“Pre wedding communication was fab! Everyone commented on how amazing David was at the wedding. The photos are truly breathtaking and made us feel like we could be in a magazine! If I were to describe David in three words, it would be easy, Everything we wanted” Beth & Adam
You've chosen Heaton House Farm for your wedding venue. Since you have such an incredible wedding venue, you will need the best Cheshire wedding photographer. My name is David Conway. I am an award-winning Heaton House Farm wedding photographer with many years of valuable experience. The working farm sits in the Cheshire countryside, close to Manchester, Staffordshire, and Macclesfield. If you want your wedding day to be fantastic, you couldn't have picked a better location!
My name is David Conway, and I am an experienced Cheshire wedding photographer. My wedding photographs combine both contemporary and documentary styles. I love to explore a wedding venue and all its features.
Once I know what I will be able to use, I can be very creative when it comes to lighting and composition. Spontaneous moments produce the best wedding photographs, especially when they include the newly married couple.
Cheshire is located in North West England and is full of small villages and scenic views from almost every angle. Chester and Manchester, for example, are full of historical buildings that are ideal for elopement weddings or engagement photos. Throughout Europe, the UK is known for its stunning countryside views, quaint villages, and historical estates and manor houses. From North Wales to Lancashire, I love finding new wedding venues to explore.
As a Heaton House Farm wedding photographer, I seek the best photographic opportunities. At the farm, I can use the oak pagoda and the full-length mirrors in the bridal pamper room to take beautiful photos of the bride and bridesmaids. With individual make-up stations, I can get beautiful photos of your bridesmaids during the bridal preparation process. The incredible views from the hillside of a working farm will add rustic, country charm to your wedding album. Your dream wedding awaits and will be everything you ever dreamed it could be.
You want your perfect day to be one your wedding guests will never forget. The Heath family are proud to be able to give the bride and groom a wedding day they will enjoy. The family has won many awards for their beautiful venue.
Many Cheshire wedding photographers jump at the chance to photograph weddings at the farm. There are so many opportunities at the venue. If the couple wants something unique, a train station is just a few miles away and will add to the country setting.
Heaton House Farm is a fantastic wedding venue for many reasons. It has been in the same family for over seven generations and is family-run. The Heath family hosted their first wedding in 1999 and, at the same time, maintained their working farm.
Your special day will be full of activity and even a cow or two. If you choose to have an outdoor ceremony complete with fairy lights and a view of the giant sycamore, the backdrop of your photos may include livestock grazing contentedly behind you. One of many beautiful venues in the area, none of the others offer the unique atmosphere of a working farm.
Heaton House Farm wedding photography allows me to explore my creative side. The venue offers so many photographic opportunities it isn't easy to choose a favourite. When you have chosen your wedding date, schedule your first meeting with me. We can visit the farm and meet the family.
An on-site visit lets us choose the perfect area for your group shots. It will also let me wander around, looking for the best angles and places to step back. Being out of the way lets me capture those shots of emotion and happy smiles. Emotions people often show when they think no one is looking. Contact me as soon as possible so we can get started!

I am based in Holmfirth, West Yorkshire, which gives me access to Greater Manchester, Cheshire, and the rest of Yorkshire - North Yorkshire, East Yorkshire and South Yorkshire.

Some of my favourite venues include: Allerton Castle, Bunny Hill, Carlton Towers, Colshaw Hall, Delamere Manor, Foxtail Barn, Hawkstone Hall, Hazlewood Castle, Heaton House Farm, Holmfirth Vineyard, Howsham Hall, Manor House, Merrydale Manor, Nunsmere Hall, Owen House, Peckforton Castle, Ripley Castle, Rudding Park, Rushpool Hall, Saltmarshe Hall, Swinton Park, Tithe Barn, Wharf Grange & Woodlands Hotel
Every wedding is different and the number of images you receive can be a reflection of what moments are there to be captured. On a normal wedding day I usually deliver between 600-800 images to your online gallery.
I know how keen my couples are to see and share some images from their wedding day, so with this in mind I always like to provide a selection of teaser shots a day or two after the wedding day. This would usually be around 20-30 images. I then aim to deliver the full collection of images on an online gallery within 6-8 weeks.
From the online gallery my coupes will have access to the full selection of wedding images, but they will be subtly watermarked. From the gallery you would be able to order any prints or wall art directly through my professional printing service. You would be able to share the gallery to any friends and family, and they too, would be able to order any prints they may like as well. If you wanted the full collection of high resolution images to share and keep, my couples do have the option of ordering a USB. See more on my packages page here.
Having been photographing weddings for the best part of 13 years, I am a highly experienced photographer. I have been lucky to work at some of the countries premium wedding venues and have one many awards, including the prestigious Guild Of Photographers Wedding Photographer of the Year in 2021 & 2023.
Yes, I have insurance for all my equipment as well as £2M public liability insurance. I also have Drone insurance as well as the necessary drone qualifications to be legal and safe when flying at a wedding.
No. I see my drone as an essential piece of equipment on a wedding day, and so long as the weather allows it and it is safe to do so, I will use it on your wedding day to capture shots of the venue, your guests and it allows me to get creative when getting shots of my couples too.
