A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Welcome! Thanks for popping by, I'm Phil.

I'm lucky to live near Sherwood Forest with my amazing wife Melanie, our adorable little lad Albert and our loopy border collie, Filey. I have the best family anyone could wish for!

Melanie and I have been together for 10 years and were married at the beautiful Normans wedding venue, in the countryside outside York.

We are both self-employed, myself as a Yorkshire wedding photographer whilst Melanie runs the fantastic Southwell Dance School with her business partner.

I gave up my full-time job as a Police Officer back in 2010 to focus on my portrait, wedding and family photography business.

I've been lucky enough to cover over 500 weddings the length and breadth of the UK and Europe, and been a family photographer for over 4000 beautiful sessions.

I’d love to hear from you! If you’d like to get in touch, please drop me a line by contacting me here, or towards the bottom of this page.

cinematic Yorkshire wedding photographer

The very first wedding day that I photographed was back in 2004. My vision was to record the day how I’d like to be photographed; unobtrusively and with as little posing as possible.

The same ethos still holds today.

My aim is always to capture those unscripted relaxed moments. The extraordinary moments. The fleeting once-in-a-lifetime moments and those imperfect moments that make a wedding so unique. I want to create a legacy for you and your family for generations to come.

With a cinematic style of wedding photography in Yorkshire and throughout the UK you deserve to have a wedding photographer who will fit in around you - unposed and natural.

You’ll see nothing but true authentic moments captured both digitally and on film. You won’t find any fake couples or ‘staged’ weddings in my portfolio!

I will strive to document your day discreetly and create a series of beautiful relaxed photos for you both. There’ll be no ‘say cheese’ or ‘will all groomsman walk slowly to the camera’, your wedding photography will be authentic, original, fun, and beautifully captured.

When it comes to your first portraits as a married couple, I want to make sure you feel relaxed and in control of the process. That's why I only give very minimal direction, such as suggesting where to stand for the best light. I’ll take 20 minutes of your day, as the sunsets. Your guests will be mingling, having a glass of champagne or three, and you’ll be back with them before they even know you’ve been gone!

I take a photojournalistic approach to my wedding photography. I capture the story in a documentary style, telling the relationships and moments as I see them through my camera.
