Wedding Photography at Sale Town Hall | Rachel & Matthew
An absolutely magical outpouring of love at the historic canal side Sale Town Hall.
Sale Town Hall played host to the nuptials of Rachel and Matthew, on a day bursting with joy. And I was honoured to be appointed as the wedding photographer for their special day.
Sale Town Hall sits at the side of the Bridgewater Canal which runs through the centre of Sale
Being from Sale myself, and having been the appointed wedding photographer at Sale Town Hall multiple times, I know the layout of the town hall and Sale very well. As the day began all fingers were crossed though that the rain which was forecasted throughout the day would abate for just a while. But when Matthew arrived it was still coming down. Surely on such an occasion, even in Greater Manchester, the rain would stop and the sun would shine on this beautiful wedding?
Despite the clouds 'hanging around' the weather in Sale for this beautiful day took a turn for the better
Yes it would! Just as the guests started to arrived, the rain abated and through some glimmers of blue sky in the clouds the sun shone down on Sale Town Hall.
The ceremony was one full of love and joy, laughter and tears. Beautiful music choices and happy faces of friends and family were the magical backdrop to the occassion.
Matthew & Rachels happiness was plain to see throughout the proceedings. Stolen glances at each other prompted the hugest of smiles each time.
Real people, real moments. A stolen glance full of love.
It was now official! Matthew and Rachel were husband and wife…..and there was no holding the guests back, eveyone wished their bride and groom the biggest of CONGRATULATIONS!
It's official! the magical first kiss.
After the wedding ceremony, Matthew and Rachels family and friends all gathered at the fron of Sale Town Hall, armed with handfuls of confetti, ready to greet their newly married couple.
Did you know that the word confetti comes from the Italian word ‘confettare’? This translates as candy in Italian and that’s where the tradition of throwing confetti comes from.
Back in the middle ages, locals would line the streets of Italian villages to throw sweets for newlyweds. In sunny Sale town in modern day England, it’s biodegradable paper, but is still just as fun.

A fabulous afternoon but the wedding day celebrations were far from over for Matthew, Rachel and all their guests as they headed to their wedding reception for the celebrations to continue long into the night.
Wishing Matthew and Rachel All The Very Best
