Glasgow Wedding Photographer
Hello. My name is Ian Arthur and I really do love weddings. Yes, I know, it sounds a bit soppy doesn’t it – but who can’t resist a good wedding..? And spookily enough, I also happen to be a full-time wedding photographer. How strange is that..?
I really do love wedding day because a wedding is a happy occasion. Sure, there are usually a few moments of anxiety or drama, which is only natural, but a wedding is a happy day and I just love being there to play my part in the coming together of two people in love. I also love the challenge of capturing the moment, and especially capturing those real moments without any interference from me.
Your wedding day is going to be one of the happiest and most hectic days of your life, and with so much going on during the day you’re not going to remember much of it. This is why you need a photographer with experience who can capture all this happiness so afterwards you can look back and re-live your day for many years to come.
Over the years I have photographed hundreds and hundreds of weddings so I know where to be and what to do at any kind of wedding. I photograph weddings in my own way by capturing the day with relaxed, natural and elegant photography, and whether you are having a big wedding, a small wedding, an intimate or elopement wedding, I have more than enough experience to photograph your day.
Its my job to tell the story of your day through my pictures, and I do this by creating timeless, candid and elegant images…
