Client reviews
“We knew that he was the photographer we wanted to capture our day…”
– Hannah & Billy
“For someone insecure about having their photo taken, Martin was the perfect fit. It was lovely to not have to worry about the camera all day, in fact, we completely forgot he was there!
Resulting in the most beautiful and natural photos. We are beyond happy with the finished result.”
Olivia & William – South Farm, Herts
“We wanted a photographer who could capture real, non-contrived moments without anyone knowing he was there, he achieved this beautifully.
Martin has a lovely manner which makes you feel instantly relaxed. He captured some incredible photos which we will treasure forever. I’m still unable to look through the photos without being emotional.
Martin’s photos were perfect.”
Rebecca & Will – The Cherry Barn
“Martin’s photos are truly a highlight of our wedding! My wife and I spent a long time searching for the best photographer and we knew Martin was capable of capturing the style and feel we were looking for.
We weren’t disappointed with the results, the images he captured were amazing. Not only was the image quality and framing excellent but he was able to take photos that brought the viewer into the moment, of which he captured so many!”
Anna & Daniel – Cissbury Barns
“Martin is a fantastic photographer and delivered beautiful shots to capture the day. He takes his work seriously and sensitively and produces work that is highly skilled and that stands out artistically above other wedding photographers available.
We are very happy with our choice and would recommend him to other couples!”
Rosie & Jacob – Southover Grange
“Martin is unique in the way that he photographs weddings, and as a filmmaker, I really respect his ethos.
It’s all about documenting the real moments and not even noticing he’s there.
Not countless posed photos that aren’t genuine. He is invaluable to the industry!”
Jessi & Rob – The Asylum Chapel, London
“We wanted a photographer to focus on reactions and faces which Martin did wonderfully. He blended into the day and was hardly noticeable but got some amazing shots!
He was just what we were looking for in a photographer.
We are so happy with the photos he took, would hire him again.”
Rebecca & Steve – Smedmore House, Dorset
“We wanted photos that told a story of our wedding day; photos that captured the tears, smiles, and candid moments. Martin’s photos do all of this and much more. I’ve lost track of how many people have said they are the best wedding photos they’ve seen.
Viewing the photos upon our return from our honeymoon was an incredibly fun experience. Martin has a touch of magic about him.”
Hannah & Sam – Lewes Castle, Sussex
“Martin was invisible. An artist in documentary photography. He is an unobtrusive observer who eyes the subject searching for the moment when the light, the movement, and the magic combine to ‘click’ the shutter.
His curiosity to hear the stories shows that he is not only a refined photographer but also a true storyteller.”
Emily & Marc – Arthingworth, Leics
“We are a laid-back couple, not ones for contrived photographs, so we wanted a photographer who could capture the moments we envisioned without the setups.
Martin does that and more. The images we received told the story of our day perfectly and had us (Max!) in tears and hysterical laughter.”
Claudia & Max – Dewsall Court, Herefordshire
” Martin completely understood our needs as a couple and we couldn’t be happier with his coverage of our wedding. He was unobtrusive, blending seamlessly into the crowd and captured all the little moments we ourselves missed as part of the whirlwind day. Martin really made our day – couldn’t recommend highly enough! ” – Nikki & Phil
“Martin is truly outstanding and a rare find. He captured so many candid, intimate moments without us even realizing he was there. Although we only met on the day, he put us at ease and brought out our personalities in the photos…no set-up poses or awkward smiles; just pure, relaxed joy and movement.”
Kate & Pierre – Islington Town Hall
“Cannot praise Martin’s photographs, advice, communication, guidance, or expertise highly enough.
Quite simply an astounding photographer who has a distinctive approach that resulted in him capturing not only some wonderful photographs but the wide range of emotions that we enjoyed throughout the day.
Photos are important to us both, and we couldn’t be more happy with the pictures Martin took.”
Gary & Jeff – Cissbury Barns, Sussex
“We spent a long time looking at blogs, galleries, Facebook, and Instagram before we contacted our shortlist of photographers. Martin sent me a few Southend Barns galleries to look at, and that was it, decision made.
Our pictures were like re-living our wedding all over again. This is exactly what we wanted, a storybook of our day.”
Sarah & James – Southend Barns, Sussex
“We were prepared to fly a photographer in from 6,000 miles away but the best photographer in the land was right here.
Martin is a visionary; he doesn’t just shoot what’s in front of him but adds his own vision to the scene and infuses each shot with an incredible atmosphere. Shots of the big moments but also the quieter, fleeting moments of beauty.”
