Angie & Adam were married at Manchester Art Gallery, a fitting venue as the bride went to Manchester Metropolitan University to study art where she met her future husband. Angie wore a bespoke purple dress made for her by a friend who works in a theatre wardrobe department (currently with We Will Rock You!) They designed it together so Angie got just what she wanted.
The couple chose not to have bridesmaids or groomsmen. They entered their ceremony together. “We wanted to start as we mean to go on – together,” they explained. “We walked down the aisle holding hands and remained holding hands through the service. Also Angie’s a bit of a feminist and didn’t want to be given away.”
The reception had Mexican/Day of the Dead Festival theme. They continued, “We wanted a colourful festival feel that would make the day fun for all our guests. Also, we’re both creative people who like to get our hands dirty – so making the decorations was a must for us! Angie’s final exhibition for her art degree was also based around Mexican folk art and the day of the dead festival.”
Thank you to Angie & Adam and their photographers Foley Photography for sharing these today.
PS Angie has the best hair I’ve seen in a loooong time. Agreed?

Congratulations to Angie and Adam! These photos by Foley Photography are just stunning and have captured the essence of the day perfectly – my personal favourites are the close ups of the sugar skulls 🙂 The colours are lovely! (you see, I’m not so Twee all the time!!)
Clearly an indivdual event exactly as the couple wished it to be. Such a happy event, but relaxed too – not easy to achieve at weddings with so much pressure to get it right. Foley Photography you have captured such natural images with poise and composition that really gives you insight and the flavour of the day. The detail is exquisite, the portraits are priceless.
Interesting lively themes & they look to be having a great day.Photography is spectacular!
