Ania & Rich, your sneak peek is ready.

Thursday was absolutely magic. I loved capturing every single moment, from the beautiful service at the breathtaking St Mary’s Catholic Church (Manchester’s Hidden Gem) to exploring Albert Square and Library Walk with these two.

Manchester always delivers the perfect backdrops for honest, unposed moments, and Ania and Rich made it so easy. No awkward posing, no forced smiles, just pure joy and the excitement of being married.

Here is a little preview of what we captured. Congratulations, you two!

What an incredible journey it has been photographing Urmston Musical Theatre's production of Disney's The Little Mermaid JR. 🧜‍♀️✨

As the curtain falls on another fantastic production, I just wanted to say a huge congratulations to everyone involved. From the talented cast to the dedicated production team, backstage crew, chaperones, volunteers, and everyone who worked tirelessly behind the scenes, you've created something truly special.

The costumes, scenery, lighting, sound, and performances came together beautifully to bring the magic of Atlantica to life. Every scene was bursting with energy, colour, and imagination, and it has been a privilege to capture so many wonderful moments throughout the show.

Thank you to Urmston Musical Theatre for continuing to inspire audiences and nurture young talent within our community. It has been an absolute pleasure for Cherished Images to photograph another memorable production, and I can't wait to see what you bring to the stage next.

A Classic Celebration: Jenna & Nathan at Oaklands Hall

This summer is flying by! On the 6th of June, I documented Jenna and Nathan’s beautiful and heartfelt wedding at the historic Oaklands Hall Hotel in Hyde.

The day was a celebration of timeless elegance. Oaklands provided a fantastic, historic backdrop that perfectly complemented Jenna and Nathan's classic wedding styling, which featured a stunning cascade of pink and white roses. My goal was to capture all the joy and quiet grace of their traditional ceremony and reception.

Working with such a wonderful couple in a venue so rich with character is always a pleasure. Congratulations to Jenna and Nathan. Here is a selection of images that capture the spirit of their classic day.

Kirsty & Anthony | 23 May 2026

What a fantastic day celebrating with Kirsty & Anthony as they tied the knot at Trafford Town Hall before continuing the celebrations at Davyhulme Park Golf Club.

From the moment they said "I do" to the laughter, hugs, and happy moments shared with family and friends throughout the day, it was a real privilege to capture their wedding story. These are the moments that make wedding photography so rewarding – genuine emotions, natural smiles, and memories that will be treasured for years to come.

Thank you both for allowing me to be part of such a special occasion. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness together.

A few sneak peeks from their beautiful day.

Just Married: Lucy & Adam

We could not have asked for a better day for Lucy and Adam’s wedding on the 22nd of May. They celebrated their marriage at Albert’s Standish, and it was a truly beautiful late spring day.

The sun was out all afternoon, providing the perfect warm backdrop for their celebrations. It was an absolute pleasure to blend into the background and capture all the laughter, the sunshine, and the genuine, unscripted moments between them and their guests. Albert’s looked fantastic, and the relaxed atmosphere made for some incredible documentary-style frames.

I am busy working on their full gallery at the moment, but I wanted to share a little sneak peek of the new Mr and Mrs Atherton.

Huge congratulations to Lucy and Adam. It was an honour to document your day.

Just Married: Chris & Rachel

What an incredible day this was. On the 16th of May, Chris and Rachel tied the knot, and it was an absolute joy to be there to capture it all.

The day started locally at St Clement's Church right here in Urmston for a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony. After they made it official, everyone headed into the city centre for a brilliant reception at the spectacular Albert Halls in Manchester. The architecture there is always stunning, but it looked even better filled with all their family, friends, and so much laughter.

From the quiet, emotional moments at the church to the lively celebrations in town, it was the perfect reflection of them as a couple: relaxed, genuine, and completely happy.

I am currently working through the full gallery, but I couldn't resist sharing a little sneak peek from their day.

Congratulations to the new Mr and Mrs Haslam!

Capturing Love in the Heart of Manchester: Chris & Rachel

There is something special about Manchester city centre. It has a brilliant mix of industrial grit, grand architecture, and quiet hidden corners, which makes it a fantastic backdrop for a pre-wedding shoot.

Earlier this month, I spent a great afternoon exploring the city with Chris and Rachel for their engagement session. We started out around the iconic ironwork and historic canals of Castlefield. It was great to just wander around and capture those relaxed, unscripted moments that happen when a couple is just enjoying being together.

From there, we headed over to the stunning arches near Albert Square, where the classic stone architecture framed their story perfectly.

Pre-wedding shoots are always a favourite of mine. There is no timeline and no rush. It is just a chance to hang out, get used to being in front of the lens, and capture some genuine, documentary-style moments before the wedding day itself.

Here are a few of my favourite frames from our afternoon in town.
