I am looking forward to shooting two weddings in Manchester Town Hall this year. Manchester Town Hall is a fantastic neo-gothic building which really adds something special to a wedding day and wedding photos. Manchester Town Hall is a location that holds a special meaning for me. I got married in the Lord Mayor's Parlour and I have overseen numerous Film and TV productions at the Town Hall during my time running the Manchester Film Office.

One thing a wedding photographer can usually be assured of is NO flash or artificial light during a wedding ceremony. Churches are inherently though dark beings. The older and more connected with history they are the murkier the interior tends to be. This is thanks to stone walls, narrow windows and the unforgiving English weather. So it is always a delight to come across a church that glows with light from the moment you enter. One such church is, Our Lady of Perpetual Succour in Bulwell, Nottingham.

Whilst up at St Marys Church in Rostherne, Cheshire on a location recce, taking shots in the church to best decide upon my lens needs I came across this amasing sepulcra. A single silent angel watches over a sleeping girl. Is the Angel protecting the girl, threatening her or merely curious about the latest mortal to enter the Heavens? You decide.
