Camp Katur Wedding Photographer

I first met Leanne and Ian when Leanne ran up to my stall at a wedding fair in Harrogate. It was so nice to see her happy and excited face, so enthused about her wedding plans. When they told me they had planned to have a hand-fasting ceremony at their Camp Katur wedding I was extra giddy too! I love Camp Katur; it's outdoorsy and rustic, and I could tell Leanne and Ian were going to plan something amazing there, and they didn't disappoint.

Alternative Wedding Style

After sharing some of their wedding images online, I received numerous enquiries about Leanne's dress. She bought her magical, floaty crochet dress from a small business on Etsy. The relaxed style of the dress paired with a flower crown suited their venue and festival-themed wedding perfectly. Ian complemented her perfectly and wore a very suave brown 1970s-inspired suit.

Woodland Wedding

Camp Katur offers the perfect Outdoor Wedding space to hold your ceremony. Surrounded by trees, the Woodland Chapel creates a peaceful atmosphere for your guests. Leanne and Ian's close friends conducted a very personal service for their ceremony, followed by a group sing-along. Given Leanne's background in theatre and TV, it came as no surprise that there was some theatrics involved.

Festival Wedding Weekend

As the name suggests, Camp Katur is all about camping—or glamping. Not content with just one day, the Cooks invited their friends and family to stay for the full weekend. Taking advantage of the amazing camping space and glamping pods Camp Katur has to offer, their guests pitched up for the weekend and celebrated in style.

DIY Wedding Details

Right from the start, this wedding was a team effort, with friends and family all helping out to make their day extra special. From making their own buttonholes, stringing up lanterns, and setting the tables, everything about the day was personal to them and handmade with a lot of love.

Woodland Chapel Ceremony

Leanne and Ian married in 2015 before the woodland chapel was built at Camp Katur. Since their ceremony took place outdoors and civil ceremonies weren't legally recognised at the time, they opted for a hand-fasting ceremony conducted by close friends. Choosing a hand-fasting ceremony or a celebrant can really elevate your ceremony and make it feel super intimate and personal to you.

Hay Barn Wedding Reception

After spending the afternoon in the meadow, guests headed over to the Hay Barn for speeches and food. The natural light pouring through the Hay Barn is a photographer's dream, and the original brickwork of the barn adds so much warmth to the images. Leanne and Ian chose subtle styling for the barn, with natural vine hoops hung from the wooden beams and bud vases scattered across the room

heavy metal first dance

Nicely fueled on the ever-flowing Jagerbombs, the night drew darker, and guests retreated inside the Hay Barn for the evening festivities. The stage turned into a wild scene as wedding guests joined in freely on the microphone. With their first dance set to a beloved heavy metal song, there was no traditional slow dancing in sight. This was raw mosh-pit energy with arms in the air and screaming into each other's faces. And I absolutely loved it!
