Venue Photography for Cheshire country estates
We photograph country estate briefs for venue photography the way we would want ours photographed: quickly, respectfully, well. Country estates across Cheshire and the West Pennines carry parkland, lakes and outbuildings — the photography has to show the whole landholding, not just the main house.
Context
Estate stock is a full-day format — the shoot is scoped accordingly.
Concretely, interior + exterior + aerial pack for marketing site and brochure. The day is planned as a route across the estate; every frame has an agreed vantage before we walk to it.
