A Luxury Barn wedding | Cheshire

A Larkspur Lodge Wedding

The Lodge is a beautifully converted 18th-century red brick barn, complete with original features and located within easy reach of Knutsford. Michelle and Alan enjoyed a perfect blue sky day. I was there early to capture some gorgeous morning light and views across the Cheshire countryside, the wildflowers meadows, and the glorious summer sunshine.

Wedding videos that tell your story

Having had to delay their wedding, it was evident how important this day was to Alan and Michelle. I was able to video the joy, love, and sense of genuine celebration at Larkspur Lodge. I shoot in a way that, I believe, allows me to preserve those unique moments in life. If you watch the film, I think you’ll see that.

Real wedding moments

The venue has a unique and atmospheric ceremony room that creates a real sense of the occasion. Michelle and Alan had included a beautiful hand tying ceremony as part of their marriage to represent the joining of their two families. I don’t want to go on about the pandemic, but this wedding was nearly stopped by it (again)! The day was a testament to Alan and Michelle and their determination to get married and have a fantastic day which they certainly did. The team at Larkspur helped to create such a special occasion. I got to enjoy the company of some top-notch wedding suppliers - Birdie Photo Booth and Lee Brown on photo duty.

Kind Words

We have just watched our wedding video and WOW! Bruce captured every moment and emotion of the day and we couldn’t be happier. There was not a moment missed it is perfect. We will be sure to recommend Bruce to everyone we know and we are going to cherish it forever.

Festival Wedding | Delamere Events

A Cheshire festival Wedding

Delamere Events is the perfect setting for a festival style wedding, set amongst the rolling fields of Orchard farm with a beautifully landscaped lake and grounds. The versatile space allows a range of reception venues from Tipi’s to a more traditional marquee.

A tipi Wedding

As you approach the event space at Delamere your first thought is where is the venue? As you walk across the carpark there it is, laid out before you. A gentle track leads you down to a huge flat grassed area with a lake bordered by wildflowers and coppiced woods. For Sophie and Brad’s wedding, several large and impressive tipi’s had been arranged together to make a fantastic wedding venue complete with an ice cream van, pizza oven and bar.

A Delamere Events wedding

The space at Delamere really does allow couples to create the wedding they want. The outdoor area is large and there are flexible options in a range of styles to suit any wedding party. Each package is tailored to the couple and their requirements. As with Sophie and Brad you can’t yet legally marry outdoors but there are several beautiful areas around the venue for a blessing ceremony. The venue is also great for videography with the lake, rolling fields of grass and the space itself makes for a stunning backdrop

Colshaw Hall | Wedding Videography

A Colshaw Hall Wedding

Colshaw Hall is a beautiful red brick country home nestled within 300 acres of gentle Cheshire countryside in Peover Superior. It’s the perfect location for a Luxury wedding with exclusive use for guests. I was thrilled when Amanda and Phil asked me to create a wedding video for them and only slightly nervous as Amanda is a hot shot creative media type! 

A Spring wedding at Colshaw Hall

Spring was in the air for their wedding day, with the blossom just out and the daffodils creating a golden fringe along the banks of the boating lake. It was a special moment following the bridal party out of the house and down the drive to the Ceremony Hall as a rainbow of colours were reflected in the water.

Natural, wedding videography - telling your story

Amanda and Phil, such an awesome couple, jetting in from Dubai for their fun filled, Cheshire wedding. Colshaw Hall provided a luxury setting for their sumptuous spring nuptials! As the newlyweds left for the main building they were showered with confetti. The wedding party continued to the Peel suite which is a beautiful room, surrounded by a walled garden. Some totes emosh speeches were made the cake was cut and there was even a bit of mild baby throwing! All safe I promise. Big thanks to Cass Lane and Imogen Harris. Please press play on the trailer edit below of Amanda and Phil’s wedding video.

