How to find your perfect wedding photographer?

When to start looking for a photographer

So you just got engaged, or maybe you’ve been engaged for a while. Maybe you’ve booked your wedding venue, maybe you’ve even bought your dress and usually among those things at the top of the list is a wedding photographer. I typically get booked up to a year to 18 months in advance, so if you’re very sure about the type of photography you want it’s good to book sooner than later.

TELL ME ABOUT YOU

It’s not about me, it’s actually about us

So about us..you two and me. The type of photography I shoot is very natural and relaxed, so is this what you want? I shoot couple portraits but not in the traditional sense. This time is set aside for you to be together, relaxed and comfortable. I won’t be barking orders or telling you where to look. The whole point of the experience is for you to feel comfortable, while i’m there with you, so you can focus on each other after just becoming an excited, loving married couple.
I’ll photograph whatever happens in those moments because they’re the best memories to have.

Hi, I’m Martin, here’s a little bit of information about me. I consider myself an honorary Welshman. One of my Grandfathers was from the Swansea Valley, which I only found out when I came here for college. I was brought up with rugby at my highschool in the town of Rugby but didn’t really enjoy the game until I moved to Wales and photographed my first World Cup International in Cardiff many years later.
I met my beautiful wife in Wales and I’m proud to say that my two kids are Welsh. We all love the beach and have a passion for surfing. If you follow me on Instagram you may see my gopro surf adventures sometime.

I love capturing all the little details at weddings, especially the ones that are so personal to you, the moments you don’t see and the moments you didn’t think anybody else saw. I also see part of my job is to keep you calm, help you if I can and make you both feel at ease throughout the whole day.
I sympathise with couples trying to choose the right photographer for them. But in the end, it comes down to how you want your story told and who you trust to capture it. I’d love to talk to you about what you are looking for and how you see your day.
