Danielle & John’s Elegant Colshaw Hall Wedding
Documentary wedding photographer Wes Simpson tells the story of Danielle & John’s wedding at Colshaw Hall.
I was booked to photograph Danielle and John’s Cheshire wedding via recommendation. The couple wanted natural-style documentary wedding photography and that is exactly my speciality.
Their beautiful summer wedding took place at Colshaw Hall, a luxurious and exclusive wedding venue in Peover, Cheshire. The Irlam family has lovingly restored this Grade II listed hall, which is located on a private country estate.
When you arrive at Colshaw Hall, the first thing you notice is the beautiful grounds. The architecture comes next as you drive up a long, sweeping driveway. Before meeting the lovely people who await you at the exclusive Cheshire wedding venue.
Danielle and John’s wedding at Colshaw Hall was a pleasure to photograph. The grounds are stunning, and the ceremony room is light and airy! Perfect for capturing natural wedding photos.
The couple was a lot of fun and laid-back. Family and guests welcomed me and put me at ease. It was an honour to document their special day.
I am delighted to share with you, Danielle and John’s Colshaw Hall wedding photography story…
Danielle & John’s Colshaw Hall Wedding story
Hi, we are Danielle and Jonathan Williams from Liverpool and this is our Colshow Hall wedding photography story.
We already sort of knew each when we first met, but it was on the local bus when we first spoke and I knew instantly that she was for me. I’m proud that say that we have been together 29 years this year.
We have been engaged for quite some time, it was the day before Danielle’s 21st birthday, we went for a meal and I proposed.
Colshaw Hall wedding venue in Cheshire
We had planned to marry in Spain two years before. The wedding was originally scheduled for June, but due to covid and travel restrictions, we decided to move it to England.
We went to see Colshow Hall in Cheshire and fell in love with it right away. It’s absolutely stunning, and everyone at Colshaw Hall was wonderful, so we booked the venue and decided to keep to a summer wedding in June.
Wedding theme
In regards to a wedding theme at Colshaw Hall, Danielle wanted the colours to be ivory green and black and for it to be an elegant, fun and laid-back wedding day.
Our Colshaw Hall wedding was made special by having our two beautiful daughters Paige and Madison as bride’s maids and Perry our beautiful son as the ring carrier (and second-best man.)
My mate Jock was my best man and my brother James was an usher. To complete the bridal party, we had both dads David and John and Johnny’s mum Jackie. In total, we had 100 guests in the day and approx. 70 in the night.
Wedding Outfits, hair and makeup
The men wore dinner suits from Attire men’s wear in Wallasey. Danielle looked stunning in her beautiful wedding dress which was a Martina liana wedding gown from Natalie Anne Brides in Liverpool.
Bridesmaid dresses cinders prom and party dresses Liverpool. Perry, our little boy’s suit was from Rocco clothing. Danielle, Paige and Madison’s hair were done by Christina Garrity hair stylist, and Makeup was done by Amber Perry Makeup Artist.
The hair and makeup team that worked on Danielle, Paige, and Madison were amazing, and Danielle was thrilled with how they completed their flawless looks.
Standout Moments
It was a very beautiful moment when Danielle’s father walked her down the aisle while Ave Maria was being sung in memory of Danielle’s mother Maria.
Our three beautiful children were a huge part of the occasion, and finally being married to each other is fantastic.
We both agree that our favourite part of our Colshaw Hall wedding day was Danielle’s dad walking her down the aisle, our 3 beautiful children walking down the aisle, Danielle punching the air and finally marring each other.
We had the most amazing Colshaw Hall wedding day with our family and friends. Highlights include Johnny singing and Danielle dancing to Tina Turner Proud Mary and of course, we loved our first dance together.

Why did you choose Wes Simpson weddings for your Colshaw Hall wedding photography?
Wes came highly recommended. My cousin knew somebody who had used him and recommended him due to his natural style of wedding photography.
We looked on his website and loved his work. We knew his style would be a perfect fit for our personalities and our Colshaw Hall wedding photography.
Wes was absolutely amazing all day. We spoke on a couple of occasions before the wedding and he provided insight, ideas and useful suggestions from his years of experience.
On the day he was more like a guest than an official wedding photographer. He caught some magical moments and captured the main ones that we wanted.
We love our Colshaw Hall wedding photography. Nothing was staged or over-posed. We would 100% recommend Wes Simpson to anyone on their wedding day, his work is amazing.
