I’m a regular Didsbury House Hotel wedding photographer. It’s a pleasure to share another wedding from this gorgeous Manchester wedding venue. It’s the turn of Abs’ & Mike this time… They held a gloriously relaxed garden party wedding at Didsbury House Hotel last summer.
You might remember Abs’ & Mike from their Castlefield Engagement Shoot. I shot their engagement shoot pre-pandemic (when going for a pale ale afterwards was the norm!) Fast forward 18 months (and a few postponements later…) and Abs & Mike were finally at their wedding day – hooray!! As with many weddings last year, after all the waiting the big day itself was all the sweeter. Jo Gendle and I had a cracking time capturing all the fun.

Abs & Mike chose a celebrant-led ceremony for their wedding, which was expertly conducted by Celebrant SJ. SJ made the couple’s ceremony really personal, with a beautiful reading by Abs. As well as being Mike & Ab’s wedding day, it also happened to be Abs’ birthday… so the groomsmen surprised Abs with a doughnut + candle and we all sang happy birthday as the happy couple were signing the register!
Mike & Abs’ chose to keep their wedding small and intimate, with everyone staying at Didsbury House to enjoy the festivities. After the ceremony was done, the guests headed to 11 Didsbury Park for lawn games and drinks before an informal BBQ. Jo and I took Abs and Mike for some portraits in Fletcher Moss – an absolute must for all Didsbury House Hotel weddings!
Congratulations Abs & Mike – you did it!
