Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the price of your service?
My pricing ranges from £799 - £1799. This is dependent on the duration you would like me to be at the wedding and covers travel & editing costs. Special price on asking if you are looking for only the ceremony, especially during this COVID-19 uncertainty.
What services do you offer?
Wedding Photography, Engagement Party Shoots, Pre - wedding couple shoot, "Trash the Dress" or post wedding shoots
What does the wedding package include?
High Quality Edited images starting from 250 images. Permanent Online Gallery for easy sharing. Consultation meeting. Weddings in Zones 1-3 in London - travel costs included in final price. Guaranteed delivery of images within 3-4 weeks of wedding.
How far in advance should I contact you?
As long in advance as you'd like. Ideally at least 3 months before your wedding, but completely understand some couples leave this to the last minute. So minimum is 1 month before.
Do you cover more than one wedding a day?
No. I like to spend time getting to know each couple I book. And never want to be in a situation where my focus is spread too thin.
What kind of equipment do you use?
Sony Alpha cameras are my weapon of choice. The knowledge that I will always capture those fleeting moments gives me peace of mind. Using the Eye AF technology is a true revolution. Other camera makers have now caught up, but none are as accurate as Sony (in my opinion). Depending on your size of budget I either use the Sony A7RIII or the Sony A7III. Also optional, for the couple shoot I can bring portable studio strobes (flash).
What''s the delivery time for photographic report?
I typically aim to send a sample gallery 1 - 2 weeks from the date of wedding. And aim to finish all the best images approximately in 3 - 4 weeks.
Do you send all the photos taken?
No. Simply as I send only the best images. Sometimes though, I will send a quick succession of images. For example, from the confetti throw, rather than sending a couple, I'll often send my favourite 10-15. As its fun to see the reactions from the various family members and loved ones as they throw the confetti.
Do you work alone or do you have a team of professionals?
I work alone. If a second photographer is desired it will be an additional fee, enquire to find out more.

What Martin can’t do with a camera simply isn’t worth knowing.
Your wedding day is one of the most special days in your life… It was incredibly important to us that we captured it in a way that reminded us just how magical the whole event was.

We organised an introductory meeting in a convenient location with chief photographer Martin. To say we immediately felt at ease would be an understatement- from the moment introductions were made we knew we were in safe hands.
I was amazed that part of the process was a pre- wedding shoot day – this was designed so we could get used to working with Martin and so we could feel comfortable on our big day.
We spent the afternoon and much of the evening on site having photos in various locations and soon got used to Martin’s style. I was utterly amazed at Martin’s attention to detail and commitment despite arctic temperatures. What Martin can’t do with a camera simply isn’t worth knowing.
5 days or so later we received the shoot photos. We were so happy with what we received. My wife has never had a problem looking amazing in photos, what amazed me was I looked pretty good too, he is truly a magician.
For the wedding the whole day went off without a hitch. Martin was an utter pleasure to deal with and he really took the stress out of the logistics of herding family and friends into various positions.
We are now in possession of the images in a custom wooden USB and a beautiful photo album. It’s a wonderful thing to be able to share with our family and friends. Thanks to Martin, it’s something we’ll be able to treasure forever.
So thank you I really can’t recommend you enough!

The quality of his work was excellent and he was so accommodating i.e. me running late by 45min and things not panning out as expected at times.
Absolutely loved his work; before, after and on our actual wedding day. You did an amazing job and cannot recommend you enough!

What struck me was his effortless natural style.
"I came across Martin, through dgtl Couture, on hitched as a top recommended photography service, from the minute I clicked on them I absolutely loved his work. What struck me was the effortless, natural and in-the-moment style of photography, in addition to the editing style of his pics it was just what I was looking for!

When I met him he was so down to earth, listened to everything I had to say (even though I left most of it to him as the expert) I was amazed by how many extravagant ideas he could come up with having just met me & my husband and only knowing the main details of my wedding. As a result he made my photos the best they could possibly be!
I 100% recommend this guy, he is so talented and will make whatever your occasion look even more incredible than it is in real life. Very approachable and promptly answers any question you may have. He captured every detail beautifully but without you even noticing – resulting in the best photographs!" - from my lovely couple, Savannah & Ryan
