Short Clips, Real Moments

Fancy a bit of movement to go with your photos? My Video Content Creation Add-On is ideal if you love the thought of video but don’t need the whole production. All through your wedding day, I’ll capture short, natural clips alongside your photography—little bursts of laughter, hugs, and those blink-and-you’ll-miss-them moments that bring everything to life.

They’re brilliant for sharing with family and friends, posting on socials, or just reliving those “that was us” feelings whenever you like. Think of it as a modern extra to your wedding collection—simple, natural, and full of heart.

CAPTURING YOUR LAUGHTER, YOUR NERVES AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.

DOCUMENTARY YORKSHIRE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER COVERING THE UK & EUROPE

STRESS-FREE & FUN WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY!

Hey, I’m Phil!

I’m a Yorkshire wedding photographer with over 20 years’ experience and more than 500 weddings behind me. My style is relaxed, natural and documentary-led — perfect if you’d rather spend your day sipping champagne, laughing with guests, and dancing like nobody’s watching instead of posing stiffly for the camera.

At home near Sherwood Forest, life is a mix of family, caffeine and chaos! My six-year-old son Albert keeps me humble by correcting my Minecraft mistakes, while our ADHD Border Collie and teddy-bear-bully Barnaby ensure the house is never quiet. Add a slight addiction to double chocolate mochas (and the occasional Honey Bourbon on a non-school night), and you’ve got the full picture!

Your wedding photos should feel alive — full of atmosphere, people and moments you’ll never forget. If you’re after stylish, authentic images and a calm presence behind the camera, you’ve probably just found your photographer.

Documenting YOUR wedding day, authentically

Whether it’s your gran giving you a massive hug, the laughs and tears with your nearest and dearest, or the lovely little details you’ve spent what seems like years planning – I’ll catch the lot for you, don’t you worry!

I’ll make you both feel comfortable in front of the camera, even if you are reading this right now and thinking “I’d rather run for the hill than be photographed” – It’s my job to make sure that not just the two of you, but your whole wedding party feel relaxed and have the best time!

    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.
