New Craven Hall is a gorgeous, relaxed, industrial Wedding Venue in the Heart of Leeds, West Yorkshire. This is where I had the pleasure of photographing and filming the wedding of two wonderful people – Rheanne and Ryan. I’ve picked out some of their best bits below, and don’t forget to give their Wedding Film a watch!

Bridesmaids, Bridesmaids and more Bridesmaids!

I arrived in the morning of their special day, to a house filled to the brim with bridesmaids all chatting, laughing, doing hair, make up and drinking bubbly – as any good Bridal Prep is like! Rheanne was bobbing around between them and other lovely family in attendance! The atmosphere was buzzing and it was so good to get stuck in the middle. My second shooter Amy was with Ryan and his groomsmen, getting ready at a different house, and they were lucky enough to have two pugs keeping them company! (Definitely check them out in the images and video!) The lads set off to have a pre-wedding drink, whilst the mother of the bride helped her daughter into her stunning Wedding Dress. There were a few tears as presents were exchanged, and when she came down the stairs in her dress, it was tears and warm feelings all round!

Gorgeous Church Ceremony

The ceremony was lovely, set in a stunningly romantic church. Afterwards, we all braved the mid-summer heat, and went outside for some photos. Sherman the Pug was there for a while, and we made sure to capture him on some pictures before we let him go home to cool off! After the photographs and an awesome confetti tunnel, we whisked Ryan & Rheanne off to a park nearby so we could do their Couple Photo Shoot. They could also have a bit of time alone. We had a walk around the park, lots of laughs, a glass of champagne and then hurried back to rejoin the party.

Super Cool Industrial Venue

To say I live fairly close to Leeds, I’d never been to New Craven Hall before – but oh wow! I really was missing out. It’s got very modern, unique, industrial vibes, yet maintains a relaxed, bespoke, inclusive atmosphere with plenty of quirks and party aesthetics. The evening was brilliant, with some hilarious speeches from the Father of the Bride, Groom and Best Man. However, after the meal, that’s when all the fun started! Rheanne and Ryan had a great crowd of friends and family who made the evening feel lively and fun.

All my love to this epic couple – and Sherman The Pug!
