Wedding Cake Cut Photos

Cake cut or Cake Smash?

Cutting the wedding cake can be a bit boring. Nobody really thinks about it in advance: who holds the knife? Whose hand goes on top? TBH all we want to know is if someone is about to get a face FULL of cake!

A sharp knife, a load of booze, and everyone buzzing on your wedding day. What could possibly go wrong? 😅 Some couples even go full sword fight with the cake knife, and honestly, I’m all for it — I’ll just take a safe step back!

Whatever the moment brings: an innocent little feed, a “you wouldn’t dare” stare, or the second it all goes wrong!

Smash it in their face! Go on, I dare you! 😈 I’ll snap the shock, the laughing (and the icing in the eyebrows!). It’s two minutes, and it’s always one of the funniest photos of the day. 🍰

CAKE SMASH!

Hey, I’m Martin 👋
I’m very ADHD, full of bad jokes, and have never really understood why everyone wants to be ‘normal’, whatever the fuck that is!

I capture unique love stories

I’ve been photographing Weddings professionally for over a decade. I love photographing people the most, especially when they’re being their quirkiest selves, and having a great time with the people they love. 🧡

I'm the literal ginger giant behind Carrot Top Photos.

When I’m not working, I’m still rarely far from a camera, usually trying to find the best spot to catch the sunset, or the stars at night.

Otherwise, I’ll be driving liberally (and safely) through the country lanes of Essex; singing musical theatre anthems at full blast; or removing brand ambassador Lando, my ginger kitten from the washing basket! 🐈

A Fun & Relaxed Wedding Review

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!

A Fun & Relaxed Wedding Review

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 Wedding Review

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!
