A passed out guest on the floor to kids pulling funny faces at the perfectly wrong moments are not what we associate with wedding photography.

With his debut exhibition taking place at the Martin Parr Foundation at the end of the month -- coinciding with the launch of a new book co-published by the foundation and RRB PhotoBooks -- Ian's new series, simultaneously titled I am Not A Wedding Photographer, is by no doubt set to shine some light on the traditional genre.
