Colshaw Hall is a luxury Cheshire wedding venue, and one of the best places to take spectacular wedding photographs. It would be difficult to find a more experienced and professional wedding venue in Cheshire. The fantastic team at Colshaw have been creating dream weddings for their clients for years. Without a doubt this is one of our favourite venues, there are so many opportunities to capture beautiful wedding photos. The gardens at Colshaw Hall are particularly photogenic during the autumn months when the leaves create stunning colours.

The Grade II Listed Hall

The Hall itself is a Grade II listed manor house, in the style of the Tudors. Having been a family run establishment for generations, there is a really homely feel despite the magnitude of the place. This is a testament to the hard work put in by the Irlam’s over the years to make this one of Cheshire’s number one wedding venues. Another fantastic venue from this family is Merrydale Manor.

The years of experience from the Irlam family really show at Colshaw Hall. They know how to put on a party! So much so that they have recently launched a brand new sister venue; Merrydale Manor. See our Merrydale Manor wedding photography if you’re engaged and undecided between these two stunning venues! The wedding ceremony space has been modelled on Colshaw Hall’s oak beamed barn. It’s perfect for decorating with your own unique wedding style.

Using the same skills and dedication that made Colshaw Hall such an iconic wedding venue, the Irlam family are set to have another award winner on their hands. To get married here you’ll need to book early though as demand is through the roof. 

Indoor or outdoor ceremony

There are a couple of options when it comes to the wedding ceremony. Couples can choose from tying the knot in the stables or outside in the stunning grounds. The option for an outdoor ceremony is music to any wedding photographers ears. It would also make your Colshaw Hall wedding photography extra special. It’s good to have another option though, in case of rain. The indoor ceremony space lets in plenty of natural light. Often churches can be very dark, which compromises the quality of wedding photos. Wedding photography at Colshaw Hall really benefits from this bright and airy space.

 Bridal preparation photos

Another feature of this spectacular venue is the courtyard cottages. This is where brides often choose to have their preparation. It is picturesque and close to the venue for the ceremony.

Our advice is not to overlook your bridal preparation photos. Make sure to book your photographer for this part of your day. Many a beautiful moment is had when the bride is getting ready. Shane’s wedding photography prices include full day coverage as standard. From preparation to partying, every moment is covered.
