Photographing a Wedding in Halifax

Calderdale is all stone houses, steep valleys and open moorland, and it makes a beautiful backdrop whatever the weather does.

I’ll quietly follow your day from start to finish, then take you away for about twenty minutes of portraits wherever the light is best.

With the Signature or Complete package we’ll pop out again after sunset for fifteen minutes of twilight pictures.

Halifax Venues I Know

These are the venues around Halifax I photograph. Each one has its own page with more about the venue and the real weddings I’ve photographed there.

Holdsworth House

Holdsworth House is on Holdsworth Road, about two miles north of Halifax town centre. You can marry indoors in the Stuart, Abraham Brigg, Ayrton or De Aldworth rooms, in the garden for up to 120 from May to September, or in the Colonnade Courtyard for up to 60. See Ema & Tim’s and Shannon & Scott’s weddings.

The Moorlands Inn

A bride and groom smile at each other while leaning on a wooden railing outdoors at The Moorlands Inn Halifax. The bride wears a lace wedding dress, and the groom is in a suit with a tie. A stone wall completes this perfect wedding photography backdrop.

The Moorlands Inn is on Keighley Road at Ogden, with a Marquee for 200 seated and the Loft for 60, both licensed for ceremonies, and a balcony off the Loft looking out over the moors. Have a look at Lucy & Ryan’s wedding.
