Wedding photography workshops in manchester

Wedding photography workshops in Manchester !

I have had a lot of requests from amateur/semi professional photographers about whether I would be running any wedding workshops this year!

Well I am pleased to announce that I am in the last stages of putting together a syllabus for a weekend long workshop. These will be running in my off season [ie when I don't have a wedding booked!].

Details to follow…watch this space!

Helen and John’s Wedding

Congratulations to Helen and John !

When you live in the City Center of Manchester…there is only one place to get married and that’s St Anne’s Church !

There’s nothing like a busy Saturday in the Center of Manchester to have a great wedding location. Helen and John had hoped to be able to walk from the ceremony at St Annes on to the Reception at the Midland Hotel, but unfortunately it started raining [just enough] to make the black cab a sensible option…

Tara and Marco’s Wedding Album

A quick peak at Tara and Marco’s Wedding Album. Tara only likes black and white photos, and had a very traditional style in mind for their wedding album. This is the first ‘white’ album that has been requested for some time!

This is the white version of the Spicer Madison album, this is a 20 page album, which allows for 40 prints! {One print on each side of the page}

Thursday…

Walls going up. Plasterboard [drywall to some] 8′ x 4′ sheets are very heavy…top floor wasn’t such a good idea.

Boards going down…

The boards for the floor came Tuesday morning. 8′ x 4′ sheets of chipboard take a bit of moving up two flights of stairs !

Weekend workers…

Josh and I started work at the weekend…

It’s a great floor but I haven’t got the time to sand and varnish, so a new floor is going in over the top.

No photography this week !

Yesterday we got the keys to our new studio…

…well it will be a studio, soon !

It even included some luxury furniture…

Hey Dad, do those trap doors work?

Dad, I’m tired just thinking of what we have to do! No heating, no lights and I think the temperatrure is about -3C !!!

Award winning !

I have just found out I am now officially an “Award winning Photographer” !!!!

I haven’t done this on my own, I have to thank Ric & Lisa for allowing me to be part of their day at Peckforton Castle. I’m afraid I don’t know the names of the two girls, so I can’t credit them but they certainly help make the picture.

This photo has been given a Silver Award by the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers – SWPP and BPPA.

Yet another wet and wild day in Manchester !

Fortunately we had a break in the rain to get a few shots outside, though not as many as we had planned.
The wedding was at the Old Court House in Worsley, a fantastic looking building !

Congratulations again to Darren and Jenni, thanks for allowing me to be part of your special day !
