The Old Palace Wedding Photographer

The Old Palace is a beautifully restored Grade II* riverside venue in the heart of Chester — elegant, historic and wonderfully central.

All venues

A wedding at The Old Palace pairs period elegance with a brilliant city-centre location beside the River Dee. The refined interiors photograph beautifully, and Chester's historic streets and riverside are moments away for relaxed portraits.

As a Chester photographer for over twenty years, I know the city intimately — the quiet corners, the best light and the loveliest backdrops just outside the door. I document your day naturally and borrow you only briefly for portraits.
