The Oakfield, Chester Zoo Wedding Photographer

The Oakfield is a beautifully restored Georgian manor set within Chester Zoo — characterful, green and full of unexpected charm.

All venues

A wedding at The Oakfield is wonderfully unique. The manor's period rooms and gardens make for elegant, relaxed photography, with the leafy surroundings of the zoo giving a lush, natural backdrop unlike anywhere else in Chester.

I photograph the day quietly and warmly, capturing honest moments and only borrowing you for a few golden-hour portraits in the gardens. It's minutes from my Farndon base, so I'm always early and know how the light falls across The Oakfield through the day.
