Looking for a PR or Commercial Photographer in Cheshire?

Celynnen Photography are well known locally for providing images that get picked up in National media! From campaigns we did for Virgin Train to promoting local touristic attractions, we always aim to get you the largest exposure possible. Our images have been published in the Manchester Evening News, the Telegraph, the Daily Mail, The Chronicle and many more.

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!

Call it Hoole Hall, call it Double Tree Hilton..either way, it was a great day!

The day started a bit of hot and muggy and the heat in the Bride’s bedroom was giving the air con a workout, but we knew from the start that  it was going to be a special day. We knew Susie and Steve were great fun from when we did some pre-wedding portrait photography in Portmeirion, and the moment we arrived, we saw that they were sell surrounded by a group of equally fun-seeking friends!

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!

Just the way you are..

Being a wedding photographer is obviously a privilege, and I privilege I am truly grateful for every time one of my client’s special day comes. But some people often forget how much of a privilege it is to do family portrait photography as well!

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.:)
