“Myself, mum, family all commented on how polite and courteous Ian the photographer was around us the family and our guests. Ian was excellent at capturing the special moments that we experienced, without being intrusive”

// Hiya, I’m Ian
Let’s start at the being… I am Ian R (for Russell) Marshall and I’m a Nottingham wedding photographer. I was born in Harare, Zimbabwe and moved to England aged seven moving to Bristol then Coventry and finally settled in Nottingham at aged 9.
For many years, I worked as a Musician and Music teacher and took on professional performance freelance work including things like song writing, session work, wedding bands and musical theatre. Love a bit of ‘Jazz Hands’ and I have always loved being creative.
I am a keen rock climber (see image of me dangling off a rock), love getting outdoors in the Peak District, which is sometimes like a second home.... and I am obsessed with music, all styles of music, new, old, everything and I appeared on the a Sky TV show Guitar Star Season 2 - Episode 1.

I started taking photographs as a hobby and then over time friends, family, night clubs, businesses and other people asked me to take photos for them. With enjoying this work so much, I plucked up the courage and approached several outstanding and creative photographers and offered my services to second shoot/assisting them to the gain experience. After several years, I took the leap to start up on my own…. and here I am!
What I love about being a wedding photographer is giving someone memories and captured moments to last forever and to show future generations. I remember as a child flicking through my parents’ photo albums and slides (yes, 'SLIDES!!') and reliving those memories. This is what I want to give my clients, photographic memories to make you smile now, and in years to come relive the moment.
