About Great John Street as a wedding venue
Great John Street is a wedding venue in Greater Manchester. I’ve photographed at venues across Greater Manchester and the wider North West, and each one has its own character that shapes the photography on the day.
Photographing weddings at Great John Street
When I’m working at a venue like Great John Street, I look first at the light — where the windows face, where the sun will sit during ceremony and portraits — and second at the spaces that lend themselves to natural moments. Documentary wedding photography is about being in the right place at the right second, and that varies venue by venue.
What I notice when I shoot here
The Great John Street hotel is very close to one of the most exclusive shopping areas in Manchester. They have plenty of restaurants, theaters and some hotels as well so if you want to get married without feeling too far away from all of the city fun then this is a great choice for you. This hotel used to be a Victorian school house but ever since then, it has been transformed with stylish lounges, an Oyster bar and a rooftop lounge. You can hire out as many rooms as you want and the staff members there are very accommodating to your every need as well. This is just one of the many benefits you get when you book your wedding with them and they are always happy to help if you have any questions or queries.
I have worked with the Great John Street hotel in the past and I have photographed plenty of different weddings there in the past as well. The team are always making things as easy as possible for the happy couple and there is plenty of room for everyone to get a good photo as well. If you do want to book a wedding with the Great John St hotel then all you need to do is give them a call today. They can help you with your booking and the overall payment so you won’t have any issues there. If you want to see what the hotel is like in general before you book however, then please feel free to take a quick look at the many photos I have of the Great John St hotel. I have so many wedding photos and this is designed to give you a good idea of what the venue looks like and what it has to offer.
