Jessica & Lawrence’s
Old Palace Chester Wedding Shoot

Jessica and Larence’s styled shoot at The Old Palace in Chester was a celebration of autumn light, timeless surroundings, and refined seasonal beauty.

Set during early autumn, the shoot was wrapped in warm colour — golden leaves drifting along the waterside, soft amber tones in the trees, and that gentle, glowing light that only this time of year brings. The contrast between the historic stone walls of The Old Palace and the richness of the season created a beautifully cinematic feel, full of texture, depth, and atmosphere.

This wasn’t a wedding day, but a styled shoot created to capture the character of the venue and the mood of the season. Jessica and Larence moved through the grounds and waterside paths, surrounded by falling leaves and reflected colour, creating a visual story that felt calm, elegant, and timeless.

Inside, the venue was just as striking — soft light through tall windows, muted tones, and architectural details that give The Old Palace Chester its quiet sense of grandeur. Everything about the space feels considered and graceful, lending itself naturally to an editorial, timeless feel.

The result was a collection of images that felt warm, seasonal, and classic — an autumnal story shaped by history, nature, and beautiful light.
