Commercial & Event Photographer in Manchester
Manchester runs on business: media, tech, finance, sport and the events that bring them all together. When one of those events matters, you want a photographer who reads the room as well as the camera. Half days from £650 + VAT, full days from £1,200 + VAT and two-hour mini sessions from £350 + VAT, with commercial usage included.
I’m Chris Whittam, an award-winning corporate and event photographer working across Manchester and the North of England. I’ve been trusted by some of the country’s biggest names, including WWE, Hilton, Domino’s, Battersea Dogs & Cats Home and the UK Space Agency. Based in West Yorkshire and covering the North West, I bring big-brand experience to Manchester events, with travel included across the North of England.
Corporate and event photography across Manchester
Whether it’s a conference at Manchester Central, an awards dinner at the Midland or a brand launch in the Northern Quarter, I capture the moments that make your business look its best: conferences, awards evenings, brand activations, team headshots and commercial content, all delivered to a brief. Recent Manchester work includes a law firm’s property networking evening at Pitch in the city centre, brand and team photography at the same firm’s Manchester office, and agency work for a national restaurant brand, and December is already booking, with a company’s twentieth-anniversary party at Hallé St Peter’s in the diary.
Why Manchester businesses choose me
I know how to work a venue and a room, from the big conference halls to the bars and hotels across the city, so I arrive ready rather than finding my feet. Every booking is built around what your business actually needs: next-day turnaround available for your social and PR, the full edited gallery ready to publish, and full commercial usage rights as standard. You can see my photography pricing in full, with no hidden extras.
Event photographer for Manchester conferences, awards and launches
From a 300-guest awards night to an intimate boardroom session, I’ve covered events of every size. Three-time Yorkshire Prestige Award winner and Wakefield Digital & Creative Business of the Year 2025, rated 4.9 on Google and a 100% recommendation rate on Bark.
Photographer teams for larger events
For conferences, awards evenings and multi-room events, one camera is not enough. I field photographer teams, project managed end to end: one point of contact, one consistent editing style across every camera, one invoice. Team dress codes, risk assessments and method statements are handled as standard. I have delivered team coverage for national brands including Domino’s, and I work white label for agencies. I can also organise video alongside the photography: my video team is led by a producer with a Masters degree in Media Production, so one booking and one point of contact covers stills and film. Teams are priced per brief, so tell me about the event and I will build the cover it needs. Read the Domino’s awards case study. December is booked early: Christmas party photography in Manchester starts from £650 plus VAT for up to four hours.
