Priory Cottages Weddings

Priory Cottages weddings by award winning documentary wedding photographer – John Hope

Best of 2022 by the best of the best 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 […]

BEST WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY OF 2018 by John Hope Photography

Welcome to my best wedding photography of 2018 annual round up. Is it me or did those 12 months just whizz by? I guess it’s true that time flies when you’re having fun and I certainly enjoyed a great year both personally and professionally. I loved every bit of the weather during the greatest summer […]

Vicky & Toke // Priory Cottages weddings

The nature of my job takes me all around the country so there actually aren’t that many venues I’ve shot at more than once. This generally suits me pretty well but there’s a small handful of local venues that I love and go out of my way to try and work at. I usually end […]

Best of 2016 // Best Yorkshire Wedding Photographer

2016 – a year that history will remember for a lot of negative reasons but for me personally, the polar opposite – I’m pleased to say I had an awesome year. My personal highlight had to be the arrival of our second (and final!) daughter Cleo, though I was also proud as punch to see […]

Best Of 2015

A week ago the curtain fell on another amazing 365 days in my life as a wedding photographer. Amidst the nervous excitement building up to the imminent arrival of my second child and desperately trying to force through building work to be completed before that rather significant life event, I’ve had time to draw breath […]

Priory Cottages wedding photography // Danielle & Mat

“John, I know I’m biased but I these are some of the best wedding (or general photos of people) I have ever seen. We LOVE them. We saw them before we went to sleep last night and it was lovely to confirm that the day seemed to have gone, not only as well as we […]

BEST OF 2014

2014 we salute you! One HECK of year! As usual my work has taken me far and wide, from Bristol to Brittany, the rugged beauty of the Lakes and Dales, to the vibrant urban centres of London and Manchester and many places in between! I’ve met some awesome people, thrown shapes on the dance floor […]

Becky & Richard // Priory Cottages wedding photographer

The word epic is well over-used but I can find no other adjective to describe that light. The burning embers of a golden sunset as the sun set on what was in all respects, a golden day. After a less than favourable forecast the weather played an ace card as only seemed fitting for Richard […]

Priory Cottages Wedding Photographer // Flippy & Andy

When you see these photos it’s kind of hard to imagine that this wedding was in February but Flippy and Andy lucked out with a belter of a day weather-wise. It’s always awesome to do a shift as a Priory Cottages wedding photographer. As a Leeds wedding photographer I’m kind of spoiled for great venues […]

2013 ~ The Big Round Up!

As 2014 is ushered in, it’s time to take stock and reflect on the year that has come to pass. And what a year…. I photographed 40 weddings in castles and barns, stately homes and art galleries, farms and fields, a boat club, an industrial museum and of course cathedrals and churches, even the church […]

Kristina & Dan // Priory Cottages Wedding

Second shooting weddings is always great fun. You get all the good bits of photographing a wedding but with less stress and a bit of breathing time to look for more interesting shots. I’ve worked with my good friend, fellow whisky lover and wedding photographer supreme Barnaby Aldrick a few times before so when he […]
