Planning Your Flixton House Wedding Photography
If you’re planning your day at Flixton House, you likely want a photographer who understands the unique rhythm of this venue—from the soft light in the ceremony rooms to the 'hidden' corners of the secret gardens.
Being based right here in Urmston, I’ve documented countless celebrations at this historic manor. My approach is simple: I stay aligned with the venue’s flow so you can stay present with your guests. Whether it’s an outdoor ceremony on the lawn, confetti on the front steps, or a packed dance floor in the ballroom, I focus on the honest, unscripted moments that make your day yours.
With nearly 20 years of experience as a Trafford wedding photographer, I bring a calm, organized presence to the day. I know exactly how the light hits the gardens at golden hour and how to navigate the house's Georgian architecture to create timeless images without the need for forced posing.
The gallery below features real moments from recent weddings at Flixton House—elegant, relaxed, and entirely authentic.
Spotlight: Alex & Richard at Flixton House
Alex and Richard’s wedding was a perfect example of why I love documenting stories in Trafford. They’re an outgoing couple who wanted an intimate, meaningful day without the pressure of a big production.
The ceremony took place in the ballroom—formal in style but completely relaxed in atmosphere. It was one of those days where you could feel the connection between the families in every quiet glance.
Once the ceremony ended, we took advantage of a rare sunny afternoon in the Flixton House gardens. Under the shade of the old trees, Alex and Richard eased naturally into their portraits. Because they trusted my documentary approach, there was no forced posing—just genuine personality and the warm, golden-hour light that this venue is known for.
It meant a lot to hear that they originally booked me after finding my local Trafford advice guides helpful. That trust allowed the day to unfold naturally, resulting in a gallery that is authentically them.
