A Night of Glamour: Gala Dinner Event Photography by ER Event Photography

If there’s one thing we know how to do at ER Event Photography, it’s capturing the kind of moments that make people say, “Ooooh, I remember that night!” And the 2024 Gala Dinner? Let’s just say it was one of those nights where everyone brought their A-game, both in sparkle and spirit.

Held at one of Manchester’s most iconic venues (you know the kind grand staircase, chandeliers you’d like to swing from but absolutely shouldn’t), the evening was a blend of elegance and celebration. Guests arrived in black tie and gowns, gliding across the red carpet like seasoned pros. We were there, cameras ready, catching those “just arrived” smiles and the cheeky glances that say, “Do I look amazing or do I look amazing?”

Lights, Camera, Champagne

As photographers, we have a bit of a sixth sense for where the fun is brewing and spoiler alert it’s usually near the champagne. We floated through the mingling, quietly capturing laughter during canapé chatter and the kind of hugs that come with years of friendship (or several glasses of bubbly).

The dinner itself was a masterclass in elegance. Candlelit tables, sparkling glassware, and a menu that deserved its own photoshoot (yes, we got those too). Speeches followed some heartfelt, some hilarious, all worth remembering and we made sure every reaction, applause, and heartfelt tear was documented with care.

Dancefloor Diaries

What starts as a formal affair always ends in someone doing The Worm, right? OK maybe not that wild, but when the band kicked in, the heels came off and the dancefloor turned into a joyful blur. And yes, we were there for every twirl, every fist-pump, every one of those “I’m not even drunk!” selfies.

Why We Love Gala Dinners

There’s something special about these evenings when people step out of the everyday and into a night that feels like a movie premiere. We get to capture the glitz, but also the genuine human stuff: the warmth, the reunions, the moments that matter. That’s our jam at ER Event Photography.

So if you’re planning a gala, a dinner, or any kind of “let’s dress up and celebrate” event give us a shout. We’d love to be your memory makers.
