The Venue Bowers Mill Wedding Photography

Laid-back, chic and rustic wedding vibes in the Yorkshire countryside – starring Betsy the dog (and her humans!)

The Venue Bowers Mill Wedding Photography
Rustic, spacious, relaxed, and run by the pros, The Venue Bowers Mill is an award-winning gem in the Yorkshire countryside. The former textile mill has iron pillars, high ceilings, wooden floors and exposed brickwork, it’s packed with industrial character and good vibes to capture in your Bowers Mill wedding photography.
I joined Emily and Ashley with one instruction - to do whatever I wanted! They completely trusted me to document their story in my signature style as their Bowers Mill wedding photographer at The Venue. This laid-back pair had planned a chilled day for everyone to enjoy, and of course, their fluffy little legend Betsy the dog joined them and stole our hearts! They also booked a pre-wedding photoshoot, so they felt at ease in front of the camera and knew my stress-free way of working would fit with their plans and personalities.
Bowers Mill Wedding Photography – The Venue
Not only is the venue unique to look at, but it’s also super flexible with space to adapt to the size and style of every wedding. Having Bowers Mill Aparthotel next door also means there’s somewhere for guests to stay after dancing into the night, so no need to worry about transport. Ceremonies can take place outside by the lake at the pagoda, or in The Spinning Room overlooking the rooftops of Bowers Mill and endless Yorkshire countryside.
The Venue Bowers Mill wedding photography gives me loads of opportunities to include unique industrial features in epic portraits, as well as framing natural documentary moments and details. The Bowers Suite is a spacious open-plan room on the old factory floor that can be divided up for different parts of your wedding day. With huge windows and a high ceiling for an added wow factor, it’s ideal for banquet-style wedding breakfasts, and the food here is next level. What makes it even better is the expert Bowers Mill weddings team - they know what’s what when it comes to weddings, and it shows!
Emily and Ashley’s wedding at The Venue Bowers Mill
Emily and Ashley got ready on-site and started the day with laid-back drinks with their wedding parties. Emily had chosen a boho dress by All Who Wander, from Ava Rose Hamilton, the added tulle sleeves and veil created an awesome look, especially with her Converse bridal trainers
Ashley’s groomsmen wore brown tweed suits from Jenson Samuel, with sage green accents to match the bridesmaids. Betsy the dog was with them, looking fabulous in her little wedding outfit and enjoying lots of cuddles. The boys had a big part to play as Ashley waited for Emily to arrive in the Spinning Room for their ceremony… FLOWER DUDES! They scattered those petals with style! As they said their vows, Betsy looked up adoringly at her humans… and then had a little snooze – it’s hard work being such a legend!!
