DOCUMENTARY YORKSHIRE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER COVERING THE UK & EUROPE

STRESS-FREE BEAUTIFUL UNPOSED PHOTOGRAPHY

Hi, I’m Phil. I specialise in elopements and weddings, capturing love stories with creativity and heart, whether between the walls of a Roman villa, along bustling city streets of Leeds, deep in the woods or along the spectacular coastline. For every couple, from every corner of the world.

I promise to document your day exactly how you would like to be photographed; unobtrusively and with as little posing as possible.

I’ve been lucky enough to photograph weddings over 600 times – the length and breadth of the UK and Europe and have been a family photographer for over 4000 beautiful sessions.

I’ve always held that ethos and it holds to this very day.

I don’t just photograph weddings in Yorkshire!

I am very proud of my Yorkshire roots – I was born and bred in Doncaster, South Yorkshire. I worked as a police officer for many years. Due to my distinctive name, I didn’t want my ‘customers’ at the time to track me down – that’s why ‘Yorkshire Portraits” was born! When I first started photographing weddings, 100% were in Yorkshire, now it’s around 40%! I photograph all over the United Kingdom along with destination weddings. This includes Italy, France and Ireland in Europe and as far away as Philadelphia in the USA.
