Take a look at some of our recent work.
Last Saturday we were off to what I consider the best hotel in Manchester, the amazing Great John Street. We were there to provide coverage of Lee & Maria's joint 40th birthday celebrations. Lee & Maria live in Dubai and traveled home to celebrate their birthdays with their friends and family in Manchester at this incredible venue.
Here's a small selection of candids from what was an awesome event.

Black Tie Ball at the Imperial Hotel, Blackpool, raising money for Blackpool Vic's Cardiac Unit
On Saturday we were at the Imperial Hotel in Blackpool to provide our black tie event photography services to help raise money for an incredibly worthy cause; the Cardiac Unit at Blackpool Victoria Hospital.
The event was put on by Denise, the mother of a young Blackpool lad called Louie who suffered from a cardiac arrest aged just 22. The Cardiac Unit were amazing with Louie and he’s now back to full health and back to what he enjoys most, playing football in the Blackpool & Alliance Sunday league. Having played in that league, it’s his legs he should be worried about now!
We attended the event completely free of charge and donated £70.00 of the print sales straight to the Cardiac Unit. If you have a black tie event coming up to raise money for a charity close to your heart, why not contact us and get us booked in. We’ll attend for free and donate 25% of print sales to your chosen charity. It really is a no-brainer.
As a rule, Mondays are a dull affair. So here we are with some colourful vivid images to brighten up your day. We recently covered a pre-wedding celebration for Michael and his stunning bride to be, Janki. One day prior to their big event, Michael was also holding a 'Mandra Murat', which he asked us to cover. The Mandra Murat is a religious ceremony to bring good luck and prosperity to both the families. As you can see, this is an amazing event, full of fun, laughter and loads of colour! Here's a few of our favourite shots from the day.
On Saturday we headed to Manchester to cover Michael & Janki's Pre-Wedding Party. This was a huge get together for all their family and friends to celebrate their forthcoming wedding. This was a great event, full of life, vibrant colours, awesome food and top notch people. Tomorrow, we're also covering another pre-wedding family celebration for Michael & Jenki, then on Saturday it's the big day! Have an amazing wedding day guys and we hope you enjoy your images!
A few weeks ago we covered part one of Julie's 40th ... the boozy part. Julie invited us back to cover the second part of her birthday at her beautiful home surrounded by friends and family and her pet cat. Amazing human beings these lot, accommodating, welcoming and easy on the lens. Here's my favorites. Happy birthday Julie and let me know when Part Three is !
We covered a christening recently in the stunning town of Nantwich, Cheshire. It was the christening of the ridiculously cute Lily Rose, such a little beauty. The ceremony took place at St Mary's right in the heart of the town, and the celebration after was at The Residence, one of the nicest venues I've even been to. To celebrate the christening of little Lily, the guests had a vintage mad hatter themed tea party, which finished the day off to perfection. Here's a few of my favourite images from the day.
On Saturday night we headed down to Ramsbottom to cover Julie's 40th. The party was being held at the idyllic Eagle & Child; a beautiful country pub, with the most incredible beer garden I've ever seen. The weather was gorgeous, the guests mingled, drank and were entertained perfectly by the mesmerising magic of Chris Hurst. If you're holding an event and looking for a magician, the literally don't come in higher regard than this guy. Anyway, enough of my ramblings, here's a few of my favourite images from the evening. Julie, happy birthday and enjoy!
Last Friday we made our way to The Mercure Hotel in Rochdale to cover another prom. This time it was the turn of Siddal Moor Sports College. We provided the school with our all inclusive package; this allows all the students to download their images securely from our client gallery after the event for free. We've noticed the majority of proms going this way this year, with the requirement for digital images far surpassing the need for a physical print, no doubt caused by the impact of the multitude of social media platforms currently available. Anyway, whatever the client wants, the client gets!
We captured a few shots of the arrival of the students - this part of the night is proper wacky these days, almost mirroring the grand scale of the proms you see in the states. Limos, Bentleys, Rolls Royce, you name it, they all rocked up in style. We then captured some formals for the kids and we had a right crack in the process. Here's a few of the shots peeps, enjoy my blog reading friends.
We’ve covered loads of proms and graduations this Summer. Unfortunately I haven’t had time to blog them all, but this particular one deserves an entry. The students at Helsby High Sixth form went all out, displaying planning skills far greater than their actual age of 18! They planned the whole prom themselves with a vegas theme that covered all bases. There were ginormous vegas backdrops for entrance images, a multitude of casino tables for them to get involved in, life size Elvis’s and much more. Here’s a few images from what was a little belter of a prom.
Bit late with this one, knee deep in events at the moment! This, in all honesty was probably one of the best events I’ve ever had the pleasure of covering. A couple of weeks before their wedding party, Jade and Matthew got married in France and this party was a massive celebration for all their family and friends who were unable to attend. The party was at the beautiful venue of The Mere in Cheshire and I love the place, having covered a number of events there.
