Woodlands Hotel Wedding Photography… A modern wedding full of glamour, energy and good vibes!

Nicola and Adam were married at the incredible Woodlands Hotel in Leeds. A modern venue filled with so much natural light, it really is a photographers dream! I asked Nicola to tell me more about her wedding day…

I’d say quite unique rather than traditional, white bridesmaid dresses to start with ha! Me and Adam are not that close to the majority of our family, hence why only our closest family members are coming. It’s going to be quite a young and fun wedding with lots of our friends there who are of a similar age to us. I’m hoping it’s going to be quite classy and stunning, but boujee at the same time. From the photos I want elegance during the morning and for the ceremony, but when it gets to the food and dancing, we want everyone to be up and having a good time!I the bride am not a relaxed person, I’m very on the go none stop and like everything single detail to be perfect – hence many breakdowns about perfecting this wedding. Adam is the complete opposite, very laid back and a chilled out guy but I guess it just works?! I’m hoping that I can destress on the wedding day and watch all the hard work come to life.

We’re very fun people and so are our friends, so I’m hoping it’s wild (to some extent) and everyone has the most amazing day. I’m the type of person who is on the dance floor first… Adam would prefer to be at the bar lol. But I’m hoping on the day that his dancing moves come out the bag, because if he does, all the groomsman and friends will follow! I’m so open to swinging napkins half way through food, dancing on chairs and getting the party started, so anything you can do to help make it a lively one would be greatly appreciated! The Woodlands Hotel is the perfect venue for us as it’s modern and spacious and has a touch of glamour!

The Dress!

The huge trail on the skirt – when fluffed in the air and let sit, it’s just gorgeous. I also love the glitter that shines through it too. It’s just mega, dramatic and EXTRA and that’s why I love it. The skirt is detachable so it would be nice to get some pictures without it on as it looks like a completely different dress and is still so beautiful, but I don’t plan on taking the skirt off until after the evening guests have arrived and after the first dance has taken place.

The bridesmaid dresses have been made to measure by @bridesmaidbyjb. They are white with a high neck, fishtail bottom, low back and small trail. They are fitted from the waist down. They just scream elegance! All groomsman are in tuxs and black bow ties whilst the girls are in white. The theme is very neutral with white roses & gypsophila, black and white table decor & stationary.

The Photos

I loved capturing Nicola and Adams wedding At The Woodlands Hotel. Here’s just a few highlights from their amazing day!

Chateau De Brives wedding, Lucy and Lee: Capturing Timeless Romance!

I had the honour of flying to the South of France to capture Lucy and Lee’s stunning destination wedding at Château de Brives.

The Chateau

Château de Brives is the epitome of charm, elegance, and romance. As a destination wedding venue, it offers the perfect backdrop for couples looking to bring their fairytale wedding to life. With its sprawling gardens, centuries-old architecture, and intimate atmosphere, it’s a dream come true for any couple seeking a grand and stylish wedding venue! For wedding photographers, Château de Brives offers a treasure trove of opportunities to capture unforgettable moments. From the first look to the first dance, every detail of a wedding at this venue provides a stunning backdrop.

The ceremony

The ceremony was held in the cute little chapel opposite the chateau. Inside, the chapel’s interior was bathed in natural light streaming through stained glass windows, casting a warm, colorful glow over the ceremony. Rows of wooden pews, lined with delicate floral arrangements, created a cozy, intimate space where close family and friends gathered to witness Luch and Lee exchange their personalise vows.

The reception was held outdoors in the glorious sunshine with alfresco dining after the emotional speeches. As golden our came, we drove to the nearby sunflower field to create some magic before heading back to the chatueu to capture the last of the evening light.

A destination wedding at Château de Brives is truly a photographer’s dream. The magical setting, the emotional moments, and the timeless romance of the venue all come together to create a perfect story. For any couple looking to have their dream wedding, Château de Brives offers an unparalleled experience. I can’t wait to go back to this dream venue but for now, here’s some highlights from Luch and Lee’s perfect day.

Powerscourt Hotel Wedding, Ireland

Powerscourt Hotel Wedding, Ireland.

A glamorous, modern celebration for Shauna and Alan!

Shauna and Alan’s day was a spectacular mix of family, fun, glamour and the most incredible wedding dress! Shauna choose a Galiav wedding dress for her big day. She said, “I love my dress because I think its really different, I love the high neck and the back is my favourite part. The detailing is stunning and the sleeves are a big feature of the dress too. I am detaching the skirt for the first dance and rest of the night and I will also be changing my hair too!” Galiav wedding gowns are known for their fusion of timeless elegance and modern sophistication. Crafted with intricate details and luxurious fabrics, each gown embodies a unique blend of classic bridal charm and contemporary design elements. Perfect for the modern bride with a love for classic glamour just like Shuna!

The Venue

Powerscourt Hotel is located in the heart of the scenic Wicklow countryside in Ireland, is a five-star luxury destination known for its stunning views! It’s surrounded by lush gardens and the majestic Sugar Loaf Mountain which you can see in the photos below.

