Flixton House Wedding Photographer

Last update: November 2025

Real Wedding Photography at Flixton House

If you’re planning your wedding at Flixton House in Urmston, you’re probably looking for a photographer who already understands how the venue works — the flow between ceremony rooms, the conservatory and bar, and those beautifully kept secret gardens.
That’s exactly how we approach every Flixton House wedding — calm, organised and fully aligned to the venue’s timings and layout.
We’ve captured celebrations here that range from intimate daytime ceremonies to full evening receptions with a packed dance floor in the ballroom. Standout moments often include: outdoor ceremonies framed by the secret gardens, relaxed drinks on the terrace, confetti on the front steps, and golden-hour portraits on the lawns.
With 18+ years’ experience and over 200 weddings photographed across Greater Manchester and the North West, we bring structure, precision and a reassuringly calm presence to every Flixton House wedding.
As a Manchester wedding photographer, I deliver consistent, venue-aligned results across Trafford and the wider region, with Flixton House being one of the locations where that experience adds immediate value for couples
The gallery below showcases how we use the venue’s Georgian architecture, refurbished interiors and landscaped grounds to create elegant, timeless wedding photography.

Why Flixton House Works for Modern Wedding Photography
Flixton House is a Grade II listed Georgian manor set within parkland on Flixton Road in Urmston, managed by Trafford Council. Originally built in the early 19th century by the Wright family, it has been carefully refurbished to blend period features with a clean, modern finish.

Inside, you’ll find high ceilings, sash windows, fireplaces and characterful details, alongside a bright ballroom, conservatory and flexible ceremony spaces. Two rooms are licensed for civil ceremonies and partnerships, with additional options for outdoor ceremonies in the gardens.

The result is a venue that works extremely well for modern wedding photography — classic enough for editorial-style portraits, yet relaxed and intimate for natural documentary storytelling.
As a Flixton House wedding photographer, I focus on the venue’s key strengths:
● The soft, directional light in the ceremony rooms
● The ballroom and conservatory for speeches, first dance and evening coverage
● The secret gardens and lawns for confetti, group photos and couple portraits

With an experienced in-house events team, good transport links via Urmston, Flixton and the M60, plus generous parkland surroundings, Flixton House is a compelling choice for couples wanting a Manchester wedding with country-house character.

Why Couples Love Flixton House for Their Wedding Day

Georgian character and heritage: A Grade II listed manor house with period fireplaces, tall windows and original detailing — a classic backdrop for timeless images

Refurbished interiors with a modern twist: Extensively refurbished in recent years, the décor feels fresh and contemporary while still respecting the house’s history — ideal for clean, uncluttered photography.

Flexible ceremony and reception spaces: Two licensed ceremony rooms, a ballroom and conservatory offer different layout options for civil ceremonies, wedding breakfasts and evening receptions (typically 30–100 guests, depending on configuration)

Secret gardens and lawns: The “secret gardens”, rose beds and parkland-style surroundings give us a variety of locations for portraits, group photos and relaxed guest images — especially in spring and summer.

Outdoor ceremony option: In good weather, Flixton House can host outdoor ceremonies in the gardens, creating a single-flow day where everything happens on one site

Convenient Greater Manchester location: Located in Urmston with easy access from Manchester city centre, the Trafford area and the wider motorway network, guest logistics are straightforward and predictable.

In short: if you’re looking for photographs that combine real emotion with a refined yet relaxed Manchester manor house setting, Flixton House delivers.

Why Choose Cherished Images as Your Flixton House Wedding Photographer?

18+ years of wedding experience: You’re working with an established photographer who has covered weddings across Manchester, Trafford, Cheshire and the wider North West, bringing both operational reliability and creative consistency.

Venue-aware approach: Understanding how Flixton House runs — from ceremony timings and room turnarounds to when the secret gardens look their best — means we can build a realistic photography plan that fits your day rather than taking it over

Documentary storytelling, refined portraits: Our style blends candid, documentary coverage with a small number of relaxed portraits. We use the house, conservatory and gardens to create images that look natural but still feel polished and considered.

Seamless coordination with the in-house team: We liaise with the Flixton House events team ahead of your wedding, align with their schedule and keep communication clear, so everyone understands where photography fits within the day.

Tailored coverage for Flixton House: Whether you’re planning a shorter civil ceremony with a drinks reception or full-day coverage from bridal prep through to the first dance in the ballroom, we’ll shape coverage around the venue’s usual flow.

Local, trusted and prepared: Based in Greater Manchester, we’re used to working with local traffic, weather and seasonal light — and we always build in wet-weather options so you’re covered whatever the forecast.

Calm, unobtrusive presence: We aim to keep things structured without being overbearing — guiding when needed (for timings and group photos) and stepping back for the real moments.

Legacy-focused delivery: You receive carefully edited digital images with options for albums and wall art, giving you photographs designed to stand the test of time rather than trends.

Planning Your Flixton House Wedding Photography

A few practical considerations to help shape your photography plan:

Flixton House Wedding Photography – Real Moments in a Georgian Manor

Ceremony and room layout: The main ceremony rooms and ballroom are bright, characterful spaces. We’ll review your room layout, décor and seating plan in advance to position ourselves for key moments without blocking guest views.

Gardens and outdoor portraits: The secret gardens, rose beds and surrounding parkland offer multiple options for portraits. We’ll agree one or two preferred spots ahead of time and adjust on the day based on light, ground conditions and guest flow.

Wet-weather contingencies: If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we still have strong indoor options: the staircase, ceremony rooms, conservatory and entrance areas all photograph well for couple portraits and smaller group shots.

Guest logistics and timings: With everything on one site (ceremony, reception and evening), Flixton House lends itself to a smooth, contained timeline. We’ll help you build a schedule that allows enough time for confetti, group photos and couple portraits without holding up the day.

Image delivery: Full edited galleries are typically delivered within 2–4 weeks, with faster delivery options available on request for couples who’d like a preview sooner.

We’ll also arrange a pre-wedding consultation — in person or online — to walk through your priorities, timings and must-have images for Flixton House specifically.

How familiar are you with photographing weddings at Flixton House?

We have strong familiarity with the venue, its ceremony rooms, ballroom, gardens and general flow. That means we can anticipate lighting changes and key pinch points in the day rather than reacting last-minute

Where are the best portrait locations?

The secret gardens, the main lawns, the front steps, the paths around the house and the conservatory terraces all work very well. The exact spots we choose will depend on the time of year, light direction and ground conditions

Is Flixton House good for low-light or winter weddings?

Yes. The ceremony rooms benefit from good natural light in the daytime, and we supplement this with professional low-light equipment where needed for speeches, first dance and evening coverage.

What happens if it rains?

We’ll switch to indoor options — using the ceremony rooms, staircase, conservatory and entrance areas for portraits and essential group photos. We always create a wet-weather plan so you’re covered either way.

How long should we allow for group photos and couple portraits?

As a guide, we recommend:● 20–30 minutes for core group photos● 15–25 minutes for couple portraits
We’ll tailor this based on your guest numbers, whether you’re having an outdoor ceremony and what time of year you’re getting married.

Do you offer a venue walkthrough?

Yes. We offer a pre-wedding consultation and, where possible, a venue walkthrough at Flixton House or a detailed virtual planning call if an in-person visit isn’t practical.
