Leeds Wedding Photography - Elopement in the city, Leeds City Centre elopement inspiration - Gemma & Charlene

These 2 have been together years yet their love still shows like it’s still very much new. So, when they popped themselves forward to be a part of this shoot, it was inevitable they would be chosen!

Working with Vickie from Spectacular Scenes Styling & Flowers, the aim was to showcase just how beautiful a wedding day could be if you wanted to do it alone or just with family. Little did we know, a year it would become the ‘norm’. Getting married truly should be everything you’ve ever wanted…for some that’s on a black beach in Iceland, a white rooftop in Santorini or on a farm with a Yurt. For others it’s visiting the town hall and getting pizza after,going to Vegas or saying ‘I Do’ in the park. However, you don’t see too much of the low key beautiful escapes that take place in the UK, so we created something just for you!

A Romantic Elopement in the City.

The Theme: Summer Romance - lace, pink, flowers

Getting Ready was a super chilled affair. Lydia and Siobhan, from Chandler Beauty, created two complimentary, romantic make up looks and the ladies did their own hair. Using pinks and rose golds,these looks fit perfectly with theme. Pink Satin Bow Heels for Gemma, who wore an incredible bespoke gown from Perfect Fit Bridal Couture with a match embellished veil. Gemma wore a white tailored suit from Emma Willis at Next and a pale pink pair of brogues with Parisian lace detail from everything 5 pounds.

Vickie created a unique set of floral arrangements with Charlene having a white and floral hoop and Gemma, having a wild floral bouquet. With Perfect Fit Bridal Couture been located just a short walk from the City Centre, we got ready in the boutique with assistance from Wendie, before heading out. Visiting Belgrave Music Hall before heading up to the Town Hall. Leeds Town Hall has a lovely aesthetic with concrete pillars and black and gold doors, creating a perfect backdrop for photos.

The after party involved a bottle of champers and some epic personalised popcorn from GB Elegant Events in London. We headed over to Viaduct Showbar for a couple of drinks and couples photos under the Rainbow Bridge, before having a walk around Leeds to find some hidden spots for photos.
