Ian Weldon brings a fresh take to wedding photography, stepping away from the usual posed photos to capture real, spontaneous moments. He likes to blend in with the guests, using a small camera to catch genuine emotions and funny, unexpected events without anyone really noticing he’s there. His approach gives a more honest and lively look at the wedding day, filled with real laughter, tears, and joy.

Inspired by a range of photographers, from those who capture everyday life like Martin Parr to unique fashion photographers like Sarah Moon, Weldon's photos tell a story that's about more than just a wedding. They show life as it happens, making his work stand out not just as a record of a couple's big day.
