Spontaneous Wedding Photos Taken By A Non-Wedding Photographer Are Hilarious
Ian Weldon is a wedding photographer who... isn't a wedding photographer. According to his website, Weldon's idea is that wedding photos have become too staged and boring. A wedding photographer who spends the day bossing people around and demanding to get dozens of photos of different combinations of people, is a wedding photographer who is missing all the special parts of the day; the laughter, the dancing and the free alcohol.
What’s more; the wedding guests will have spent more of the day posing than actually enjoying themselves. And all that will be to show for it, is a marriage certificate and a bunch of forced, boring pictures.
Weldon takes unbiased and natural photos of the special day! To quote his website:
"I’m completely unbiased in the photographs I make. A sort of photographic democracy where one photograph is no more important than any other. Where all things are equal, people the same as objects. Emotion and gesture and dancing and wine and door knobs and fancy lights and funny faces and shoes will all be treated the same. Those things are yours on your day, and it all means something to you."The resulting photos are beautiful!
(Though you may want to have someone on hand to take some staged pictures, too. Lucky everyone has a high quality camera in the pocket!)
Wedding photos should truly capture the day; and not have your memories tainted by standing awkwardly in a line for ten minutes while you wait for the sun to come out.
Relatable.
Posed pictures are overrated.

Getting ready is a complex affair.
100% would rather accurate pictures of the day, than having to pose for hours on end grimacing.
How I feel looking at regular wedding photos compared with these.
If you ever forget to get your outfit pressed beforehand; no worries! Now your embarrassment has been immortalised forever!
Not your typical wedding dip pictures...

The most memorable part of weddings is always the food.
