Why I Love Photographing Weddings in Cheshire
If you’ve landed here, there’s a good chance you’re planning your wedding in Cheshire – and honestly, you’ve picked such a great location for your big day. I’ve photographed weddings all over the UK (and abroad), but there’s just something about Cheshire that always pulls me back in. It’s beautiful, it’s full of character, and the people? Salt of the earth. Whether you’re looking for an editorial wedding photographer in the area or someone who shoots pure documentary, you’ll find some inspiration here.
So here’s a little insight into why I absolutely love photographing weddings in Cheshire – and why it might just be the perfect place for your day.
The Venues are Next Level
From grand manor houses to tucked-away barns, Cheshire is full of stunning venues that each have their own vibe. Whether it’s the fairytale setting of Peckforton Castle, the elegance of Colshaw Hall, or the relaxed charm of Nunsmere Hall, these spaces are a dream to work in.
Each one offers something different – gorgeous light, lush gardens, epic staircases, or even woodland trails. As a photographer, it means I’m constantly inspired and never short of creative spots to work with.
The Countryside is Just… Wow
You can’t talk about Cheshire without mentioning the countryside. Rolling green fields, winding country lanes, and those golden hour sunsets that seem to last forever.
It’s the perfect mix of wild and romantic. Whether I’m sneaking out with a couple for five minutes of portraits or capturing a quiet moment after the chaos of the confetti, Cheshire always delivers. I love this photo from a Scarlet Hall Wedding that I took in the summer.
Down-to-Earth Couples
I’ve been lucky enough to work with couples from all over the world, but there’s something extra special about Cheshire weddings. As I live so close to here, I feel I have. stronger connection to the people. The vibe is always warm, relaxed, and full of genuine moments – and that’s what I live for. Making as much candid wedding photography as possible, making sure you can feel what the people and atmosphere was like on your wedding day.
I’m all about the real stuff – the laughs, the happy tears, the hugs that go on longer than usual. Couples who get married here, just get it. They know how to throw a good party while keeping things heartfelt and down-to-earth.
No Two Weddings Are the Same
One weekend I’ll be photographing a candlelit barn wedding in the pouring rain, and the next I’m chasing light through a wildflower meadow. That variety keeps things exciting and lets me approach every wedding with fresh eyes.
There’s something about the mix of heritage, landscape, and personal style here that means no two weddings ever feel the same – and I love that.
📸 I Know the Area Like the Back of My Camera
Having shot so many weddings across Cheshire over the years, I know where the best light hits, where to sneak off for portraits, and how to keep things stress-free no matter what the weather’s doing.
Whether you’re planning a laid-back countryside celebration at Scarlet Hall or a luxury castle wedding at Peckforton Castle, I’ll blend right in and help you make the most of every little moment.
