Your whole
beautiful,
chaotic
day. Honestly.
No staged line-ups. No bronze/silver/gold packages. No photos that look like everyone else's. Just your actual wedding, documented as it really was.
Your wedding.
doesn't need to.
look like everyone
else's.
If you've spent time on wedding Pinterest boards wondering why everything looks the same, you're in the right place. You don't have to have the wedding that's expected of you.
The moments that will matter most in twenty years aren't the ones where everyone was standing in a straight line outside the venue. They're the ones nobody planned. The squeeze from your dad. The tears your best mate tries to hide. Your gran doing the worm at 11pm.
I'm not a fly on the wall. I'm there to celebrate with you, match your energy, and read the room. A gentle nudge when it helps, and the sense to step back when the moment is unfolding.
The whole day, from getting ready
to the last dance
WHAT GETS DOCUMENTED
A wedding day is not one moment. It's a hundred of them, happening at the same time, in different rooms, across a whole day. I document all of it. The quiet ones and the chaotic ones. The planned and the completely unexpected.
THE BEGINNING
Getting ready
The nerves, the laughter, the people who've been there from the start. This is where the day really begins.
THE MAIN EVENT
The ceremony
Every reaction. Every tear. The look you give each other that says everything that needs to be said.
THE ESCAPE
Your portraits
20 minutes away from everyone. Golden light, cold air, just the two of you. These are the ones that end up on walls.
THE CELEBRATION
Drinks and speeches
The nervous laughs, the unscripted remarks, the moment someone says something that makes the whole room lose it.
THE NIGHT
The dance floor
When everyone finally lets go. Your gran doing the worm. Your dad crying and dancing at the same time. All of it.
THE REAL STUFF
The in-between moments
The ones nobody plans for. The quiet exhale between the ceremony and the drinks reception. The look across the room.
The Martins' work absolutely speaks for itself - they do an amazing job capturing your wedding day. We had a small, intimate wedding, and they were the perfect addition to our party. All of our guests were immediately talking about how they couldn't wait to see the photos The Martins had taken - and then were blown away by the result when the photos came in. We really appreciated Christin just going with the flow, as our wedding wasn't particularly traditional, and also for the moments where they would grab us with an idea for a photo that without fail turned out to be incredible. I'm so happy we chose The Martins to photograph our wedding - they were hilarious and fun to be around and I just love our photos. I highly recommend them!
Your day doesn't need a
director.
It needs someone who reads the
room.
HOW I WORK
I'm not for everyone, and I'm completely fine with that. What I bring is energy, celebration, and a genuine investment in your day going well. I know when to step in with gentle guidance and when to step back and let the moment breathe.
The squeeze from your dad before you walk down the aisle
The tears your best mate is desperately trying to hold back
The way you look at each other when you think nobody's watching
The chaos, the laughter, the completely unscripted magic of the whole day
Every couple is different. So every wedding is different. You'll get photos that look like your day actually looked, not a polished version of it.
Let's get into it
THE QUESTIONS EVERYONE ASKS
Honest and celebratory. I'm not a silent observer lurking in the corner, I'm there to be part of your day, match your energy, and genuinely celebrate with you.
I guide gently when it helps and step back when moments unfold. The result is images that look like you two actually having the time of your lives, not a polished performance of it.

What's your photography style?
Do you do the formal family group shots?
2
Yes, if you want them. I just don't think they need to take 45 minutes and make everyone wish they'd stayed at the bar. Give me a list of the groupings that genuinely matter to you, and I'll get through them efficiently so everyone can get back to enjoying the day.
The key word is intentional. The shots you'll actually want in 20 years, not the ones you felt obligated to have.
We're in Northern Ireland, so honestly, it might. But a bit of rain on a wedding day is not a disaster, it's an atmosphere. Some of the most dramatic, beautiful wedding photos I've taken were in genuinely terrible weather.
I come prepared for everything. We'll work with whatever the day gives us, and you'll end up with photos that feel real rather than picture-perfect in a hollow way.

What happens if it rains?
Not necessarily, but it's worth considering if you have a large wedding (100+ guests), a big bridal party, or if you're getting ready in different locations that I can't be in at the same time.
A second photographer gives you simultaneous coverage of separate rooms and a completely different perspective on the same moments. It's an add-on and genuinely worth it for bigger, more complex days. We'll chat through whether it makes sense for you.

Do we need a second photographer?
How long until we get our photos?
You'll get a preview gallery within 3 days of your wedding day. Yes, really. Your full edited gallery follows after that.
I know what it's like to be desperate to see your photos after a big day. Three days is the turnaround I've built my whole process around, and it's the thing couples mention most when they're recommending me.
