What is a
‘documentary-led’ approach?

It means that for around 90 percent of the day, I work quietly in the background, capturing events as they happen without constant interruptions or falsely staging moments. I genuinely believe that the laughter, the emotion, the little glances and unexpected moments are often the ones that matter most. In 2024, I was recognised as one of the top 10 documentary wedding photographers in the UK, which shows that I don’t just talk about capturing real moments. I actually deliver on it.

Natural, Stylish Portraits

(& a few family photos)

I know how important it is to get a few stunning photos of the two of you looking your best, along with the family shots that’ll make your nan’s day. We make time for them, of course, but I keep it quick so you can get back to the party. I’ve won several prestigious awards for my portrait work, so whether it’s golden hour magic or a classic group photo, you can be confident we’ll get something special. At the end of the day, I want you to remember celebrating with your favourite people, not standing around waiting for the camera.

“Martin is everything you need from a wedding photographer”

– Madie & Sam

What’s it Like to Have Me at Your Wedding?

I’ve already mentioned that my style is mostly documentary with a few beautiful portraits. But what’s it actually like having ME there on the day?

Well, I give 100 percent from start to finish. I instinctively know when to step in and when to stay out of the way. I stay calm even if things run late or plans change. I’ll dad dance once the party gets going and if Sweet Caroline or Mr Brightside comes on, don’t be surprised if I’m belting it out along with you!

I want you to feel like I’m just one more guest. Someone who yes, is taking photos but also fits right in. That way, people relax, moments happen and your day feels easy and effortless.

From start to finish, the experience was incredible

“Martin was so relaxed and unobtrusive. We barely even noticed he was there most of the day. He captured everything in such a natural, unstaged way, and every single photo reflects that relaxed vibe we were hoping for.”
Bethany & Bryce

We can’t recommend Martin enough!

“Martin photographed our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made!
From start to finish Martin was amazing! Martin captured our day perfectly, with his creativity and experience the photos were everything and more we could have imagined!”

Wedding Films That Tell a Beautiful Story

My wife, Daiga, is one of the UK’s top wedding videographers. Together, we have captured hundreds of weddings. Like me, her style is very documentary and she’s brilliant at crafting films that actually tell a story. Not just a collection of random clips set to music but something that makes sense from start to finish.

Click play to watch one of her cinematic films. It’s the perfect way to see how photography and video can work together beautifully when it’s done with care, experience and a shared vision.