The couple opted for a black tie wedding. A black-tie wedding offers a level of elegance, creating a truly memorable experience for both the couple and their guests. The formal dress code encourages guests to don their finest attire, adding a even bigger sense of glamour and exclusivity to the wedding!

The wedding day

I asked Shauna to tell me a little about her thoughts on the wedding. She wrote,”Its quite a large wedding so I want it to feel like a big celebration/party. I just want people to enjoy themselves throughout the day and night. Our entertainment is upbeat throughout the day so it should feel like a party all day! Although we are throwing a big wedding we aren’t great with the spotlight on us. We are both quiet and are nervous of the amount of attention the day will bring! I am really really nervous to walk down the aisle this is why the first touch is so important to me just knowing that Alan will calm me before I do walk down.”

The first touch photo of Alan and Shauna’s is one of my favourites from the day – it’s such a special moment!

Sanaz and Tom, Grantley Hall Summer Wedding

Sanaz and Tom’s Grantley Hall Summer Wedding… It was back to the Incredible 5* Grantley Hall for this beautiful wedding day…

Grantley Hall Summer Wedding…

This stunning black tie summer wedding at Grantley Hall was beautiful from start to fininsh. The weather was perfect for the outdoor ceremony which was filled with white and pale pink flowers. It was such a dream to photograph! The florals filled the wedding breakfast room too and Sanaz and Tom sat amongst them surrounded by their family and friends.

More about the day…

Tom told me a little bit anout themselves and what they were hoping for from their dream summer wedding!

“Sanaz is shy but deep down quite fiery and doesn’t really love having her picture taken (which is crazy to me as she’s a stunner!) I’m the opposite (a lot more extrovert) and don’t mind having my picture taken. As a couple, we’re both ambitious and we are lucky to have created a great life together which we are eager to build upon.

Our wedding will be fairly small and intimate with close family and friends. Florals are quite modern but the vibe of the wedding is classy / timeless. We aren’t keen on things being too staged or forced when it cmes to the photography. I really don’t like heavily staged wedding photos, it just feels really awkward and unauthentic. We prefer more candid photos. We like old Hollywood glam style photos. Quite dramatic pictures etc. Detail shots / close ups etc.”

With their love for Old Hollywood glam style photos, I made sure to use my direct flash, especially in the evening! This created those timeless images they were keen to have and they both looked stunning! Here’s some photos from their day and to read more about weddings at Grantley Hall then just visit my blog…

Harlaxton Manor Wedding Photography, Hugo & Hannah… An Extravagant Wedding at Harlaxton Manor: A Fairytale Come to Life!

Hanna and Hugo were married at Harlaxton Manor – with its jaw dropping architecture, amazing gardens, and so much history, it really is a venue straight out of a storybook!

Every detail of this wedding rwas perfection—this is what a wedding at Harlaxton Manor offers and this day was a dream to photograph. From the moment you arrive up the long drive, you are greeted by the magnificent Manor, a blend of Jacobean and Elizabethan styles, making it one of the most breathtaking venues in England. This Victorian manor has been the backdrop for countless events, but few compare to the splendour of an extravagant wedding such as Hugo and Hanna’s!

The Dress…

Hanna wore a Suzanna Neville gown which oozed modern elegance and timeless sophistication! Hannah was drawn to this dress in particular as it was a perfect balance between classic and contemporary, making it ideal for our fashion-forward, modern bride! With subtle embellishments and a structured fit, Hannah exuded effortless grace and style. Finished with the most beautiful lace veil, Hanna looked like a real life angel!

Hugo and Hanna say “I do” in the Great Hall, with its ornate stone fireplace, towering ceilings, and huge opulent chandelier. This space, with its rich history and grandeur, served as the perfect location for their ceremony.

The wedding breakfast was held in Harlaxton Manor’s Long Gallery with it’s exquisite marble floors and hand-painted ceiling. Modern Heritage styling and Gigil and Bloom provided the florals an incredible styling. We used the Gold room for the backdrop for the cake cutting, champagne tower and a “Mob shot” at Hanna and Hugo’s request – how amazing do the bridal party look?!

This wedding is definitely one I’ll remember for a long time! Here are just a few highlights from this beautiful day…

A winter wedding at Middleton Lodge…

Lauren and Matt were married at the beautiful Middleton Lodge on a cold, crisp December day. The scent of pine and cedar really did fill the air from their gorgeous, seasonal floral arrangements. There were twinkling fairy lights and lodge’s fireplaces roared with warmth, creating a perfect backdrop for their cosy winter wedding.

Lauren got ready in the bridal suite along with her Bridesmaids and her little boy came into visit. How sweet is he?! Then it was downstairs for the ceremony in the main house before guests wandered around the house and gardens enjoying the drinks reception. The group photos were so much fun and Lauren and Matt were keen on some timeless couples portraits in the beautiful grounds.

