Abbie & Stephen - A Very Pink Stockport Town Hall Wedding - Stockport Town Hall Wedding Photography
“Do you still remember: falling stars,
how they leapt slantwise through the sky
like horses over suddenly held-out hurdles
of our wishes—did we have so many?—
for stars, innumerable, leapt everywhere;
almost every gaze upward became
wedded to the swift hazard of their play,
and our heart felt like a single thing
beneath that vast disintegration of their brilliance—
and was whole, as if it would survive them! ”
Yesterday, I had the immense pleasure of photographing Abbie and Stephen's wedding at the stunning Stockport Town Hall. This venue, renowned for its architectural beauty and iconic status, was a perfect backdrop for such a joyous occasion. The couple specifically chose this historic building due to its grandeur, and it did not disappoint.
The ceremony took place at the base of the magnificent marble staircase, setting the scene for what would be an unforgettable day. With just under 40 of their nearest and dearest present, the intimate gathering was made even more special by the presence of Abbie and Stephen's adorable daughters, Edith and Eliza. The two little girls added a touch of familial love and warmth, their excitement palpable throughout the ceremony.
Capturing these moments was a delight. There was a glow in the room, not just from the soft autumn sunlight streaming through the town hall's grand windows, but from the love and happiness emanating from everyone present. As Abbie and Stephen exchanged their vows, there was not a dry eye in the house. It was a beautiful reminder of how powerful and moving these life milestones are.
After the ceremony, a champagne reception allowed everyone to mingle, offering many candid photo opportunities. Laughter echoed through the halls as glasses clinked in celebration of Abbie and Stephen's union.
Before the festivities concluded, we seized the opportunity to take some photographs in the grand ballroom. Its opulent decor provided an excellent contrast to the relaxed and joyful demeanor of the newlyweds. The couple looked euphoric, surrounded by the vast space and timeless elegance of the room—moments that will undoubtedly become cherished memories.
The day wrapped up with a spectacular exit; the couple was showered in pink confetti, tossed lovingly by their friends and family. In that moment, the air was filled with joy and celebration—a fitting end to an incredible wedding at Stockport Town Hall.
Photographing Abbie and Stephen's special day was an absolute privilege, and I am so grateful to have been part of it, capturing memories that I hope they will treasure forever.
