The artwork
What your guests take home.
Real customer artworks — including our effect range, which is included with every wedding.
Not sweets in a jar. Not a personalised bottle opener. On your wedding day we photograph your guests’ irises in extraordinary detail — and every one of them goes home with a piece of artwork that exists nowhere else in the world, because no two eyes have ever been the same.
Check your dateDrinks reception, the gap before dinner, the lull after speeches. Guests drift over, watch each other’s eyes appear on screen, and end up queuing to have theirs done. It becomes the thing people talk about at the table.
Grandparents, children, the friend who hates having their photograph taken — nobody has to pose or perform. It takes about two minutes, sitting down, and everyone leaves with something genuinely their own.
Every person photographed receives their full-resolution artwork by private link. If they’d like it framed or on acrylic they can order it themselves, in their own time — but there is never any pressure or obligation to.
The setup is quiet, dark and intimate, and it gives your photographer something unusual to shoot: faces lit by the screen, people leaning in, the small moment of surprise when someone sees their own eye for the first time.
Travel included within 50 miles of Bournemouth. Artistic effects and everyone’s digital files come as standard.

A £200 deposit secures your date, with the balance due four weeks before the wedding. Your price is fixed at the moment you book — however far ahead that is. Venues beyond 50 miles are very welcome: add £50 up to 80 miles, £120 up to 120, and anything further we’ll quote honestly. Larger weddings, just ask.
Alongside your guests’ artwork, we can create a single piece from both of your irises together — side by side, merged, or with one of our artistic effects. It hangs as a record of the day that nobody else on earth could own, and it makes an extraordinary first anniversary gift.

About two minutes in the chair, a little longer if they want to look properly. Over a full day there is easily time for fifty people without anyone feeling rushed.
Nothing touches the eye and there are no drops of any kind. Guests sit and look towards a soft light while we photograph from a short distance. There is no harsh flash. Children who can sit still usually love it, and it is completely fine for people who wear contact lenses.
Very little: a small table, a power socket and a corner away from direct sunlight. A side room, snug or quiet end of a bar is ideal. We are self-contained otherwise, and we set up before guests arrive.
Each guest or couple gets a private link to download their own full-resolution artwork, within a few days. Prints, framed pieces and acrylics can be ordered from that same page, delivered directly to them.
Not at all. Their digital artwork is included in what you have paid, and it is theirs to keep and print wherever they like. Ordering anything further is entirely their choice.
Nobody is ever pressed. Guests come over if they want to, and we ask each person’s permission before we photograph and before their image is used for anything at all.
Travel is included within 50 miles of Bournemouth. Beyond that it is £50 up to 80 miles and £120 up to 120 miles. Further afield we quote individually, and for the longest journeys we may add a night’s accommodation at cost so we arrive fresh and set up in good time. Ferries, tolls and congestion charges are passed on at cost, never marked up.
Yes — we carry £5 million of public liability cover, and we’re happy to send your venue our certificate on request. Most venues ask for it, so we usually send it across as soon as you book.
A £200 deposit holds the date, with the balance due four weeks before the wedding. Your price is fixed from the day you book, however far ahead the wedding is.
