Falmouth-based wedding photographer Ian Butler specialises in candid, documentary and environmental bridal photography. He creates creative, beautifully lit wedding photos that tell your story.
You live your love story — I will capture it. Based in Falmouth, Cornwall, I specialise in wedding photography, combining candid documentary moments with environmental portraiture to create a narrative of your day. With over six years of wedding and commercial experience, my aim is to find strong images that capture mood, emotion and the little details that make your wedding unique. My approach is relaxed and unobtrusive. I blend photojournalism with posed moments so couples get the best of both worlds: natural, story-driven images alongside beautiful bridal and group portraits. I pay particular attention to light and composition, shaping each frame to be both creative and timeless. That balance — beautifully lit, honest imagery — is what makes my wedding photography resonate with couples who want more than just a set of pictures. Working with me is straightforward and personal. I start by getting to know you: your plans, what matters most on the day, and any special moments you want captured. On the wedding day I aim to be calm and friendly, helping even camera-shy couples feel at ease. I work flexibly around your schedule, choosing moments to step in and photograph without interrupting the flow of the day. After the wedding I carefully edit and sequence images to present a coherent narrative that reflects the mood and story of your celebration. While weddings are my core focus, I also offer videography and undertake occasional commercial, event and portrait assignments across Falmouth and the wider Cornwall area. These secondary services complement my storytelling approach and can be integrated where needed — for example, combining stills and film to give a fuller record of your wedding day. If you’re looking for a Falmouth wedding photographer who values atmosphere, authentic emotion and strong lighting, I’d love to help tell your story. My work is rooted in capturing moments that feel genuine and looking for the images that will sit in your home and heart for years to come.
