A Joy-Filled, Romantic Wedding at Holmes Mill | Lydia & Alex
There are weddings that leave you smiling for days—and Lydia and Alex’s wedding at Holmes Mill in Clitheroe was exactly that. Romantic, personal, and full of the kind of laughter that makes your cheeks hurt, this was the kind of day that reminds me why I love being a wedding photographer.
As a Holmes Mill wedding photographer, I’ve seen how this venue blends character, charm, and industrial elegance—but this day felt extra special. Every detail, from the décor to the music, had been chosen with love to reflect Lydia and Alex’s unique style and story.
A Wedding Full of Laughter & Love ❤️
From the moment I arrived, it was clear: this wedding was going to be a joy to capture. The energy was infectious. Lydia and Alex are the kind of couple who laugh easily, love deeply, and are surrounded by friends who are just as vibrant and fun-loving as they are.
The ceremony was emotional and heartfelt, with just the right mix of happy tears and laughter.
Holmes Mill: The Perfect Wedding Backdrop
Holmes Mill in Clitheroe is one of my favourite venues to photograph. The mix of exposed brick, tall windows, and soft ambient light creates a beautiful canvas for storytelling. Whether you're going for rustic-industrial or modern-romantic, Holmes Mill offers the kind of aesthetic versatility that's a dream for any Manchester wedding photographer.
What made it even more special was the incredible staff. From start to finish, the team at Holmes Mill were attentive, kind, and always one step ahead. They guided the day with such grace—nothing was too much trouble, and their support made a huge difference, not just for the couple, but for everyone involved (photographers included!).
The Details That Made It So Them
It’s the personal touches that bring a wedding to life—and Lydia and Alex nailed it. From custom signage and carefully curated table settings to a first dance that turned into a full-on party, every moment felt true to them.
Even their choice of colors, flowers, and lighting reflected their style—laid-back elegance with a dash of sparkle. Their friends brought the energy, their families brought the love, and together it created a day that felt like one big celebration of who they are.
This wedding wasn’t just beautiful—it was joyful. And that’s why I love being a wedding photographer. It’s about more than capturing posed shots or pretty things (though there were plenty of those!). It’s about freezing those candid laughs, sneaky kisses, and wild dance floor moves so they can be relived for years to come.
Lydia and Alex, thank you for trusting me to capture your day—it was unforgettable.
