Gemma & Danny’s Evening Wedding Celebration — The Lost & Found Leeds Club
— Leeds Wedding Photography

The Saturday following their beautiful Civic Hall ceremony, Gemma & Danny gathered their friends and family for a relaxed, laughter-filled evening reception at the atmospheric The Lost & Found Leeds Club In the heart of Leeds. The moody rooms glowed with golden light as conversations flowed, champagne sparkled, and heartfelt speeches touched everyone present.

I always look for those small, candid moments — like the couple and their friends beneath the glowing “shhh” neon sign — and use natural light to preserve the authentic atmosphere exactly as it was. These images capture personality, genuine connection, and the joy of celebrating with the people you love.

Evening Fun and Personality at The Lost & Found Leeds Club

A glowing neon “Sshhh” sign above the entrance set the playful tone for the evening. One of my favourite photos captures Gemma and Danny with their best man and maid of honour, all sharing the same cheeky gesture — shown in both vibrant colour and timeless black and white. I always provide couples with options, so they can experience the full feel of these moments.

Whether wide shots or close-ups, every image reflects the personalities and friendships that made the night so special — just as the evening naturally unfolded. Natural colour, no heavy editing, and always the genuine story.

Moments later, their laughter followed —
the perfect kind of unscripted joy.

Capturing the Atmosphere with Available Light

I shoot every wedding using the available light — even in darker, moodier venues like Lost & Found Leeds Club. No flash, no interruptions, no posing.

This approach lets me capture the genuine mood and energy of the evening exactly as it was experienced. The rich colours, soft shadows, and spontaneous moments all become part of the story.

Plus, with minimal editing time, Gemma and Danny received their full gallery the very next day.

Speeches, Laughter, and a Quiet Moment to Remember

As more friends and family gathered for the evening celebration, Gemma and Danny chose this special night to share their speeches. The rich, warm colours of The Lost & Found Leeds Club interior set the perfect backdrop — atmospheric and full of feeling.

Danny’s speech was heartfelt, especially his touching words for his son, who stood nearby alongside the bride and best man by the bar. Guests gathered close, listening with smiles and tears, soaking in the unmistakable joy of a Leeds wedding filled with love.

The best man’s speech brought more laughter and smiles, followed by a quiet, unforgettable moment — their young son stood up to speak, and the whole room hushed in support. The first dance came next, beautifully captured in the soft, moody evening light — a perfect close to a joyous Leeds wedding celebration.
