Inspired by the gallery room at Birdsall House, local photographer Hollie Horn set out with her team of local wedding professionals to create a shoot focused on bridal portraits and pastel florals. Due to the venue's innate grandeur they opted for paired back luxury with a large floral arch as the only decor.
Ria and Cavill met the modern way, on Tinder, towards the end of lockdown. “It wasn't exactly a fairy tale but it didn't stop us having a fairytale wedding!” Ria says. Or indeed the dream proposal, since Cavill got down on one knee and popped the question in The Maldives.
The couple said “I do” at Beverley Minster followed by celebrations at Rise Hall. Once they laid eyes on the latter, it was an easy decision. “The grounds, rooms and service immediately presented as impeccable,” Ria explains. “It was a stunning period property and beautifully grand. Plus, the team was so friendly, yet professional.” The final big box ticked for them was the locality of the venue, not to mention the fact they'd already had a great experience of what a wedding day here would be like having served as best man and bridesmaid at a loved one's big day at Rise Hall.
