Best wedding photographer

Ian was highly recommended to us through a good friend. His style of photography is just what my wife and I envisioned for our wedding day. Ian was very professional, flexible, reliable, and very patient throughout the whole process. We show off our wedding photos any chance we get and everyone always compliments on how amazing they turned out. We couldn’t agree more! We look forward to using Ian as our photographer for our reception this August!

Wedding Day and Engagement Photos

Ian truly is the best! He shot our engagement photos and wedding day. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Throughout the entire process Ian was responsive, professional, and very easy/fun to work with. Not to mention has a great eye for detail. He helped direct us while also managing to capture everything we had asked for (i.e. specific shots, candids, dancing photos, etc.). I loved that he really listened to what we wanted out of our photos and made sure that he captured that while also providing his creativity and expertise.

After arriving at our venue, he walked around to scope out the best spots to shoot. This was incredibly helpful because the day of the wedding is so hectic, I hadn't even thought of where we would be taking group or sunset photos. We are SO happy with the final outcome (seriously our friends and family can't stop gushing over the sunset photos lol). I would highly recommend Ian to anyone looking for a great wedding photographer. Thanks again Ian!!

Ian exceeded our expectations!

Ian was a joy to work with! He shot our engagement photos and wedding, and we're so happy with the outcome. Ian was incredibly professional, had great attention to detail, and most of all has an incredible eye. The overall composition for our images and the coloring he did in post-production exceeded our expectations. We couldn't stop looking at our photos! On our wedding day, Ian was super flexible and captured every moment we asked for and more. My husband and I have large families on both sides and he was able to capture the large family photos without a complaint! Lol, highly recommend Ian and would definitely work with him again.

Go with Ian!!!

When it comes to a wedding one of the most important things is the photographer. Anytime you want to relive your special day you want to be able to look at your photos and know you made the right decision and have beautiful photos forever. Not enough can’t be said about how great it was working with Ian and how our wedding day looks just as amazing in pictures as it felt the day of.

Ian had done our engagement photos before hand and was extremely helpful/professional right from the start. After we had told Ian what we wanted and we’re thinking he gave us detailed instructions of when and where to be, appropriate attire, and saved us a headache of even more planning during an already hectic time.

We received our photos back and knew that we wanted him to photograph our wedding day. We had two meetings with him prior out wedding day to discuss the type of photos he typically takes, what the process usually is for weddings, and was very thorough in explaining everything so there was no confusion.

My wife and I couldn’t have picked a better photographer for our day for not only the ease of feeling like our photographer was really truly invested in our wedding day, but now we have AMAZING photos that we have for the rest of our lives.

It can not be stressed enough, GO. WITH. IAN.

Wedding in San Francisco City Hall

Ian was the best!! We got married in San Francisco City Hall and the photos were amazing! He took us to an awesome spot after for photos with the Golden Gate Bridge ❤️ He was so patient and didn’t make us feel rushed at all. Thank you for capturing our special day so beautifully!

Ian works magic

I am fortunate to know Ian personally as a friend and a coworker, but that doesn't change the facts -- Ian's photography is incredible! He covered my wedding ceremony and reception, as well as bridal party group photoshoot in between, for a whopping 14 hour day. Ian is prompt, professional, communicative, receptive to input, and the photos came out gorgeous. Thank you Ian!

Ian was easily our top vendor

We chose to work with Ian because we wanted to work with someone who we felt comfortable with and who we thought would be able to capture our day perfectly. Ian not only was fun and enjoyable to be around he also took the most stunning photos. I keep finding myself going back and printing more and more because I want them all over my home. I am so glad we chose to work with Ian. He listened to what we wanted (candids and the usual family shots) and truly delivered. My friends/family have already asked for his contact info because they loved his photography style and because he was so easy to have at our wedding. Thanks for everything, Ian!
