Charlotte and Morgan’s Halloween wedding at Norton Priory Museum in Runcorn was one of the most photogenic, creative weddings I’ve had the pleasure to photograph. The black-with-orange Halloween theme worked beautifully against the medieval architecture — and Charlotte and Morgan were brilliant to work with. As your Cheshire and North West wedding photographer, I love a venue that lets me get this creative.

Charlotte and Morgan’s wedding day at Norton Priory Museum
A Halloween black-and-orange theme that worked beautifully
Charlotte and Morgan went all-in on a Halloween wedding day — black with orange accents through the bridesmaids, florals, ties and details. Against the medieval Norton Priory backdrop the photography looked unlike anything else in my Cheshire gallery.
Ceremony in the atmospheric Undercroft
The Grade I listed Medieval Undercroft is one of the most atmospheric ceremony spaces in the country — 900 years of history and the sense of place make every image feel weighted.
Walled gardens, woodland and archaeological remains
After the ceremony we worked the grounds — the walled gardens, the excavated medieval remains, the woodland — picking up textures and backdrops you don’t get at any other Cheshire wedding venue.
Wedding breakfast, speeches and the evening
The wedding breakfast and speeches were warm and the evening reception turned into a brilliant celebration.
Thank you Charlotte and Morgan — congratulations to you both, and thank you for letting me be properly creative on your wedding day.
