A Modern Airy Architectural Beauty
Just 3.7 miles from J16 of the M6 motorway and 3.8 miles from Crewe Railway Station sits the conveniently located Wychwood Park Hotel and Golf Club. Based in Weston which is part of the outskirts of Crewe this contemporary sleek architectural hotel sits within 200 acres of beautiful parkland.
Wychwood Park is a private gated community which sits within the county of Cheshire. With a relatively small housing complex towards the rear which boasts mostly detached 5+ bedroom homes for the local wealthy looking to relax amongst the countryside whilst feeling secure in the complex. It’s also rumoured to be home to many a Premier League footballer it’s apparently not uncommon to share the golf green with some celebrity names.
Boasting it’s own separate club house which serves their Championship PGA European Tour standard 18 hole golf course. The golf course alongside the hotel is a strong attraction for those looking for a challenging game and a place to stay.
Wychwood Park was acquired in 2017 by the Mokan Group who’re a company of three Bahrainian investors. This acquisition was part of an expansion of their hotel empire which saw them also acquire Crabwell Hotel & Spa during a similar time. The day to day management of the hotel was then handed over to Legacy Hotels & Resorts. Following this acquisition and the implementation of Legacy the hotel saw a £3 million renovation and refurbishment process in 2019 to bring more warmth to the hotel. Specifically designed to bring luxury in and making the whole hotel feel less corporate and clinical. Their aim is to target their venue to those still of the business persuasion but those also looking for a more leisure orientated stay.

Photographing Amongst Rolling Cheshire Parkland
As you enter the large modern airy reception it is littered with natural light shining it’s way through and this is a characteristic which only continues throughout the hotel giving you beautifully lit photographs throughout your day.
With it’s sweeping driveway, gleaming water fountains and panoramic countryside views there’s no place you can turn at Wychwood which wouldn’t make the most beautiful backdrop for your wedding. It’s diverse parkland is stunning to photograph amongst and you can really create some different photographs amongst it shooting wide open at 24mm and not getting a single other soul in frame.
When it comes to taking your couple portraits you can either wander the immediate beautiful grounds together or explore the outer sections via a golf buggy which Wychwood lay on for you to use. It’s always a bit of fun zooming round on a golf buggy and really allows your photographs not to cut into your precious time on your big day.
Being a Wychwood Park wedding photographer is such a joyful day. With it’s modern bright and airy decor I don’t have to worry as much about the lighting as I would if I was photographing within a dark barn. With this in mind I can really focus on capturing the joyous moments which unfold in all of their glory.
