The Holiday Inn Leeds Brighouse, while it may not immediately conjure up the traditional charm of older venues, offers a surprisingly warm and versatile setting for weddings. As a wedding videographer, I find that venues like this present unique opportunities to capture vibrant, joy-filled celebrations that are all about the people and their interactions.
Located conveniently just off the M62, this modern hotel provides an easily accessible location for guests traveling from various parts of the UK. The hotel itself is set against the backdrop of the rolling hills of West Yorkshire, offering some lovely outdoor photographic opportunities, particularly around the landscaped grounds and by the picturesque courtyard.
Inside, the Holiday Inn Leeds Brighouse has a selection of function rooms that can be transformed to fit the theme of any wedding. The Clifton Suite, with its own private bar and dance floor, is a popular choice for receptions and allows for plenty of creative lighting and décor options to enhance the festive atmosphere. The natural light streaming through during the daytime adds a soft, pleasant glow to the indoor scenes, making it easier to capture beautiful footage without resorting to too much artificial lighting.
Another appealing aspect of this venue is the dedicated team that helps with the planning and execution of the wedding day. Their professionalism ensures that the day runs smoothly, which is incredibly helpful from a videography standpoint, as it allows me to focus on capturing the moments as they unfold naturally.
While filming at the Holiday Inn Leeds Brighouse, I also make sure to utilise the hotel's contemporary features, like the modern lounge and bar area, which can add a stylish urban touch to the wedding film. These areas provide a great backdrop for capturing guests mingling and enjoying the celebration.
Overall, the Holiday Inn Leeds Brighouse offers a functional and contemporary space for weddings, where the emphasis can really be on the celebration and the personal stories of the day. It’s a venue that might surprise you with its potential for warmth and festivity, making it a solid choice for modern couples looking for convenience and reliability in their wedding venue.
"We don’t even know where to start! Hiring Chris to shoot our wedding video was the BEST decision we made for our wedding. From the first meeting we had to discuss his style and approach, we knew we were on to the right person. Chris’ attention to detail is parallel to none."
"We weren’t originally going to get a videographer but it was worth every penny. The whole day is so much to process that you forget bits after. Having this video to treasure forever was the perfect way to cure the wedding blues."
"Before meeting Chris, we weren’t sure how to appear on film. After working with him, we felt completely comfortable, and he captured every organic moment we wanted."
I film a limited number of weddings each year so I can give each one proper time in planning, filming and the edit.
My collections are set up for larger, family-centred days and full weekend celebrations, where film is a key part of the budget and the experience.

I work with up to twenty couples a year. If you are planning a big, emotional day and your wedding film is a priority, I would love to hear about it.
