    He will capture every moment of your day!

    Martin was amazing from the day we booked him. Always in contact with us. Always there if we needed anything. Just an email away. On the day he was brilliant. Never in the way. Didn't even know he was there and I look at our photos now and think how did he get these photos I didn't even see him. I really recommend Martin all our photos are out of this world and he caught every moment for us!! He's so friendly and easy to get a long with and so professional and knowledgeable. He was so good with the guests to get our photos done in the best and easiest way.

    Incredible photographer

    We couldn’t have found a better wedding photographer for us. Martin captured so many wonderful moments throughout the day in such a beautiful light- all the love, the fun and the chaos. Martin was also such a hands on help when unexpected hiccups occurred, and helped keep things on track. We even had guests comment on how lovely our photographer was! We are so grateful for our beautiful pictures and would highly recommend Martin for anyone planning a wedding.

    We'll relive our day forever

    If you’re looking for fun, unique photos that let you relive your day all over again, Martin is your man! We couldn’t be happier with our experience with him as our wedding photographer. He captured the beautiful atmosphere of our day so perfectly — every moment feels alive in the photos.

    Martin truly knows how to navigate a wedding and its guests; he’s friendly, effortlessly lightens the mood, and brings a real sense of calm to the nerves that come with such a big day. He has an incredible eye for the most beautiful, unique, and funny moments, and it shows in every shot. No matter the weather or the venue, this man has truly seen it all, and he handles everything with confidence and creativity.

    We first met Martin at a close friend’s wedding and instantly knew he’d be perfect for ours. No idea was ever too silly — he completely understood the vibe we wanted to capture.

    Thank you, Martin, for giving us photos we’ll cherish forever. They’re so special to us.

    Highly recommend Martin’s style of photography

    When planning our wedding, one of the things I was most nervous about was the photographs. Everyone says how important wedding photos are and as someone who hates having her picture taken it was something I was dreading. After receiving our pictures I can honestly say that the pictures turned out far better than I could have ever imagined. Martin is an amazing photographer who made me feel completely at ease and captured so many beautiful moments throughout the day—even our guests were commenting on how great he was! I honestly can’t put into words how happy I am with the final results. Martin has manage to capture our wedding in the most perfect way and I can’t wait to receive our completed wedding album. Highly, highly recommend.

    Simply amazing

    It’s so hard to put into words how amazing Martin was on our wedding day, we are so grateful. I was anxious at times throughout the day but he had such a calming presence. Not only was he there to capture every moment, both big and small (because let’s be honest, the small moments are really the big moments!), he coordinated everyone so effortlessly and kept us on time (and we are referring to somebody who is notoriously late for everything!), even contacting our other vendors in advance to run through timings of the day. He made every vision a reality, from my hopeless attempt at tying my dad’s tie to smoke bomb madness and racing into the reception to capture people’s reactions. Whilst every other vendor took their very well-deserved break, he was constantly in and out of our reception to capture everything he could for us. We have had many people comment on how amazing he was and have asked for his details. We can’t wait to recieve our photos, and we really hope that we can have the pleasure of seeing him capture the memories of the people we love in the future.

    Wedding Photographer Review

    We couldn’t be happier with the experience we had with Martin as our wedding photographer. From the very beginning, he was incredibly helpful and professional. In the lead-up to the big day, he took the time to meet with us, walk us through the process, and really understand what we wanted. His calm, clear approach helped us feel confident and excited.

    On the day itself, Martin was absolutely fantastic. He made us feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera, and so many of our guests commented on how lovely and professional he was throughout. He blended in seamlessly, capturing all the little moments without being intrusive or taking us away from the celebration for too long.

    His candid, natural style was exactly what we were looking for—it allowed us to relive genuine, joyful moments rather than overly staged photos. He also suggested going off-site for a short shoot, and the results were stunning—we’re so glad we took that time!

    The quality of the photos is outstanding. Every shot reflects the emotion and beauty of the day, and we’re beyond happy with how everything turned out. We honestly can’t wait to see the final wedding album.

    Thank you, Martin, for capturing our day so perfectly!

    You HAVE to book Martin Ellard as your wedding photographer!

    We both couldn’t have wished for a more perfect photographer that just understood what we wanted. We absolutely LOVE our wedding photos, the happiness we both feel looking over them again and again is priceless. Martin really cared about ensuring our wedding day was captured in the best way he could for us, and ensuring its full story was told! He has such a calming, no fuss and frills approach that just made us feel so relaxed and stress free on the day. If you are camera shy and hate the idea of posing photo after photo, Martin is the photographer for you. So many guests said to us how amazing they thought he was as a photographer, just blurring into the background but constantly clicking his cameras until very late into the evening! You definitely do not need to waste money on a videographer if you have Martin as your wedding photographer - his documentary style approach captures all the big, small and silly moments from the day so beautifully.

    There aren’t enough words to thank Martin for the way he captured the best day of our lives. We will be forever grateful. Thank you!

    Couldn't have picked a better wedding photographer!

    Martin's experience as a wedding photographer makes him such a valuable person to have to guide you through the process in the planning and coordinate the day to ensure your wedding is the best it can be. His photos capture the reality of the joy and emotions of the day perfectly, and his intuitive eye means you can be confident you will have the most beautiful album of photos after the day is over.

    His photos are compositionally beautiful, of a unique style, and such high quality. We received so many compliments from family and friends on his photography and how comfortable he made everyone feel on the day. He helped us to feel at ease - especially during a winter storm with 90mph winds - and the photos he took out in the wind are some of our favourites from our wedding day.

    We feel incredibly lucky to have had Martin as our wedding photographer and he played such an important part in the best day of our lives - we'll be able to remember the day forever through the beautiful photos he took. We would (and have) recommended him to everyone who needs a wedding photographer!

    Passionate, relaxed and lovely photos!

    We were really happy that we chose Martin to be our wedding photographer. Martin was one of the photographers recommended by our wedding coordinators at our venue and his experience photographing weddings at the King Arthur meant he was really great when helping us plan the day and he worked seamlessly with the rest of the team there. Lots of our guests commented on how well he managed the bigger group shots and were impressed by how he kept popping up here there and everywhere to capture different moments!
    Neither of us are super keen on posing for lots of photos and I really didn’t want to feel like I was missing out on the fun of the day by spending too much time away for pictures. Martin’s approach just let the day unfold naturally so the photos felt like they fit in with everything else (rather than the other way around). It was so lovely to look back at the moments he’d captured of everyone, especially things we may have missed ourselves.
    We had some beautiful photos of just the two of us in a couple of lovely spots near our venue (which Martin helped us pick) but we spent that time having a walk and chatting while Martin took photos from a distance, which meant it just felt like a little breather and a chance to spend time together. I think it really helped us to regroup and stop the day passing by in too much of a flash!
    We also really liked Martin’s style, which stood out to us when we were looking for our photographer - our photos are vibrant and full of life and colour and really capture the atmosphere of the day.
    Totally recommend if you are looking for relaxed, experienced and passionate photographer who is a pleasure to have around on the day! Thank you, Martin!!

    Incredible Wedding Photographer!

    We could not reccomend Martin enough. The photos we have are absolutely wonderful. All of our family and friend's ageee too. Martin caught all of the traditional ones, but more importantly caught so many lovely candid moments of us and our guests enjoying the day.

    Martin was also amazing in the planning stage and met up with us for a few hours to run through our photo preferences, which really put our minds at ease. He was also extremely helpful on the day, doing his part to make sure everything ran smoothly. Just fab! So pleased with went with Martin, couldn't have asked for more from a wedding photographer! Thank you!!
