Andrea & Scott {Engaged}

Phil Shillitoe — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 15:36:26 +0000

On average, clients tend to book me for their wedding photography around 6-12 months before their wedding date. Andrea & Scott, however, booked me over 2 years ago, so it was great to photograph them both together at long last for their pre-wedding shoot!

The location for the session meant a lot to Scott in particular, as it was where his late beloved grandad lived, just outside Doncaster in Owston Ferry. Andrea was so nervous about the shoot, but after a couple of minutes she was more than fine, and started to dare i say it, ‘love’ the camera!

Some of my favorite photographs from their pre wedding session can be seen below :-

In less than 6 weeks, I’ll be photographing Andrea & Scott again at their autumnal wedding at one of Doncaster’s premier wedding venues, Mount Pleasant Hotel

Jo + Stu {Engaged)

Jo & Stu tie the knot on the edge of beautiful Ullswater in the Lake District next April at the Sharrow Bay Hotel. For regular readers of my blog, you’ll remember the beautiful wedding of Emma & Spike, at the Quorn Grange Hotel, down in Leicester. The best man on that day was Stu, and Jo was a bridesmaid! I recently photographed the 2 of them for their pre wedding engagement photo shoot. The session took place at one of my favourite locations in Yorkshire; Roundhay park on the edge of leeds.

Laura + Billy {Engaged}

A gorgeous poppy field on the outskirts of Doncaster was the location for Laura & Billy’s engagement photo shoot. It had been raining on and off all day long, and as I drove to meet them, the grey clouds overhead looked a little ominous! I needn’t have worried though, the rain clouds drifted on by leaving the three of us bone dry, and even more importantly time to grab some great photos!

In a few weeks time, Laura & Billy will marry at theWest Retford Hotel, with a gorgeous outdoor ceremony planned. Fingers crossed that those rain clouds stay well away!

I’ve chosen a few of my favourite photos from the shoot below:-

Kelly & Terry {Engaged!}

Phil Shillitoe — Wed, 11 May 2011 16:57:45 +0000

I’ve known Kelly for a number of years now, and it was a real pleasure when she phoned me last year (or rather texted me!) and asked if I would photograph her upcoming wedding to her fiance Terry at the Crown Hotel in Bawtry. Their pre wedding engagement photo shoot took place just down the road from their they both live in Doncaster, Cusworth Hall – it’s almost becoming my second home now!

Despite being repeatedly bitten by nasty bugs through out the shoot, the resulting photographs were more than worth the itching that followed!! Fingers crossed, the bugs wont follow us across Doncaster to the Crown Hotel in a few weeks!

Doncaster Engagement & Wedding Photography { Johanna & Nigel }

Phil Shillitoe — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 00:49:58 +0000

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!
