A Great John Street Hotel Winter Wonderland

Late last year I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Jordan and Thomas’s Great John Street Hotel wedding in Manchester city centre. Part of the Eclectic Hotels collection, this super-funky Victorian era school house is one of my favourite wedding venues.

Located near to the old filming site of Coronation Street, the staff are always superb, really friendly and attentive. I recently took my mum and dad for afternoon tea on the roof-top terrace and they loved it. Make sure you check it out!

Jordan & Thomas’s Great John Street Hotel Wedding in Manchester City Centre

December weddings are more popular than ever. I personally photographed seven last year making it one of my busiest months of the season; and with Jordan being a self-confessed Christmasaholic (is that even a word? It is now!), this was the only time of the year for her wedding to Thomas.

Grab a brew and enjoy some of the highlights from a truly fantastic day.
