Martin Hobby Full Description
I'm Martin, I probably think that I'm cooler than I actually am. I absolutely adore my family. My wife Dawn is amazing, she is also my business partner and does all the boring bits of running business that I don't like, book keeping and stuff like that. We have an 11 year old son, Ollie, he is genuinely the coolest person I know and my best mate. I shot my first wedding a long time ago, when I was juts 16 years old, along side my Dad who was also a professional wedding photographer. So it kinda runs in the blood! I love music, its on constantly in our house, and while I'm editing photos I'm often chatting to friends on Facebook about new albums that we find. I'd say my music tastes are quite eclectic, and I will listen to most things, but I am definitely an old punk at heart! We have recently moved to Holmes Chapel in Cheshire, as this is where Dawn grew up. We only moved up here from Kent/London in September 2018, but its going well so far and we are all loving the calmer pace of life. I also like rum. I'm scared of frogs. (Long story)

The best wedding photographer in the UK
Working in advertising I knew I'd be picky when it came to my wedding photographer but I knew the moment I met Martin he was perfect! The quality of his work is outstanding, I love the atmosphere and emotion he captures. His photographs are also really creative so we feel we've gained not only a set of stunning wedding photographs, but some really cool, creative artwork too! The photos speak for themselves really. On the day he was prompt, smartly dressed and virtually invisible. I have no idea how he managed to capture some of the intimate moments of our day as we honestly didn't even notice him (in a good way!) Martin made us feel at ease during our couples shots (something we were both dreading to be honest), and did a cracking job of rallying up my large, gobby northern family for the group shots. Thank you SO much Martin, you know how happy I was with the end result and service you provided. I hope many more people get to have the stress-free experience we had with you! Keep up the good work x x

Martin is an absolute star - highly recommended!
We hired Martin to photograph our wedding after seeing his portfolio online - which stood out from a lot of the more generic stuff we saw when searching for a photographer. We had a lovely pre-wedding meeting with him where he was very thorough in finding out exactly what we wanted from our wedding photographs. On the day he was an absolute legend - he did a great job of coordinating a large and rowdy bunch of guests (with a lot of patience and humour!) to get the shots we wanted, He dealt with an unexpected day of wet weather (in July!) and came up with some creative and inventive ideas to get some interesting shots despite the rain. Martin was in touch fairly soon after the wedding with a small sample selection of images and then the full collection came fairly soon after that. The final images were gorgeous and we could not have been happier with them. We would happily and highly recommend Martin to anyone looking for high quality, professional wedding photography with a bit of creative flair and fantastic customer service!
