Ian Olsson’s Blog bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

Hello and welcome to my blog. I'm a professional photographer based in Guildford, Surrey and travel all over the UK and abroad with my work. The first question I get asked when I tell people I'm a photographer is "what do you photograph"? Well... as you'll see below, I take photos of loads of stuff, from weddings and portraits, to theatre productions and live bands, to corporate and advertising work.

I love to read your feedback through the comments underneath each post.
It's really easy to add your thoughts. You don't need to open an
account or register, just click 'add a comment', type in the box and
click "submit". Happy browsing :.)

Spring is here! My crocuses are in bloom.

It’s March 1st and spring has come on cue, what a gorgeous day! My crocuses (or should that be croci?) agree; here they are in full bloom enjoying the sun.

Prom Event Photos

Here’s a slideshow of a few event photos from Prom evening in Bromley, Kent. I started off the evening with couple and group portraits as well as some more natural reportage photos. Later in the evening I didn’t have to persuade anyone up on to the dance floor, they were all more than happy making shapes well into the night!

Helen & Adam’s Wedding | Horsley Towers

Helen and Adam had a beautiful winter wedding at Horsley Towers in Surrey. We had a lovely crisp winter’s day, with blue skies and gorgeous light. A few of my favourites…

I love to capture all the details at a wedding. The combination of beautiful shoes, window sill and golden winter light all came together in the photo below, perfect!

(The sun burst was done in camera by the way, no photoshop required! Email me if you’d like to know the technique.)

Lindsay & Brian’s Wedding | Epsom Downs

A lovely winter wedding at Epsom Downs Race course in Surrey. Lindsay & Brian got married in the Queen’s Stand, lovely venue and fantastic views over the snowy race course. Special mention must go to Fergus, Lindsay’s brother for the music during the signing of the register, absolutely brilliant, and everyone was joining in the sing-song. You’ll see Lindsay and Brian laughing during the signing below. Everyone was enjoying it so much that the registrar had to quieten us all and remind us that the witnesses need to come and sign too, otherwise the marriage wouldn’t be legal!

When I suggested a walk through the snow to get some photos with the lovely golden sunset in the background I was expecting an “are you joking?!”. Instead, Lindsay lifted her dress and walked through the snow in open toed shoes to get the shot, thanks guys!

We know who’s number 1 in this marriage… Brian politely went and stood by “2nd”!

Snow!

I wondered what everyone oop north was talking about when the said they were snowed in and couldn’t get to work. Now it’s moved down to us I can see what they’re talking about!

View of my local park:

The view from my office. Unfortunately as I work from home everyday I don’t really have an excuse not to do anything!
