Dorcas and Anton’s wedding day at St. Christopher’s Church in Pott Shrigley, followed by their reception at Shrigley Hall, was nothing short of amazing. The day was filled with fun, laughter, and a fantastic atmosphere that resonated throughout the celebration. As a recommended wedding photographer by the team at Shrigley Hall, I was excited to capture the many natural, emotional moments of their big day after having conducted their pre-wedding shoot.
The couple was fortunate to have beautiful weather for their wedding at Shrigley Hall, and it was a pleasure to work with Eamon, a brilliant member of the Shrigley Hall staff.
My day began with bridal preparations at Shrigley Hall, where I encountered the usual nervous excitement and a group of lovely bridesmaids. The day’s theme featured a vibrant red, and Shrigley Hall’s spacious room with a balcony was perfect for accommodating Dorcas, her five bridesmaids, the hairdresser, makeup artist, and two mothers.
Shrigley Hall boasts stunning views and an impressive staircase, making it an ideal location for stunning indoor photos. Located in Cheshire, not far from Macclesfield, this venue provided the perfect backdrop for Dorcas and Anton’s special day.
After capturing the bridal preparations, I headed to St. Christopher’s Church in Pott Shrigley to meet Anton and his groomsmen. This quaint, photogenic church is situated in a quiet, small village in Cheshire, just a two-minute drive from Shrigley Hall. The lovely ceremony was followed by a lively confetti toss, with guests showering the newlyweds in colourful bits of paper.
A special mention goes to Horgans Cars, a fantastic car company that provided excellent service and brilliant drivers for the wedding day. Their website can be found at https://www.horganscars.co.uk/.
Upon arriving at Shrigley Hall, we took advantage of the spectacular views for fun, natural images of the couple and their guests. The wedding breakfast was held in the Tilden Suite, where the speeches brought both laughter and tears. Dorcas, the bride, even gave a heartfelt speech of her own.
The celebration continued with lively dancing and a packed dance floor in the Tilden Suite at Shrigley Hall. Just when I thought the day couldn’t get any better, I noticed an incredible sunset outside. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to capture this stunning scene, with views stretching as far as Fiddler’s Ferry in Runcorn.
After a few more memorable shots, it was time for me to leave Dorcas and Anton to dance and party the night away with their guests at Shrigley Hall. It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of their wonderful wedding day.
Thank you, Dorcas and Anton, for allowing me to capture the love and joy of your enchanting wedding at Shrigley Hall. Your special day was truly unforgettable, and I wish you a lifetime of happiness together.
