Ivan Packer - Southampton Wedding Photographer

Welcome to my website and thank you for visiting. Couples choose me for my reputation for making people feel relaxed in front of the camera. This creates a stylish, natural documentary of your wedding day that you will cherish for a lifetime.

I undertake only a limited number of wedding photography commissions each year so that you receive 100% of my time and attention.

The Portfolio page includes a small gallery containing examples of photographs from recent weddings, and shows how relaxed couples are when I photograph them and how much they enjoy having me do their wedding photography. Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event so I understand that it has done correctly and in the manner that you want, and deserve.

Please also visit my Blog which has further examples of some of the weddings I have photographed as well as some useful hints and tips to help make planning your wedding a little easier. Please see the Questions page for more information.

I take pride in concentrating on photographing not only the important people and individual events during the day, but also the very special details such as the wedding party's outfits, the ceremony venue, the table settings, the favours, the flowers... the list is almost endless. I want to ensure that the months that you have spent choosing just the right pieces of your wedding don't go by unnoticed.

The Feedback page shows some of the lovely comments I have received from couples, some of whom have become close friends.

For your reassurance in the level of my professionalism I am a member of the Society of Wedding & Portrait Photographers (SWPP), and Canon Professional Services (CPS). I photograph using 2 professional digital cameras, and all photographs are individually processed by me and can be converted from colour to black & white if required.

It is not just Hampshire in which I do wedding and civil partnership photography; in the past 2 seasons I have photographed couples across the south of the UK taking me as far afield as Bristol, Devon and Kent. I have previously lived in Kent & Bristol so it is always great to return.
