Holdsworth House, located in Halifax, is one of my favourite local wedding venues – just around the corner from me. Known for its beautiful gardens and rich history, it’s also been featured in several TV shows, including the popular Happy Valley (a fun detail for fans!). I’ve been lucky enough to photograph multiple weddings here, and it never disappoints.
From intimate courtyard ceremonies to celebrations in the elegant rooms, Holdsworth House offers a perfect blend of charm and character, with endless opportunities for stunning wedding photographs in every season.

From my experience photographing Halifax weddings, The Moorlands Halifax is one of those venues that just feels right the moment you arrive. Tucked just a stone’s throw from Ogden and next to the well-loved Moorlands Inn, it offers a brilliant mix of rustic charm and flexibility. I’ve captured outdoor ceremonies here framed by open skies, and the marquee interior is always beautifully styled – perfect for hosting up to 160 guests. The flow from ceremony to wedding breakfast is seamless, and by the evening, with the in-house DJ keeping everyone on the dance floor, the place truly comes alive.

The Bowers Mill in Ripponden has to be my most popular wedding venue – I’ve photographed weddings here over 30 times, and it never loses its charm. With its rustic-industrial style, exposed brick walls, and original mill features, it’s a dream backdrop for couples who want style with real character. The spacious layout works beautifully for both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations, and being just outside Halifax means you get countryside views with guest accommodation close by. Every time I shoot here, I find a new angle or detail that makes each wedding feel completely unique.
