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.
