Ian Bursill Photography bio picture

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my blog site.

I am a documentary wedding photographer based in Loughborough, Leicestershire and a fully active member of the international organisation the WPJA - Wedding Photojournalist Association. I shoot weddings in a documentary style with no intervention or intrusion (apart from a few formals if requested) enabling my clients and their guests to get on enjoy their day without worrying about the photography taking over.

I shoot digitally, working with professional Nikon D3 cameras and lenses. 99% of my images are captured without the use of a flash, preferring to utilise the beauty of natural light. This also enables me to remain very unobtrusive at weddings.

What’s in a name?

Unfortunately quite a lot at the moment if you are my friend and fellow photographer David Calvert.

Recent stories run in the national daily press have suggested that Jon Venables (who was convicted of murdering Jamie Bulger) is now going by the name of David Calvert. Since then David’s photography site has had over 50,000 hits. Normally I’d be thrilled that his site is so popular, but at the moment he is obviously very concerned.

As his colleague I am doing all I can to help David disassociate himself from this dreadful story. He is in no way related to David Calvert of Fleetwood, who has also been highlighted in the press and is in no way connected to the tragic case of Jamie Bulger.

David, 46, is a national award winning photographer and his business David Calvert Photography, based in Hertfordshire, specialises in family and child portraiture. David has my complete support in these difficult circumstances and I hope very much that they pass without impact to him, his own family or his business.

David and Helen, Rothley Court Wedding – Leicestershire, New Year’s Eve 2009

Images from my final wedding of 2009 – David and Helen – which was held on New Year’s Eve at Rothley Court in Leicestershire. Luckily the wedding took place before the recent cold snap & snow that we have all been subjected to here in the UK, and the low winter light on the day was beautiful. A selection of images from the day are below as per usual…
