It’s a great feeling when clients love your work, and put their total trust in you – as a result, Donna & Adam gave me free rein over how I photographed their wedding day – they simply let me capture their day in my own style. I had actually met them (and photographed them!) at two previous weddings; last Christmas I had photographed Adam’s sister’s wedding, and a couple of years earlier, I’d captured his cousin’s wedding. I almost feel part of the family now!
Following an intimate family wedding service in the small North Lincolnshire village of Belton, the wedding party headed over to Doncaster Racecourse in Yorkshire to celebrate.
Doncaster racecourse has so many unique aspects to it, from the ultra modern all-seater grandstand through to the 19th century terraced grandstand, and the world famous straight mile of the St Leger Classic.
Donna & Adam were a real pleasure to work with. Thank you for asking me to capture your big day! Here are some of my favourite photographs from the wedding.

Thanks Phil, I absolutely love the photos!
The single biggest worry I had about the wedding was not whether the groom would turn up or if the weather would be nice, it was the photos as these are the lasting memory of any ones big day.
As Phil has already mentioned he had already captured the big days of some of Adams family so I knew he was up to the job, but me and Adam aren’t the most photogenic people. Adam has a tendency to pull his infamous funeral face and I always manage to blink or pull a goofy smile, so Phil definitely had his work cut out
I had such a fun time especially with the lift closing every time you went to take a photo it made my day and I have some fantastic memories to boot.
Hi Donna, THANK-YOU so much for those lovely comments. It was an absolute pleasure; as it has always been photographing the various weddings connected with you and Adam’s family! PS Not photogenic?? Just have another look at the photos – you look simply stunning, as everybody has said on Facebook!!!! See you soon, Phil
