PHOTOGRAPHY AT THE VENUE
Making the Most of Mercure St Helens
The Pyramid Suite's glass ceiling is a genuinely distinctive feature — worth timing a few reception shots to make the most of the natural light it lets in before the evening lighting takes over.
With guests staying on site, the morning of the wedding is worth covering too — getting-ready shots in the hotel rooms add a layer that's easy to miss when a venue is purely a reception space.
