Yorkshire Portraits Doncaster Wedding Photographer-Contemporary Wedding Photography in Doncaster, Yorkshire & the UK
Paris is one of the most exciting, glamourous and lets not forget romantic cities in the world. These images are from a selection of my personal portfolio which combine my passion for photography with my love of travel. These images were taken using a Nikon D3 with a standard 50mm 1.4 prime lens.
I enjoy meeting couples before the big day and we always have a great time during the informal pre wedding shoots – Nigel and Johanna’s was no exception. The photo session took place in the idyllic hamlet of Wiseton, just outside Bawtry., Doncaster Due to thick snow and fog I had to abandon my car and having become stranded, I was rescued by the lovely couple! The winter weather really made these images look special. I’m looking forward to photographing their wedding day in July, which will provide a spectacular contrast between these photos. I can’t wait!

Wow! What a day. Thankyou for digging your way out and taking these fantastic pics. We had a great time and appologise for making you push the car out of the snow and jumping in whilst it was still moving!
Hi Johanna. At least come July, we’ll be baking in a beautiful summer (fingers crossed!) instead of what feels like being in the middle of the ice Age!! We’ll reproduce the engagement shoot on the day in exactly the same location as this. I have some funky ideas which i’ll tell you about when me meet up again! Phil 
Hi Phil,
Met with Nigel & Johanna this afternoon to plan their wedding service. I tried hard to put them off using you as their wedding photographer but for some strange reason they reckon you’re a really great guy! Can’t think why!
Best wishes, Paul
Hahaha!!! I knew where the wedding reception was – a beautiful venue over the border in Notts. It had slipped my mind, however, that prior to this, they’d have to rough it with yourself during the ceremony in Hatfield!!! Joking aside, they’re a fantastic couple – and they are lucky enough to have the top vicar to town!!!! Phil

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous..(not referring to me obviously:-)
Snow, snow and more snow formed the backdrop to Gemma and Adam’s wedding reception which I photographed at Mount Pleasant, Doncaster . The wedding ceremony took place at one of my favourite churches, St Lawrence’s Church, Hatfield, Doncaster. Architecturally the church is impressive and provided a fantastic setting for their wedding photography. The church also has an interesting history filled with intrigue, which added to the atmosphere of the big day .
The Reverend Paul Wilson carried out the wedding service. I have always found his services to be full of humour and love and this occasion was no exception, he made the ceremony personal and memorable for the bride and groom. Paul is also a great photographer in his own right.
As Gemma & Adam walked down the aisle as husband and wife, they were met with one of the heaviest blizzards in living memory, as they left the church! The reception was held at the Mount Pleasant Hotel, a journey which ordinarily takes only 10 minutes, took 45 minutes due to the weather. On arrival at Mount Pleasant everyone was served wine and cocktails which soon warmed up the wedding party!
Gemma & Adam were fantastic clients to work with, and both looked truly beautiful throughout the day. Thank you for letting me photograph and capture your big day, a short collection of my favourite photos can be found below.

Hi Bernice. Thanks for your comment, and I’m glad it was of help to you. If you need any more information, just let me know. Phil
After reading you site, Your site is very useful for me .I bookmarked your site!
Beautiful use of light once again Phil.
Thank you for capturing our day so brilliantly! We cannot wait to see the album now x
Britain’s coldest winter for 3o years, made for challenging weather conditions when photographing Simon and Holly’s wedding on the 3rd January 2010 at Ye Olde Bell Hotel, Retford. With a mixture of rain and sleet and a temperature of -1c, Holly and Simon still had a fantastic day to remember. My clients gave me the flexibility to photograph unplanned which I love -this enabled me to capture the relationships and interactions of the family and guests in addition to the bride and groom, on what was a memorable and emotional wedding day. Ye Olde Bell Hotel is a beautiful old building and Holly and Simon looked stunning throughout the wedding, and they never stopped laughing all day long! Thank you both for allowing me the opportunity to commemorate your special day.
