Holly & Arthurs romantic vintage styled Victoria Hall wedding...

Holly & Arthur’s Beautiful Wedding at Victoria Hall, Saltaire


Some weddings just have that perfect mix of love, family, and fun—and Holly and Arthur’s day at Victoria Hall in Saltaire was exactly that. This was our first wedding at Victoria Hall and from getting ready at their family homes to dancing the night away under the twinkling lights, it was a day we’ll never forget. Here are some of the highlights from their special day...

A chilled out start


Holly and Arthur both started their day at their respective family homes, and it was such a joy to see how connected they both are to their families. Holly got ready surrounded by her mum, her bridesmaids, and the calmest energy you could imagine for a wedding morning.


Arthur’s side was just as laid-back, with his family helping him get suited up and ready to go. The whole morning had this warm, relaxed vibe that set the tone for the rest of the day.



A Church ceremony and a dash to beat the rain


Their ceremony was held in a charming little church not far from Saltaire, and let us tell you—it was such a heartfelt moment. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room by the time Holly and Arthur exchanged their vows. When the ceremony ended, the guests formed a long confetti line down the old stone steps of the church, giving us one of those picture-perfect wedding moments!


But here’s the thing about British weather—it keeps you on your toes. As soon as the confetti was thrown, the rain decided to make an appearance. We sprinted back up the steps just in time to capture some family photos before the umbrellas came out. Honestly, the quick dash made for some fun candid moments, and it all added to the day’s charm.

Victoria Hall: A Stunning and historic venue


Victoria Hall in Saltaire was the perfect venue for Holly and Arthur’s reception. If you’ve never been, it’s one of those grand, historic spaces that instantly makes you feel like you’ve stepped into something special.


Saltaire itself is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for its rich history as a model Victorian village. You can feel that history everywhere you look, and Victoria Hall is such a cool spot for a wedding—think high ceilings, gorgeous architecture, and so much natural light.


Plus the dusty pink tones on the walls just give the most romantic vintage feel and Holly & Arthurs florals matched PERFECTLY!



Golden hour wanders through iconic spots


After some mingling and laughs during the reception, we took a little walk around Saltaire for portraits. It’s such a photogenic area, and we couldn’t resist stopping by some of the village’s iconic spots. Watching the sun set over Salts Mill was pure magic and one of those moments that reminds you how special wedding photography can be.


We even stopped for a quick snap outside Saltaire Bridal, where Holly had found her gorgeous dress. What a full circle moment!

The perfect first dance


The evening celebrations kicked off in style, with Holly and Arthur nailing a choreographed first dance that felt so “them.” It was sweet, romantic, and just a little bit playful—the kind of moment that makes you grin behind the camera.


After that, the dance floor filled up fast, and the live band brought the energy to the next level. Watching everyone dance and celebrate with Holly and Arthur was the perfect way to end such a wonderful day.
