I had an amazing time collaborating with Greeshma from Styled by Greesh on a photography project in the heart of Manchester.
We organized a captivating photoshoot featuring a dreamy ethnic Indian bridal look. The picturesque B&B in Manchester provided the perfect backdrop for our creative venture. The team was brimming with excitement as we embarked on this journey. Model Chloe displayed elegance, bringing the allure of an Indian bride to life. Greeshma, the stylist, meticulously curated a selection of stunning ethnic Indian bridal ensembles, each representing timeless beauty. The shoot’s success hinged on seamless collaboration, and this team worked together harmoniously to bring Greeshma’s creative vision to life.

Najlaa and Myaser had their religious wedding in their home country, Iraq, surrounded by their families and friends. However, they wanted to capture the joy and excitement of their special day with a photoshoot in Manchester’s beautiful Heaton Park.
As wedding photographer, I was thrilled to be a part of their celebration. I arrived at the park on a sunny afternoon and was immediately struck by the beauty of the surroundings. Even though at this time of the year there was no lush greenery but the serene lake and the charming architecture of the park all provided a stunning backdrop for the photoshoot.
Najlaa and Myaser were beaming with happiness and excitement as they greeted their loved ones who had joined them for the photoshoot.
As we began the photoshoot, it was clear that Najlaa and Myaser shared a deep love and affection for one another. They were constantly laughing and joking with each other, and their playful energy made the photoshoot a joy to capture.
Their families and friends also played a crucial role in the photoshoot. They provided a supportive and loving environment, cheering and encouraging the couple as they posed for pictures. It was clear that everyone present shared in the happiness of this special occasion.
We explored various areas of the park, taking photos against the stunning natural scenery and historic architecture. The couple’s traditional attire added an extra touch of elegance and beauty to the photoshoot, and I was thrilled to capture their love and joy in every shot.
It was an honor to be a part of this wonderful couple’s wedding celebration, and I was thrilled to help them create lasting memories that they will treasure for a lifetime.

Manchester city centre wedding
As a photographer, there is nothing more magical than capturing the love and joy of a just married couple on their special day. And what better location to do so than the historic and picturesque setting of Castlefield, Manchester?
Located in the heart of Manchester, Castlefield offers a unique blend of ancient ruins, cobbled streets, and modern architecture, providing a stunning backdrop for any photoshoot.
Our recent photoshoot of Alexandra & Igor in Castlefield began at the scenic Basin, where the couple posed against historic bridges. From there, we moved to the Roman Fort, where the couple’s love was captured in front of the ancient ruins.
As we wandered through the cobbled streets, the couple held hands and beamed with joy, stopping to pose in front of the charming buildings and shops. We also made sure to incorporate the modern architecture of the area, with the couple posing against the striking glass and steel buildings.
As the sun began to set, we made our way to the Castlefield Bowl, where the couple was surrounded by the twinkling city skyline. The intimate and romantic shots taken here were the perfect way to cap off a truly magical photoshoot.
Overall, Castlefield provided the perfect setting for a just married couple’s photoshoot. The combination of ancient and modern, along with the picturesque scenery, made for stunning and unique photos that the couple will treasure for a lifetime.
Heather & Gosia at Bramhall Hall
Heather & Gosia got married at stunning Bramhall Hall near Stockport. This historic site built in the 16th century is surrounded by parkland with lakes and woodlands. This area was perfect for their wedding photo session. I only covered 3h of their beautiful wedding, but I think that was enough to create some great images along with a highlight video. I wish them all the best!

Greg & Bart at Manchester Wedding
I’ve known that couple for a long time. So it warmed my heart when Greg and Bart announced they were getting married this year and I would be their photographer for the day. They’ve been best friends for more than a decade, and now they can be even closer by legal bounds they chose to carry for the rest of their lives. I’m glad I could be part of their special day, immortalizing their memories in my captured frames.
The ceremony took place at Registry Office Manchester in Herons House followed by a party in modern Polish restaurant “Plazki” at Deansgate. They served truly delicious food presented beautifully on the platters.
This is a sneak peek into Greg and Bart wedding day.
Emma & James Wedding at Sandhole Oak Barn
It’s a pleasure to cover weddings at Sandhole Oak Barn. The venue is located at the heart of Cheshire and offers a rustic feel with great views. The ceremony location is surrounded by stunning scenery with a beautiful lake as the most exciting feature of this place. Hopefully, we will come back to this venue next year.
Emma and James finally had a chance to get married after their wedding was postponed more than once due to the world situation we had last year. It was a great feeling to be able to document their special day. The atmosphere was electric throughout the day and everyone was dancing to the tune of sing-along waiters.

Abbie & Robert at Last Drop Village Hotel
I’m excited to share a sneak peek from Abbie and Robert’s wedding. The ceremony was held at the Last Drop Village Hotel in Bolton. The hotel has an atmospheric little village on its premises that resembles a continental town in Europe. We use it as a backdrop for family photos.
We had a great time working with Abbie and Robert who we first met in October 2019 for the pre-weeding photoshoot. It was a breeze and pleasure to work with them again.
In between taking photographs we managed to capture some video clips which we then edited to the tune of their first dance song. We call it a highlight video – which shows the best moment complimenting their special day. So I hope they like it as much as we do.
The wedding highlight video is an added feature if you book the full day packed with us.
Below are some of my favourite photos and highlight video.
Beaumont Park is beautiful
When I first discovered this place in one of my family Sunday trips I knew this place will be go to for couples of family photoshoots. When Marcelina and Martin booked in their family session I've let them browse through catalog of previously visited location so they can picked one they like. I couldn't be happier when they picked Beaumont Park! It's very photogenic place with many little alleys, stony stairs and rocky backgrounds. Plenty to explore!

It’s time to start new tradition of picking best photograph for each year. For me, 2019 went faster than ever and we’re stepping into new decade. It’s been great year where we had privilege of taking pictures of great people at some beautiful venues.
