About

Firstly, I'd like to thank you for visiting my page, Anthony Ives Photography

I'm Anthony, a wedding photographer based in Preston, Lancashire, who provides wedding photography to the UK.

Building a relationship with you allows me to personalise your wedding day. I feel it is just as important for you to get to know me as it is for me to get to know you. So here it is: a little about me.

I have always been a keen photographer, even from an early age. I grew up in Lancashire, originally from Blackpool, but now living in Preston. Having my own children has made me realise just how quickly time passes by and how important it is to create photographs that provide lasting memories of special moments.

My style is somewhat documentary, which allows me to create real, natural moments that tell a story.

What does this mean?

I won't be asking you to hold poses for hours on the biggest day of your life. I won't be asking you to stare into the lens. In fact, I won't be asking you to do much at all. The experience will be unobtrusive and natural. You won't even know I'm there!

This tells a bigger story in your photographs. Treasured moments that last for a lifetime!

I preserve real moments for you to look back on in years to come.

Amazing, amazing, amazing!!

Anthony, where do I even start?! If you’re looking for a wedding photographer then you have to book Anthony. From our first initial meeting, right through to the weeks before our wedding we knew he was the person we wanted to do our wedding photos, so much so that we actually changed our wedding date and venue with only 6 months notice and checked with Anthony first to see what dates he was available as we didn’t want to loose him as our photographer. We wanted a photographer that would capture us and our guests ‘in the moment.’ Apart from a few posed pictures which we requested with immediate family, off Anthony went throughout the day and worked his magic. He captured some of the smallest, yet most memorable moments of our day which would have been forgotten or missed if it had not been captured. His attention to detail was second to non and our wedding album is just a dream. He captured our day so perfectly and we are so grateful for everything he did. I’m not completely comfortable in-front of the camera but Anthony put us at ease and it was natural for us. Anthony not only was a photographer but it was truly like having an extra wedding guest with us throughout the day (we even roped him into having a shot with us haha!!) He knew how to bring the good vibes and we loved having him as part of our big day! If only we could do it again! Thank you for being so amazing and for capturing every detail of our day, from the big moments to the smallest moments. You are amazing at what you do! X x x

Anthony could not have been more perfect..

Choosing a photographer was so important to us, not just for the amazing pictures but because we wanted to have someone we were relaxed and ourselves around while spending so much time together on such a special day, and he was the perfect fit! Such a talented guy who has captured our day perfectly, we will treasure the pictures forever and we can't thank him enough. He's professional with his work and so friendly. All of our guests have commented on how lovely he was and he was truly a pleasure to "work" with. We now call him our Bonus Guest, because it was so lovely to share the day together. Thank you so much Anthony for not just capturing our day beautifully but for adding to the whole experience by being you! We are so glad we found you and we could not recommend any more!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
