Manchester Hall Wedding: Emma + Sam's Black-tie Winter Wedding at Manchester Hall


How could I ever forget the most iconic and breathtaking black-tie wedding of 2024? Emma and Sam’s Wedding celebration at Manchester Hall was nothing short of perfection.


Manchester Hall is easily my favourite wedding venue in Manchester as a photographer. This stunning space seamlessly combines historic charm with modern elegance, making it an insane choice for weddings. In the heart of Manchester, the venue features high ceilings, intricate architectural details, and exquisite décor.



In the morning while my second photographer captured Sam’s groom prep with his groomsmen at a nearby hotel (read more about second photographers here), I focused on Emma in the Elizabeth Gaskell Bridal Suite. Surrounded by her closest friends and family, she prepared for her big day in timeless style. Emma’s dress, Florentina  by  Watters, perfectly embodied the black-tie theme with its shimmering details, which sparkled beautifully in the flash photography.


Emma walked down the aisle with her father, and Sam was overcome with happy tears—which I loved to see. After the ceremony, the couple were showered with white confetti as they walked back down the aisle.


The day continued with cocktails, heartfelt speeches, and the cutting of a three-tiered black-tie cake. It was a day filled with love, elegance, and unforgettable moments, thank you again Emma and Sam for choosing me to photograph this beautiful wedding. 


A message from the couple: 


"Liv is amazing! We booked Liv for our wedding after finding her through Instagram. Not only is she a lovely person who immediately put us at ease, but she is incredibly professional and really sought to understand our vision, who we are as a couple, and how comfortable we are in front of the camera. Liv also did a pre-wedding photoshoot for us, which I can't recommend enough - it meant we were so comfortable on the wedding day itself. Liv organised a 'second shooter' on the wedding day, so we had extra photos. Every single photo we have is stunning - the way Liv works with natural light (even in the big old building we got married in!) is incredible. We cannot thank Liv enough for the photos and memories she has given us - simply amazing!"
