Vicky and Russell’s Pre-Wedding Shoot at Styal Woods

Capturing pre-wedding moments for friends is always a treat, and Vicky and Russell’s shoot at Styal Woods in Cheshire was no exception. This serene woodland setting, just a stone’s throw from Styal Lodge wedding venue, provided the perfect backdrop for a relaxed and natural photo session.

We kicked things off with a casual walk along the woodland trails. The stunning autumn colors and soft natural light created an ideal environment for candid and romantic shots. Styal Woods is a favorite for couples' photography, with its mix of open spaces and tucked-away spots offering endless possibilities.

Some of the best moments from the shoot came when we kept things playful—like Russell spinning Vicky around, a spur-of-the-moment idea that resulted in genuine laughter and dynamic images.

It was a joy to spend the afternoon with Vicky and Russell, exploring the same beautiful location where they’ll celebrate their wedding at Styal Lodge, one of Cheshire’s top wedding venues.
