CREATIVE. COOL. FUCKING ICONIC.

If you’re looking for wedding inspo that screams personality, colour, and pure “we do what the hell we want” energy—then Anna + Phil’s dream wedding at Ducie Street Warehouse in Manchester is about to blow your mind. Forget cookie-cutter weddings. Forget traditions for the sake of traditions. These two legends threw the rulebook out the window and did things their way—and it was nothing short of incredible.

Neon pink. Bold branding. A photo booth pit stop. Leopard print shoes. Champagne towers. Yes to all of it. This was a wedding that felt like a brand launch and a party rolled into one—slick as hell and effortlessly cool. The kind of day that reminds me why I bloody love alternative weddings.

COFFEE – CHAOS – NEON DREAMS AT THIS WEDDING AT DUCIE STREET WAREHOUSE.

The day kicked off at the seriously cool Ducie Street Apartments, where Anna and her bridesmaids were hanging out in a huge, loft-style space. Honestly, it felt like the set of a fashion shoot—moody lighting, exposed brick, concrete, the lot. The whole vibe of the day was centred around one very specific—and VERY badass—theme: neon pink.

I’m talking accessories, signage, logos on everything… this wasn’t just a wedding—it was basically Anna + Phil launching their own power couple brand. And I was SO here for it. Their initials in neon pink popping up everywhere gave the whole day this cohesive, designer feel. Total wedding goals.

Phil rolled in looking cool AF in a boxy black suit by Studio Nicholson—laid-back, slick, sharp. No stiff, traditional nonsense here. These two were rewriting the wedding style guide from the very start.

“HELL YES, I DO”

Their ceremony space was a total dream—minimalist, Scandinavian, effortlessly stylish. Just 50 of their favourite humans sat surrounded by stripped-back decor, letting the love (and the neon) do all the talking. It was intimate, warm, and totally about them.

After they said their “I dos” (with plenty of cheers and happy tears), it was straight onto cocktails and _confetti cannon_goodness outside (shoutout to Just Hitched Confetti—the best for this kinda chaos). We soaked up every second of the Northern Quarter streets for their portraits—urban grit meets wedding glam. Rain? Who cared. These two were glowing.

And THEN—because they’re absolute legends—we ducked into one of the UK’s last proper analog photo booths at Fred Aldous. Total vintage gem. And honestly? These snaps will be some of my favourite ‘til the day I die.

CHAMPAGNE, SPEECHES & THE COOLEST FUCKING CORNERS

Back to Ducie Street Warehouse—that venue is a goddamn playground for photographers. Exposed pipes, textured walls, soft light bouncing off every concrete surface…honestly, you could shoot in there for hours and still find new magic.

The speeches kicked off while everyone tucked into dinner (plus cookies from Gooey Co and cake from Buttercream Boutique—hell yes). Laughter, tears, perfectly embarrassing stories… the good stuff.

And then…outfit change time. Anna swapped into a short, fierce dress with their neon logo embroidered on the bow (I KNOW RIGHT?!), and Phil rocked leopard print Clarks. I couldn’t love these two more.

POP THE CHAMPAGNE, HIT THE DANCE FLOOR AT THIS DREAM WEDDING AT DUCIE STREET WAREHOUSE IN MANCHESTER!

A champagne tower moment? Obviously. Followed by a first dance that had the whole room grinning their faces off. These two threw one hell of a party—wild dancing, epic tunes (shoutout to Recommended by Celebrities for keeping the floor packed), and the best kinda chaos.

This wasn’t just a wedding. This was Anna + Phil’s world—and we all just got to live in it for a day.

THE VIBE? UNMATCHED. THE COUPLE? FUCKING ICONS.

What a day. What a vibe. Anna + Phil threw the kind of wedding that makes you wanna go home, rip up your own plans, and start again—with more neon, more photo booths, and more you.

Thank you, legends, for letting me be the one to capture it all.
