Owen House Wedding Barn Wedding Venue

Inside the barn

Owen House Wedding Barn is a lovely bespoke barn venue on a working family farm in Mobberley, one of Cheshire's prettiest villages, offering a truly unique wedding experience. The barn has been designed and built by the family with real care, all oak beams and natural light, and it shows.

Because the barn was purpose-designed for weddings, everything works: the ceremony space, the flow into the reception, the light for photography at every time of day. With the family personally involved in every wedding, the welcome is as warm as the barn is beautiful.

Purpose-designed, family-run

The farm setting gives the day an authentic countryside feel: fields, farmland and big Cheshire skies all around, with the village church a short walk away for couples marrying there first. For portraits, the barn's timber and the surrounding farmland are endlessly photogenic.

The day flows with rustic ease: ceremony in the barn or the church, drinks on the farm, portraits in the golden fields, then a party beneath the oak beams.

The History of Owen House Wedding Barn

A working farm's new purpose

Owen House Wedding Barn sits on a working farm on Small Lane in Mobberley, a village with a history stretching back to the Domesday Book and a church dating to the 13th century. The barn is a bespoke creation by the family who farm the land, built to be a wedding venue from the ground up while keeping its agricultural soul.

That combination, real farm, purpose-built barn, family at the helm, has made it one of the most talked-about barn venues in Cheshire.

Mobberley's talking point

The barn has won a devoted following among Cheshire couples, and it's easy to see why: the beauty of a barn wedding with none of the compromises, run by a family who treat every wedding as their own.

Questions I get

ABOUT ANDY WADE PHOTOGRAPHY

No. 90% of any day I shoot is completely candid. I can photograph all day without a single ‘posed’ photo. The portraits of you both, if you’d like some, are kept simple and as natural as possible; nothing cheesy and nothing awkward. Usually the portraits of you are created during a relaxing wander together for 20 minutes or so with me capturing shots as we go along – so not really posing. We may stop in a certain spot but most of that time you’ll forget I’m there and the portraits will feel and look perfectly natural. Just think of this as a bit of ‘you time’! There is the option to create a specific photo with flashes which I set up – but only if you want that. Even if I do it will be set up before we do it so that you can spend the maximum time with your guests. Otherwise I’ll just photograph the day as it happens.

Firstly I have to be available on your day but after that just say “Let’s do It!”. Just fill out the email form on my contact page or just send me a text, a message on Instagram or just give me a call. A small deposit then secures the day. That deposit is refundable up to one month after the agreement to go ahead. In the meantime, I will send you some paperwork and that will include a contract which has the terms and conditions, which we both sign when you’re 100% happy. You’ll also receive a summary of what is in your package.

Your photos will be delivered in a beautiful gallery that will work on any device. You can control the sharing of your photos from your gallery for family and friends or to social media. You can download your photos in full, high resolution or in a smaller version should you wish to share them. There are no watermarks on your photos and are free for your personal use. There is also the option to buy prints and wall art and you can create and order albums from the ‘Shop’ area of your gallery. If you have a slideshow made then it can be viewed from your gallery as well.

For a 9 hour wedding you get an edit of about 500+ photos. If it is a 12 hour day then around 700+. I work on your photos intensely after the wedding, lovingly crafting them so that they are perfectly colour balanced with a bright, fresh look. There’s probably a ratio of a third black and white and two thirds colour.

It’s been designed and built by the family who farm the land, so there’s a personal touch in every beam. That warmth comes through in every candid photograph I take there.

Yes. I think it’s good to meet as you can ask all the questions you need to. I’ll be around you for almost all of your wedding day so meeting up before the day is a great way of getting to know each other. I’m a nice chap and very comfortable with people I’ve just met, so it’s not a problem if we don’t. A video call is a really good way of talking things through if we can’t arrange a meeting.

Yes. Most people like a few photos of mum, dad and their close family as well as the bridesmaids and groomsmen. I get that it is important and can be good fun, too. It takes about 10 minutes to organise a photo of everyone, for example, and then about 2-3 minutes for each one after that providing everyone is available. You decide what those photos are if you want them – I don’t have a ‘list’ of my own. If there is 1.5 – 2 hours between your ceremony and wedding breakfast then I’d suggest to have something like 20 mins with you portraits and then 20 mins of group photos dotted about, so between 6-10 group shots max. This way you spend more time just being with your guests, which I will capture naturally. I hear many stories of people who have been to weddings and were really bored and made to stand around for hours while the photographer goes through a repertoire of their own group photos. That’s not me!

Yes. There is an amazing choice of albums and wall art that will be available from your gallery and that I can send you information on. There is so much choice that I do not put albums in my packages unless on specific request. I do have three album packages that broadly cover the options so if you would like to include one I would be happy to chat and look at putting an album in your package.

Yes, but you can have another photographer if you wish – called a ‘2nd shooter’. If, for instance, you’d like the groomsmen preparation photos covered fully as well and they are over 15 mins away, I can employ a second photographer to cover that for £350/day and they will stay until the speeches – so about 6 hours. A second photographer is great to cover a specific span of time but does not necessarily mean a ‘better’ set of photos. I can be in and amongst a whole wedding party quite easily and capture the essence of the day without a 2nd shooter but it does enable us to do more portraits together – if that is what you’d like – and we can have more angles covered in the ceremony. If you would like a 2nd shooter then we’d book them about 3 months before the day. They are always 1st class, professional photographers like me and shoot in my style.

The barn’s timber and the surrounding farmland are endlessly photogenic, with fields and big Cheshire skies all around. If you’re marrying at the village church first, that’s a short walk away too.

Yes, it sits on a working family farm in Mobberley, and the family are personally involved in every wedding. That real farm setting gives the day an authentic countryside feel that photographs beautifully.
