Some venues have an aura of magic, a sense of history and grandeur that elevates a wedding to something truly extraordinary. This year, we had the honor of capturing Adam and Eleanor’s unforgettable wedding at the iconic Gorton Monastery in Manchester. Their day was a perfect blend of timeless elegance, heartfelt emotion, and modern romance—a celebration that will remain etched in everyone’s hearts.