The reception was held in the marquee which was filled to the brim with candles – it looks incredible and so festive! There was such a cosy vibe and when the guests were seated the heartfelt speeches began

The party continued late into the night and the dance floor was always full! What a celebration of love this was! Here’s a glimpse into the awesome Winter Wedding at Middleton Lodge…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Eve and Patrick, a chateau wedding in Tuscany

Eve and Patrick, a chateau wedding in Tuscany

Eve and Patrick’s dreamy Tuscan wedding was an incredible day to photograph. From Eve’s handmade custom dress by Thread the Spool to the Private Villa Belvadere, nestled in the stunning rolling hills. Eve and Partick flew out there family for a week before the wedding. Wedding preparations got underway a few days before with Stems Design from Yorkshire flying early to work her magic with the flowers. The handmade flower arch was spectacular!

Eve is a fellow Yorkshire woman and many of her suppliers such as Kelly Hanks Hair and Natalie Kate make up flew over from Yorkshire to help create the dream wedding. Now more about the dress! Eve described the hand made master piece…” It is BOLD! Not something I thought I’d ever wear, I thought I may have gone quite ditsy and simple. I have had made from scratch quite literally a dream dress. (I designed this dress in a dream & drew it to be made). It’s A line, puff sleeves, a big train, low back and VERY sparkly.”

As night closed in the dress really did sparkle under the fairly lights that decorated the whole outdoor space. Guests ate alfresco and partied the night away fuelled by prosecco and ice cream from the cute Ice cream car! Just once of the many cute details. Eve and Patrick said “We both really get a lot of joy out of the little details of the day ie name places, limoncello favours, (I am working on making a newspaper as a secret to Patrick, we are having a movie screen for the kids, beer pong, Italian Mille feuille cake, gelato truck etc.”

It was such an honour to work alongside Made to Last films who was so much fun to work with! Eve is a photographer herself so really had a vision!

“We love the mixture of your natural relaxed candids or candid looking images & the occasional powerful posed shot! Whether candid or posed your images are very powerful, peoples faces seem to be very fresh and bright, we love your choice of colours when it comes to editing & the way you use natural light on peoples faces. I’ve also heard lots of lovely things about you as a person Hannah! Were here to have fun & get daring with the shots if there’s anything crazy you want to try!”

…And boy did they make it an incredible day to photograph!

Izzy and Sam were married at Grantley Hall and had all their family and friends along for the ride!

The morning was particularly special as it involved all the children! How cute are they all getting ready together! The kids played a big role in the wedding and were involved right up until party time!

The party went long into the night with The Function Band proving the amazing entertainment! They serenaded the guests during the wedding breakfast and got everyone up to dance – along with a bottle of Jägermeister!

Fireworks, live musicians, and the most epic night club party followed the wedding breakfast. What an epic day! Proving you can still have a child friendly wedding with a party atmosphere!

It’s a huge honour to be the recommended supplier at Grantley Hall for photography! Everytime I shoot here I know it’s going to be an amazing experience. this venue offers five star luxury from as soon as you drive in the gates and down the sweeping drive. It’s no suprise that the glamerous Indiah and Bradley chose this venue to get married! They decided on an incredible outdoor ceremony in the grounds by the lake and the weather was perfect! Such a showstooper of a set up by Fulford Flowers. The ceremony arch was stunning in all white with the house and gardens in the background. The guests had an amazing view!

But back to the morning! The Royal suite is set over two floors and Indiah and her girls made full use of this incredible space! The instagram famous Enya Doherty was Indiah’s make up artist and Abigairl Alexandria in charge of hair.  Indiah’s gorgeous little girl joined in the celebrations and Indiah dressed her and did her hair too – this made for such sweet photos! Bradley and the boys were next door and dressed head to tow in Hugo Boss and looking so sharp! They went to enjoy a beer on the terrace and to welcome the guests and I took this opportunity to get a few of the boys looking dapper!

The day passsed like a dream. The speeches were hearfelt and hilarious and were followed by a surprise firework show and champagne Tower! These guys sure knew how to party….

Katy and Myles, A winter wedding at Grantley Hall

Katy and Myles has glitzy, black tie December wedding at Grantley Hall. With a subtle nod to Christmas with all white styling – this really was an elegant looking wedding!

Katy said she wanted “a fun wedding that is ‘dress to impress’ with black tie for the men and evening dresses for the ladies. Myles loves to be the centre of attention, me not so much! But we’re very easy-going and just wants to have a fun wedding with lots of entertainment!” Katy and Myles really did entertain their guests! With a surprise circus performer, a huge Moet champagne tower and even the amazing Boyslife duo from Boyzone for the reception entertainment!

Katy shone all day in her Pronovias gown. When describing her dress, she said “It feels very ‘royalty’, which is the vibe I wanted. Still shows your figure but isn’t slim fit all the way to the floor, it comes out slightly from the waist.”

The boys were in tuxedos with the Groomsmen in white and Myles in black velvet…wow! Stems Design worked their magic with all the flowers and styling and the candlelit reception room looked magical. What a day from start to finish! Here are just a few previews from the wedding…
