The sun shone all day for Becky and Ben’s gorgeous spring wedding at Owen House Barn. These guys chose the perfect venue for their Spring wedding in Cheshire.
Owen House Barn is a bespoke wedding venue set on a working family run farm in Mobberley in Cheshire.
On the day we got there early so we could catch up with the wedding parties as they got ready and get some images of the venue all dressed and ready to go! It looked amazing.
We found Becky getting ready in Owen Barn’s beauty shed with her bridal party that consisted of her, her mum Debbie, maid of honour Sarah, bridesmaids Jen, Amelia, Josie and the utterly adorable flower girl poppy. There was a buzz of excitement as everybody got ready whilst drinking some bubbly and exchanging presents. Becky was in the safe hands of makeup artist and hairstylist Emily Simpson.
We also took the chance to get some images of some of the little touches at the wedding. We love the little touches as they always tell us something of our couples’ personalities. And the bridal party’s personalised white wellies all lined up ready for the day were just too cute and warranted an image of their own.

Ben and his grooms party got ready at Owen House as well in their wittily named Baa-BER shed. They consisted of Ben, his dad Mark, best man Matty, Becky’s brother Dan (who was acting as toastmaster for the day) groomsmen Dan, Dale, Liam and Jono and the very handsome and very young page boy Bradley. We also got the chance to capture some images of them to including a special moment of Ben opening a gift of a watch from Becky.
Becky looked amazing in a spaghetti strapped lace detail dress that had a gorgeous sculpted shape that gently fanned out at the bottom giving her a gorgeous silhouette in all of our images. Her bouquet was made up of elegant white flowers with green foliage and featured a small picture of Becky’s grandmother. It’s always lovely to see loved ones lost included in the wedding day in personal ways. Ben looked very smart in a grey check three-piece suit with brown brogues. They pitched it just right for the style of wedding. Bridesmaids wore gorgeous dresses in a soft muted grey.
The wedding ceremony was held in the beautiful ceremony room that adjoins the barn. The room had been dressed perfectly. The ceremony was lovely with two personal readings.
Afterwards, as the sun was shining everybody enjoyed a drinks and canapes reception in the courtyard area and there was musical accompaniment by Rachel Green on the guitar. We took our chance to get some fantastic group images of the wedding party, we loved the ones taken in front of the haybales.

The reception was held in the barn which had been dressed beautifully for the wedding meal by the talented people from Atmosphere venue dressers. Becky and Ben were welcomed rapturously by their guests and speeches happened before the food. Which is always a good idea because then the speech givers can relax for the rest of the day. And the tables still look pristine in all of the photographs. Caterers on the day were Vanilla in all seasons and they really delivered. The food went down an absolute storm.
After dinner, as guests happily mingled and milled around there was time for more images. The bridal party donned their customised wellies and we headed for the cowshed to get some images. The drinks had been flowing for a while now which made it all the more fun. Lord only knows what the cows made of it!
Evening celebrations kicked off with a fun sparkler serenade followed by the cutting of the Connie and Colin wedding caterpillar cakes. We don’t know why everybody doesn’t have those at weddings. They’re always a winner!
Dancing was started by Becky and Ben heading to the dancefloor for their first dance to James Arthur’s ‘Say you won’t let go’. The string of fairy lights that covered the ceiling and walls of the barn’s dancefloor created a really magical setting and made the perfect backdrop for some romantic portrait images of Becky and Ben.
