I recently had the pleasure of covering Ailsa & Adrian’s beautiful wedding at The Monastery in Manchester.
Ailsa & Adrian are one of the nicest couples you could meet and I am so pleased that they had the perfect day that they deserved. The whole day was really so relaxed and fun and everybody had a great time. The only slight hiccup was when Ailsa & Adrian tried releasing some Chinese lanterns shortly after their first dance, but no fire engines were needed so it was all fine 😉
This was the first wedding I had covered at The Manchester Monastery in Gorton and wow, what a venue!! The Monastery is truly stunning, the main hall itself just takes your breath away as soon as you walk in, it really is amazing. The great thing about is that as the time moves on and the natural light starts to fade, it looks different again. I just hope I am lucky enough to photograph more weddings at The Monastery in the future!
To Ailsa & Adrian – thank you again for asking me to be your wedding photographer. Be able to photograph your special day for you was a pleasure. You are a fantastic couple and I wish you both lots of luck and happiness for your future together 🙂
Here are a few of my favourite photographs from your wedding:

Wow Neil – fabulous work. What a great setting. Great use of super wide and tilt shift. Absolutely brilliant. Ant that last shot is amazing.
I’m running out of things to say about your work Neil. It’s consistently excellent. You get great shots of everything, and I’m envious of your lighting. Well done – again!
Really fresh images Neil, beautiful beautiful beautiful.
And those tilt-shift wedding breakfast shots rock my world. “Wel-jel” as them there folk in Essex would say. ;o)
Neil, this is an amazing set and I so love the monastery now it is alive and kicking again. I left the area a few years ago now, but last time I visited, the place was falling apart and looking so unloved. Your photographs have captured love here in all its guises, in the building and in the couple, I bet they are absolutely thrilled. I would be.
Loving the way you capture natural emotion, makes for a very beautiful set of photos. I have to say the colors where they got married must be one of the most unique locations I’ve ever before seen. Great work!
