  Above and beyond

  We've just received our wedding photos back and I'm just not eloquent enough to put into words how amazing they are and how talented Martin is.
  
  We loved reliving our day and seeing so many moments we didn't know had happened or ones we had forgotten.
  We very quickly forgot we were with a stranger who we'd paid to take our photos and instead felt like we were spending our time with an old friend. Martin is so full of energy and has an incredible eye for detail. He will put you at ease from the minute you speak with him. A truly fantastic photographer and lovely gentleman who we feel very lucky to have found to be part of our special day. A master of his craft.

  Thank you very much, Kelly & Phillip. It was an absolute pleasure meeting you and capturing your wedding at the stunning Rockbeare Manor in Devon.

  Magical wedding moments...

  ...captured wonderfully by Martin. We booked Martin after seeing some of his photos at a wedding venue event and we’re so glad we did. Martin’s photos didn't disappoint!
  
  The shots gave a real feel of the emotions, atmosphere and joy of the day - just what we were looking for our intimate, relaxed evening wedding at the Roman Baths.
  
  I'm usually a very detailed person and thought it might be hard to not script a list of photos– we were looking for an informal ‘not posed’ approach - we’d no need to worry we put our trust in Martin who found the perfect combinations. Martin listened to our ideas for the few specific shots we did have in mind and adapted brilliantly on the day in the torrential weather creating some truly once in a life time pictures.
  
  Martin guided and steered professionally throughout, so every part of the ceremony felt completely natural - you’d hardly have known Martin was there. We and our small group of guests appreciated Martin’s encouraging, polite, professional approach which helped us all enjoy each moment. Martin also videoed the ceremony – this was definitely a good choice and complimented the photographs perfectly.
  
  We’ve already recommended Martin to friends we were so delighted with our photographs. Our special day captured superbly with photos we will treasure forever. I'd reserve Martin again without hesitation.
  
  Thank you Martin.

  The perfect photographer for our day!

  Martin is a brilliant photographer and such a lovely person! He captured our day so perfectly - we couldn’t have been happier with our choice, and our guests thought he was great too. He was very professional throughout and sent us all the photos and video in the timelines agreed and they looked even better than we expected, with so many fun and natural shots. Thank you Martin!!

  Martin is amazing!!

  We had Martin as our wedding photographer when we got married at Cripp’s barn and we highly recommend him.
  
  We are so happy that we hired Martin as our wedding photographer. He was amazing from the start. He was very informative in the meeting beforehand. On the day he felt like family and blended right into our wedding. He laughed and smiled with our family and friends. Having Martin as our photographer is one of our best decisions especially since Martin is very talented, professional and passionate with his work. We loved receiving our sneak peak photos within a few days, it was so exciting and the photos were incredible. We have now received all our photos and we love them and we can’t stop looking at them.
  
  Having Peruvian family, it was such a lovely surprise that Martin during a photo shouted a Peruvian phrase. He also spoke some Spanish to our relatives which was such a nice touch.
  
  Martin was very approachable and friendly from the onset. On the day Martin was present but not intrusive, he knew what he was doing and got on with it in the background organising photos with us around our schedule but it didn’t feel like we were being too far away from our wedding day. We also like that Martin enjoyed himself, he just blended in and I remember Martin smiling with our guests capturing the dancing, and happy to be with us. When Martin had to go, my family wanted him put down his camera and just stay to party!
  
  We highly recommend having Martin to capture your special day. Thank you Martin!

  Perfectly captured our day

  We were looking for a photographer who would make the most of the beautiful gardens our venue had to offer. Looking through Martin's portfolio, we could see that his style would capture this perfectly. He doesn't mute the colours and crush the shadows, nor does he blow out the highlights like so many photographers do. This was a summer wedding and we wanted colour.
  Martin's communication was excellent throughout. He listened to what we wanted and gave good advice based on his wealth of experience.
  Martin managed the guests well to get the shots we wanted and worked really well with our videographer.
  Our "first look" photos arrived only a couple of days after the wedding, whilst we were waiting to board our honeymoon flight, and we were blown away by them. We have since ordered an album plus two small versions for parents.
  Martin was a joy to have at the wedding, the guests were so complimentary about him. I would recommend him whole-heartedly.

  Excellent!

  We chose Martin for our wedding on 31.5.24. Martin was so relaxed throughout the day and just fitted in! He took fantastic photos and was totally flexible with what we wanted. We had photos before, during and after the wedding ceremony and had some stunning photos at the Suspension Bridge. The group shots are fun and more formal and the candid shots are brilliant. Martin was great at communicating before and after the wedding and he sent a sneaky pic of our photos as a taster straight after the wedding which was great. We would thoroughly recommend Martin as a fantastic wedding photographer.

  A Brilliant Photographer

  We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Martin. He is brilliant at capturing the moments you want. Our family thought he was excellent and he worked easily with them throughout the day. We have beautiful pictures of our day thanks to him.

  Brilliant photographer and beautiful photos!

  Martin photographed our wedding and also did a short video (5 mins) and captured the speeches on film - we are super happy with the results, the pictures are absolutely beautiful and the video is lovely! Highly recommend Martin - he was really friendly to work with and helped everything run smoothly on the day. Thanks so much!

  Highly recommend!!

  We hired Martin to be our photographer for our intimate wedding at Sudeley Castle in May 2023 and he was very pleasant to work with from the first email, to the consultation, pre-wedding updates and then on the wedding day itself. Martin is a really warm and friendly character and was really personable with all the guests. As half of the guests were from overseas, they really appreciated his effort in communicating with them and made posing for pictures a memorable and joyful experience.
  
  After the wedding, we received a really impressive collection of photographs which perfectly captured the essence and atmosphere of the day, surprising us even with some great pictures which he had taken without us noticing he was there, a testament to his ability to blend in to the background during the most important moments of the wedding day, capturing natural and joyful interactions with family members.
  
  We highly recommend Martin for weddings or any other events where you want a non-intrusive, friendly and professional photographer to capture your special moments.

  Beautiful Photos and Video

  Martin was great and his photos are such a beautiful momento of our special day. He really put us at ease in front of the camera, and knew when to keep to one side too, which was important to us. We also opted for his new feature of iPhone video footage which he captures simultaneously whilst photographing (phone mounted on camera) so no moment is missed on either device. He was very communicative from our initial query, and settled right in when he joined us on the day. The editing of the photos is really impressive, without making them look unrealistic. Thank you Martin!
