Manchester Wedding Photographer | Mike Kelly

As well as weddings and portraits I also do commercial work for a range of organisations, including the BBC. You might have seen the Big Sing on TV this afternoon. Here are a few shots I took backstage and during rehearsals at the Royal Albert Hall. It was a real honour to have the run of a building like that and to see the huge planning effort that goes into a flagship broadcast at first hand.

Bryn Terfel, the nicest, and biggest, man in the world:

Jodie all scrubbed up and ready for her close up:

I’ve been looking for Christmas cards to send out to clients this year. I thought at first I didn’t have any properly wintry scenes, but then I remembered my cross Europe road trip through -10 degrees back in January.

The World Peace Centre in Verdun, France:

Somewhere on the France / German border, and really very cold:

The view from Em and James’ place in Verbier. Nice!
