I'm a multi award winning Yorkshire Wedding Photographer based near the beautiful, vibrant cities of York and Hull, and even closer to the market towns of Beverley & Pocklington. I have photographed weddings all over the UK from intimate ceremonies to huge stately home celebrations. I'm a creative, modern photographer, with a fun, relaxed style of working.
It would be great to meet up and show you my beautiful albums and to find a little about each other - but prior to that I can offer some information on what to expect from Paul Hawkett Photography, pre, post and the actual day of your wedding. So to keep it brief, this is what's included! It goes with out saying, I will be there, suited & smiling, From the bridal preparations until after the first dance.
If you think I'm possibly the right photographer for you and would like to check date availability, then I'd love to hear from you. I'm currently taking bookings up to 2025. I will ALWAYS respond to an email, If you have not received a reply within 48 hours, please get in touch as something must have gone wrong!
It would be great to meet in person and talk through your wedding plans but I appreciate that's not always possible so I have listed the main questions I'm asked at pre wedding meetings. I'm based in North Cave just outside of York and not to far from Hull, Leeds, Harrogate and the coastal towns of Bridlington & Scarborough, .
Wow, the usb just arrived! What beautiful presentation- it felt so special to open, so thank you for taking so much care in preparing it for us. We received our wedding album yesterday and we just wanted to say another big thank you for all the lovely shots you captured, we are delighted with it! I've never seen anything like this before.

I cannot recommend Paul highly enough. From the minute we got in touch to the minute we received our wedding album, he was outstanding. Although the pandemic has been a tough time for everyone (not least anyone involved in the wedding industry), Paul kept in touch and was so, so helpful when we had to rearrange our date on several occasions. Nothing was too much trouble. Paul's photographs speak for themselves - they truly are amazing. Thank you so, so much - we would not hesitate to recommend to family and friends! :)

We met Paul when he took photos for the sale of our house. We liked him straight away. Once we booked our wedding day we asked Paul if he would be our photographer. We had to rearrange the date 3 times because of Covid but we finally got there. Wow, he was absolutely amazing on our wedding day! He even sorted my bridesmaids gifts into the personalised bags on the morning of the wedding.
Everyone that met him commented on how much they liked him and since seeing our photos have loved his work. and asked for his details. You didn't really notice he was there on the wedding day, not pushy or annoying as I have seen of some! He spent time after the ceremony in the countryside with us to capture more photos. They are truly beautiful and unique.
We have now received our beautiful wedding album, canvass and USB. All beautiful packaged and personalised. High quality and we would 100% recommend. Thanks Paul for making our wedding day so so special! You were fantastic, chilled and have a great sense of humour. Once we move house we will be ordering further canvasses. Bev & Nigel

Wow! Absolutely amazing guy. Cannot wait to see our wedding pictures once completed. Paul will attach some of his incredible work. Goes over and above. He is so chilled and helped calm my pre wedding nerves. Never seen a photographer that is just so friendly, laid back and funny. All of our wedding party loved him. 100% recommend. We will never use anyone else. Thanks for making our day so incredibly special!!

From the minute we looked at Paul’s website we just knew we had to book him! We met Paul a couple of weeks before the wedding and from when we sat down and talked ideas we just knew we was in safe hands and from what we’ve seen so far we couldn’t ask for any better photos! We look forward to seeing the finish product. Thanks again so much.

Paul was amazing on our wedding day, polite, professional and captured the day perfectly. He’s very approachable and made us feel really relaxed. We’re pretty shy really but he was the perfect choice, often forgot he was there so he took a lot of very natural shots. There was stormy weather on our big day, but it all made it more memorable and the photos are just brilliant. Fully recommend to anyone. Thanks again Paul!

Thank you Paul for being the most genuine, lovely, welcoming and friendly wedding photographer that we could have asked for. We instantly felt at ease with you, from the first planning stage all the way through to our wedding. You captured all of the shots that we wanted, and more. You were amazing at organising the shots throughout the day and gelled instantly with the ushers and bridesmaids!
You kept smiling from start to finish, had time for everyone and had huge patience with us! We absolutely love our wedding photos, and can not wait to see the final edits. We could not recommend Paul highly enough to anyone and everyone!

Paul did the photography for my daughter Katie's wedding a few weeks ago and I have been meaning to write a review ever since. He was truly fabulous, polite, professional and I would recommend to anyone seeking a wedding photographer. The pictures and a joy and a full reflection on the great day we had. Thank you Paul so much

Finally getting round to writing reviews! Paul did our photography at our wedding at the end of August and we can not fault him. He turned up on time looking professional and got straight to work. The weather wasn't on our side on the day but despite the torrential rain Paul managed to get some fantastic shots. Paul was very polite and didn't intrude, we hardly knew he was there, he checked in every now and again to check we were OK and if we wanted any specific photos getting. When we got our photos they were fantastic and captured some great moments so that we can relive the day! Thank you Paul.

Paul is thoroughly professional and entirely passionate about his work. Crucially he is also a thoroughly pleasant and funny man who integrated perfectly with our friends and family and became far more than a photographer in how he supported and assisted us during the day. He was persistent in ensuring he got the shots we wanted whilst never being intrusive.
We haven’t seen our photos yet but based on his portfolio I know they will be stunning; he has true artistic flair and a genuine appreciation for the beautiful Yorkshire countryside. Thank you for everything Paul- I’m so happy that you were with us on our big day.
