Michael Townsend Photography

I’m a wedding photographer based in Stalybridge. I cover Manchester, Cheshire and Yorkshire.

Get in touch with Michael Townsend Photography for a quote and price for the day and to check their availability.

My wedding photography style offers both candid and posed shots to get a pleasing mix that will give your album the right balance and to tell your story in a way that best represents you as a couple.

I love the build-up to the day, meeting a new couple and sharing their dreams and expectations for that special day. There’s nothing better than to see how their plans for the day develop and having those ideas turn into reality.

Then there are all the incredible moments that happen throughout the entire day that I am there to capture – from the bride, groom and bridal party getting ready in the morning, to the groom anxiously awaiting for his wife-to-be, the ceremony and the fun and celebrations that follow.

During these events, there are the quieter, smaller yet sweet details that are forever cherished – the groom’s mother arranging his corsage, the moment when the bride and groom see each other for the first time, and all the reactions and smiles that ensue throughout the day.

Look at our work and our reviews. Ask to see a whole wedding.

I travel throughout the North West, North Wales and the Midlands at no extra cost.
