Richard Milnes Photography is a recommended supplier at the following Cheshire Wedding Venues
My extensive experience has allowed me to become the recommended photographer at several prestigious Cheshire venues, such as Delamere Manor, Colshaw Hall, Sandhole Oak Barn, and Merrydale Manor. My approach to wedding photography has always been natural and unobtrusive, focusing on documenting genuine moments as they unfold. I believe in creating timeless images that authentically reflect the emotions and events of your special day.
Choosing me as your wedding photographer means entrusting someone who is not only highly experienced but also dedicated to providing excellent customer service. I understand the importance of your wedding day and strive to make the photography process as seamless and enjoyable as possible. While I focus exclusively on photography, I’m happy to connect you with trusted local videographers to complement your wedding story with cinematic film.
My approach is natural, unobtrusive and focused on capturing the day as it happens. Rather than staging moments or asking you to pose endlessly, I work in the background, documenting real interactions and genuine emotions.
Often couples who don't feel comfortable in front of the camera, tell me that my approach helps them relax and put them at ease, which is exactly what I aim for. A wedding day should be about enjoying the moments and not worrying about the photographer! By blending into the background, I capture natural expressions and authentic moments without interrupting the natural flow of the day.

Colshaw Hall is one of the most exclusive and luxurious Cheshire wedding venues, located in the beautiful Cheshire countryside.
As one of Colshaw Hall's recommended suppliers, I’ve photographed a huge number of weddings here, making me one of the most experienced photographers at the venue. This means I know all the best locations for photos in every season, how the light falls at different times of the day, and how to make the most of every setting—whether it’s the ceremony room, the gardens, or the Peel Suite.
Because I’ve worked at Colshaw Hall so often, I know exactly how weddings flow, I’m familiar with the team, the timings, and the layout, which allows me to work smoothly alongside everyone to capture each moment naturally. I know how to work alongside the toastmaster to arrange the perfect confetti shot outside the chapel, the best angles for portraits in the grounds, and how to document the energy of the reception.
My experience also means I can bring out the very best in every part of the day. I know where to find the most flattering light, when to take advantage of golden hour for romantic portraits, and how to create natural, relaxed group shots without keeping your guests waiting too long. Having photographed almost 100 weddings at Colshaw Hall, I know exactly what works to create beautiful, timeless images.
​If you’re looking for a photographer who knows Colshaw Hall inside and out and can capture your day in a way that feels effortless and natural, I’d love to be part of it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

As one of their recommended suppliers, I’ve had the pleasure of photographing well over 100 weddings at Sandhole Oak Barn, and my experience there has given me a real understanding of how to get the best out of this stunning venue. From the moment you arrive, I know how to make the most of the beautiful oak beams, the tranquil lake, and the sweeping countryside views that make Sandhole Oak Barn so special.
With over 15 years of experience working at Sandhole, I’ve built a strong rapport with the team and know the layout like the back of my hand. This means I’m always in the right place at the right time, capturing everything from the intimate moments during the ceremony to the relaxed atmosphere of the reception. I’ve learned how to showcase the barn’s charm while also highlighting the personality of each couple I work with.
The space is perfect for both indoor and outdoor photos, and having shot so many weddings there, I’ve got a good feel for how to adapt to the weather and the layout on the day. I can make use of the natural light flooding through the barn’s windows or take you out by the water for romantic, scenic portraits. I know how to work around the space efficiently so you don’t feel rushed and can enjoy every moment.
If you’re getting married at Sandhole Oak Barn, my experience means I’ll already be familiar with every angle and every opportunity to create beautiful, memorable photographs that tell the story of your day. I’d love to bring my knowledge and passion to your wedding.​

Delamere Manor is a venue that combines luxury with the natural beauty of Cheshire's countryside. The venue’s stunning grounds, complete with a serene lake and beautiful trees, provide the perfect backdrop for breath-taking, natural light-filled photos that really capture the elegance of your day.
The abundance of natural light at Delamere Manor is one of the key reasons I love working there. The light pours into the venue, creating the most flattering, romantic conditions for your wedding photos. Whether it's an intimate moment by the lake or a candid shot on the terrace, the light brings a warmth and depth to every photo.
The grounds at Delamere Manor are nothing short of spectacular. The panoramic views, sweeping lawns and tranquil lake offer endless opportunities for creative and stunning shots with a dramatic backdrop.
The luxury of Delamere Manor also plays a big part in the overall feel of the day. The venue’s opulent features, like the courtyard, exquisite interiors, and stylish design, offer the perfect settings for capturing those high-end, editorial-style wedding images but also lend themselves to an intimate, cosy feel. As one of Delamere Manor's recommended photographers, I’d love to help you create timeless, beautiful images that will last forever.
​Let’s ensure your wedding day is preserved as beautifully in photo and video as it feels in your heart. Get in touch today to discuss the photography and videography package that works best for your special day.
