Chris Hanley Photography Ltd
A little bit about the REAL US. Sitting comfortably? Then we shall begin.
We are parents.
We are married to each other.
We have 4 children named No1 to No4.
Fit and healthy with an active lifestyle.
Chris' physique playfully fluctuates with the seasons and seasonings.
We have a great sense of humour, bordering on the wicked side,
We like nice things.(Trifle, Skin on Rice Pudding, Champagne, Olives, good roast potatoes, France and Italy, Ullapool, cricket, Man City, Pink Martini, Peroni's at 6pm, laithwaites wine, picking at cold roast chicken, saag aloo, Paul Heatcote, Peter Kay, ribeye steak, tarragon to name but a few)
I like the phrase Doppio Machiato. I learnt it in Tuscany.
I believe anwering machine messages should be informative and varied, you can listen to ours if you like.
I could quite easily cry at films like cinema paradisio, il postino and Toy Story 3.
We love being inspired, and we love inspiring.
Chris likes to work without a budget and as much free reign as he can get away with, Claire's attention to detail, quest for perfection and customer service and business acumen ensures that he doesn't :)
Chris is seldom serious for more than 10 minutes and his accents change like the wind.
Chris also gets very excited when the light is just right...its a photographer thing!
Claire is lovely and beautiful and kind BUT talks a lot (do not encourage her). Seriously, you've been warned.
We invest in continuous training and development to keep our photography relevant and modern.
We are passionate and enthusiastic about what we do for the people we meet, we are constantly thinking about our clients. Well OK, maybe not constantly, but quite a lot everyday.
We don’t try to sell our work, it sells itself.
Making pictures makes us happy.
WHERE ARE WE? (Not that it really matters):
We are based in South Manchester, giving us the advantages of a close motorway network and international airport.
We work throughout the UK and internationally
Our business postal address: 2 Wellfield Road, Stockport, Cheshire, SK2 6AS.
Our telephone number: +44 (0)161-487-1217 with informative and varying messages.
Our i-phone is 07590533124
Our e-mail address: chrishanleyphotos@mac.com
We are a limited company, they even gave us a number 07889078
They gave us a VAT registration number too 987196552
and finally congratulations on getting this far, here are a few bragging rights :)
A full time professional photographer lucky enough to have 30yrs experience photographing most things (you'll be surprised whats on that list including some gross stuff)
Listed as one of the UK's top ten wedding photographers, and with Queensberry albums using Chris' images for their international marketing, it makes me an industry acclaimed photographer (must put on an oversized pair of glasses, grow a beard, put out some bunting and scoff a cupcake then say awesome when I've eaten it)
Chris Hanley is widely acclaimed (never narrowly acclaimed) in the industry for his photography, its style and look. He is an innovator and pioneer of fusion wedding fashion photography (ooooh). Claire Hanley is renowned for her dedication to her Brides. Together they invented Cherish the Dress, a genre of high class fashion photography for brides and fashion divas :) You won't believe how popular we are in Brazil. We kid you not.
Chris does training and lectures. Guess that makes me a Teacher then.
OK you must be bored by now....go to another page. Bye!
