Ian and Jo made our wedding day truly memorable. The photos are of exceptional quality and capture the day perfectly. On our wedding day they made us feel at ease and were friendly/fun to have there.

Ian's photographs for our wedding are amazing. Ian also took the wedding photographs for my sisters wedding and two other close friends of mine and I would have no hestitation in recommending him for your special day. As a family we have also been to a family portrait sesson with him, which was great fun and again he produced some fab pics, we definitely would use Ian again for any further professional photographs in the future.

Absolutely amazing. We had Ian and Jo photograph our wedding through their storybook wedding service in 2006. I have never met a photography couple more professional, enthusiastic, or talented. Our photo's were fantastic, unique, and presented in a stunning album and CD ROM. Their presence at our wedding was discreet yet they still managed to capture the essence of the day. Three years down the line people are still amazed by our photo's. I would definitely recommend Ian Pickering Photography, the service was outstanding from start to finish, and the final product really is something that will make a lasting impression forever.

Used Ian for commercial work on a number of occasions. He interprets the brief very quickly and very well, makes a lot of creative input, generates a lot of varied images and delivers a good selection of post-production options. He is our first choice when contracting in photographic services. Highly recommended.
