LAUREN & STEPHEN: A CRATHORNE HALL WEDDING

REAL WEDDINGS

Choosing Crathorne Hall to host their wedding was a decision made easy for Lauren and Stephen. Captivated by this grand and stately building and the impeccably lawned gardens, Crathorne Hall encapsulated all that the couple had dreamed of for their special day. A magnificent Edwardian country house, situated in 15 acres of private grounds on the edge of the Yorkshire Moors created the most splendid backdrop for CARRO Studio to weave a little of their wedding magic. As a family-run business with a wealth of knowledge in wedding photography and videography, the venue provided a golden opportunity to take some stunning images of the events of the day. 

Looking radiant in a ball gown style wedding dress with delicate lace detail and a gorgeous sweeping train, Lauren looked every inch the blushing bride as she paired her look with a hand-tied posy of calla lilies and roses in subtle shades of lilac and rich, deep purple tones. While Stephen opted for a smart grey three-piece morning suit with patterned waistcoat and cravat, the bridesmaids wore simple and sophisticated gowns in a beautiful mulberry hue, tying in with the colour scheme perfectly. 

The hall was ready to take centre stage as Lauren walked down the aisle. With ornate, high ceilings, a single majestic, gold candelabra shining its light on the ceremony to spectacular views of the manicured grounds. Crathorne Hall opened its arms to friends and family, promising them a day of love and laughter and a lifetime of wonderful memories. Following the ceremony, wedding photographer CARRO Studio took full advantage of the magnificent surroundings and captured some delightful images of the newlyweds sharing those special little moments with wedding guests, creating a bespoke package of memories to share and remember for years to come.
