HOLMES MILL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Join me now for some spectacular Holmes Mill Wedding photography. I was full of excitement when I first got the email from these guys and they told me they were getting married at Holmes Mill. At this point, I had booked this industrial wedding venue for my own wedding day. I suppose you can say I was looking very much forward to Lisa & Danny’s big day so I could unleash my camera skills out on the venue.

Lisa & Danny rocked the hell out of their day and I was so glad to be there to capture all of their efforts and emotions throughout the day.

BRIDAL PREP AT THE SPINNING BLOCK

I started my day at the Spinning Block for the bridal prep, which is situated in the Holmes Mill complex. Here I got to meet Lisa’s make-up artist, Jessie, a very talented and easy-going gal. I had a very relaxed morning wondering to and fro between the girls, boys, ceremony room and the beer hall. Getting ready at the Spinning Block enabled me to capture key points throughout the morning as it’s only next door to the venue. I don’t usually get the chance to capture the guests arriving, but the beauty of Holmes Mill is that everything is right in one spot, so you can’t really miss a trick!

INDUSTRIAL CEREMONY

Holmes Mill has a fantastic ceremony room that is very industrial looking with exposed bricks, peeling paint and steel piping, in fact, most of the venue is like this, including the Engine Room downstairs. A ceremony room that is filled with light, which is perfect for getting all the great moments perfectly exposed. The room was decorated with hop vines leading down the aisle and the best signage I have seen at a wedding, it had a picture of me on it! Lisa & Danny had no show of nerves during the ceremony and took it all in with big grins on their faces. Due to the spacing around the room, I was able to move around a little, capturing guest reactions whilst still being unobtrusive, not disturbing the ceremony.

ENGINE ROOM CELEBRATIONS

Next up for their day was to hug it all out and celebrate with their guests down in the Engine Room. This is one cool room to hang out in with all your guests. It contains original features from when the building used to be a mill. It makes it such an alternative wedding venue and one of the best James Places wedding venues in Clitheroe. I like this part of the wedding day, everyone starts to chat and relax whilst having a pint or two and waiting their turn to say congrats to Lisa and Danny.

I nicked this pair during this time to run off for 15 minutes and get some couples shots, we made use of several locations for some Holmes Mill Wedding Photography, including the Bowland Food Hall. I got some absolute corkers of these dudes using various bits of fruit, which sounds weird, but looked ace!

PARTY AT THE MILL

After some brilliant speeches, including one from Lisa, the dance floor was now open and they brought some insane guests. Lisa & Danny further added to their ‘alternativeness’ of the day by doing a song slip-in to RUN-DMC, ‘It’s Tricky’ for the first dance. We had a tattoo station, with temporary tattoos designed by Danny himself along with cakes designed by Lisa’s Aunty (insane flavours!). I got some top shots of guest dancing and belly surfing. In all this was a splendid day for some Holmes Mill Wedding Photography and I was totally made up with a lot of the shots I got through the day. Oh one more thing, these guys got me a cool gift to say ‘thank you for capturing their day, designed by Danny, check it out at the end of the blog.
