REAL WEDDINGS
I can’t tell you how amazed we are with all the photos. They are so beautiful! I love the ones of my little grandpa too, very special to have those.
Micro Weddings + Elopements
If you’re looking to “get the legal stuff” done and have a humanist wedding celebration on your wedding day then the registry office is a perfect option. You can take a handful of your friends and your closest family members and have a beautifully intimate wedding.
The best part to this is that no one will ever know! You can have a quick legal ceremony and then a gorgeous meal or drinks with your immediate family and friends. Then on your wedding day have a more personal humanist ceremony that’s more unique to you as a couple.
Having a separate legal ceremony also gives you more options on the location of your ceremony on your wedding day. You can get married and have your wedding ceremony without any restrictions.
Alternatively if you’re looking to stay out of the spotlight completely and it’s more about the two of you tying the knot, why not! I love it when couples do what’s right for them. Weddings are a unique celebration of two people. Do what’s right for you!
Wedding Photographs at Manchester Registry Office
The Pankhurst Suite at Manchester Registry Office is nice which is perfect for natural wedding photographs during your wedding ceremony.
The advantage of getting married in Manchester City centre is that you can have endless options for your wedding photographs after your wedding ceremony. If you like the architecture of the city we can go to Albert Square with the Town Hall as a backdrop or to the Central Library with is a favourite spot of mine. If you’d like something a little more unique there’s Ancoats, the Northern Quarter and Castlefield within minutes walk away.
