Martin was incredible! We certainly made the right choice picking him for our special day. The photos never ever felt like a chore, Martin made everyone feel at ease and fitted into the day perfectly! So many people said they didn't even notice he was there during the day which speaks volumes. The preview shots we had seen have blown my wife and I away! We can't wait to see the full portfolio!

Me and my wife were lucky enough to have Martin and his wife Daiga document our wedding day back in September, and we cannot thank them enough for the amazing job that they did. The professionalism, the pride and effort they put into their work is amazing and it truly reflects in their final products they have sent to me and lucy. I would recommend Martin to anyone looking for a professional photographer and Daiga if anyone is looking for a professional videographer. The magic mirror was a good touch too thank you both,

We have recently received our wedding album (after taking ages to sift through and choose from all of the amazing photos that Martin took of our special day), we are absolutely thrilled with the end product. We made the decision to have an engagement shoot before the wedding day as we were not really used to having photos taken together and we were so glad that you we we did this. Martin helped us to feel relaxed and gave us many tips for looking good on photos!

The photos from our wedding day are memories that we will cherish forever. The combination of both natural and formal photos are exactly what we were hoping for. Guests commented on Martin's professional yet friendly manner.
Martin we can't thank you enough for the memories you have helped to capture.

Martin was fantastic. Good fun and unerringly professional. He actually managed to make the taking of wedding photos a pleasure. The results are superb and delivered exactly in accordance with promises and expectations. Recommended without reservation.

Martin took incredible photos of our wedding on 18th November. He was so helpful in getting everyone where they needed to be ensuring we managed to get all the photos we needed. He had some amazing ideas to create beautiful pictures for me and my husband, even if it did mean traipsing through the mud, it was totally worth it. We have had so many comments from family and friends about how great Martin was on the day. Martin sent us a few preview shots the day after the wedding which were great too look at and told us our pictures would be ready in 3 weeks, he in fact got them back to us in 2 weeks and we are completely amazed and in love with them! We cannot thank Martin enough for helping us capture our special day with the most beautiful pictures to keep as memories

We literally dont know where to start. On your big day there is nothing more you want then those memories to last a lifetime and for those memories to be captured in the most perfect way possible. Martins photography skills tick all of those boxes.. and more. Not only were we overly impressed with the equipment, attention to detail and friendliness of Martin on the day itself, but also the lead up and the crystal clear plans that were discussed months in advance.

During our special day, Martin blended in amazingly, you hardly even noticed he was there but also at the same time; their was a friendly face smiling back at you ensuring you that everything was going great. Even our guests commented on how friendly and professional he was. Obviously we were looking forward to seeing our photos and video and When we got the final result... it left is in tears of happiness and how every special, funny, emotional, and perfect part of our day was captured and is now ours to keep forever. I cannot recommend Martins Work enough. We have not only gained memories that will last a lifetime but also somebody we can call a valued friend. Thank you so much Martin, you were something else.

What a fantastic photographer Martin is. He has the eye for detail and captured the precious moments of our day perfectly. Not only is he a great photographer he is a lovely person and blended in brilliantly with our friends and family throughout our day. Highly recommended. You won't be disappointed

We are both so delighted with the beautiful photographs that Martin took on our day! So much more precious than I ever could have imagined - he truly captured the most incredible moments and I cant stop looking at the photos and reliving the day!

Martin - from start to finish has been excellent, his kindness and humour was very reassuring on what was an eventful time leading up to the day, the morning of and the whole wedding! He put both myself and Fraser at ease throughout the day and worked so hard to create photos he knew that we would love! I would highly recommend Martin to all!

Brilliant! Martin is very professional and clearly is very good at his job. When 1st choosing a photographer we narrowed it down to 3 that we wanted to meet and knew straight away that Martin was the one for us. He didn't disappoint, he and his team were great and fitted into the day seamlessly. He sent us a few preview photos the next day whilst waiting for our final edits and they were brilliant, we're so excited to see the final result.