Guests arrived to a glass of champagne and were ushered into what can only be described as a room of flowers. As I’m a man, I probably shouldn’t say this, but, they were beautiful. After an hour or so mingling, a set of double doors opened and the best party room you've ever seen was unveiled to the guests. There was a swing band that were immense, girls dancing inside 8 foot champagne glasses and much more. The theme was the Great Gatsby and put simply, they’d absolutely nailed it.
Anyway, enough of my ramblings, here’s some of the images from the evening.
Last weekend I went to Revolucion de Cuba in Manchester to cover Lisa's Hen Party. Surrounded by woman, my ideal day ! Only joking Helen hehe! (that's my better half and she was on the hen party) Anyway, the girls had an awesome day, starting off with a cocktail making session downstairs. The better they got at making them, the quicker they were getting thrown down their throats! After that the girls went upstairs for some food and I provided some candid coverage of this part of the day.
Here's some of my favourites from the day, hope you all enjoy.
On Friday we were back at the Mercure in Manchester, this time covering the graduation of Manchester's finest dentists! All of the guests there had just qualified and will no doubt be coming to a dentist near you very soon to cause you immense pain. Thankfully, they didn't cause me any pain and were a superb bunch to capture.
On arrival, we snapped some formal shots for them, then spent a while in the main room capturing some candid stuff. Here's a few of my favourites from the night. Enjoy people.
Last night we made our way to the Peace Centre in Warrington to cover the annual European meet for the 'Round Table'. The organisers opted for our unlimited download package, so all the guests could download their images for free from our Client Galleries section.
We were initially supposed to be capturing the 'entry shots' against our mobile backdrop, but with the sun beating down, it was far too nice to be inside.
This was a lovely event to cover and all the guests were a joy to meet. Here's a few early edits from last night ... 'Peace' out man (see what I did there!)
This weekend we were off to Bolton to cover the birthday party of little Mia. There were party games, candy floss and One Direction on loop, what more could a 6 year old want. The kids had a great time and here's just a few of the very early edits from the day.
It's not just private parties, proms and black tie events we cover ... from time to time we also get asked to cover a variety of corporate events. The latest one was the relaunch of the Dunelm Store in Blackpool following a multi million pound refit.
We were tasked with capturing both the layout of the store and the multitude of departments, but the company also wanted some natural shots to document a 'day in the life' of the store; customers, interaction etc. We obviously also captured the official ribbon cutting ceremony and staff shots etc. It was a real pleasure to cover this event for such a well known high street brand and the management team and every single staff member at the store was a pleasure to deal with.
Here's a few shots from the day.
On Sunday, we we're at the beautiful Victoria Hotel in Oldham to cover a Silver Wedding Anniversary for a lovely couple. Their closest family and friends joined them to celebrate 25 years of married life; some feat in this day and age! The family opted for our Silver Party Photography package, providing them with three hours coverage and all edited images on DVD.
Here's a few of my favourite images from what was a superb day.
We've shot a number of Christenings of late and we bloody love 'em! Here's the Christening of the little cutie Jack! The Christening was at the Alkrington & Providence Church in Middleton, then we headed down the road to The Middleton Archer to capture some party shots for the family.
If you've got a christening coming up, have a look at our party & celebration packages and see what we can offer you.
Anyway, here's a few of our favourite shots from the main man Jack's Christening. Enjoy people!
Last Sunday we covered a couple of christenings. The first one is the christening of the ridiculously cheeky and cute brothers, Joseph and Matthew. The boys behaved like an absolute dream throughout.
If your child's christening is coming up, take a look at our party and celebration packages; with two hours coverage at just £99.00, including all high res images, there's really no reason not to have professional photography coverage of your child's christening.
Here's a few of my favourite shots from their lovely christening.
On Friday we were down at the Mercure Hotel in Manchester to cover the Chemical Engineering Society Ball for Manchester University. We provided the university with our 'all-inclusive' package, allowing all guests to download their images from our client galleries in full high-res. Upon arrival we captured guests against our mobile studio setup. We then roved round the room capturing some candid shots of the guests. Here's some of those images. Enjoy people.
On Sunday gone, I headed off to Manchester to cover a 1st birthday party and what a belter of a party it was. The kids looked like they were having a lovely time; there was a bouncy castle, pass the parcel, smash the life out of a paper mache donkey (I don't think that's the actual name of it) mickey and minnie mouse and more importantly, loads of sweets. I had a good few sweets myself; not because I'm greedy, purely for energy, these kids can move fast and I had to be able to keep up with them !
Here's some of the early edits from the event. Hope you enjoy them.
