February quote of the month:

"People think that all cameramen do is point the camera at things, but it's a heck of a lot more complicated than that!"

Wedding photography from Michael Gradwell Photography is available now. If you are planning a wedding in the North West then give Michael a call on 0845 257 0663.

Michael has been taking photographs since he was a teenager. Armed with a Zenith EM SLR camera he would take photos of anything and everything. "I had my own darkroom, which was an important area for me, and I also used the top-class facilities when I was at university. However for me the digital age has transformed my photographs. It used to take hours to get a photo right. It now takes seconds and I can do so much more. I can remove blemishes and blur backgrounds. On each and every photograph the viewer can be directed to the centre of attention, without distraction. It's the bride and Groom's special day, and the album can reflect this, while also of course bringing into focus in turn all of the guests and events and other elements that together make the day so special."

Photography information

The wedding day is based around your needs and requirements. The photographer can give guidance as to the timetable for the day and as he only works at one wedding in the day there is as much time as you need. There is no limit to the number of photographs taken. As Michael says "the digital age has really opened up the opportunities for photographers. Not only can we improve on the pictures but we can take as many photos as we like. We don't need to wait for a roll of film to be finished in order to change the film speed and flash is not so important". This allows Michael to take many photos without the need for formality that is required with film cameras.
