Your wedding photography at The Manor House in Lindley, Huddersfield is the perfect experience to create beautiful forever memories

Welcome to the Manor House in Lindley, on the outskirts of Huddersfield; with its large iron gates, stone pillared walls and sweeping drive it is evidently clear we are approaching something special; something extraordinary. Indeed, we are, as the Manor House, Lindley stands out in its current luxurious form. A magnificent architectural delight of grandeur that plays host to a hotel, restaurant and more significantly a rather prestigious and highly recommended wedding venue. As a photographer who has photographed weddings here a number of times, I hear guests commenting that the Manor House is a wedding venue with the 'wow' factor!

The grade II listed Manor House building sits on Lidgett Lane, Lindley; a small suburb to the northwest of Huddersfield which it shares with the Huddersfield Royal Infirmary hospital and a cluster of stone-fronted independent shops. It is thought the name Lindley derived from either the Saxon word meaning ‘flax meadow’ or the Germanic word ‘lind’ which denotes an area of linden (or lime) trees. There seems to be no definitive answer as to where the name originates. Lindley is, however, a desirable market town to live in and visit. Up until 2018, the Manor House was a derelict Georgian mansion and former children’s home. It was not until interior designer and entrepreneur Sara Presley was jogging past that the house was found and its fortunes changed. After her purchase, Presley began the renovation to its present glorious state to the tune of £5.5m. Her interior design skills are apparent when The Manor House was named the best interior design in the North, at the 16th Northern Design Awards. 

Now complete, the Manor House is a luxury hotel and one of the most prestigious and highly recommended wedding venues in Yorkshire. The Manor House consists of 11 bedrooms, two restaurants, three bars (including the Coach House), a roof terrace, a fitness suite and an events space. Light is used to great effect in the building, both aesthetically and functionally due to the large floor-to-ceiling windows. The theme words that describe the venue for weddings are rustic, whimsical, industrial and modern.

The sandstone walls and pillars at the entrance are repeated in the newly designed Manor House. The contemporary building oozes architectural design finesse and style in abundance. Outside this is combined with lush greenery and beautiful flowers throughout the spring, summer and autumn producing exterior wedding photo opportunities aplenty.

Indeed, if you choose the Manor House as your wedding venue, you'll soon see it's the place where industrial design meets the stuff whimsical fairytales are made of. Actually, the Coach House (where wedding ceremonies and breakfasts take place) could easily be the setting for a production of William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. 

The design is a blend of styles that merge together with purpose as one moves from one to another. Overall, the design proudly states ‘industrial’ with whispers of ‘cottage’, ‘delicate’, ‘regal’, ‘grandeur’ . . . with natural colours, browns, and textures from natural materials, stone, brick, leather, wood as each is juxtaposed with subtle contrast. Even the artificial light sources are designed to reflect nature and contrast with the style of other materials in the room.

For weddings the Manor House is perfect. Suppose you want contemporary wedding photographs, express style with a blend of humans working in harmony with nature. Then, the Manor House in conjunction with the Coach House is a very accomplished and deserving wedding venue.

To the front of the house, large pillars stand proudly and announce the regal entrance. Offering fantastic opportunities for portrait photos as the couple stand proud of the natural stone background giving warmth to the images. The building with its Georgian design is a natural backdrop for the wedding party to join the couple for another picture opportunity. Standing before the building’s frontage is the geometric-styled garden; of which a water fountain is the main piece that lends itself to another opportunity for fine art portraiture.

The stone pillars give photos a regal yet contemporary appeal at the Manor House.

The sweeping driveway of the Manor House gently rises to the elegant entrance and is a picture-perfect spot for your wedding photographs as the impressive pillars stand by the two of you. River Xavier photography constantly strives to present you with forever wedding moments you didn't realise had happened. 

Taking centre stage as the drive sweeps around is the grand stone water fountain, the perfect prop for your timeless wedding portrait photos. 

A juxtaposition of different luxury materials brings style with substance to your wedding images

Behind the Manor House is The Coach House, a stark textured room that could be home to intimate theatrical plays where the focus is purely on the performers. It is in The Coach House that your wedding ceremony will be held. Besides intimacy, the room is relaxing and adorned with earthy tones which allow the artificial trees to become centrepieces and add a magical, whimsical effect to the marriage ceremony and brings the guests close to the wedding couple to bring a feeling of family, support and love. For the bride, the whimsical feeling can be enhanced further with the choice of theme and personal decor of her dress and accessories. To bring a sense of harmony to the reception through natural adornments, using natural colours and textural information. After the service is complete the ceremony is quickly turned around to become a rather quaint room for the wedding breakfast. The whimsical theme continued.

 

The interior shows a simple style that allows your wedding theme to be the focus. Textured walls continue the whimsical yet industrious feel. The main focus of the ceremony will be you and your wedding. The neutral earthy colours allow simple and elegant decorations to look beautiful for your wedding day at the Manor House. The symmetrical design of the lighting will focus your wedding guests on the centrepiece as the lighting decoration holds a delicate leaf shape to continue with the texture and earthy feel. Once the guests arrive one feels they are in for a classical performance as your beautiful; stylish wedding story unfolds. 

The Coach House bar at the Manor House, Lindley, is a fantastic location for you and your loved one to have a series of exquisite portrait photographs taken. During your wedding breakfast is the perfect time for River Xavier to whisk you back into the bar area to capture and create beautiful photographs that are certain to look amazing in your wedding album. Check your wedding dress as it drapes whilst we put you at ease and gently guide you into the perfect position. In the Coach House, the genuine parquet flooring indicates the attention to detail in the Coach House at the Manor House. This is reflected throughout the building and creates a stunning industrial design style for your wedding portrait photographs.

The Coach House welcomes the bride into the ceremony room and as a documentary wedding photographer, I'll be there to capture the moment your guests see your wedding dress for the first time. The striking moments of emotion as the bride is led down the aisle in the ceremony room at The Manor House.

As throughout the rest of the Manor House light enters the landing in abundance.

Under the guidance of Sarah Presley's style makes the Manor House combined with the Coach House a perfect venue for your wedding. The bar in the Coach House announces style through its urban tones. Geometrically shaped mirrors line the main wall above the bar enhancing the illusion of space.

Besides being a great break-out room for guests; this room makes ideal-styled portraits for the bride and groom. Outside of the venue's wall there are also photo opportunities for the bride and groom to seize.
