If you’re planning a wedding at The Arches in Halifax, you’ll love these colourful photos for inspiration!
When Charlotte and Chris first got in touch with me about their wedding, I was so thrilled – they were planning a relaxed industrial-chic wedding at one of my favourite venues, The Arches.
When we met for their pre-wedding photoshoot, we got to chat more about their plans which included lots of fun and colour and a live band for the reception. I couldn’t wait to photograph the wedding!
The Ceremony
The wedding day took place at The Arches Dean Clough. Their gorgeous legal ceremony included a fab reading from the perspective of their cat Bobby (who sadly couldn’t make it), which was hilarious.
They had a live singer who sang Taylor Swift’s Daylight as the bridesmaids and bride walked down the aisle.
After the ceremony, they danced back down the aisle together, and then they were showered with confetti outside.
Portraits
Charlotte and Chris chose to say their personal vows to each other in private moment. So whilst their guests were enjoying canapes and craft beer, I photographed them as they read their vows to each other under the ceremony archway.
The floral arch made a beautiful backdrop for a few portraits afterwards, with stunning natural light from the wall of windows to one side.
The Reception
For the wedding breakfast, they had long trestle tables decorated with more flowers and lots of colour. It was so beautiful. Every guest had a scratch card as a wedding favour which was such a fun idea.
The Party
During the evening reception, they had a live band playing pop-punk and emo anthems, which went down a storm.
They also had arcade machines and a beer pong table which provided lots of great moments to photograph.
Here is Charlotte and Chris’ wedding story in photos:
