Event Photographer Manchester

Corporate, Conference & Awards Event Photography

If you’re looking for an experienced event photographer in Manchester, I provide professional photography for corporate events, conferences, awards evenings and business gatherings across Greater Manchester and the North West.

I work with organisations and agencies who want a photographer they can trust to understand the brief, work discreetly, and deliver strong, professional imagery they can confidently use for marketing, PR, and internal communications.

Why Work With Matthew Jones

Event photography requires more than technical competence. It requires awareness, timing and an understanding of how professionally managed events operate. My my photographic style is authentic, natural and candid. I include ensure organisation branding is clearly visible, often include legible presenter key slides to show content and emphasise industry relevance.

My approach is contentious and unobtrusive and ensuring key moments are captured with clarity and consistency. I specialise in low-light environments using selective flash, working with professional full-frame cameras, silent shutters, and carefully controlled lighting.

The result is a refined visual record of your event and imagery that reflects professionalism, energy, and references your brand, sponsors and within the various elements that make a successful event.

Manchester Event Photography

Manchester hosts a wide range of professionally managed corporate events, from large conferences and industry forums to awards evenings and leadership gatherings. I regularly photograph events across the city and surrounding areas, working with organisations who want a photographer that understands what’s required and can be relied on to deliver without fuss.

Events in Manchester often involve busy schedules, multiple speakers, production teams, and senior stakeholders. My role is to work calmly within that environment, anticipating key moments, capturing them cleanly, and staying out of the way while the event runs as planned.

The photography I deliver is polished, professional, and easy to use — imagery that reflects well on the organisation, looks credible to those who attended, and makes a strong impression on those who didn’t. It’s the kind of coverage clients feel confident sharing internally, externally, and upwards.

Delivering effective event photography means understanding structure: speaker sequencing, sponsor visibility, audience engagement, and brand positioning.

I work with in house teams and agencies delivering corporate events who value dependable coverage and clear communication. Photography is planned around the flow of the event, ensuring essential moments are captured efficiently while maintaining a low profile on site.

Images are edited with consistency and purpose, producing a cohesive set suitable for:

  • Corporate communications
  • Press and media release
  • Social and digital marketing
  • Internal reporting and stakeholder updates

A curated preview selection is delivered the following morning (or same day if required), with the full gallery typically supplied within 48 hours via a secure online link.


Conference Photography in Manchester

Conferences represent a significant investment of time, budget, and planning. Professional photography ensures that value continues long after the event itself.

I work with organisations delivering conferences of all sizes, producing high quality imagery that reflects the quality and scale of the event. Coverage is structured, discreet, and informed by a clear understanding of staging, lighting, and audience dynamics.

From large scale conferences for national brands to leadership forums and industry events in Manchester, I focus on:

  • Clear, professional coverage of speakers
  • Accurate representation of sponsor branding
  • Audience engagement and interaction
  • The atmosphere and scale of the conference

Whether your event is held at Manchester Central, The Lowry, or The Midland Hotel Manchester, coverage is planned around the schedule to ensure key moments are captured without disruption.

Images are delivered ready for press, social media, websites, and internal communications.


Awards Evenings, Corporate & Networking Events

I regularly photograph awards evenings, corporate dinners, networking events, and business celebrations across Manchester and the surrounding region.

For clients hosting both a daytime conference and an evening awards or celebration event, a combined booking rate is available.

My focus is on capturing genuine interaction — the conversations, connections, and moments that define a successful event — while ensuring the photography remains appropriate for professional and brand-led use.

Clients value reliability as much as creativity. I work with contingency in mind and operate to professional standards throughout.
