  • Welcome to our blog!

    We're Andy & Erika McDonald, we tied the knot in 2008 in Sunny Devon, at Bishops Court in Clyst St Mary.

    Since then, two important events have taken place, firstly McDonald Photography became just a little bit more than a hobby, but even more exciting than that we had a gorgeous baby daughter, Ava, who was born in November 2009.

    We created this blog to share some of our favourite images, stories and ideas. It's a place to come when you have a few spare moments.

    What more can we say, except we hope you enjoy our blog.

Mary and Jonathan-Manchester Wedding Photographer

Manchester wedding photographer travels over the border to Sunny Yorkshire!

June brought a lovely surprise for Manchester wedding Photographer Andy McDonald, rather than are usual trips to capture weddings across Manchester and Cheshire we traveled to Mirfield, which is between Leeds and Wakefield for a fabulous couple from Manchester of Jonathan and Mary. The celebrations started for the bride at the recently refurbished Turnpike Inn, Rishworth, where we met with Mary and her gorgeous bridesmaids to capture a few special moments as they had their hair and makeup finished before making there way to the church.

Manchester wedding photographer Andy McDonald cant resist a beautiful car and we were blessed with a fabulous Rolls Royce and the sunshine to show it off to its best.

Manchester Wedding photographer Andy McDonald has included some of his favourite wedding images from the day and wishes Jonathan and Mary all the very best for the future.

Wedding photography allows you to capture those moments that most people never get a chance to see… Its a real privilege

The bridesmaids were stunning and the cheeky robes were fantastic, sometimes the most unlikely places provide a backdrop

A few last minute tweaks to the best mans attire didn’t phase the brothers one bit with a joke or two just minutes later!!

The church in Mirfield is stunning and it was a pleasure to provide them with images for their website…

A lovely moment between brothers

I will do almost anything for a nice image, moving cars carry an element of risk, but its worth it for this type of shot…

Mary looked stunning and the perspective is gorgeous in this image…

A very proud father takes a final breath of air, before he takes his daughter down the isle.. a very precious moment for every father I’m sure

Photography was restricted in during the ceremony, however i’d been given permission to grab a few shots.

A few more of the Ceremony, with  slight tone, which i use from time to time.

A very proud husband bounces out of the church…its a great moment and i never get bored of capturing these shots.

The church grounds were very well maintained and so we had a stroll before the happy couple were swept away in the Rolls.

Until the reception??

As Manchester wedding photographer, I always feel honoured to capture those specials moments for my clients. If you have enjoyed the images from Mary and Jonathan’s wedding day and you think McDonald Photography could be the photographers to capture your Cheshire, Manchester wedding photography images then Erika and I would love to here from you.
