As an experienced Yorkshire wedding photographer, I specialize in documentary-style photography that tells the true story of your wedding day. This lead photograph captures a beautiful, candid moment that reflects the raw emotions and timeless memories of the day. Whether you're saying "I do" in York, Hull, or any other stunning location across Yorkshire, I focus on authentic moments that showcase the love, laughter, and joy of your celebration. With a relaxed, unobtrusive approach, I aim to create photographs that are as natural and unique as your love story.

LET ME CAPTURE YOU AT YOUR VERY BEST.
TIMELESS, UNPOSED WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY 

MULTI AWARD WINNING YORKSHIRE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

A Warm Welcome to Paul Hawkett Photography – Your Yorkshire Wedding Photographer

The perfect destination for couples seeking an unforgettable wedding photography experience without the need for stiff posing or the hassle of traditional photographers. As a York wedding photographer, my natural and relaxed approach ensures that your day is captured authentically, allowing you to focus on enjoying every moment.

Long after the confetti has settled and the last song has played, your photographs will take you right back to the heart of your wedding day. They’ll remind you not just of how beautiful you looked, but more importantly, how you felt – the love, laughter, and emotions that made your celebration truly one-of-a-kind.

THAT'S WHAT MY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY IS ALL ABOUT.....CAPTURING YOU HAVING THE TIME OF YOUR LIVES!!

"FAR MORE THAN A PHOTOGRAPHER"

"Paul is thoroughly professional and entirely passionate about his work. Crucially he is also a thoroughly pleasant and incredibly funny man who integrated perfectly with our friends and family and became far more than a photographer"

AM I THE RIGHT WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER FOR YOU?

BECAUSE THIS WILL WORK BEST IF WE'RE A PERFECT MATCH !

With 14 years’ experience I have photographed over 400 unique weddings. In a nut shell, I love weddings and especially meeting people at weddings. My couples and their families always appreciate how I made them feel on the day which is why the majority of my booking are made from recommendations, venues or from guests present at a wedding I have previously photographed.

LET'S WORK TOGETHER →

Whilst I’m a Yorkshire based wedding photographer, I’ve worked all over the UK. I'm some what of a late bloomer when it comes to travel but I'm always up for an adventure. If your wedding is taking you overseas to a magical destination then I would love to hear about your plans.
