Jenny & Andrei - A Sweet (& sweaty!) Summer Wedding at Irlam Train Station - Cheshire Wedding Photographer

Yesterday, amidst the charming surroundings of Irlam Train Station, I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of the delightful couple, Jenny and Andrei. It was a day that will forever be etched in their hearts and memories, as well as in my own.


The weather, although unpredictable, added a touch of whimsy to the occasion. We experienced a mix of downpour and sunshine throughout the day, which created an ethereal atmosphere. And to top it all off, nature gifted us with the most enchanting sight of all—a faint rainbow stretching across the sky, as if blessing their union - I promptly grabbed them both (mid conversations, sorry!) because it was a photo op not to be missed!


Our journey began at the very church in Culceth where Jenny's parents had exchanged vows three decades prior. Steeped in history and nostalgia, it was the perfect setting for this beautiful couple to start their own chapter of love and commitment. As I captured precious moments between Jenny and Andrei, the emotions in the room were palpable. Love radiated from every corner, resulting in photographs that exuded pure joy and happiness.


The excitement and anticipation continued to grow as we made our way to Irlam Train Station—a unique and unconventional choice for a wedding venue. But Jenny and Andrei's adventurous spirits knew no bounds, and it turned out to be an inspired decision. The historic station, with its charming platform and vintage details, provided a magical atmosphere that perfectly complemented the couple's love story.

Throughout the day, Jenny and Andrei brought a radiant energy that I believe will forever be etched in their photographs. Their love, kindness, and infectious smiles made my job as a photographer an absolute joy. The chemistry between the couple was electric, making every shot a true reflection of their love for one another.
As the day unfolded, I eagerly captured not only the big moments—such as their first dance and the cutting of the cake—but also the small, intimate moments between Jenny and Andrei. The stolen glances, the whispered promises, and the shared laughter—all of these nuances were encapsulated in timeless photographs that will forever serve as a reminder of their magical day.


Photographing Jenny and Andrei’s wedding at Irlam Train Station was an experience filled with joy, love, and excitement. From the historic church to the unconventional venue, every element added to the uniqueness and beauty of their celebration.


I cannot thank the happy couple enough for entrusting their day to me, for truly being the best of sports when it came to my silly ideas and for welcoming me so warmly into their lives. Here’s a sneak peek of what we got up to…
