The Queen Hotel, Chester ♥ Anneke and Anthony

We had just enough time to recover from our Christmas celebrations before we were back to work and photographing the civil wedding ceremony of Anneke and Anthony at The Queen Hotel in Chester on the 30th December 2009.

The Queen Hotel is a lovely venue for a wedding and we have been there many times. It has recently undergone substantial refurbishment and redecoration and looks wonderful.

Talking of looking wonderful, Anneke was stunning as were her bridesmaids in wonderful dresses.

The weather was bitingly cold and a little damp and very windy, so Anneke and Anthony chose to have their photos indoors which was not a problem as the Queen Hotel has many fantastic locations we can use for photographs.

Here are a few of them for you to see
























More photographs from The Queen Hotel, Chester and other venues can be found both in this blog and on our main wedding website at www.barrieneilweddings.co.uk

Wedding at the Queen Hotel, Chester

St Werburgh's Church slap bang in the middle of Chester is a magnificent building and provides a wonderful setting for a wedding service as it did on Saturday, 3rd October 2009 for the wedding of Heather and John.

It is so bright and large that even with a large gathering of friends and family it didn't feel crowded. The weather had been really good although a little breezy and as there was going to be a baptism right after our wedding, we decided we would go to the park opposite the church for some family photos.

At this time of year with all the lovely autumn colours, the park would make an excellent setting for the photographs. Unfortunately though, the weather had other ideas and just before Heather and John left the church, the heavens opened and the rain started to fall.

Never mind, the Chester vintage bus had been booked to ferry passengers back and forth to the hotel from the church so we all piled on that for the short journey to the Queen Hotel and we did the photographs in the very unusual courtyard gardens of the hotel..

Everybody appeared to have a great time and the bride and groom are no doubt enjoying the delights of Kuala Lumpar for a few days as I write this before heading further to Borneo - how exotic is that!

As usual, I can show you a few of the photographs from the wedding. We'll post a few more photos over on our wedding blog at www.barrieneilweddings.blogspot.com
