This afternoon I had the privilege of photographing Danny and Rich who together form Hiddenagenda – a Sheffield based trance duo who regularly play at various venues around the UK and Ibiza. I photographed the pair about three years ago so it was really nice to be  asked to take some further press shots for them.

The weather was somewhat erratic in typical British weather style,  we arrived at our first location on the very top floor of the Q park (otherwise locally known as the cheese grater)  just in time for the beautiful winter blue sky to be covered in a very glum looking covering of black clouds.. this was of course immediately followed by a torrential rain shower! … Fortunately the rain cloud disappeared as quickly as it appeared and the blue sky returned several minutes later.

I haven’t blogged for a while…in fact…I haven’t photographed much for a while…
It felt great to pick up my camera, screw on my 50mm prime and throw my camera strap over my shoulder this morning. It may well be November i.e. the middle of the wedding photography ‘low season’ but it was sunny out and photography is my passion… I must shoot more regularly.. must!

Manchester has some truly beautiful buildings and public spaces, I have enclosed a few photos from a recent trip to the city to see a friend. The photos are not wedding related, nor are they technically architectural photos * the weather however was glorious, the blue sky was to die for.. I couldn’t help but snap away and take some photos in the amazingly unusual 26c heat!

*A message for any architectural photographers – You will instantly notice that a tilt shift lens was not used here, I could have used lens correction in Photoshop to solve this issue but in this instance I have left the photos as they were shot..17mm wide on a full frame.

Over the course of its 100 year history The Midland Hotel in Manchester has welcomed many a king, queen, president and rock star. The Grade II listed hotel oozes luxury, comfort and style and earlier this month it welcomed Vicky and Chris who held their wedding at the beautiful venue.  Here are a selection of photos which tell the story of their day.

Tramlines sprung into life just three years ago and yet the music festival which takes over the very heart of the city of Sheffield has become one of the city’s most popular events. The free for all, two day music festival was this year spread across 5 main stages with dozens of additional smaller venues, one off parties and outside events. A continental market with over 25stalls selling fresh produce and food from around the world was also arranged to coincide with the festival which quite literally  takes over the centre of the city.

Over 125thousand people visited the festival in 2010, no official figures for 2011 have been released as yet but the festival is drastically increasing in popularity on a year by year basis, the figures could be 150thousand, perhaps more! Here are a selection of photos from the final day of the festival..

Vicky and Chris are getting married at the beautiful Midland Hotel in Manchester in two weeks time. Today I had the  privilege of meeting up with them in Manchester for a few drinks, we talked over all the plans for their big day and had a quick look around the hotel, the Grade II listed treasure oozes luxury, comfort and style, I simply can’t wait to cover their day!

It rained on and off all day in today, typical July weather! Thankfully we managed to dodge the rain showers and snatched some quick portraits down on the canal in central Manchester. Here are a few samples…

I will be covering Hina and Mazhar’s wedding in a few weeks time in Sheffield. Today I met up with Hina and her sister Sobia to talk about the wedding and discuss all the final details and times. Mazhar was unfortunately unavailble to attend today because he was busy down in London, I therefore took the chance to take some informal photos of Hina and her sister.

Here’s a few cheeky samples… more at http://www.tombramwell.co.uk/hina/

Naomi got ready at her parents’ house and then made her way to the Western Park Museum with her bridesmaids and immediate family in two of the most amazing vintage cars! The guests were transported from the Museum to the reception venue on a vintage Red route master bus!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Naomi and Chris had entrusted the brilliant Jennie from ‘Hansley Beard Event Planning & Design’ for the venue decor at the Millennium Galleries and what a great job she did!  I had never met Jennie before this wedding but I had seen the great selection of work on her blog..very impressive stuff! I would certainly recommend a visit if you’re about to start the process of planning your big day!

Up until a few years ago there was a large gap between the wedding photographer and the wedding videographer, the two separate trades required very different skills and very different equipment. All this changed however when Canon released the Canon 5D mk2 camera and threw a huge spanner in the works!

The 5D mk2 has the ability to shoot in 1080p HD and was the first Digital SLR on the market to do such a thing, many photographers and videographer alike initially classed this feature as a mere gimmick.. an advanced feature rarely to be touched.  This however all changed following the release of a short film by Canon which was entirely filmed on the camera, the quality of the film shuck the film industry by the scruff of its neck and many in the industry have never looked back. In short the camera has the ability to produce very high quality footage at a fraction of the price and physical size of many of film industry standard cameras.

I have had my Canon 5D mk2 for several months now, I recently picked up the camera and began filming for the very first time. This short (very short) film was filmed towards the very end a recent wedding, my video skills are somewhat limited but it’s amazing what you can produce in the first 15minutes of use.

Here are a few sneaky samples from a relaxed editorial shoot with the lovely Kate. She insisted I photoshoped and airbrushed every single image… this wasnt required..unsuprisingly!
