Real Moments, Stunning Portraits

fun, unobtrusive wedding photography in nottingham and beyond

Hi, I’m martin

This is the bit where I tell you that I’m an award winning Nottingham wedding photographer who is going to blow your socks off with amazing photos! But getting beautiful photos is a given right?

I believe that your wedding day should be unforgettable—a party your friends and family will be talking about for years to come. My goal is quite simple. To give you a gallery stuffed full of images that show the world what really happened along with some portraits of you both that you’ll want to hang on your wall.

With over twelve years of experience photographing weddings across the East Midlands, I’ve had the honour of being named one of the UK’s Top 10 documentary wedding photographers in 2024. Add to that over 120 5-star Google reviews from happy clients and trust me, you’re in safe hands!

Instead my camera will give a unique glimpse into all those special moments that make up YOUR big day. From happy families gathering for pics, to stunning portraits you’ll hang on the wall. I’ll be there to capture all of them.

Your day, Your Way

I want you to enjoy every second of your wedding day, with plenty of time to laugh, cry, dance, and soak it all in with your family and friends. After all, I can’t capture authentic, natural photos if you’re not having a great time.

That’s why I focus on creating a relaxed experience for you. In the next section, I’ll share exactly how I approach wedding photography and what you can expect from me. From the way I blend into your day to the moments I look for. My goal is simply to deliver a collection of photos that you will LOVE!

Read on to find out how I make that happen!

my approach in a nutshell…

All you need to worry about is enjoying your wedding day! I’ll be there like a camera toting ninja, silently taking photos without disrupting or staging moments.

family photos

Getting your family all dressed up and in one spot for a photo gathering is no easy task, but I’m here to help make it as stress-free an event as possible! While natural photos are always preferred, I totally get that every family needs a few of those classic portraits with everyone looking spiffy on their mantlepiece. So let’s keep granny happy too!

When it comes to your wedding day, I just need about 15 minutes to make you look fantastic. Don’t worry though, I won’t be asking you to pull off the latest TikTok dance challenge or pose like models. All I want is to capture the natural fun, laughter, and connection between you both.

Your big day deserves the best of everything—especially the photos! With over a decade of experience capturing weddings, I’ve worked at the finest venues across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.

I know these venues like the back of my hand, including all the best spots to capture those epic pictures that will transport you back to your wedding day for years to come.
