Lets move onto the wedding which was at Manchester Town Hall. As ever Manchester Town Hall was a slendid venue and even more striking decked out in Christmas decorations and winter wedding colours. For me a beautiful final touch was the use of candles on tall candlelarbra which ment that I could shoot through these to amazing effect. Ben and Catherine make a wonderful couple.

It has been a busy 10 days, but as promised in Part 1, it's time to catch up with Catherine as she prepares for her big day at Manchester Town Hall. Catherine has a fantastic wedding dress. An elegant 1930's design totally at home in an art deco city such as Paris or Rome. It is one of the most stylish dresses I have seen and Catherine looks terrific. Don't take my word for it, see for yourself.

I photographed a beautiful Christmas wedding at two of Manchester city centres most stunning locations, the Town Hall and the Midland Hotel. In part 1 I'd like to open with the shots of the beautiful bride, Catherine getting ready for her big day. I hope you enjoy the wedding photos.
