The Colony HQ Wedding Photography

A Business Hub Turned Wedding Venue in Wilmslow

When I was first asked to photograph a wedding at The Colony HQ I was so stoked! I love wedding venues which are used for other things like in this case it’s a Business Hub first and foremost. I just love being creative with my photography when the environment is a little more urban and none designated wedding space.

Planning your special day at The Colony HQ?

The Colony HQ is such a beautiful place which I have photographed so many times. I love returning time and time again so why not drop me message and find out a little more?

Behind the Scenes at The Colony HQ

Through the magic of a 360 camera, I’m able to capture behind-the-scenes content on my wedding days to show my current and future couples exactly what it would like for them to have me along at their Colony HQ wedding day

All of these videos and more are captured in the most subtle way making sure to not disrupt the wedding day at all. I feel the connection between a couple and their photographer is a really important factor hence why I wanted to show this part of my work as well. I’m not like every wedding photographer and showing you these behind-the-scenes videos from The Colony hopefully helps me to reinforce that statement.

If you are still looking at wedding photographers’ websites and have come to Adam’s website, look no further, you’ve found your photographer!

From our initial meeting with Adam right the way through to our wedding he was approachable, helpful and always happy to offer advice when we weren’t sure about things.We initially met over Zoom and after spending 2 hours chatting we knew he was the best person for the job. Closer to the wedding he came over to our house and we discussed the photos we wanted and the logistics of the day

We couldn’t be more pleased with our photographs, they completely encapsulated the joy of the day.

The History of The Colony HQ

The Colony in Wilmslow opened its doors in 2015 as a purpose-built high-end business venue and event space. The venue features state-of-the-art facilities, including coworking spaces, serviced offices, meeting rooms, and event spaces, all set within beautifully landscaped gardens.

Before becoming The Colony, the site was primarily open countryside. The transformation into a premier business and event venue was a significant development, aimed at providing a unique blend of professional and personal amenities. The venue’s design and facilities were meticulously planned to create an inspiring space which can lend its hand to several uses.

Meet Adam Lowndes

A Colony HQ Wedding photographer

No matter your race, colour, creed, or sexuality, you are everything to me. I wouldn’t live this incredible photography dream job without you. I can’t help but be your absolute wedding hero.

My couples are usually super down to earth and are planning a relaxed fun wedding day surrounded by all those people they love. I love a party! So when it comes to weddings I can’t help but get wrapped up in the magic of your day. Getting so stuck in with your wedding allows me to translate so much more feeling into my photographs. At some point, you’ll want a few awesome photographs of the two of you. These photographs will take minutes and not hours so we can get straight back to the party. Oh and those family formal portraits, don’t worry about them, they’ll be zero hassle.

With my super extraverted personality I’ll be one of the most excited guests from the moment I arrive. It won’t take your wedding party long to assume we are lifelong friends.
