If there’s one wedding we’ll never forget, it’s Leonie and Paul’s. From the moment we arrived and asked Leonie, “Are you ready, babes?” to her iconic response, “I was f***ing BORN READY!”, we knew this day was going to be something else.
This pair are wild. Wild! Their energy, their style, and their unapologetic ‘we’ll do what we like’ attitude made their day nothing short of legendary. Shooting their colourful wedding, as their wedding photographers and videographers, was an absolute privilege, and we’re so excited to share all the amazing details with you.
Let’s talk about Leonie and Paul’s wild colourful wedding at Falcon Manor.
A Wild Wedding at Falcon Manor
A Wedding Day Like No Other!
Leonie and Paul brought their A-game when it came to personalising their colourful wedding at Falcon Manor. It was the perfect mix of chaotic fun and lovely moments.
They threw tradition out the window and made their wedding a reflection of their personalities, and it just worked.
Every single detail had their stamp on it. From Leonie’s bespoke wedding dress, designed together with help from @georginascottbridal, to the individual bracelets, baubles, andwelcome boxes she put together for every guest staying at the venue (so cute, right?), everything felt so them.
They celebrated at a dark and moody wedding venue in Seattle, North Yorkshire, called Falcon Manor. Tucked away at the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, it’s the sort of place that manages to feel big and intimate all at once. The epic staircase, the terrace with those views, and the warm, inviting dark interiors gave their day that “home away from home” vibe they were after.
The team at Falcon Manor were absolute legends, and it’s easy to see why couples rave about their weddings here. Whether you’re after a cosy indoor ceremony or something outdoors, this place has it all.
And honestly, the way Leonie and Paul styled their wedding at Falcon Manor? Flawless.
The surprises didn’t stop coming either. From the playful steel pan music during the drinks reception (shoutout to Francis the Solo Sensation!) to the bride walking in wearing a pair of iconic @manoloblahniks, it was a proper “Sex and the City” moment.
Paul rocked a sharp suit from @marcdarcysuits paired with @drmartensofficial, keeping the vibe laid-back but cool.
And did we mention they had tattoo artists (@izit_ink) set up during the reception? That’s the kind of wild energy we’re talking about!
Leonie also planned every single detail herself, using her wedding as a launchpad for a new creative business. It’s clear she poured her heart into it. Every little touch, from the stationery by @fierceldndesigns to the signage and favours, screamed her signature bold and beautiful style.
Keeping It Together (Just About)
Now, let’s talk about the behind-the-scenes madness because, of course, no wedding day is without its drama. This one had its fair share, but not all of it happened on-site.
While we were soaking in the buzz of Leonie and Paul’s day, our little girl managed to break her arm. Yep, proper parenting guilt hit hard. But we powered through! My mum didn’t believe it was broken (classic grandma move), but I could tell straight away via FaceTime.
Somehow, we held it together, captured every amazing moment, and then dashed home at 3am. By 7am, we were sat in A&E confirming what we already knew.
Honestly, looking back now, it’s a bit of a blur, but you’ve got to laugh, right?
