These photographs were captured at the beautiful summer wedding of Fiona and Kev. The ceremony was held at Flaxby Church in Leicester and the reception and wedding breakfast were held at Shearsby Bath. This was a perfect day with bright sunshine until the early evening, however, the bride was even more dazzling and coupled with a handsome groom and a fantastic location, what more could a photographer wish for!
Although I did have one small problem during the day, the vicar would not allow me to take any photographs during the wedding ceremony. He even put a elderly parishioner next to me to ensure that I complied with his request. I’ve never encountered this issue in over 100 weddings, even though I explained I don’t use flash and I’m not intrusive during the service. In order to capture some essential shots the three of us ran back in after the service whilst the vicar was out and recreated the service ourselves!
I’ll be meeting up with Fiona and Kev at least twice over the next twelve months, as they have recommended me to two of their friends, who have since made reservations.
Some of my favourite photographs from the day can been seen above.

Well what can we say….Phil, Yorkshire Portraits was the most amazing photographer that we could have wished for on our perfect day. We have nothing but praise for him, he really is fantastic. Friends of mine have been that impressed by his work that they have already booked him for their big day! A wonderful man, a wonderful photographer. Phil, we will be eternally grateful for our beautiful album. Thank you with love from Mr&Mrs Espin xxxxx
