YORK WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
RELAXED DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Looking for a York wedding photographer who captures your day naturally, honestly and without taking over?
I’m Paul Hawkett, a multi award-winning Yorkshire wedding photographer with 15 years’ experience and over 475 weddings photographed since 2011.
My approach is 95% documentary, capturing the real moments, genuine emotions and little details that make your wedding yours. With a few relaxed, creatively guided portraits along the way, I’ll tell your story beautifully while letting you spend your day enjoying every moment with the people who matter most.
WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY THAT FEELS LIKE YOUR WEDDING
Your wedding is a celebration, not a day spent posing for a camera. I want you to enjoy every minute of it, surrounded by your favourite people, with a drink in hand and absolutely no pressure to perform for the photographs.
My approach is around 95% documentary. I keep things relaxed, blending into the background and capturing the day as it really happens. The nervous moments before the ceremony, the hugs, the questionable dance moves, the mates at the bar and all the little things you might miss while you're busy having the best day of your life.
Of course, we'll make time for the couple shots too. I'll give you a little direction when needed, creating something a bit more dramatic without disappearing for hours or making you feel awkward.
The result? A gallery that's full of life, personality and genuine moments. Photographs that bring it all flooding back, remind you who was there and make you wish you could do it all over again.
THAT'S WHAT MY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY IS ALL ABOUT.....CAPTURING YOU HAVING THE TIME OF YOUR LIVES!!
"FAR MORE THAN A
PHOTOGRAPHER"
"Paul was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, he is thoroughly professional and entirely passionate about his work. Crucially he is also an incredibly funny man who integrated perfectly with our friends and family and became far more than a photographer"
