CAPTURING REAL EVENTS, REAL PEOPLE, AND REAL FUN.

Life is full of moments worth celebrating, and not all of them involve a wedding dress. From milestone birthdays and family celebrations to community events and everything in between, my approach is always the same: keep things relaxed, capture people being themselves, and document the moments you’ll want to look back on for years to come. No awkwardness, no forcing everyone to smile at the camera every five minutes, just documenting genuine moments as they happen and all the little things that make your event unique.

Here’s a few examples of my work.

A Fun & Relaxed Wedding Review

If you think you want a photographer for anything I recommend Martin, he did our wedding and his work ethic and photos were stunning, prior to the wedding he helped connect us with other vendors plan timings for the day and on the day he gave it 100% absolutely amazing!!!

Martin is amazing!

The amount of effort and detail he put in to over 12 hours of our wedding day was incredible. He was running upstairs, laying on the ground and popping up unexpectedly to get the perfect shots. Communication was great ensuring we had time away from being photographed to enjoy our day with guests but also coming up to us with great ideas when the lighting was just right.

Highly recommend!

Martin was amazing and truly wanted the best for us on our day! We adore the photos and have loved reliving the day through them.

For people that don’t like getting their photos taken Martin is the photographer for you. He is kind, funny, and silly enough to make you forget how awkward you feel in front of a camera! He was an absolute joy to have around, and we have had so many compliments about him from our guests.

We would rehire him in an instant, and are so glad that we chose him to capture our special day.

The best photographer! Martin guided us through the day and made it feel easy for us. He captured so many laughs and smiles, really got involved and made us feel so comfortable.

We received so many compliments from guests and suppliers about how personable, professional, and fun he is! We couldn’t have been happier with our choice of photographer and our pictures, which we absolutely love!

We just wanted to share that everyone, without fail, has remarked on how great all the pictures are.

We’re really blown away by them, and are struggling to select the ones to have framed etc!!

Thanks so much, Martin!

Me and my partner couldn’t recommend Martin enough. He goes above and beyond to capture every moment so perfectly, he was so supportive beforehand and throughout the entire day. He helped us plan out our day to ensure our photos would have the best outcome and honestly you can really tell, he is amazing at what he does. Looking back at our photos, we feel like we’re in the moment in every photo, they’re just perfect.
Martin truly felt like family on the day and just fit straight in with all of us! We cannot thank Martin enough for making our day so so magical!

If you want someone to capture moments of your wedding, then Martin is your guy. He’s the wedding photographer that commits for that perfect shot (will lay in mud for it!) And becomes part of wedding day. Martin showcases the love story, the beginning, the middle and the end. Our guests loved him and he just snapped away! Martin is an easy going guy who makes you laugh and wants you to have fun. No one wants a stiff photographer and to feel awkward, so Martin is your guy!

We Highly recommend him.

A Fun & Relaxed Birthday Review

I arranged for Martin to attend a birthday lunch that was to be held in Battersea on the Thames, he came when I asked him, which I thought would be at the end of the meal. Of course, we had not even ordered the meal when he arrived. Martin waited until we ordered and then started to take natural pictures of the family and friends who had come to celebrate my birthday.

I was unaware that he had been ill for a few days but still attended.

The photos were brilliant, he sent copies to us and also advised me that he saves them in multiple places so he will not lose them. He sent them in different formats to me to assist me in saving them.

A relative recommended Martin to us to take pictures at our amazing dad’s funeral. We wanted pictures which weren’t distasteful and he captured the day exactly as we had hoped. Martin was professional and extremely respectful of the occasion and was totally discrete. He recently sent us a file containing the images he took and we couldn’t be happier with his work. If you are looking for a competent, reliable and trustworthy photographer to capture your special occasion, we highly recommend him because he delivers 100%, and will definitely be using him again, hopefully for a more happy occasion next time
