Elen + Joe's wedding was the only one I shot through the Covid Lockdowns. All my other bookings were ether pushed back to 2022 and 2023 or cancelled all together but these guys - nothing was going to stop them.


There were rules in place still meaning there were a maximum number of guests and the seating was spaced very specifically. But the ceremony was outside and I loooove an outdoor ceremony. This is one of the many reasons you would choose Carden Park if you're having a wedding in Chester - you can get married outside, and you've do that everywhere in the UK.


The day was to be cut short, as the regulations meant there could be no post wedding reception - so it was ceremony, portraits, food and speeches and then everyone home for an early night! I know they planned a big party for after the restrictions were lifted and managed to celebrate they way they wanted to - so it's all good baby!
