County Durham & Darlington Wedding Photography
About Us
Hi There! Thanks for visiting Ian Sanderson photography
Firstly, let me introduce myself. I’m Ian Sanderson, a photographer based in Shildon, County Durham. A sleeply little town located between Bishop Auckland and Newton Aycliffe and just a shortt hop between both Durham and Darlington..
Together with my wife, Sarah. We aim to capture wedding photography in a relaxed and easy-going manner.
I feel it’s important to realise that no other aspect of your wedding day will last as long as your wedding photography. If done right, you will be enjoying those photographs for the rest of your life.
In addition to Wedding and event photography, I also have a passion for landscape photography, so by all means visit my Landscape photography gallery and my new Wildlife Photography page

When it comes to choosing a wedding photographer in Durham, it's important to do your research. Look for a photographer with a portfolio that matches your style and vision for your wedding. Make sure to ask about their experience, pricing, and availability. And don't forget to read reviews and testimonials from previous clients to get a sense of their professionalism and quality of work.
One of the benefits of working with a local wedding photographer in Durham is their knowledge of the area. They'll know the best locations for photoshoots, as well as any logistical challenges that may arise. They may also have connections with local vendors, such as florists and makeup artists, that can help make your wedding day even more special.
“You don’t make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.”
Ansel Adams

"Ian was our wedding photographer on August 2nd. He was absolutely perfect. He thoroughly researched and visited our venue to get the perfect pictures. On the day he fit right in and made everyone comfortable and laugh. He was extremely hard working and did everything he could for us. The communication after the wedding day regarding our photos was fantastic, he was constantly giving us updates and answering any questions quickly. Our photos arrived yesterday and they are gorgeous. Honestly could not recommend him more. Thank you so much from myself and Nathan!!"
