Leicester Wedding Photographer Ian Bursill bio picture

Welcome…

WPJA "UK Wedding Photojournalist of the Year" 2009

I am a documentary wedding photographer based in Loughborough, Leicestershire and a fully active member of the international organisation the WPJA - The Wedding Photojournalist Association. I am also a member of the ISPWP - International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers.

I am the current WPJA "UK Wedding Photojournalist of the Year" 2009 and also finished third in the worldwide WPJA "Wedding Photographer of the Year 2009" competition. No other UK photographer has ever finished in the top 3 before.

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.

John & Daniella, St Michael and All Angels’ Church, Cosby

Thursday, September 4, 2008 11:45 pm

Cosby, South Leicestershire was the location for my August 16th wedding. The bride was my neice, Daniella and she married John at St.Michael and All Angels’ Church followed by a reception a few doors down the road at Bunning Hall. I have to admit that it was difficult keeping focussed while shooting this wedding, because of the style of ‘fly on the wall’ photography I shoot and the fact that so many people knew me and wanted to chat to me during the day, but I’m happy with the results! I’ve broken my normal 8 shot rule for telling the story of the day and have included 10 below. From now on I will include 10 from each wedding.
