As a Leeds wedding photographer, I have the privilege of capturing some of the most beautiful weddings in Yorkshire. Among the standout venues for summer weddings is Ponden Mill, this is the perfect spot for your outdoor rustic wedding.
The Beauty of Ponden Mill
Ponden Mill is truly one of a kind, steeped in history and surrounded by gorgeous landscapes ideal for wedding photography. Located just outside the charming village of Haworth, Ponden Mill offers a perfect rustic venue for your wedding. Haworth, famously known as the home of the Brontë sisters, draws visitors from across the globe with its iconic parsonage and cobbled streets. It’s an ideal spot for a romantic mini honeymoon following your big day. Lucy and Joe choose to stay in the pub in the centre of Haworth with their family and friends.
Wedding Preparations
Groom Joe and best man Harry got ready in near by Haworth and had some fun on the main street and we grabbed a few photographs before heading to Ponden Mill.
Lucy and the bridal party got ready at Ponden Mill and the light was perfect in the bedroom for some stunning wedding preparation photographs. This is an AirB&B rental that comes with the venue hire along with the downstairs living area and kitchen.















Outdoor wedding Ceremonies at Ponden Mill
Lucy and Joe chose a lovely afternoon ceremony for their special day with some perfect light and sunshine, but Ponden Mill also offers romantic evening Twilight ceremonies.
Their ceremony was nothing short of magical, taking place outdoors amidst the trees and beside the gentle stream. The incredibly talented Shona Crossan added a heartfelt touch, playing the piano and singing throughout. As Lucy walked down the aisle to their special song, Emmylou, there wasn’t a dry eye among the guests. The ceremony was a perfect mix of special moments and laughter, beautifully complemented by more of Shona's stunning music.





























Evening Celebrations at Ponden Mill
After some couple portraits and group photographs we moved onto speeches in the epically styled mill that was filled with flowers. The evening party got underway to the sound of the band The Poets and there so lots of fun and dancing and one or two drinks too!








What a fantastic day this was! Thank you so much to Lucy and Joe for having me!

Just Some Moments I will capture as part of the wedding day:
There are countless moments throughout your wedding day that deserve to be captured. Key moments to include are:
The Ceremony: Focus on the couple while capturing candid emotions of family and friends. This all happens naturally I love to capture this.
Candid Interactions: Genuine moments of joy, laughter, and love among you and your guests create the photo story of you day.
Couples’ and Group Portraits: Set aside a short amount of time for a portrait session; taken against the unique backdrops of Ponden Mill and surrounding hills and countryside.
Celebration: Capturing the joy and the lively dance floor, the heartfelt speeches, and overall vibe of celebration.
As a Leeds wedding photographer, my aim is to blend these moments into a natural flow that tells your unique story of your day.
Working with me - a Leeds Wedding Photographer
My goal is to blend seamlessly into the background, allowing your day to remain entirely about you and your guests and for me to capture those magical little moments. I strive to capture the moments candidly and naturally, without intruding or taking up too much of your time. Couples often say that they didn't even realise that I was there (in a good way!).
When it comes to capturing your wedding day, I truly believe the most best photographs come when everyone is feeling comfortable and relaxed. When you’re relaxed, your natural happiness shines through and we will create effortless photographs together. I spend time getting to know you and your vibe and all the things you have spent many months planning. I'm also very relaxed and easy going and good at putting the most camera shy at ease.
I also offer pre-wedding shoots, as they are a great way to feel comfortable in front of the camera before your big day.
As a Leeds wedding photographer, being part of such joyful celebrations is something I truly cherish. It’s always an honour to be included in your special day and to capture those unforgettable moments.
Preparing for Unpredictable Weather
Yorkshire summers can be unpredictable, so it's important to prepare for any weather scenario. Having a backup plan is wise. Ponden Mill offers indoor options that can still embody the romantic vibe of the venue.
If you’re dreaming of your wedding in this enchanting setting, I encourage you to explore Ponden Mill. With its extraordinary charm and breathtaking surroundings, your wedding experience will truly be elevated. Let's collaborate to beautifully capture your outdoor wedding memories for a lifetime!
