Wood Hall Wedding Photography
Wood Hall Wedding Photography
As a busy Yorkshire wedding photographer, I get to work at all the best Yorkshire wedding venues, and this is certainly the case working with my Wood Hall wedding photography. This exclusive use luxury country house venue is situated the most stunning location that enjoys unrivalled views of the Yorkshire countryside.
The historically rich Wood Hall Estate was designed by the famous Yorkshire architect John Carr and the present building was erected in 1750. The House still boasts many of its original features that have been lovingly restored and enhanced to create the perfect blend of old world charm with modern luxury.
When I capture wedding photography at Wood Hall Hotel, my day always starts in their large and spacious suites, which are the ideal place for the wedding parties to gather together to get ready. They are so large that they can accommodation the entire wedding party, a make-up artist, a hairstylist and one very unobtrusive West Yorkshire wedding photographer, there to capture those all-important morning of the wedding images.
Wedding Photography at Wood Hall
For wedding ceremonies, Wood Hall offer two distinctly different spaces indoors and one outdoors. The first of the indoor spaces is The Georgian. This lovingly restored room has light décor with charming period features, fine art and antique mirrors on its wood panelled walls and an ornate fire place. Though my favourite feature of the room is the floor to ceiling windows, that not only offer wonderful views of the Wharfe Valley, but also flood the room with tons of natural light. Light that I can play with to create even more beautiful images. Georgian can accommodate 80 seated guests for a wedding ceremony and/or a wedding breakfast with more for an evening celebration.
The newly refurbished Vavasour Suite has all the grandeur and glamour you would expect from a period country house with vast windows, impressive chandeliers and a light neutral décor allowing you to dress the room to your scheme. Though is so beautiful it needs little adornment. The Vavasour Suite can accommodate up to 100 seated guests for a wedding ceremony and/or a wedding breakfast with more for an evening celebration.
Planning your wedding at Wood Hall
If you’d prefer an outdoor ceremony, Wood Hall Hotel offer two beautiful spots. You can choose to say your vows amongst the pretty floral archways and neatly bordered lawns of the Italian Gardens, that also have spectacular views across the meadows and Wharfe Valley. In Summer months, the Italian Gardens also make a great location for your drink’s reception.
Or you can get married out the front of the house, with your guests seated on the smart gravelled drive, and you saying your vows at the entrance of the house, framed by the grand pillars. When I capture wedding photography at Wood Hall Hotel, the steps at the front of the house is a great location for group photos and capturing fun confetti moments. Both outdoor wedding locations can accommodate up to 100 stead guests for civil ceremonies.
When I capture wedding photography at Wood Hall Hotel & Spa, I like to take my couples for a mini photoshoot around the beautiful gardens and grounds of the Estate. And with 100- acres of beautiful woodland and parkland on offer, I’m spoilt for choice for stunning backdrops in my images. If the weather doesn’t allow us to wander too far, the house itself provides a beautiful backdrop for romantic portrait images.
