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.

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

Sunday, January 24, 2010 12:31 pm

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…

Billy & Ruth, Church of St. James, Little Dalby

Monday, June 1, 2009 10:45 pm

A beautiful day in between a few light showers at Little Dalby near Melton Mowbray on May 16th for the wedding of Billy & Ruth. I’m not ashamed to day I got a little emotional by the fantastic rendition of “What A Wonderful World” by a girls’ choir during the signing of the register! The reception in a marquee at a local farm saw the wedding guests entertained by the best band I’ve ever seen at a wedding – Madhen, check out their website, they are awesome! A selection of my favourites from the day to tell an abridged story of the day…

Helter Skelter

Saturday, September 6, 2008 12:22 am

With my summer being so busy with all of the weddings and the work afterwards, I tend to get really slack about processsing my personal stuff. I’m making an effort this week to process some shots of the kids. This particular shot was taken back in May of this year and is of my eldest daughter Neve at Quorn Park in Leicestershire one Sunday morning. I love the vibrant colours, the shapes and the way that the spiral staircase leads you in to the subject walking up and seeing Dad at the top with that bloomin’ Nikon camera again!
