Castle surroundings
Peckforton Castle
For couples drawn to stone walls and a dramatic backdrop, the opening photograph shows how a simple walk together can make the most of the setting. When planning portraits, ask which outdoor areas will be available and where you could go if it rains.

Colshaw Hall
Start with the real wedding story to see the ceremony and celebrations at this Knutsford venue. When you visit, think about the people as well as the setting: where will everyone gather after the ceremony, and where could family photographs fit into the day?

Old Palace Chester
Amanda and John’s wedding shows the variety offered by the bridal suite, steps and grounds. Use their story to picture the flow of a Chester celebration, then ask the venue about your own confetti arrangements and timings. Visit Old Palace Chester’s official website for venue information.

Cheshire Woodland Weddings
If you’re imagining a celebration among the trees, explore Holly and Laura’s wedding for inspiration. For an outdoor setting, discuss wet-weather arrangements with the venue and think about footwear for walking between the ceremony, celebrations and portraits.

Inglewood Manor
The photographs here bring together window-lit bridal portraits, confetti and a walk across the lawn. If that mix appeals to you, leave a little space in your schedule for photographs indoors and outside. Ask which preparation room and outdoor areas will be available on your date.

Light, atmosphere and time together
Picture your day.
Indoors and out.
When you visit a venue, look beyond its main ceremony space. Windows, sheltered corners and outdoor paths can all offer different possibilities for your photographs.
Natural moments. Creative portraits.
A little time for the two of you
Allow a little breathing room in your timings for portraits. A woodland path, window light or an evening stroll can give us variety without a long break from your guests.
Then back to the celebrations
Ask your venue where guests will gather between the ceremony and meal, and where the evening celebrations happen. These spaces are part of your wedding story, too.

Think about the whole celebration
From preparations
to the party.
When comparing venues, picture the evening as well as the ceremony. Ask about the dance floor, lighting and where your guests will spend their time. The Rowton Hall photograph here is a reminder that the party belongs in your story, too.
Once you have a date and venue in mind, explore the photography coverage that fits your plans.

and photographs.
Something else on your mind?
Ask Andy ↗
What should we look for when visiting a Cheshire wedding venue?
Think about the flow of the whole day: preparation rooms, ceremony space, where guests gather and the evening celebrations. Ask to see indoor options for wet weather, and discuss where portraits and family photographs could happen. Check current arrangements directly with the venue.
How much time should we allow for wedding photographs?
It depends on your ceremony time, the season and the family photographs you want. Share your plans with me so we can allow time for the pictures that matter to you while keeping plenty of time with your guests.

You’ll also see Cheshire Woodland Weddings, Grosvenor Pulford, Tabley House, The Chester Fields and Rowton Hall. If your venue isn’t listed, get in touch and tell me where you’re celebrating.
We’re camera shy. Will we have to pose all day?
No. My approach is relaxed, with natural coverage and some direction for portraits and family photographs. That way, you can have photographs together and still enjoy time with your guests.
