The pictures of the Rhinos from Rhino Mania in Big Storage’s facilities is a god example of what we can do for you!

Andrew Donaldson of Big Storage said of the image: “I’ve worked in the self storage for 10 years and in that time I’ve never seen an interesting or exciting photo of a self-storage corridor until Ioan changed all that this year with a photo that has made all of my competitors extremely jealous!”

Next time you need photography for your business, chose Celynnen Photography for pictures with impact!

The boys went for the whisky as the rain was falling, threatening to take the celebration originally scheduled in the outdoor gazebo to one of the rooms inside the Double Tree Hilton. Susie obviously had other plans in mind and her determination to have her wedding outdoors paid off as the rain cleared the moment she stepped out. (Yes, the clouds actually parted for her, think about that for a visual!)

Anyways, enough of my crazy poetic license..you’re here to see pictures, not to read the ramblings of a crazy Quebecer!

By the way, the Chester Doubletree Hilton is a fantastic place for a wedding…or a romantic meal thanks to the Famous  Marco Pierre White Steakhouse and Grill. This also meant that Doug, my equally famous assistant and myself had a FANTASTIC meal!

Anyways! It is with great pleasure that I present you Mr and Mrs Lydiate!

One of those little moments..

Their first dance...before they started showing off their REAL moves!

For the time of an hour or two, you are trusted to capture the very special relationship that unites a family, capturing them in the most natural way, as they are.

Recently, this privilege was given to me by Chester Chronicle‘s own Allie Dickinson who won a free shoot by participating in a contest in our newsletter. From the very start I could see this was a very special family held together by a very close bond. It was beautiful to see and I will remember this shoot fondly. Hope you like the pictures too.

Smile!

The boys.

A beautiful family!

We also do family portraits!!
And not only do we do them, but we love taking pictures of your families! Young people, older people, with our portable studio setup or a bit of fun in the outdoors…wether you are looking for “Venture-style” portraits and canvases or lifestyle portraits in Cheshire, Wrexham and all the North West call Celynnen Photography: The obvious choice for your family portraits!
PS: I don’t talk like this in REAL life by the way… I just thought the tagline was amusing!

You just know these two will be up to something..

They come in 4!

From your pre-wedding shoot in the Lake District to your wedding celebration at Plas Hafod, it was an honour to be there and to be able to capture to emotion, love and passion that so strongly unite you two.

Hope your feelings for each other never change.

Lots of love from all the Celynnen Photography crew!

A beautiful bride-to-be, on her way to her wedding

Words are sometimes unnecessary. A smile will do.

Craig, looking rather swish here..

6 days after their pre-wedding shoot , It was time for  Steve and Jo to get married. They chose Rowton Hall, one of the nicest venues in Chester, featuring beautiful grounds, beautiful architecture  and really friendly staff, just outside Chester’s town center!

It was a gorgeous day to unite 2 beautiful families. Steve, an ex-Royal Marine had just recently come back from Irak and only had a few weeks off again, so they made sure that everyone enjoyed themselves and that they we took a good record of this very special day.

Thank you for inviting us to this very special occasion and keep safe, Steve!

A passionate kiss.

A bit of time out on the grounds of Rowton Hall

A very special first dance

They hired us once they saw the video of Helen and David at Thornton Hall so they knew what kind of work we did:

But as with many people they felt awkward about “posing”. So we didn’t pose them! At Celynnen Photography, we take pictures of you just the way you are. Not the way we think you should look like! Our pre-wedding sessions will make you feel at ease and will give us great insight in your personality as you will get to know more about us! See it like this: It’s just another great day out with the person you love…with someone to capture it!

Just another beautiful day in Chester..

PS: I deliberately put 2 Chester Pre-wedding sessions together so you could see the different styles of our clients! It’s not about us…it’s about YOU!

As always, we always take our clients and friends on a little photoshoot so we can see what works best for the couple and so that they get used to my style. It allows us to turn up at the wedding not being total strangers and the couple have the confidence that I can take a picture! Well…hopefully!
