About

As a proud Northern Wisconsinite from a small blue collar town, Ian decided to take off and seek a route much different than the typical job opportunities that overtook the north. Camera in hand and car packed to the brim, he took off to South Carolina in his pursuit of becoming a master of his craft.

With just about nine years already committed to the craft of photography, Ian has vowed and promised to learn everyday. Drawing inspiration from the works of Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, Ryan Brenizer, and Reuben Wu, Ian has found comfort in many genres of photography. In a world that has provided photography to be easily accessible to the masses, he strives to shoot intentionally to create less, but better. Learning multiple formats Ian prides himself in taking photography to levels that requires professionalism and commitment. With advanced lighting situations, medium format systems, and a firm understanding of event planning and logistics, Ian strives to reach levels of professionalism that are too often lost in the ease of accessibility in modern photography.

AMAZING Photographers!

Ian and Savannah were UNREAL. They were amazing pre-wedding and the day of. If I could do it all over again, I'd choose them as my photographers, hands down. They made us feel so comfortable and our pictures turned out amazing. We received so many compliments post-wedding of people saying, "your photographers were the absolute best...and those pictures are stunning." They are truly best-in-class photographers. HIRE THEM!

IVS is incredible!

Ian and his assistant, Savanah, captured our day flawlessly. I was blown away by their professionalism and quality. If you are planning a SC wedding, you do NOT want to miss out on booking them.

Best Wedding Photographer

Ian was amazing to work with! He felt like a friend we’d known forever through the process. So easy to talk too, completely understands what your goal is and executes it! We’re so happy we found him. His work is gorgeous! We couldn’t have had a better photographer. So friendly, so professional! You’ll be in such good hands. An added bonus, he knew the best recommendations for us! We went with a coordinator he had previously worked with Trish Beck. The two were amazing! I don’t know what I would have done without them.

Great Experience

Couldn’t be happier with choosing Ian to be our wedding photographer! My husband and I always had a good time during our sessions with him. I get so many compliments on my pictures down to the details shots! Book him!

So happy we went with IVS!

I was so nervous to pick a wedding photographer because I had such high expectations on our wedding photos.... and since I am not from HHI, I was extra nervous planning everything out of state. But I came across Ian’s work on Instagram and he was the only photographer who called and really walked us through what to expect. He was professional and his work was perfection! We treasure our wedding photos so much. Neither my husband or I can imagine our day without Ian, his background in event planning helped us multiple times. He was so fun to have around and very easy to work with. Thanks for making us feel so special and giving us such beautiful pictures!

The best around!

When I started looking for a wedding photographer, I did not know where to begin and no idea what style I wanted. IVS photography was highly recommended to me by another photographer and once I saw his work, I was sold. After I contacted Ian, he said he always likes to meet with his couples to make sure that they are a good match with his photography style and personality. Right then, I knew he was totally invested on what each couple wanted to accomplish on their big day verse just being there to capture photos. From engagement pictures to a few coffee meetings leading up to the big day, Ian was amazing! His professionalism, desire to work with all other vendors and outgoing personality is top notch. If you are having any thoughts about Ian doing your wedding or any special event for you, do it. I promise you will be blown away with his work!

Quality photographer with a great personality

Ian was wonderful to work with! He got all of the shots we wanted, helped keep unruly family members in line, and rolled with the punches.

Our wedding day started with rain which shortened our already tight window for photographs before the ceremony. Ian was able to get some shots inside working with the reception decor until the rain died down. He even stayed past our agreed upon time frame to get back the outdoor time we missed. I'm so glad he was willing to be flexible as those last pictures are some of my favorites!

Ian is super personable and professional. I would absolutely recommend him to any couple for their wedding day!

Beautiful photos and great guy!

Ian was fantastic to work with! We’ve only seen some of the preview photos but we couldn’t be happier! My husband and I weren’t feeling well on our wedding day but Ian made sure the photos don’t show that at all. We also hired a videographer and Ian worked really well alongside him and I appreciated the collegiality. Highly recommend Ian!
