Roxanne and Nic’s epic wedding took place across St Joseph’s Catholic Church in Sale and Cottons Hotel and Spa in Knutsford — over 100 guests, five bridesmaids and eight ushers plus a best man. As a Cheshire wedding photographer working at Cottons Hotel and Spa, I love this venue’s flexibility and the friendly Knutsford team.

Roxanne and Nic’s wedding day at Cottons Hotel and Spa
Bridal prep in Cheadle Hulme
I started the day locally to me at Roxanne’s parents’ house in Cheadle Hulme — calm but excited atmosphere, makeup and hair in full flow. Plenty of detail and atmosphere shots before we moved off.
Catholic ceremony at St Joseph’s, Sale
Roxanne and Nic had also booked my second shooter Peter — invaluable at a wedding this size with the extended wedding party. The Catholic ceremony at St Joseph’s Church in Sale was full and the church looked beautiful.
Cottons Hotel and Spa reception
Over to Cottons in Knutsford for the reception. The Verandah Suite worked beautifully for the wedding breakfast and the evening reception — Roxanne and Nic’s 100+ guests fit comfortably with room for the dance floor to fill out.
Couple portraits, speeches and the evening
The Cottons grounds and the surrounding area (including Tatton Park) gave us plenty of options for couple and group portraits. Speeches were brilliant; the evening reception ran late.
Thank you Roxanne and Nic — congratulations to you both.
