My mix of reportage, artistic & traditional wedding photography is often described as fresh, contemporary, artistic and beautifully quirky.........


Hello and welcome to my website, I'm Ian Holt, sole photgrapher and owner of Ian W Holt Photography, Holt Photography Tuition and Wedding Photography North West.

My photography journey started when I was 14 years old - my older brother came home one day with a Canon film camera, after a few weeks he got bored of the camera and I "inherited" it.
After developing my first film I became instantly fascinated with photography - the way that the light could change a scene and how different portraits would look depending on the location of the sun and the time of the day - I was hooked.
I will always recall the man at the processing shop presuming I was an errand boy for a professional photographer - I never did correct him.

My wedding photography is often described as fresh, contemporary, artistic and a beautifully quirky...
I like to let the events of the day unfold naturally and capture them as they happen - being in the right place to create compelling and emotional images - a sort of reportage and photojournalism approach with an artistic twist.
As part of my diploma in photography I studied and mastered the art of traditional wedding photography, directing and conducting traditional and timeless poses - this gives me a unique approach to wedding photography - being able to offer a mix of all the styles depending on you requirements and adapting to the wedding as it happens and changes on the day.
Individually my photographs are artistic and contemporary, together they form to tell the story of the entire day.
