Chloe & Joe | Woodlands Hotel Leeds Wedding
Chloe and Joe were married on 15th September 2019, celebrating their wedding day at Woodlands Hotel in Leeds, West Yorkshire. Set within peaceful woodland just outside the city centre, Woodlands offers a relaxed countryside feel while still being easy for guests to reach.
The day began with full morning coverage, capturing Chloe and her bridesmaids as they got ready at the venue. Despite a slightly dramatic start — with Chloe involved in a minor car accident on the way to Woodlands — everyone arrived safely, the dress was unscathed, and the day quickly got back on track. Once the excitement settled, the focus shifted to finishing touches, calm moments, and the build-up before the ceremony.
The ceremony itself took place in Woodlands Hotel’s ceremony room overlooking the grounds. With a soft pastel lilac colour theme running throughout — from chair sashes to flowers — the space felt light, personal and full of warmth. Chloe and Joe’s connection was clear from the start; they spent much of the ceremony laughing together, completely at ease and clearly enjoying every moment.
With a large wedding party — six bridesmaids and six groomsmen — the drinks reception and group photos were lively but relaxed. Large groups can often feel chaotic, but the atmosphere stayed fun and unforced, with plenty of natural moments alongside a handful of more traditional group shots.
Guests then moved inside for the wedding breakfast, followed by speeches — one of the most entertaining parts of the day. Stories, reactions and plenty of laughter filled the room, making it a great chance to capture genuine expressions from both the couple and their guests.
After the meal, there was a short pause while the room was turned around for the evening reception. Guests made the most of the bar area before evening celebrations began and additional guests arrived.
As everyone gathered on the dancefloor, Chloe had planned a surprise for Joe. What appeared to be the start of their first dance quickly turned into a slideshow she’d prepared — a thoughtful collection of memories from Joe’s childhood through to recent years. Completely unexpected, it was a genuinely emotional moment, met with big reactions from Joe and everyone watching.
With the room already full, Chloe and Joe moved straight into their first dance. Relaxed, playful and full of laughter, it perfectly reflected the tone of the day. From there, guests joined the couple on the dancefloor, rounding off a wedding that flowed naturally from morning preparations through to the evening celebrations.
