I was lucky enough to be Mel and Ben’s wedding photographer a couple of weeks back. They choose Combermere Abbey, on the Shropshire and Cheshire borders, as their venue and it was absolutely stunning. The venue has a series of cottages, so the wedding party can stay right at the venue, which is brilliant. And there are quite a few really nice hotels in the towns surrounding, so it is great location-wise. Mel and Ben booked the Gold Wedding photography package with me, so I was with them all day. We started early with the bridal preparations, in the fantastic Lodge Cottage.

We were blessed with the weather – although it was forecast rain all day, it held out until the evening. So the four piece orchestra was able to set up outside, to greet the guests and the wedding party as they approached the Glasshouse, where the ceremony took place. Also the lack of wet weather meant we could fully utilise the wonderful gardens and grounds around the venue, for some wonderful backdrops to the photography.

Mel and Ben had a great, fun packed day and it was easy to work with them, so friendly and relaxed. It was an absolute pleasure to be with them on their special day and definately the highlight of my season so far! So if you are getting married at the fantastic Combermere Abbey, please get in touch, I’m happy to discount my prices for you for this particular venue.
