The University of Manchester

About The University of Manchester as a wedding venue

The University of Manchester is a heritage or civic wedding venue in Greater Manchester. Venues like this were typically designed for ceremony or display rather than weddings specifically, which often translates to more distinctive backdrops than purpose-built wedding spaces — for tours and booking enquiries see www.conference.manchester.ac.uk.

Photographing weddings at The University of Manchester

Heritage venues challenge a photographer in a good way — the lighting is rarely ‘wedding-optimised’, so I work with available light and the existing architecture to bring out what makes the space unique. Smaller civic ceremonies often run on tighter schedules, so I plan the must-have shots in advance with the couple.
