A Natural Summer Wedding at Whitley Hall, Yorkshire


Steph & Lewis’s Yorkshire summer wedding was pure joy,  relaxed, emotional and full of personality. Set at the stunning Wentworth Church & Whitley Hall wedding venue, their day blended rustic elegance, natural beauty and candid moments, all shared with their favourite people.


From School Friends to Soulmates


Their love story began at secondary school as friends, before life took them in different directions. Seven years later, fate (and a few local pub quizzes!) brought them back together and the rest is history.


A Dream Santorini Proposal


In October 2021, Lewis planned the ultimate romantic proposal in Santorini, finding the perfect hidden spot overlooking the Three Bells of Thira. As the sun dipped over the Caldera, he popped the question, unforgettable, emotional and perfectly them.


Why They Chose Whitley Hall Wedding Venue


For their big day, Steph & Lewis chose Whitley Hall, Yorkshire for its historic charm, beautiful grounds and relaxed countryside feel. With meaningful local connections and stunning photo opportunities, it was the perfect setting for a natural, documentary-style wedding.


Wedding Style: Rustic, Natural & Effortlessly Elegant


Think wildflowers, lush greenery and soft summer vibes. Their styling perfectly matched the venue and season, creating a laid-back yet elegant atmosphere that photographed beautifully.


A Surprise Soundtrack Moment


One unforgettable highlight? The organist playing Bohemian Rhapsody during the signing of the registers,  a fun, unexpected moment that had guests smiling and laughing.


The Most Emotional Moment


The moment Steph walked down the aisle. That first look, surrounded by family and friends, was everything  emotional, joyful and completely authentic.


Wedding Planning Tips from the Couple


✔ Create a wedding website

✔ Use a dedicated wedding email

✔ Keep communication simple and stress-free
