Alex & Jon Great John Street Hotel

Hello people! Let me introduce you to Alex and Jonathan, my first bride and groom of 2010! They tied the knot at the Great John Street Hotel in Manchester.

The Great John Street Hotel is a stylish Manchester wedding venue with a modern feel.  Alex and Jon got married at 4:00 Pm and at this time the sun was beginning to set. As the venue has very atmospheric lighting this presents a great challenge for a Manchester wedding photographer. It is very dimly lit. This is one important reason to choose an experienced wedding photographer in Manchester whilst planning your wedding.

We caught up with Jon and his groomsmen before the wedding to take a few photographs. He was very relaxed as was the whole wedding which made it a really enjoyable day.

For these photographs we used some flash to add a more drama to the photo and make a fashion style photograph.

We then left the guys to relax before the wedding ceremony and went to photograph Alex.

After a few wedding portraits it was time for Alex and Jon to get married! Jon was eagerly awaiting his bride!

Jon was very emotional as Alex entered looking stunning.

Jon was in awe of his bride.

We then slipped outside to the alleyway for a few photographs.

Alex and Jon decided on a unique wedding cake. They wanted something that people would really enjoy and they certainly found it. They had a Cheesecake – but not your ordinary cheesecake! It was actually all made of Cheese. And it was really tasty! Thanks Alex and Jon for letting me and Laura have a selection of cheeses!

Finally we have a couple of wedding photographs of just Alex on the stairs at Great John Street Hotel. I had an idea that I wanted to try and I think it really worked!
