If you want to get married and looking for a magical place, then a Holdsworth House Wedding in Halifax is exactly what you need. This is a venue full of history, surrounded by beautiful gardens. It’s the perfect place for weddings and events. Let me share my unique experience as a wedding photographer at this stunning venue.

 

An Unplanned Opportunity  – Your Perfect Holdsworth House Wedding Day.

My wife, Luiza, was a bridal makeup artist. She was booked to do make-up for the bride, bridesmaids, and mothers-in-law at Holdsworth House. I wasn’t hired as the wedding photographer as the couple had already booked someone with months in advance. But I had to drive Luiza to the venue, and while waiting for her to finish the make-up, I decided to take some photos.

The wedding had a Jurassic Park theme. The bride’s mom, Jan, had made all the decorations by hand, and they were incredible. So much dedication and effort! So, I have decided to aske the bride if I could take a few detail shots, and she happily agreed. The venue and decorations were stunning, and I couldn’t resist capturing the magic.

After we got home, I edited the photos. In fact, little did I know how much these pictures would mean shortly after the event.

When Photos Save the Day at Holdsworth House

Only three weeks later, I heard the bride was upset with her official wedding photos. They didn’t include any details of the decorations or the venue and some important family members. Hearing this broke my heart, especially knowing how much effort Jan had put into everything.

So, the next day, I posted some of the photos I took at Holdsworth House on social media. The bride and her mom reached out immediately. They loved the photos and bought the entire gallery. They even said they wished they had hired me as their photographer. It was a huge honour to know my work brought them so much joy.