Jane & Hendrik – Bloomsbury House, London
“We are absolutely delighted with the photos Martin took at our wedding. He has captured the day beautifully.
Martin is discreet and on many occasions, we didn’t even realize he was there!
He was totally unobtrusive and captured the day as it was, without endless staged photos.”
Alice & James – Hever Castle, Kent
“As soon as we found Martin’s website, we just knew we had to have him photograph our wedding. This was one of the best decisions we made.
Martin was so easygoing and made us feel very relaxed. For the majority of the day, we didn’t even notice he was there!
Martin could not have captured the day any better.”
Caroline & Lloyd – Burley Manor, New Forest
“ Martin was everything we hoped he’d be and more. His images blew me away and captured everything we had tried to create for the last year. His photos proved he was everywhere but we never saw him and he was everywhere that mattered. His style and timing are quite unique from everything I’ve seen of other photographers. He has allowed us to relive our day whenever we want through a new and beautiful pair of eyes ” – Alice & Matt
“Martin’s skill is ultimately in being able to create beautiful photos out of any situation. The framing, the focus, and the way he uses the light.
This is a real art form: to make something from nothing. He doesn’t boss around or have lengthy setups but is also willing to execute some of our ideas too.
A lot of my friends said they just didn’t know he was there.”
Donna & Max – Luton Hoo
“We both agreed that we didn’t want formal photography at our wedding and when we saw Martin’s work it was the second quickest decision (after our venue) that we made to have him photograph our day.
He understood and delivered beautifully the documentary feel that we wanted.
He captured the emotion, the laughs, the thoughts, the relationships, and the love all felt on the day. We were overjoyed by the result.”
Claire & Osman – Claridges Hotel, London
“Martin was perfect for our day. For two people who don’t like having their photos taken, he managed to capture some amazing moments.
His shots told the story of our day and all my guests loved the images as well, even though most commented they never even noticed the photographer!
Our day was very relaxed and probably not the easiest to shoot, but we still got beautiful photos.”
Chloe & Nick – The Oak Barn, Kent
“Martin is an absolutely gifted photographer who captured our special day in such a way that it is just a perfectly captured story, instead of the standard setup wedding pictures.
He shot the most personal, emotional, and truthful pictures, with a perfect use of contrast, brightness, and light.
He just perfectly captured the love and emotions.”
Michelle & Ben – The Amadeus Centre, London
“We always wanted a wedding photographer that we didn’t know was there – we’ve been to many weddings where the photographer takes over the day and the photos at the end can seem forced.
Martin was perfect for us. We literally didn’t know he was there and he captured the most amazing moments. Our guests say they are the best wedding photos they’ve seen and we completely agree!”
Mary & Alex – Corfe, Dorset
“Martin made our wedding day! So many guests commented on how discreet he was and that he had a great attitude. He captured every element of our day and looking back at the photos is just like doing it all again!
This is exactly what we wanted.
Neither of us are confident in having our photo taken, yet he made us so at ease in our couple shots and wasn’t in our face. He really captured the feel of the day.”
Hannah & Chris – The Secret Barn, Sussex
“Martin made us feel so relaxed (and subtly added humour when
needed!) all day, and many guests commented on how unobtrusive
he was. Our photographs are absolutely beautiful and he
documented the day superbly. Martin has a gift of observing and
studying people within a relatively short space of time, and then
capturing their personalities so perfectly – it was this gift that made
our photographs so special. I can’t recommend Martin highly
enough – a genuine and extremely talented professional.”
Katherine & Charlie – Town Hall Hotel, London
“Too many people have told us ours are the best wedding photos they have seen for it to be just flattery. Martin knew what we wanted, and was honest enough to tell us what he needed to do to capture that.
The result was a series of spontaneous moments captured to make a dazzling whole, which tells the story of the day perfectly. Martin’s given us something timeless and beautiful, all done in the most unobtrusive style.”
Caroline & Olly – Hampshire
“The best money we ever spent on our wedding day was definitely on the photographer. Martin came recommended by many people and did not disappoint. It all goes so quickly, that the photos really are the most important part.
Martin’s style meant that you barely knew he was there, yet the photos were so personal and intimate. They captured every moment and feeling – as if you had taken the shot yourself. If you are going to splash out on anything, then get Martin to photograph your wedding day. If it means ditching the favours, (which everyone bins anyway), it’s worth it as through Martin’s eyes you will be able to relive that perfect day over and over again.” – Adela & Toby
