Your North West Wedding - December/January 2023/2024 (Issue 83)

Gothic romance The Deaf Institute was the backdrop for this alternative shoot Images courtesy of Duopix Photography The Deaf Institute was the backdrop for this alternative styled shoot. “We wanted to showcase this Grade II-listed Manchester building as it recently opened up its calendar for weddings,” says Beth Atton de Sa from ALT Events Co. “The Deaf Institute is now an internationally recognised alternative music venue that was once a school for the deaf. I really wanted to create a shoot within a city centre venue. I love old buildings with an interesting story and eclectic décor. We used jewel tones throughout the shoot, turned the contrast right down and used minimal décor to highlight the aesthetic of the building. “The shoot brought together a great collection of skills, products and people,” adds Beth. “I’ve been in business for a year as a solo alternative wedding planner with an ethic to highlight the lesser-known places, people, and ideas in the wedding industry, with a focus on the unique and outlandish.” 53 STYLED SHOOT