A Cheshire Wedding

Colshaw Hall provides an excellent backdrop for your wedding videography, acres of grounds, manicured lawns and gardens that drip colour and texture, even in early Spring the flowers were beginning to peek out adding splashes of pink and yellow.  It’s perfectly situated close to Manchester and within easy reach of the motorway. The Hall has been restored to it’s original glory and includes a unique space for your wedding ceremony and reception complete with an in house team to help create your perfect wedding day. I’ll be back shooting video again soon at Colshaw Hall for what is sure to be another amazing wedding, the next event features and Iranian Sword Dance, can’t wait!

Here’s a response from the very Happy couple:

“You truly made our weekend by sending this through - we were in the lakes with limited internet so when we got it, we were so overwhelmed, it’s amazing and we really love it!! Thank you so much. Lots of love,
”

Say Hello

Please do contact me to chat through your wedding at colshaw, I’d love to create a wedding video for you. Here’s a fun Instagram film I created for Amanda and Phil. 

Cheshire Wedding | The Holford Estate

A Holford Estate Wedding Venue

The Holford Estate is described as a hidden gem and that's a great metaphor. On a beautiful mid summers day I got to shoot Amy and Mark’s wedding video and to explore the newly refurbished Holford Barn, advertised as;

an event venue we are a harmonious mixture of traditional and modern, blending ancient architecture with contemporary additions, providing an advanced level of technology and knowledge.

A Classic, Cheshire Summer Wedding

You approach the venue along a tree lined avenue and are surrounded by acres of Cheshire countryside, woodland and pasture.  Once within the grounds, beautiful knot gardens have been lovingly recreated to harmonise with the original house that dates back to the 12th century.  I was very excited to be shooting video at the venue in the summer and the gardens, barn and estate make an impressive backdrop to the wedding celebrations.

Documentary, wedding videography with an emphasis on story

It was so much fun creating a film for Amy and Mark and their wedding was a joy to shoot alongside Dave of Golding Photography and Rachel Taylor. Here is what Amy though of the wedding video I produced:

The Holford Estate, Cheshire Wedding

Travelling to the Holford Estate

“The feature video is AMAZING! I actually cried! You’ve captured the day perfectly! 😊 The drone shots are incredible of the grounds at Holford and the way you have edited the sound and some speech into it all just makes me smile!
”

I've done some research and if you're a guest you might be lucky enough to stay at the 16th Water Mill also part of the estate. If you're looking for accommodation local to the venue, Northwich is a short drive to the South West along the A556 where you can find a Travelodge and just North of Holford is Pickmere Country House. The venue is close to both Lostock Gralam Station and Plumley East, and the M6 and M56 are nearby giving easy access to Manchester airport. If you have some time whilst in the area, Marbury Park and Budworth Mere are 15 mins away by car and Chester is about 30mins.

London Wedding | Royal Botanic Gardens | Kew

A Royal London Wedding

The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, London, England and a green and pleasant corner of our Great urban metropolis. Zi and Chengze are a super talented couple originally from Beijing but now living and working in London.

I felt incredibly honoured when asked to video their wedding and only slightly daunted, knowing Zi is very successful creative, working in design. I asked them what they wanted from a wedding film “a memory, a piece of visual art”.

Kew Gardens wow! Such a spectacular venue and glorious at mid summer just a profusion of scent and colour. I was lucky enough to get access the day before, via the very grand Elizabeth Gate to wander through the gardens, they’re big I was wandering for about 3 hours, lost amongst some of the most beautiful planting schemes and parkland.

The ceremony was in the Nash Conservatory Originally and is described as originally, “designed for Buckingham Palace“ it’s a grade II listed building and was formerly the No.1 plant house. The room is flooded with light and you feel surrounded by the greenery of the garden. After a tour on the Kew explorer the wedding guests retired to The Orangery, originally designed for growing citrus fruit and by night the venue for the wedding breakfast.

After speeches the couple got down to some serious dancing busting classic moves straight out of Pulp Fiction to Chuck Berry’s, c'est la vie and excellent first dance song! Please check out the Highlight video.
