Kerry and Jon’s Sutton Bonington, Leicestershire Wedding

It was back to top Leicestershire Wedding Venue, the superb Sutton Bonington Hall for the wedding of Jon & Kerry. The threat of missing England’s quarter final appearance in the world cup against Argentina never materialised thanks to their woeful efforts in South Africa and never actually making it that far. It wouldn’t have been a problem anyway as the day was simply fantastic and far more entertaining than any England football match.

The day started at Kerry’s parents’ house with the bridal preparations. Kerry had an amazing pair of shoes courtesy of Shoes by Gina. Hair was by Guy who works at Indy Hair in Leicester and make up provided by Leicestershire make-up artist Femi. A terrific vehicle was provided by Nottingham Wedding Car Hire company Ivory Cars, a beauty from their fleet called Daisy; a 1928 Daimler Hooper Tourer and the only one of its kind on the road in the UK.

After the service which was held at St Michael’s Church the guests walked 300 yards down the road to Sutton Bonington Hall for the reception, while Kerry & Jon took off for a 15 minute spin in the Daimler. The flowers for the day were provided by Leicestershire Florist Flowers by Sarah of Quorn.

Matt - Absolutely stunning shots Ian. I find it fascinating that you can, from your photographs, tell the wedding day story. Utterly brilliant and compelling. I love the partial reflection of the bride shot (5); she looks wonderful (and reminds me of Kate Beckinsale — Beautiful!) Some of the expressions you have captured are extraordinary. What timing! As for some of the other shots they are art pieces. I mean the boy on the chair (8) is timeless. Well done, they are fabulous!August 3, 2010 – 7:31 am

David - Wow! Fantastic as always… You always seem to capture the moments beautifully and in such a natural way. Another great collection of shots.August 3, 2010 – 9:19 am

Rebecca & James’s Loughborough, Leicestershire Wedding

A terrific day in Loughborough recently for the blessing of Rebecca & James at Emmanuel Church in Loughborough. James is currently serving in the armed forces and the couple are now based over in Germany. They married in a UK registry office ceremony in December 2009 but decided to come back home again for a full church blessing, along with a full reception for close friends and family in late Spring 2010.

The day started with hair styled by Deni at Glitz Hair Design in Loughborough, before moving on to Rebecca’s mum’s for the bridal preparations. Rebecca’s son Ethan (6) did her proud walking her down the aisle at the church in full military dress and after the service Bride, Groom and myself sneaked away for 15 minutes for some portraits at Charnwood Water before rejoining the guests at The Cedars Hotel for the afternoon & evening celebrations. Local band The Fixx entertained with a blistering set which had the floor filled from the opening song of their first set. A selection of favourite images by Leicester Wedding Photographer Ian Bursill are below…

Alison and David’s East Leake, Leicestershire Wedding

A beautifully sunny day for the wedding of Alison & David at St. Mary’s Church in East Leake, Leicestershire. After the service, the reception was held in a marquee at the home of the bride’s parents. Flowers on the day were provided by The Flower Shop of East Leake, catering by The Fiona Herbert Catering Company Ltd, and the great indie covers band from Loughborough called Indio Black provided a lively end to the day’s celebrations with a storming set to get everyone up on to the dance floor.
