Creative Wedding Fair at The Whitworth Gallery
On 30th of April 2016, Etsy Manchester – in association with the Whitworth gallery – launched its inaugural creative wedding fair in Manchester! An event for people who want a wedding that is as unique as they are!
On (11am – 4pm) Etsy Manchester, in association with the Whitworth gallery, brought the Creative Wedding Fair to Manchester!
An alternative wedding show
The wedding show was for the alternative and quirky, for those that value handmade integrity and local craftsmanship. An event for people who think outside of the ‘big corporation’ box and want a wedding that is as unique as they are!

I am an Etsy Manchester team leader, passionate about all aspects of photography - particularly landscapes and wildlife. I own the Etsy store Adam Clark Photography. Born and raised in Manchester UK, I started learning the art of photography from a young age, tutored by my Father, using his old film camera. I still have and use that camera to this day.
