the shops in the UK. Based around each season, it is a mixture of gardening, craft and food and with a celebration taking place for every new season. It was an amazing job, working with two lovely and creative people, I can honestly say that after having tasting all of the food that we photographed (purely on a professional basis of course) that every recipe was amazingly tasty 😋

Our Story

Hi, I am Ian the photographer behind A Very French Wedding and would describe myself as a lifestyle/editorial photographer. I am passionate about photography and couldn’t imagine doing anything else as a career. I live in South West France with my wife Louise and our two dogs Bosco and Enzo. I enjoy cycling the incredibly quiet roads of rural France, dreaming of a past career as a pro cyclist ( I wish ) and keep bees which supply me with enough honey for the year and plenty of presents for friends and family. I am also practicing my carpentry skills when I get the time. I have a very relaxed and informal style, am easy going, good fun and enjoy making people laugh. I divide my time between France and the UK and am happy to work in either country or further afield. Lets chat. Ian
