Pre-Ceremony Moments
The day began with Erika and Nitesh preparing for their ceremony surrounded by their closest friends and family. The hotel’s luxurious suites made for a comfortable and stylish setting, perfect for capturing candid moments as they got ready for their special day.
Exploring Manchester for Portraits
After the ceremony, we ventured to one of my favourite hidden portrait locations: the serene canal basin by the Bridgewater Hall. Nestled under the shade of weeping willows, this spot offered Erika and Nitesh a quiet moment away from the bustling city. It’s always a joy to photograph couples in this unique setting, where the natural surroundings create a striking contrast to the urban backdrop.
Next, we embraced the modern aesthetic with some off-camera flash portraits on the metallic staircase of The Edwardian. The sleek lines and reflective surfaces of the stairs made for dynamic and bold imagery, highlighting Erika and Nitesh’s contemporary style.
The Celebration Continues
The evening reception was a lively affair, with guests filling the dance floor well into the night. The Edwardian’s beautifully redesigned spaces, combined with a buzzing atmosphere, made it a celebration to remember. From the music to the energy of the crowd, every moment was filled with fun and laughter.
