Martin Bell Photography

Martin was fantastic to have with us on our day. He has produced some absolutely wonderful photos of our wedding day. He was very thoughtful, aware and firm when needed. He created and captured some very special memories.He was authoritative when he needed to be, but also patient and helpful when getting naturally candid photos. We aren’t good at posing but he made us feel at ease throughout the day and helped us without problem! Martin was on time and helped make sure everyone else was on track too.Martin sent us our highlights while on honeymoon, we were very impressed with the speediness!We have had so many comments from friends and family about how good he was. Thank you again Martin for your work!

Amazing photos that really captured our day. Martins attention to detail is like no other. Wouldn’t even know he was there, just blended in with our guests. Can’t thank him enough for this great work.

I can’t quite express in words how absolutely wonderful Martin is! The photos from our wedding day are incredible, we had high expectations having seen Martin’s gorgeous portfolio and some of the stunning photos on his website but when we saw our photos were absolutely BLOWN AWAY!! I can’t actually articulate how beautiful and perfect the photos are as no words would do them justice. Martin captured some truly magical and captivating moments and we will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives!Martin was an absolute joy to have with us on our special day and he helped make the wedding day perfect, he is a very kind, thoughtful and calm person and exactly the type of person you want helping you through your wedding day! Martin truly connects with his wedding couples on a personal level and goes above and beyond to make your vision a reality. I truly believe that Martin was an integral part of our wedding day and without him things wouldn’t have gone as smoothly or perfectly as they did so a huge thank you to Martin for not only the beautiful photographs he takes but also the effort and hard work he puts into the running of the day!We were very pleasantly surprised (as were our guests and family!) by the quick turnaround in receiving the first photo highlights which were sent as a slideshow to music and honestly after watching it on loop over and over for about 3 hours (because it was THAT beautiful) my face was sore from smiling too much! I’ve had so many compliments on the photos. The rain in the evening was also a blessing in disguise because Martin turned the rain into a picturesque fairytale moment with his gorgeous rain shots!I highly highly recommend Martin to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer

Martin could not have made us feel more comfortable whilst capturing our big day last month. Within two weeks of our wedding we had over 100 photos of our special day sent to us in slideshow format which we were able to share with our family and friends. The photos we have so far perfectly capture key moments at every part of our day and we are SO pleased with them. Martin is so professional, friendly and organised, would highly recommend to anyone.

We cannot thank Martin enough for the absolutely incredible photos he has produced from our wedding day, but especially for how thoughtful, attentive and subtle he was on the day. Martin managed to capture every special moment and even ones we missed.He was authoritative when he needed to be for group photos, subtle when we wanted to get those natural ones, and he made us feel so at ease throughout the whole day. Martin smashed his timings, and is so incredibly efficient, not missing a single moment. It was like having a second wedding coordinator!3 days after our wedding we received a 9-minute video of the best snaps and we were just blown away!We have had so many comments from friends and family who said he is the best they’ve ever seen and we cannot put into words how grateful we are for these lasting memories.

The way Martin handled our wedding photography from start to finish totally exceed all our expectations and his pictures have absolutely blown us away!!I genuinely cannot express enough just how fantastic Martin is, and how thankful & grateful we were to have him as of part of our special day. With his gentle presence, and his experience, skills and knowledge for his craft, he really did help to make the day run smoother, and our pictures are absolutely stunning!The whole process from initial introductions (we saw him at a wedding fair), to wedding day, all contact and updates before and after, have been both seamless and highly professional. We moved our wedding date twice and location once due to covid setbacks and Martin was extremely understanding, helpful and accommodating. Martin really listened to what we wanted, he understood the style of pictures we were after and he was extremely mindful and considerate of this on the day, ensuring our pictures came out exactly as we had asked for. Everyone at our wedding has comment on how polite, friendly, and professional Martin was, they have also commented that Martin wasn’t in anyway intrusive and most of the time they didn’t even realise he was there or taking photos of them. Martin is absolutely fantastic, we genuinely cannot recommend him highly enough!

Martin captured beautiful photos of our wedding despite difficult weather conditions. He knew our venue and the staff there well and he continuously involved us in decisions during the day. His thoughtfulness and hard work mean that we have really special pictures that we will treasure. We couldn't recommend him more highly.

Martin was simply amazing. He was a calming and relaxing influence throughout the day, kept us on track and made sure the day went smoothly. It was like having a friend to guide us through the day. Adrian and I were both nervous before the wedding about being the centre of attention, but Martin made smiling for photographs so easy and natural. The photos Martin took captured the whole day perfectly from the morning to the evening. He is so professional and all our guests commented on how good he was. Thank you Martin - we are so happy that we found you.

Where to start! The previous reviews speak volumes of Martin's talent and ability to capture those magical moments, but for us he went beyond this. Two weeks before our wedding, our church ( next to our home) was unexpectedly covered in scaffolding and boards. A lot of the wedding photo plans were thrown in to the air and as you will imagine, we were distraught. Martin however, diligently appeared for a second pre wedding visit and we looked on as he quietly reinvented" the church backdrop and opened our eyes to a different way of seeing the beautiful building. He shared our problem

Martin captured our wedding in May and having him as our photographer was the best decision we made regarding our special day. He was so friendly and relaxed and helped everyone to feel at ease. He gave clear but simple direction for those posing for a photo but also managed to get so many great natural shots of our guests. We’re so pleased with every photo and everyone keeps saying how amazing they all are. I love that we can look back and replay the whole day picture by picture.
