Highlights from Parisa & Peter’s wedding elopement in Manchester

“You captured our day perfectly. The pictures are beautiful. Your taxi cab package was perfect for us. We loved being picked up, taking pictures beginning at our apartment, beautiful places around the city and the church…”

Elopement Photographer Manchester

Peter hails from the US and contacted me about photographing his and Parisa’s wedding at The Church of St Cross in Manchester recently. A very intimate wedding it proved to be - technically an elopement with just Peter’s daughter from the US and a few church parishioners. I met the couple for the first time at their apartment in DUET at Salford Quays, and got to work straight away. The plan was to photograph the couples photos first, then travel across town to the church ceremony. Unique for this Elopement Photographer Manchester. After a few photos inside to ‘warm them up’, we were off to St John’s Gardens and Ancoats in Manchester, stopping first for an impromptu photo next to the signage. Well, when in Rome…let’s duet…

Manchester Taxi Tours

On duty with me as an Elopement Photographer Manchester, was my good friend John Consterdine from Manchester Taxi Tours. Peter had booked our Taxi Elopement Package for their wedding in late November. John and I collaborate on this unique elopement package in Manchester - probably the only people providing it! John and I work together several times a year with my being an Elopement Photographer Manchester. Our Taxi package proves very popluar with smaller weddings and couples eloping. We have a few booked in for 2026 already!

Rich TV Wedding Video

Working with us for the church ceremony and reception was my old friend (and Media Stalwart!) Dave Richardson from Rich Video in Stockport. Dave offers full service video production, live streaming, plus drone footage for any event. Dave is very busy, being so talented! As an Elopement Photographer Manchester, it was great not having to concern myself with video as it was all taken care of while I concentrated on shooting the stills. Great to see you again Dave!

Manchester Wedding Photographer Mick Cookson

I am an experienced Manchester Wedding Photographer, as you can see here . I love working in Manchester, and photographing my couples in and around the city, using the environment as creative backgrounds, shooting live and unstaged among the people. As an Elopement Photographer Manchester, I relished the short time we spent together, creating some lovely images and memories for my clients.

Here’s some of my favourite photos from the day…
