Phil was an absolute dream to work with. He was so friendly and professional, he put us at ease straight away by getting to know us and our ‘style’ so that on our wedding day itself, we would be totally comfortable and relaxed so he could get all the amazing shots he needed. He asked what we wanted, but guided us where we were unsure and on the day he was absolutely fantastic with us, our venues and our guests. He gave us the time and attention like we were the only ones to ever be getting married whilst delivering with expert service and demonstrating his years of experience. I would not hesitate to recommend Yorkshire Portraits for any kind of professional photography!! More...

Wow what can I say, what an amazingly talented photographer who captured our day perfectly. Our photos do exactly what we wanted them to; they allow us to re-live our day every time we look at them taking us right back there to that moment. Phil you truly are a lovely person who made us and our guests feel completely comfortable with being in front of the camera. We had so many comments from guests about how wonderful you were, thank you so much for capturing our special day ❤️ More...

Phil was truly the best photographer we could have hoped for on our wedding day. As two people that are far from comfortable in front of a camera, we were quite nervous about being in the spotlight all day. However - from the moment we started our pre-wedding photoshoot, to the very last photo of our wedding night - Phil made us feel so relaxed, and at ease, that we actually enjoyed having our photo taken! We were originally drawn to Phil’s work because of his style and skill for capturing natural and candid moments, and this he certainly delivered. Our wedding album is a true reflection of the happiest of days, and we are so grateful to Phil for capturing all those authentic moments – we will treasure these forever. Phil was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. His friendly and laid-back approach went a long way in helping us to feel comfortable in front of the camera, enabling him to perfectly capture the most precious of moments. A few guests also commented on how Phil blended in with the other wedding guests, his presence was very natural throughout the entire wedding which is exactly the vibe we were after. We experienced the full display of British weather on our wedding day and Phil worked brilliantly and tirelessly with all the elements: rain, wind or shine. Some of our favourite photos are the ones in the gale-force wind and rain, which is a credit to how well Phil knows his craft! On the day, he went over and above to ensure we had the best possible photographs, and that we had fun in the making – for this we are so grateful. We are over the moon with our wedding album, and the pre-shoot photos. Thanks to Phil, the joy of our wedding day, captured perfectly, can be treasured for a lifetime. Thank you so much. More...

I was given a photo shoot as a 60th birthday present by my children. The shoot itself took place in a hotel garden, the backdrop was wonderful. Phil managed to direct our lively group and got some great photos. I would highly recommend Phil's services. More...

We used Phil for our wedding yesterday. From the moment we first met him, we felt completely at ease, like he was a friend we'd known for years. We had a pre-wedding shoot and the pictures were stunning to say the least! We haven't seen the wedding photo's as yet but that doesn't stop me recommending Yorkshire Portraits to anyone. His style is very professional, but very relaxed also. We<span id="moreReview43159" class="hide"> didn't even notice him most of the time, and ALL the guests said how good he was, and made you feel very relaxed when taking the photos. Phil certainly made our day extra special! Thanks for everything Phil!!</span> More...
