A Game Of Thrones Wedding In Manchester – Louise & Chris

Winter is Coming! Okay, maybe not *quite* yet – It is still only August. Louise and Chris had their wedding North of The Wall at one of my favourite Manchester city hotels King Street Townhouse and their day was beautifully captured by Nik Bryant Photography.

We met in 2008 at a mutual friends house party. We were both dating other people at the time and it wasn’t until five years later when we started talking online and then went on a date. We bonded over our mutual love of Game of thrones and the rest is history!

The venue was one of the main things that represented us as a couple – we decided to get married at King Street Townhouse in Manchester because of its quirky style and beautiful views of the city. Manchester was where we had our first date and our relationship developed. I’m from Oldham and Chris moved to Salford from America at a young age so it was important to us to tie the knot in the city that brought us together.  We chose Game of Thrones as our theme as we’re both huge fans and it’s what got us talking again after all those years. Every detail from cufflinks to the flowers was all us, there wasn’t one detail on the day that didn’t feel like us.

The most DIY we did for our wedding was design the wedding invites ourselves with the help of a very good friend. We designed them in the theme and had them drawn digitally and printed ourselves, we also had wax and seal for the envelopes. We also made wildfire shots using apple Sourz in mini vials and also had a game of thrones shot glass for each guest as favours.

I have been shooting weddings for roughly 3 years now and the ones that I fall in love with more than the others are the ones with a bit of a twist or an alternative touch.

The location used was an old abandoned power station in the North West of England. Its a location I have used for shoots for bands and things loads and have always wanted to do a bridal shoot with a bit of a twist and this was the perfect location. My wife Laura has been to the power station with me several times to assist on shoots and had always said we should shoot a rock the frock/trash the dress shoot here and I was more than happy to oblige.

At the time of the shoot we had been married roughly 18 months. It was pretty awesome to see my wife in her wedding dress and it was something special to be able to photograph her in her wedding dress. How many wedding photographers can say they have photographed their wife in her dress?
