Jon-man and Becca's wedding, The Place, Manchester.

 




I have recently blogged this lovely couple's engagement photos and told the story of how they got together, well now, here are their wedding photos! It was held at The Place apartment hotel in Manchester. The beautiful peacock theme (vibrant purples, blues and pinks) was absolutely stunning and when I saw the fairy lights wrapped around each pillar at the reception I smiled big time!! 

Becca got ready in Didsbury at a friend's house after having her hair done just round the corner at John Yate's hairdresser's on Didsbury high street. This was a lovely place to be as a photographer on the morning of a wedding because it is so full of light and space! The ceremony was then held at Ivy church, Barlowmoor Road, Didsbury which is a great church to photograph in and I was helped by the very talented Hannah Beatrice who took some of the lovely shots of Becca at the front of the church.

We then traveled to Castlefield which is one of my all time favourite places to shoot couples and families. We took loads of photos as they were all such willing models and got back in our cars so happy we'd taken the time to stop. It's such a lovely time between newly wed man and wife just after the ceremony and a shoot like this gives them a short bit of time together to just stop and take stock of what they have just done!

We then drove to The Place in Manchester city centre to start the afternoon/evening celebrations. Because of Jon-man's roots they chose to perform a traditional tea ceremony in the afternoon which was beautiful and the first one I had experienced. This was followed by incredible food, laughter during the speeches and dancing well into the night. I think you will agree that this wedding is a stunning one full of colour and originality. I hope you enjoy the photos :)











I LOVE these cufflinks!

A happy Daddy as he sees his daughter for this first time!








A beautiful moment between Father and Daughter..it's these moments I usually get quite teary and have to work harder to focus my camera!! Thanks for capturing it Hannah













Now do you see why I LOVE this place!




Becca needed no encouragement to pose with this fun umbrella!

The stunning architecture of The Place is clear in this photo and is one reason why so many choose it for their wedding or city break!








The tea ceremony was beautiful and very touching.






Becca disappeared at one point to change into traditional clothing...this dress is stunning and suited her perfectly!



 Thanks for looking...see you again soon
