About Blue Ribbon Photos


Blue Ribbon Weddings at Discount Photography is a South Manchester based company offering affordable bespoke, tailor made quality wedding photography packages in South Manchester, Cheshire, Lancashire, the north West and surrounding areas.
Award winning photographer, Glenn Smith, allows his brides and grooms to relax and enjoy their special day with the knowledge that their precious moments are being immortalised with great photography.
The science of photography, the art of everlasting memories!

To guarantee the success of your big day, Photographer Glenn Smith is a member of the Royal Photographic Society, Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers, Society of International Commercial and Industrial Photographers and School Photo Pro.

All these organisations have strict codes of conduct and standards that have to be adhered to. Your wedding is special and you deserve the best, Blue Ribbon Weddings aims to do just that for you with Glenn's contemporary style capturing your special moments for posterity.

Your wedding deserves my total devotion. I will only book one wedding per day so I'm totally at your service.

Only the very basic package is fixed. You will receive my availibility all day, the images edited and placed on a beautiful heart shaped USB stick and your memories placed on a secure, password protected online gallery for your relatives and friends to view at their leisure.

The other package is everything else. You make your own tailor made package to suit your requirements, your budget and your imagination. This not only keeps the price down but also ensures that you get exactly what you want. You won't have to have a product or service simply because it's included in a package. I don't believe in hard sell so you'll never be pressured into buying anything you don't want!

Many of my customers consider themselves to be my friend. Most go on to book my services for other events and all will recomend me to their family and friends.

Glenn Smith took up photography as a hobby not long after he joined the RAF in 1984. He quickly progressed to the point where he took over the duties of the station photographer if he was unavailable.

Glenn set up Discount Photography and Blue Ribbon Photos in 2011. In 2012 Glenn was awarded the Bronze award in the Epson International Panoramic Photography Awards. In the same year he also became a service partner for Weddingspot. In 2014 Glenn became one of only 4 photographers to become a preferred photography supplier for the prestige venue, Davenport Hall Green in Manchester.

Having a keen sense of fairness, Glenn uses that to ensure he gives the best quality of service and products with highly competitive prices. The aim is to be the one stop shop for all your photography requirements, whether its a family wedding or event, photos for an ecommerce, school or club photos or other website or portraits of all types. Most of Glenn's customers return time after time.

Discount Photography's recent clients have included Renold UK, Lees Newsome, Camperlands Ltd, Chorlton Cheese, Royal Air Forces Association, Benchill School and Willow Park Housing Trust. Along with Manchester Airport PLC, Guide Bridge MOT, Lift Off magazine, Bespoke CC and Bahia Vista hotel Ibiza. New names are being added all the time!

Glenn was the photographer at our wedding in aug, glenn was reliable, flexible and understanding of everything we asked for. He went above and beyond to ensure we captured everything on the big day. Glenn went up to visit the venue before the day to ensure we had the best possible photo shots in the most scenic areas of the venue. We would highly recommend glenn if your looking for a wedding photographer, his prices are affordable and the service you receive is fantastic! The phots we got back were everything we wanted even capturing the little things that we had forgot to ask about.
Response : Hi Natalie & Michelle,It was a pleasure and privilege to be part of your special day! Thank you for your review!

Being somewhat camera shy, Glenn from Blue Ribbon Photo is very reassuring and professional from start to finish. The photos are stored on an electronic gallery for you to choose from the wide selection, the pictures that I chose were exceptional and I would have no hesitate in using his services again.

Glenn has done a fantastic job for our young people at a special school for social, emotional and mental health difficulties. He and his wife were so patient and understanding and willing to take risks with their equipment in their effort to engage our students who often have a very negative self image and do not like to have their photo taken. To see their smiling faces is absolutely brilliant. I used Glenn a few years back after a mum had said to me that she had school photos for all of her other children, but not the one who had been in PRUs or special schools. That really made me think and I got Glenn to take photos of our KS2 students then. His price was so reasonable that I half expected him to have gone out of business when I contacted him before this Christmas, this time for our KS2 and KS3&4 students. But for once, quality clearly has paid off, and I believe he is much in demand. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Renewal of Wedding Vows. Glenn provided a wonderful service which captured our day perfectly. He was thorough when discussing our needs, providing a Hollwood Back Drop to add a different aspect to the day and provide some fun shots. He also adapted well on the day to our request for all types of shots and provided excellent service afterwards to ensure we had the album of our choice. Very good value for money with friendly, individual service. Thanks again, Glenn.
Response : Thank you Claire & Alan! It was a pleasure to be part of your special day as you renewed your vows. I was a priviledged spectator capturing a well planned and great event!

The photos provided after our family event were beautiful and the photographer worked very hard all evening to ensure everyone there was included, so we have a full album of pictures to remember the evening and would recommend this company for your special family occasion.
Response : Thanks Liz! This event was a special day in celebration of a special, brave person! I'm glad to have taken part and I'm glad you all like the photographs!
