Relaxed, Elegant Wedding Photography

Based in Doncaster and photographing weddings across South Yorkshire and beyond, Elegant Wedding Photography blends documentary storytelling with refined portraiture to create images that feel timeless, honest and beautifully observed.

I believe the best wedding photographs come from feeling comfortable enough to be fully present in the moment. My approach is relaxed, unobtrusive and focused on documenting the atmosphere of your day naturally, while still creating timeless portraits you’ll want to come back to for years.

Featured Wedding Venues

Over the years I’ve had the privilege of photographing weddings at some of Yorkshire’s most beautiful venues, building strong relationships with many of the teams along the way. From being a preferred supplier at venues including Hellaby Hall Hotel and Owston Hall Hotel, to regularly photographing weddings at Mount Pleasant Hotel, Bawtry Hall, Riverlands and Loversall Farm, I’m incredibly fortunate to work in venues I genuinely know and love.

Having experience at a venue can make a real difference on a wedding day too. Knowing the best portrait locations, understanding how the light works throughout the seasons and having established relationships with venue teams helps everything feel far more relaxed and seamless for couples.

You can explore some of the venues I regularly photograph below:

  • Hellaby Hall Hotel
  • Mount Pleasant Hotel
  • Owston Hall Hotel
  • Bawtry Hall
  • Riverlands
  • Loversall Farm
  • York Guildhall
  • Mansion House Doncaster

I don’t even know where to start with Elegant Photography! Danny was amazing from start to finish. He understood our personality from the first meet and made sure everything was how we’d like it. There was no pressure which made the whole day run smoothly, ensuring we were laughing and enjoying our day whilst capturing the most incredible pictures. He even went out of his way to ensure we were able to create the album of our dreams despite it not being the album included in our package! We couldn’t have asked for more and still look through our photos just in awe of our special day. Thankyou so much Danny!

Yesterday Danny photographed me and my wife’s wedding he was fantastic, he really got involved with the guests and just felt like a friend invited to the wedding. When he took me and my wife to the garden area to have our personal photos taken he was in all sorts of positions to get the best quality photo he was even laid amongst the daffodils! even though we haven’t seen the photos properly yet he kept showing us on his camera previews of what he had taken and we could already see they’re going to be amazing! We can’t wait to get them back! Over all Danny really goes that extra mile to make your day special. A must have for a special day like ours was highly recommended!!

We cannot recommend Danny enough 👏🏼 not only do we sing his praises from the roof tops but so do all of our guests. Thank you for allowing us to be us for our photos! Danny made everyone feel at ease & he is a genuinely top bloke! My husband knew Danny but I had never met him but felt like he was a friend at the wedding. The photobooth was BRILLIANT and the guestbook captured memories to last a life time! We received our photos in weeks and absolutely BLOWN AWAY! Dan captured every single moment from start to finish perfectly! Looking through our photos and reliving the magic. Nothing was too much trouble for Dan (sure he was laying in a pile of mud at one point!). We’re completely amazed by the professionalism & hard work dedicated. We can’t thank you enough.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should we book our wedding photographer?

It’s always worth booking your wedding photographer as early as possible, especially for popular summer dates and weekend weddings. Most couples book between 6–18 months in advance, although last-minute availability does occasionally appear throughout the year.

How do we choose the right wedding photographer?

Choosing a wedding photographer is about much more than just beautiful images. You want someone whose style connects with you, but also someone who helps you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the day. I always recommend arranging a consultation call before booking so you can get a feel for the person behind the camera and make sure the experience feels right for you both.. Contact Us to book yours now.

How much does a wedding photographer cost in Yorkshire?

Wedding photography pricing can vary depending on experience, coverage and what’s included within the package. Most couples are investing not only in the final images, but also in the experience, guidance and peace of mind that comes with having an experienced photographer alongside them throughout the day.
If you’d like to learn more about collections and pricing, feel free to get in touch for a brochure.

Do you offer engagement photo sessions as part of your wedding photography packages?

Yes. Engagement sessions are a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera before the wedding day and help you feel far more relaxed when the big day arrives. They’re also a lovely opportunity to create some natural photographs together without the time pressures of a wedding schedule.

Do you offer wedding albums or prints?

Absolutely. I offer handcrafted luxury Italian wedding albums designed in-house, giving couples a timeless way to relive their wedding day for years to come. Every album is carefully designed and you’ll always have the final say on layouts and finishes.

What happens if the weather is bad on our wedding day?

We’re in Yorkshire, so unpredictable weather is practically part of the wedding package. The good news is that rain rarely stops us creating beautiful photographs. Whether it’s finding sheltered locations, working indoors creatively or embracing dramatic evening umbrella shots, there’s always a way to make the weather part of the story rather than a problem.
