Best of 2022 by the best of the best wedding photographers in Yorkshire

wedding photographers in yorkshire

2022: the year we got back to normal. Well it wasn’t exactly normal on planet wedding – super busy more like! All the wedding photographers in Yorkshire and through the whole country that I know busted out a serious shift. In addition to all the weddings you’d have in a normal year we had the last of the Covid reschedulers, plus a few extra weddings on top from those couples who had delayed plans until it looked like the risk of restrictions around wedding was gone for good. Any day of the week was fair game last year as venues and suppliers scrambled to accommodate the surge.

As a consequence of this I shot a few more weddings than usual – a few extra of my own plus some with and for photographer friends to help out. Once again, this amazing community has shown how resilient and supportive it is as we do what is needed to do the best job for our clients. Massive shouts to those who worked with me and with whom I shot this past year: Nadine, Aidan, Shane, Biff, Alex, Gainesy, Amber, Thomo. It’s been a massive pleasure guys – you’re all stupidly talented!

And as usual I’ve been here, there and everywhere from Durham to Sussex, Cambridge to Vienna plus a load of my favourite local venues of course being a Yorkshire wedding photographer.

You’re here to see some photos so let’s crack on with no further ado, interspersed with some kind words from my lovely 2022 couples! It was SO hard culling down to a sensible number of pictures but here we go – 100 photos I love from 2022 that are what me and my style are all about. Enjoy!

“What can I say apart from incredible!! John has been friendly, helpful and provided advice since the first contact I had with him. On the wedding day he was efficient, organised, relaxed, calm and fun -all the things you would want as a couple on your wedding day. My Husband and I are shy and were worried about having our picture taken but John made us feel so relaxed and at ease and got some EPIC pictures. He captured every shot we asked of him and so much more. Every detail and moment of the day has been captured and the photos are stunningly beautiful. If you want a photographer to provide you with memories to last a life time and quality pictures and service, choose John Hope and you will not be disappointed. THANK YOU from a happy bride and groom :-)”

“From the initial online meeting with John we knew we had made the right call, from the off he was relaxed, approachable but clearly very professional. On the day John got the balance just right of discreetly blending into the background and being at the forefront organising people when needed. From the pictures that we received we have no idea how he managed to move around all over the place to get shots from all angles without us noticing. The photographs are absolutely superb and are all we could ever have wished for – thank you so much John!”

“We are so pleased we chose John to take our wedding photographs this summer! From the first meeting to the big day, we felt instantly at ease and knew we were in good hands. Having a camera on you for the whole day can be quite a daunting prospect, but John made the whole process enjoyable and fun.

We loved how much personality John captured in our wedding photos and there are so many special moments from the day in our photo gallery. John is so talented and knows exactly how to get the best pictures. We are delighted with our photographs and looking back through them has brought back so many memories from the most perfect day.”
