DOCUMENTARY YORKSHIRE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER COVERING THE UK & EUROPE

STRESS-FREE BEAUTIFUL UNPOSED PHOTOGRAPHY

The very first wedding day that I photographed was way back in 2004. I have learnt so much since then and mastered my craft by photographing unique once-in-a-lifetime weddings across Yorkshire, the UK and mainland Europe. I will 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 500 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 to 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.

If you want your wedding day to be one LONG photoshoot, you might want to choose another photographer

What about our group shots? Will they go on for hours? They will be beautiful, but will only take (on average) 5 minutes! 6 weeks or so before your wedding day, you’ll receive a nice little questionnaire from me. It’ll include lots of little details that you can pass on to me – this will make your wedding day run like clockwork! Included in the questions will be a request for a list of key people that you’d like to capture – when your big day comes around, you won’t have to be scratching your head, and getting stressed about who needs to be where!

Natural documentary wedding photography

As a documentary wedding photographer, I like to photograph an ecliptic mix of everything throughout your day. Your wedding won’t be some fancy photoshoot where you’re posed like a model all day. It’s about the two of you celebrating your love with all your favourite people, doing things that you want and your way. I’ll be there to tell your story as it happens – photographing the genuine laughs, tears, and beautiful moments, exactly as they unfold – you can see this in my wedding photography across my website – real emotions, and authentic details.

My Wedding Photography Style

Natural, Relaxed and Stress-free Photography

From my 20 years of experience, I’ve developed a 6th sense about what is going to happen at a given time during a wedding. That could be Grandma tearing up during your vows, or Uncle Terry falling over on the dancefloor. I guarantee you won’t be aware of 99% of the photos that I take during your day! I love to watch and learn about the chemistry that develops between your guests and tell the story for you.
