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.

My BIL and sister share the same look for each other after 25 years of marriage. It is magical.

This strange woman seems to know who I am, so I'd better pretend to be happy to see her.

Aren't these the same women from the car? With the green witch in the back? Something did not turn out the way it was planned, by the looks of it!
