PECKFORTON CASTLE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Great to be back at Peckforton Castle for the beautiful fairytale wedding of Stephanie and Matthew. Like a Walt Disney Classic this love story has every emotion beautifully captured and the only villain of the story was the bitter cold weather, yet it hindered no one and the day and wedding photographs tell the tale.

What can I say about one of my favourite Cheshire wedding venues that you have not heard before? I simply love this venue for it's endless photographic treasures. I could photograph weddings here every week and never run out of new places and ideas to create stunning creative images. Each wedding is individual in character and style so I shoot accordingly, always trying something new and visually exciting. The weather was an unusual mix too, of sun, rain, strong winds and hail stone which we managed to work around with relative ease to produce a collection of stunning wedding photographs. The Castle has many beautiful areas both inside and out that capture the light of the day in different ways and the scope for amazing images for your wedding album is literally endless. The bright areas are great for all round vivid imagery and the darker areas are just as important if not more so. With just a touch of subtle added creative lighting I can conjure up a wedding portrait of atmospheric beauty and charm not too dissimilar to that of a Pre-Raphaelite painting.

Thank you Stephanie & Matthew for braving the cold weather and for being such fun on the day!
