Torr Vale Mill is steeped in history and wears its heritage with pride. Its minimalist interior allows couples to transform the space with their chosen decor. Meaning whatever your theme, Torr Vale Mill will be able to carry it off beautifully. Recommended Photographer Charlotte Palazzo and stylist, Helen, chose romantic florals, acrylic signs, and a geode cake to enhance the venue's natural beauty which gets a huge thumbs up from us. Adding elegance to the shoot, was the stunning bride and groom in black-tie attire and romantic gowns. Ready to be blown away...?
I was hugely inspired by the venue, Torr Vale Mill. It is such a raw incredible space steeped in industrial history. Its bare stone walls, towering chimney, huge windows and layers upon layers of flaking paint all tell a story of its magnificent past.

Creatively I wanted to show that not everything beautiful must be perfect. Torr Vale Mill is a very unique space and I wanted to show it at its full potential. The venue paved the way effortlessly for some powerful and wonderful show-stopping photos.
We had a dreamy daytime look with a fabulous Maggie Sottero wedding dress from SAS Bridal. This really complemented the romance of the shoot and worked perfectly with the real butterflies and fine art florals.
The second look had a more edgy vibe. I wanted it to feel strong and powerful yet elegant. We had a stunning gown from Georgia Bridal with statement sleeves. We also chose a bolder lip colour to create a really striking look. The aim was to create a juxtaposition between high-end elegance and the industrial rawness of the venue.
