A little bit about me...

The life of a Chester wedding photographer

Since becoming a full time photographer in 2014, I have captured hundreds of weddings in many different locations and settings, covering a wide range of styles.

I absolutely love being a Chester wedding photographer and I am so grateful to all of my previous couples for letting me be a part of their day.

"I strongly believe that everybody should get the same high quality service regardless of budget"

When I'm not capturing wedding photos (or editing them!), I enjoy spending time with my little family and going on an adventure, taking photos of landscapes around North Wales, especially in Snowdonia national park.

I also love travelling, movies, gaming and a good box set on Netflix!

Wedding Photography Blog

Have a look through my blog and read about some previous celebrations that I have captured. Or alternatively, head on over to my Instagram page, where I post regular updates.

I have had the pleasure of capturing hundreds of amazing marriages across the UK, including Snowdonia, Cheshire, Wirral and Flintshire to name a few. I have even had the honour of documenting Elopements across Europe. So whether it's a small family occasion in a marquee or a massive celebration in a stately home like Soughton Hall, I will be there to capture all the special parts of the day.

I have specialised in wedding photography for over 10 years now and regularly photograph at venues in Cheshire, so chances are that I have worked at your wedding venue in the past!

Wedding Venues in Chester I Love Photographing

Chester and the surrounding Cheshire countryside are home to some truly stunning wedding venues, each offering something unique for couples planning their day.

I’ve been lucky enough to photograph weddings at many beautiful locations in and around the city. From grand historic venues to elegant country houses, Chester provides incredible backdrops for relaxed, natural wedding photography.

Some of my favourite Chester wedding venues include Peckforton Castle, a spectacular castle venue set in the Cheshire countryside, Old Palace Chester with its beautiful riverside gardens and views of the River Dee, and Rowton Hall Hotel & Spa, which offers elegant grounds and a lovely country house atmosphere.

Other popular venues nearby include Soughton Hall, known for its impressive Georgian architecture, and Chester Town Hall, a historic building right in the heart of the city. Each venue has its own character and fantastic opportunities for natural, documentary-style wedding photos throughout the day.

If you're planning your wedding at one of these venues or anywhere in the Chester area, I’d love to capture your day in a relaxed and unobtrusive way.

Beautiful Locations for Wedding Photos in Chester

Chester is a fantastic city for wedding photography, with plenty of historic and scenic locations that make perfect backdrops for natural couple portraits.

The famous Chester city walls offer beautiful views across the city and provide a unique historic setting for relaxed wedding photographs. The nearby River Dee is another lovely spot, especially around the suspension bridge and riverside paths where the light can be stunning in the evening.

For couples getting married in the city centre, the Chester Rows and the charming black-and-white Tudor buildings create a timeless atmosphere that feels very special in wedding photos.

Many Chester wedding venues also have beautiful gardens and grounds, which means couples don’t need to travel far to find great photo locations. I always work with the flow of the day to capture relaxed portraits without taking you away from your guests for too long.
