Photography & Video. Chester, Cheshire

£500 - £1000
Hello! We are Sean and Victoria, a husband and wife team offering both photography and videography services across Cheshire, Shropshire, Herefordshire, North Wales and the North West of England.
With Sean’s previous experience in Press Photography and mine in Event Catering, we possess a range of creative traits that combine perfectly to enable us to expertly capture your wedding day.
As the chatty one, I engage with our couples, talking about what services we offer, answering questions and gathering all the details and timings of their day. Sean, on the other hand, uses his impeccable attention to detail to ensure that every photo and film is 100% perfect before we deliver them. Each wedding, just like every couple we meet, is unique, and this is what we love so much about our job – you never know what you will get from a wedding day, but we are always blown away by the emotions, the tears (happy ones!), and the laughter. Being able to spend so much time with a bride and groom on their special day makes us both feel so privileged.
Emily & Sam -Wrenbury Hall, Cheshire
We love everything about Wrenbury Hall, especially the staff! They always make us feel exceptionally welcome, and they can never do enough for us on a wedding day. Emily and Sam actually got married on the first day that weddings could go ahead post-lockdown, resulting in a small church ceremony with only 11 of their close family present, due to the restrictions at the time.
One-and-a-bit years later, they rebooked Wrenbury Hall for their wedding anniversary celebration, this time with over 100 of their family and friends packing out the beautiful venue for their long awaited Reception.
Unfortunately, although it was mid-August, the rain came barreling down for most of the day – but there is always a silver lining, and this one came in the form of a confetti tunnel sheltered by rows of brightly coloured umbrellas! Eventually, as the rain finally dried up, we all headed outside into the darkness for a stunning sparkler photo, one of our favourites ever!
Fiona & David – Owen House Barn, Cheshire
Originally, Fiona and David were not planning on having a photographer at their December wedding at Owen House Barn near Knutsford, as it was ‘second time round’ for them both. However, as guests at Emily & Sam’s wedding they fell in love with how we captured the atmosphere in such a natural and unobtrusive manner and decided to book us for their wedding after all. We are so glad they changed their minds, as this was by far one of our best weddings of 2021 – 3 live bands (including one with the groom), rooms full of beautiful colours and tables laden with tasteful decor led to a truly stunning day. With so much energy and excitement in the room, we ended up capturing one of the BEST first dances we have ever seen!
James & Victoria – The Ashes Barn, Staffordshire
James and Victoria chose to get married at one of our favourite venues, The Ashes Barn, located in the beautiful Staffordshire countryside. We have worked at Ashes many times before but we never get tired of returning, as it offers such a stunning backdrop for a wedding. With lovely old sandstone buildings surrounded by stunning gardens and lakes, the venue is just perfect for both couple photos and video footage, and the Ceremony and Reception Barns are always so beautifully dressed for the occasion. It also offers a Bridal Preparation area that is stylishly equipped with a separate salon, a relaxation room and a dressing room, and a Grooms Cottage that, although smaller, has amazing views across the lake and is filled with beautiful natural light.
The best thing about creating a beautiful wedding film at Ashes Barn is that it looks stunning in every season, and we always find something different to video. James and Victoria were so easy to work with thanks to their natural chemistry, easily walking, talking and laughing together without noticing us around. We can’t wait to go back to Ashes Barn again!

You know that old saying “new year, new me”? Well, ahead of the fast approaching 2025, we’ve decided to switch some things up around here and add a dash more sparkle into Bouquet and Bells.
This shoot was inspired wholly by the vastness and beauty of the venue as well as the unitarians inspiring ethos: Ullet Road Unitarian Church. We chose a beautiful day for the shoot, meaning the light flooding into the building and outside of the building was beautiful. We had a selection of dresses to change into for different parts of the church, and we utilised the late in different rooms and at different windows, as well as the doors for the iconic confetti shots.
Your wedding is a magical day which will stay with you forever. However, it’s unquestionable that with a tag like that, there’s also going to be an element of pressure you need to manage. 84% of brides report feeling some sort of stress about their big day. And while a lot of this comes hand-in-hand with planning a large event, it’s unquestionable that standing in front of anyone as the “star of the show” is going to get the nerves jangling.
