Chester Town Hall Wedding Photographer

Chester Town Hall wedding photography by Marie Lloyd

Hi, I am Marie Lloyd, a Chester Town Hall wedding photographer who offers wedding photography and 35mm film photography as an added service, along with BTS video. I know how to help couples relax, especially those who say they don’t like being in front of the camera. I lean into a natural and observational style, creating meaningful memories through photographs.

My photography style

I love colour, and so all my images are supplied in colour, but I also adore black and white, so you will get all your images in both colour and black and white. I have now dug out my old film camera, so you can add a roll of 35mm film to your wedding photographs to bring that arty, vintage vibe to your wedding day. Perfect for those who crave authentic, unfiltered, and un-doctored photos from the old days. My style is romantic, fun and natural, and I aim to bring in the latest trends and fashions in the most relaxed way I can, focusing on telling the story of your wedding day.

Chester Town Hall Content Creator

My BTS content creation is an add-on to your wedding photography. Using a mix of footage mostly from an iPhone, I filmed all the BTS action and a little of the main ceremony and speeches, etc., mostly in a BTS fashion. You will receive a vertical film, which is how most content is viewed these days, and in a shorter clip that is easy to share and will complement your wedding photography. All this is supplied within 48 hours, so you have quick content to share on your socials.

Available for weddings mid-week and within 6 months of today’s date

I have photographed lots of weddings and elopements that require shorter coverage, particularly at the Chester Town Hall, followed by larger weddings or at local restaurants and pubs such as the 1539 at Chester Racecourse, Oddfellows and The Shrub near Chester Town Hall. Short coverage starts at up to 2 hours and can be extended by 4 extra hours.

Testimonials

  • “We got married at Chester Town Hall last weekend and chose Marie as our photographer – and I’m so glad we did! She made us feel relaxed, comfortable and happy in her presence, which IMO is as important as the photos themselves. Haven’t had the full photos back yet, but I already know they’re exactly the vibe we wanted from the sneak peek. Candid, happy, natural, and edited so subtly but stylishly, too. I was a love bug all day and Marie is probably tired of me saying how great she is, but it’s because I mean it! Highly recommend for weddings, especially if you’re in Chester, as she knows all the best spots.”
    Alice – Chester Town Hall and The Shrub Chester Wedding
  • “I could not recommend Marie enough as a wedding photographer!
    It was an absolute pleasure walking around Chester Zoo getting to know each other whilst getting the best shots. Marie put me at ease and boosted my confidence throughout the day. My husband hates being photographed and she made the experience unforgettable, we both enjoyed every moment. The sneak peek photos were up on Instagram the next morning of our wedding day. The backstory caption on the Instagram post is a beautiful touch – she captured us perfectly on camera and in words! The photos are absolutely stunning.”
    Abbie – Chester Zoo Wedding
  • “Marie was absolutely amazing from our very first chat! Not only are her pictures wonderful but she is such a lovely person, she answered all my very many questions, put my mind at ease when I got over whelmed and had perfect communication throughout the whole process.”
    Amelia & Keron – Llangollen

My experience at Chester Town Hall

I have been photographing since 2009 and have photographed at the majority, if not all, of Chester’s wedding venues and numerous times at Chester Town Hall. Other venues I have photographed at include barn wedding venues such as Foxtail Wedding Barn and Owen House Wedding Barn. I adore Chester’s country houses, and some recent ones I have photographed include Old Palace Chester and Cheshire View. I also love the more intimate venues such as Oddfellows, Shrub and the 1539 at Chester Racecourse restaurant. My years of experience at these incredible Chester venues mean I am relaxed in both new and older venues and have forged many relationships with suppliers over the years.

Learn more about me

I started out taking evening photography classes in 2008 and then took private lessons with a wedding photographer to move into the wedding world. I photographed my first wedding as a second photographer in Plas Isaf, Corwen, North Wales. I was hooked from that day. There is nothing like driving to work knowing everyone will be excited, in a great mood, and ready for a wonderful day ahead.

From then on, I built a website and called myself Marie Lloyd Photography, not imaginative, I know, but I have good SEO with that name now, so I can’t change it to anything cooler! I photographed 16 weddings in my first year, and I have tried to work out how many weddings I have photographed since, and it must be 400 plus now. From that experience, I feel that there is no wedding scenario that you can throw at me that I cannot handle.

I love moving with the times and keeping up with trends. I take a new course every year and also strive to keep learning and growing my photography skills.
