My Best of 2025...
3 minutes of storytelling moments and epic portraits from last year which summarise my style perfectly.
Hi, I’m Martin and thanks for stopping by! I'm a Devoted husband, and girl-dad to three. NUFC fanatic, Game of Thrones lover, and a multi award-winning Hampshire wedding photographer working all over the UK.
As your wedding photographer I want you to remember the day as it happened. The taste of the champagne, the subtle glances to one another as you say 'I do' and the laughter you shared with your guests. My storytelling style of photography will give you a collection of natural, uninterrupted moments to remember your day as it happened. No going off for hours having lots of photographs, with your guests wondering where you are. For 90% of the day you will be immersed in all the crazy emotions the day will bring.
We will get the family photos you want and these will be done quickly so you can get back to celebrating with your favourite people.
We will also set aside some time, roughly 20-30 minutes, to get some exceptional photos of the two of you in the most incredible light at both day and night.
For me it is so important that your story is told through your wedding photographs, and that you are there to enjoy every moment. Because for me, that’s how wedding photography should be…
A collection of photos to sit alongside your memories.
Photos that transport you back to the day every time you look at them and fill you with that *just married* feeling for many years to come.
Authentic memories inspired by you...
That feeling of looking through the crowd on the dancefloor; or laughing with your friends. Seeing that smile, hearing that song, squeezing that hand.
Natural, emotive, colourful photos that transport you back to the moment, and pull you in.
I won't just capture your wedding the way it looked, I capture the real essence of how it felt to be there.
Natural photos that capture how it actually felt to be at your wedding…
"The photos are STUNNING!!! They have perfectly captured the energy of our wedding day!!"
"Martin was the best wedding photographer with incredible customer service - he exceeded all of our expectations and then some"

"Martin really is worth every penny and we fully understand why he is at the very top of his industry. He is a must for your big day - the very best around!!"
For me it is so important that your story is told through your wedding photographs, and that you are there to enjoy every moment.
So as your wedding photographer, I’ll blend in, read the room, and give you space. You’ll be able to make more memories together, and get wrapped-up in every moment - have fun, drink, dance, be silly, be yourselves.
Mingling will be actively encouraged!
And above all else, your experience will always come first.
Photos that capture the real essence of your wedding...
It’s probably a funny thing to say, but I hope you don’t remember me very much…
I don’t want you to remember smiling for the camera, or moving from pose to pose. And I don’t want you to remember talking to me more than your friends.
I want you to remember the conversations you had.
The taste of champagne, the sound of people laughing, the sight of your best friend tearing up during your vows. All of it.
Documentary wedding photography producing photos that feel like yours
For 90% of the day I will be your eyes,
capturing all the little moments that make your day unique,
moments that truly tell the story of your wedding day.
From the first time your parents see you in your dress, to the crazy uncle strutting his stuff on the dance floor...
and all the wonderful moments in between.
We'll capture the group photos with your favourite people that you want
and allow time to get some exceptional portraits of the two of you in both day and night
and always making sure that your story is told perfectly.
If this sounds like the Hampshire photographer you have been looking for, get in touch to see if I am available for your wedding day.
