Serving Chester

Beautiful wedding photography in Chester

Chester is a historic walled city with grand venues. We know the venues of the North of England well, and move easily between the ceremony and reception across Ellesmere Port, Hoole and Saltney. We cover the whole of the North of England, and Chester and the towns around it are well known to us.

We work discreetly during the church service, mindful that some churches restrict where a photographer may stand. We let the ceremony and the wedding breakfast unfold at their own pace and meet them with a quiet, watchful eye. We take the time beforehand to understand the order of your church or civil ceremony and the plans for the reception.

We are often in Chester for weddings, and from London the area, taking in Ellesmere Port, Hoole and Saltney, is an easy journey. Chester is a historic walled city with grand venues, and we also photograph in nearby Warrington and Liverpool. In and around Chester, we have photographed at venues such as Peckforton Castle, Crabwall Manor and The Old Palace.

Chester is a historic Roman walled city on the River Dee, known for its distinctive medieval Rows galleries. Chester railway station is a junction with services to Liverpool, Manchester and North Wales, with the A55 and M53 close by. For pre-wedding and couple portraits, we love spots such as Grosvenor Park, a Victorian park close to the city centre and the River Dee, with The Eastgate Clock above the city walls close by for a striking backdrop.

Every tradition

Every part of the day, beautifully told

At the heart of the day are the vows, and we capture them close but never intrude on the moment. From the processional to the confetti, the ceremony tells its own story, and we follow it closely. We capture the couple's first steps as husband and wife, or as newlyweds, straight after the vows.

We photograph the bridal preparations with a gentle, unobtrusive eye. The wedding breakfast is the seated meal, and we photograph the room, the toasts and the details. The speeches bring laughter and tears, from the father of the bride to the best man, and we capture them all.
