Martin was absolutely fabulous from start to finish. No words can describe just how perfectly he fit in to our special day - all of our guests can’t stop raving about how fun and easy he was to “work” with. Thank you so much for making our experience a truly enjoyable one - the sneak peek photos are absolutely incredible.
If you’re thinking of booking Martin, don’t hesitate - he’s the best of the best!! Wish we could do it all over again - I will recommend Martin to everyone until I’m blue in the face!Martin Dabek Photography's reply:

Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer
We are so pleased that we chose Martin to photograph our wedding at Thornbury Castle. From the moment we met him, we felt really comfortable with him. He was so fun, relaxed and easy-going, which made such a difference on the day.
Neither of us is particularly comfortable in front of a camera, but he made everything feel really natural and easy. We never felt like we were spending the whole day posing for photographs, and he managed to get all the important moments without it ever feeling intrusive.
We absolutely love our photos. There are so many lovely little moments that we didn’t even realise he had photographed, and looking through them brings back all the emotions and memories of the day. They really feel like our wedding and not just a set of posed wedding pictures.
Our guests also commented on how relaxed and professional he was, which we thought said a lot about him. He fitted in so well and was genuinely a pleasure to have there.
He was also fantastic value for money, and we honestly couldn’t be happier with what we got. We’re so glad we chose him and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Thank you so much for helping make our day so special and for giving us photos we’ll treasure for years to comeMartin Dabek Photography's reply:
Thank you so much for such a lovely review! ❤️
It was a real pleasure being part of your wedding at Thornbury Castle. You were both so lovely and easy-going, and I’m so glad you felt comfortable in front of the camera. 😉
I’m really happy you love the photos and that they bring back all those special moments and emotions from the day. That’s exactly what I’m hoping to capture!
Thank you again — it really means a lot! ❤️

Steven Sent on 16/07/2026Fantastic photographer
We honestly cannot recommend Martin highly enough!
From our first conversation, he took the time to understand exactly what we wanted from our wedding photography and what was important to us. When we told him we wanted bright, colourful, fun photos, he was so enthusiastic about the idea and completely embraced our vision, which immediately gave us confidence we'd chosen the right photographer.
Martin photographed our wedding at Cripps Barn on 10th July 2026, and he was absolutely incredible from start to finish. He was with us for 12 hours, yet somehow managed to be everywhere without ever feeling intrusive. His professionalism throughout the day was exceptional, but at the same time he was so relaxed, calm and friendly that he instantly put us both at ease.
He talked us through every step of the day, making sure we always knew what was happening next. We'd given him a list of family and friendship groups we wanted photographed, and he had everything organised, letting us know exactly when each set of photos would happen so nothing felt rushed or stressful.
One thing that completely amazed us was how quickly he learnt everyone's names. I had 8 bridesmaids, 2 flower girls and we both have large families, yet he seemed to know everyone almost instantly! It made such a difference and showed just how much effort he puts into making the day run smoothly.
He blended seamlessly into the wedding and captured so many natural moments without us even noticing he was there. So many of our guests commented on how lovely he was and how comfortable he made everyone feel.
We've already received our sneak peek gallery and we are absolutely blown away. The photos are everything we hoped for and more - fun, vibrant, colourful, full of personality and beautifully varied. We've shared them with family and friends already, and so many people have told us they're the best wedding photos they've ever seen.
We also chose to have Martin film our wedding, and after seeing the photographs, we honestly cannot wait to watch the video.
Thank you, Martin, for capturing our day so perfectly. You didn't just take beautiful photographs, you helped make the whole day feel relaxed and enjoyable. We couldn't have asked for more, and we'd recommend you to absolutely anyone looking for a wedding photographer.Martin Dabek Photography's reply:
Wow... Emily & Steve, thank you so much for such an amazing review. I'm genuinely blown away by your kind words!
It was an absolute pleasure to be part of your beautiful wedding at Cripps Barn.
Thank you for trusting me with both your photography and video. Knowing that you both felt relaxed throughout the day and that your family and friends enjoyed having me around means so much to me. I always try to learn everyone's names as quickly as I can because I believe it helps people feel more comfortable and makes the whole experience much more personal.
I'm absolutely delighted that you love your sneak peeks, and I can't wait to share the rest of your gallery and wedding film with you. There are so many more beautiful moments still to come!
Thank you once again for choosing me to capture such an unforgettable day.

