Jo + Stu {Engaged)

Phil Shillitoe — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 14:49:55 +0000

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.

Fun in The Park! { Jade & Family }

Phil Shillitoe — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 17:36:52 +0000

10 children, 6 adults and a Pug dog! These were my clients this Sunday at Roundhay Park Leeds. Whoever says never work with children or animals has certainly never met Jade’s family or their pet Pug- they were so well behaved and just plain easy to photograph! Jade had contacted me in the week before the photo shoot, and asked if I could photograph her family whilst she was over from Hong Kong. Jade specifically wanted photos of her family that had an edge to them; something a little different. The kids lined up as the usual suspects impersonating their best gangster look, and the next minute they were jumping about, and just having fun! As an added bonus, the sun even came out to play!

Introducing {Freddie}

Phil Shillitoe — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 13:05:17 +0000

At 1:54pm on January 7th, baby Freddie Hammond said hello to this wonderful world that we live in!! Back in October 2009 I had the honour of photographing the stunning wedding of his parents, at Oulton Hall, Leeds – Today, I add just as much pleasure in photographing their very special new addition to the family!

Any tears that little Freddie cried soon dried when he received reassuring hugs from his proud mummy and daddy – on the odd occasion that that failed, a big gulp of milk certainly worked!!

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

The Mansion, Rounday Park, Leeds Wedding Photographer – {Kate & Gavin}

Phil Shillitoe — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 16:37:07 +0000

Situated at the edge of Roundhay Park, on the outskirts of Leeds, is the magnificent ‘Mansion‘. With stunning architectural details, The Mansion affords superb views of the 700 acres of sprawling landscaped Yorkshire parkland, lakes and woodland. Kate and Gavin were a couple who came to me early in their engagement, over a year before their wedding. Needless to say, I’d been looking forward photographing their big day for some time!.

Kate and Gav are such a great couple; easy going, blissfully in love, and very photogenic to boot! The wedding was one of the most beautiful, intimate affairs I’ve ever photographed. The beautiful backdrop of The Mansion and Roundhay Park made for some incredible photography, and I have to say, reception venue and grounds are up there with my favorites to date. It was so hard just to choose which photos to include in the blog!

Oulton Hall Leeds Wedding photography { Sarah & Danny }

Phil Shillitoe — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 19:35:33 +0000

I was lucky enough to photography the enchanting setting of Oulton Hall, on the outskirts of Leeds. Oulton Hall was the venue for the beautiful wedding of Sarah & Danny. Sarah looked exquisite in her dress, whilst Danny was dapper personified. The day had a real 1930s Hollywood movie look to it. Light levels within Oulton Hall at this time of year, as is the case in venues across the country, are very low. By searching out the best quality light, and combining the outstanding Nikon D3 with fast primes lenses such as the 50mm and 85mm 1.4, I was able to capture the ambiance and beauty of the venue and the bride and groom.

These are a few of my personal favourite photos from the wedding day
