My wedding photography business is marked by excellence, expertise, and a unique approach. As an award-winning WPJA wedding photojournalist, ranked 4th in the UK, 16th in Europe, and 20th globally, I capture love stories authentically. With 18 years of experience and over 450 weddings documented, I anticipate moments and immortalise them in timeless imagery. Eschewing posed shots, I focus on candid, soulful moments that resonate with genuine emotions. My dedication to authenticity ensures that each photograph reflects the true spirit of the occasion, creating cherished memories that last a lifetime.

My business stands as a beacon of excellence in the world of wedding photography, distinguished by a blend of expertise, experience, and a unique approach that sets me apart from the rest of the industry. As an award-winning WPJA (Wedding Photojournalist Association) wedding photojournalist, my accolades speak volumes about the quality and authenticity of my work. Ranking 4th in the UK, 16th in Europe, and 20th globally is a testament to my skill and dedication in capturing the essence of love stories with unparalleled finesse.

With 18 years of experience under my belt and over 450 weddings documented, I possess a wealth of expertise that few can rival. Each wedding I photograph adds to my depth of understanding, allowing me to anticipate moments before they unfold and immortalize them in timeless imagery. My journey through countless ceremonies, receptions, and intimate moments has honed my craft to perfection, making me a master storyteller through the lens.

What truly sets my business apart, however, is not just my technical prowess, but my philosophy towards wedding photography. My commitment to authenticity shines through in every image I capture. Eschewing posed shots and artificial setups, I opt instead for candid, unscripted moments that reflect the genuine emotions and interactions of the day. This approach not only sets my work apart aesthetically but also ensures that each photograph resonates with the true spirit of the occasion.

My style is characterized by its soulfulness, capturing not just the events of the day but the emotions that underpin them. From the nervous excitement of the bride getting ready to the heartfelt speeches and spontaneous laughter, my images are imbued with a depth and sincerity that transport viewers back to the moment itself. By allowing the wedding day to belong to the couple and their guests rather than imposing myself as the focal point, I create a narrative that is uniquely theirs.

Moreover, my dedication to preserving the authenticity of each wedding extends beyond the photographs themselves. My approach is one of collaboration and respect, working closely with couples to understand their vision and preferences while offering guidance and expertise where needed. By building a rapport based on trust and understanding, I create an environment where couples feel comfortable being themselves, resulting in photographs that are not just beautiful but deeply personal.

In a saturated market where wedding photographers abound, it is the integrity and excellence of my services that truly distinguish my business. My commitment to authenticity, coupled with my unparalleled expertise and experience, ensures that each couple who entrusts their special day to me receives not just photographs, but cherished memories that will last a lifetime. As I continue to innovate and inspire, my legacy as one of the world's foremost wedding photojournalists is sure to endure for years to come.

Ian is the final piece in the puzzle for your wedding. Everytime we look at our album we are taken straight back to our amazing day, feeling, tasting, smelling and being there over and over again. Speechless. In the best possible way. Thank You So Much. Jen & Greg, The Woods.

My husband and I chose Ian Bursill Photography as we wanted a non intrusive, but intimate record of our wedding day. Ian gave a very professional, flexible sevice, adapting to the shifting timings on the day. The finished products, in the form of an album and DVD of photographs, were exceptional. I would highly recommend Ian Bursill Photography to others and will request his services for future events.

We never wanted stiff, formal, posed photography for our wedding & instead we got exactly what we wanted- amazing unobtrusive photos that we can't even remember being taken. Ian helped to make our wedding day an amazing experience & the photos reflect that every time we look at them.

A superb wedding photographer, couldn't have asked for anything more. Photographs were fantastic as was service. Ian was so unobtrusive on the wedding day, we barely knew he was there! Would definitely recommend.
Ian Woolley
Ian's photography of our wedding was fantastic. Looking through the photo's afterwards we kept saying, when did he take that shot! The album that its presented in in first class and everybody who was there comment on how it captures the day perfectly. I recommend Ina to everybody that needs a photographer.
Owen Burdekin
Ian's photography is of the very highest quality. Because of his very subtle presence at our wedding, he was able to capture some moments that other photographers would have missed. He is a joy to deal with, and I can't recommend him highly enough.
Irene Smith
I honestly do not remember what Ian did on the rainy and gloomy december morning when my husband and i got married. But one thing for sure, Ian did one heck of a job with his camera. Our wedding photos is superb as in result and quality. He captured us and our guess arriving in the rain and make it look very cheerful as if the rain was intended to make the occasion look better.
Jessica Verity
Ian photographed our wedding and worked with us from months before-hand up until when we got back from honeymoon to make sure that we got all of the snaps that we wanted and that we were happy with his work. He stayed longer than we expected him to on the day so that he could capture more special moments and was a pleasure to work with. Not to mention that he has got a great eye for the perfect shot and manages to capture the moment perfectly. He is very talented and reasonably priced - I'd definitely recommend him.

Ian Bursill Photography produced wonderful photos and album of our wedding day in 2007. Ian worked closely with us and made having our photos taken on the day a joy - and not the pain it can be for you and your guests! I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Ian to anyone who wants amazing photos of their special day! .
Georgina Turner
Ian photographed our civil partnership ceremony and reception, accommodating all our requests and coming up with some beautiful pictures. Friendly, personal service that I wish I had an excuse to use again!
Mel Atkinson
Ian photographed my wedding in March 2008 and he really captured the spirit of the day. We gave him free rein to take candid shots and he exceeded our high expectations - judging from some of the pics, he's got some kind of invisibility device! Ian is a real people person - he took lots of time before the wedding to find out about our needs and he was lovely and inobtrusive on the day. I can't recommend him highly enough - he's lightyears ahead of those starchy wedding photographers you usually see. Mel Atkinson and Heather Lomas.

Ian photographed our wedding in August 2007 in Cambridge. We were incredibly impressed with Ian's preparation, style and our final album. We met with Ian before our wedding and discussed the plan for the day, the type of pictures we wanted and the setting. This was invaluable and enabled Ian to ensure that he had special lighting equipment to take photographs in the candlelit hall where we had our evening meal and riverside shots of our departure at night. We asked for a few traditional group photographs but really wanted natural journalistic shots capturing and telling the story of our wedding day. Ian's style was entirely unobtrusive and our guests later told us that they did not notice most of the photographs being taken. We did not want to have a photographer who dominated the proceedings and limited the time we could spend with our guests - Ian ensured that this did not happen. Ian involved us throughout the design of the album and was happy to make the small changes we wanted and to remind us of the various options available. We actually chose to extend our album by an extra ten pages so that we could show the photographs off to their best effect. The ease of ordering additional pictures to frame or give as presents was also appreciated. Our photographs are spectacular and really distinctive. Ian has an excellent eye for framing the images and selecting shots which are fresh and exciting. Some of our photographs are truly world class and our friends continue to congratulate us on them.Moreexpand_more

Ian Bursill photography carried out wedding photo's. Ian was a real pleasure to work with. Prior to our wedding he took time to understand our requirements and on the day he struck the perfect balance of ensuring we got the pictures we wanted without disrupting guests and the atmosphere of the day. We were exceptionally pleased with the album that he created and felt he had captured our day perfectly. I would not hesitate to recommend him. He also carried out test photo's prior to the wedding which again we were very pleased with.