Sophie Sent on 03/01/2026September Wedding 2025
We had a great experience with Martin for our wedding in September - we actually had two weddings (the legal wedding and a reception / party a few days later) and Martin was our photographer for both. He was vey flexible with availability across both days, and agreed to amend the bookings a few times to make sure we were able to capture all the key moments without blowing our budget! He was really communicative and made a big effort to make us feel comfortable on the day, even asking for a list of family member names so he could address each person individually, which was lovely. The photos themselves were brilliant and we're really happy with the service we received. Thank you Martin! Sophie & JoshMartin Dabek Photography's reply:
Thank you so much, Sophie & Josh! I had an absolute blast capturing your legal ceremony at the Sandy Cove Hotel in Devon, followed by such a fantastic party at Beeses in Bristol. Amazing vibes all round!
Best wishes,

Ali Sent on 31/12/2025Tremendous cooperation
Martin can be described in one word: professional. Thanks to his own, unique style, he captured all the most important moments during our ceremony in the church and at the wedding reception. As a photographer, Martin is practically unnoticeable in action, allowing him to capture extraordinary moments without intimidating the wedding guests. This is a remarkable feature worth emphasizing. In terms of budget, Martin is worth the agreed price. In terms of cooperation, he is very friendly and flexible, what allowed him to meet our expectations. The wedding photo shoot had a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. In general, cooperation with Martin is clear and structured. His drone shots and wedding clip are very cool and full of joy. We highly recommend him as a photographer! Surely you will be satisfied !Martin Dabek Photography's reply:
Thank you, Ali & Asia! I loved capturing your amazing wedding in Poland — such a great day and atmosphere. -

Adrienne Sent on 31/12/2025Amazing Photos, and Amazing to Work With
We saw an example album of Martin's work and loved it. We had a great initial contact call, and loved Martin's energy and calm, reassuring approach. Martin had worked in our venue before and was able to offer loads of recommendations on what works well in terms of locations for photos, the flow for the day, and how to get great photos without it interfering with our enjoyment of the day.
On the day Martin brought the perfect energy, hyping us up to get us laughing and smiling naturally, while also being discreet when appropriate. His posed photos and natural candid ones are all great and captured the day perfectly. We love the style of Martin's art - bold and colourful - which is how we remember the day.
We were unsure about whether to go for a second shooter, and Martin said that in our case he would actually recommend saving the money and putting it towards an album or large prints. It was really nice hearing honest advice.
Martin worked really well with outer venue and suppliers and was super responsive throughout.
His aftercare following up after our wedding with rushes, the final album, etc has been excellent.
I recommend Martin to everyone. He is an absolute gem! Thank you for capturing our wedding so beautifully!Martin Dabek Photography's reply:
Thank you so much, Will & Ren! I loved capturing your wedding at Priston Mill — such an amazing day with wonderful people. Thank you for bringing the great vibe! -

We definitely made the right decision asking Martin to be our wedding photographer. He was amazing on the day, he blended really well with our guests even learnt some Hungarian words 😀.The sneak peak photos arrived while we were driving home which is incredible and all our photos were ready before we got back from our honeymoon! The photos are amazing, he managed to capture so many candid pictures, which are my absolute favourites. Thank you, Martin for our beautiful photos!Martin Dabek Photography's reply:
Thank you very much for your lovely review. I had so much fun photographing your intimate wedding at The Sandy Cove Hotel in Devon! -

Will Sent on 27/12/2025Martin was amazing for our wedding!
If you’re looking for a photographer for your wedding, we couldn’t recommend Martin enough! He took the time to get to know what we needed from the day, and made some creative suggestions whenever we felt a bit stuck. He was also fantastic at sneaking us off for our sunset photoshoot and made sure that our personalities shone through in the photos. We now have a collection that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Thank you Martin for your professional and playful approach to our big day!Martin Dabek Photography's reply:
Thank you, Will & Harriet!
Loved capturing your wedding at Priston Mill – such an amazing day with brilliant people. I’m really grateful for your kind words.
