About Us
Behind the Lens
Rooted Lens began long before it became a business. It started with a teenager and a camera — Mikhail, just 14 at the time — capturing family gatherings, birthdays, and weddings for the people closest to him. What began as a way to preserve memories for loved ones quickly became a genuine passion.
Â
As his work spread among family and friends, more and more people asked him to capture their special moments. One request led to another, and the hobby that started in living rooms and community halls slowly grew into a trusted creative service.
Â
Today, Rooted Lens is the natural evolution of that journey — a company rooted in authenticity, storytelling, and the belief that meaningful content comes from real connection. What started behind the lens has grown into a dedicated team creating wedding, event, and social media content across Greater Manchester — still driven by the same heart and passion that sparked it all.
