Natalie & Darren - An Elegant, Manchester Love-Fest at King Street Townhouse Hotel - Manchester Wedding Photographer

I see my job as one of a story-teller - embellishing details a bit, presenting an honest yet romantic depiction of the culmination or (usually) months (and sometimes years!) of planning. Natalie & Darren’s own love story has been 29 years in the making since meeting as teenagers. After eventually going their separate ways and living full lives, they grew into the people they are now, raised children and came back together ready to face the rest of their lives by each other’s side.

There is no embellishment needed in this particular love story, no gloss of extra romance, Natalie & Darren are SO SO in love and their easy, natural chemistry, their obvious delight and admiration for each other spills off of them in waves and touches the many wonderful people in their lives. A key player in their story has always been their beloved city, Manchester - most especially the vibrant music scene. So it was perfectly fitting that they chose the iconic Manchester city centre wedding venue, King Street Townhouse. With it’s breathtaking views of the city and fabulous accomodation, Natalie & Darren booked out all 40 rooms for their guests and the day felt like the most luxurious house party. They assembled a KILLER team of Manchester wedding suppliers including my friends Chloe Robinson Designs & the BEST magician around, Sam Fitton plus many many more.

What a gorgeous day we had in my very favourite city..from the very bottom of my heart, thanks so so much to the AMAZING Mr. & Mrs. Keeling for entrusting their love story to me. I had the BEST time! Here’s a bit of what we got up to…
