You’ve booked your dream Cheshire wedding venue (that’s Hilltop Country House btw), so what’s next? Amongst all of the exciting wedding planning, food and drink tasting and supplier booking, you should definitely plan in a pre-wedding engagement shoot.
A pre-wedding photoshoot with your chosen photographer at your chosen wedding venue is the perfect recipe for the perfect wedding photos on your big day. An opportunity to meet and to get to know your photographer’s style, personality and how they like to work. As for your photographer, it is an ideal time to understand the photos you’d like and to learn your ‘good’ and ‘bad’ side!
At Hilltop, with 15 acres of beauty, there are endless photo spots to explore. On your pre-wedding photoshoot, enjoy wandering and walking around the gardens and venue without any pressure of timings or guests. Find your favourite backdrops, ones that you may not have even known existed and ones that complement your style and wedding theme. It’s amazing for your photographer to also meet the venue team, get a feel of how the day will run and where is great for photos and that all important lighting!
Most recently, Joe Daniel Photography had the pleasure of meeting up with our lovely 2025 Hilltop couple Zoe and Josh, who are getting married with us in August. With a sunny, luscious backdrop of Hilltop Country House… which Joe said is his favourite wedding venue in Cheshire!
Zoe and Josh braved the cows and jumped over the fence to enable Joe to get a background of them. Although they did start to get a little nervous as the cows seemed to be getting closer and closer each time they looked behind.
The happy couple were very natural in front of the camera and really embraced the countryside feel of Hilltop with the breathtaking backdrop of the country house, luscious greenery and colourful flowers.
We cannot wait for their special day and to see more beautiful photos of Zoe and Josh.
A pre-wedding shoot is the perfect way to feel relaxed and confident on your big day. Book a visit to see our beautiful backdrops, or get in touch to arrange your shoot.
