Martin Sylvester Photography

I came across Martin, through Couture Wedding Films, on hitched as a top recommended photography service, from the minute I clicked on them I absolutely loved his work. What struck me was the effortless, natural and in-the-moment style of photography, in addition to the editing style of his pics it was just what I was looking for! When I met him he was so down to earth, listened to everything I had to say (even though I left most of it to him as the expert) I was amazed by how many extravagant ideas he could come up with having just met me & my husband and only knowing the main details of my wedding. As a result he made my photos the best they could possibly be! I 100% recommend this guy, he is so talented and will make whatever your occasion look even more incredible than it is in real life. Very approachable and promptly answers any question you may have. He captured every detail beautifully but without you even noticing – resulting in the best photographs!

Martin it was an honour to have you with us on our special day capturing moments that we would have easily missed or forgotten. The quality of his work was excellent and he was so accommodating i.e. me running late by 45min and things not panning out as expected at times. Absolutely loved his work; before, after and on our actual wedding day. You did an amazing job and cannot recommend you enough!

Your wedding day is one of the most special days in your life… It was incredibly important to us that we captured it in a way that reminded us just how magical the whole event was. We organised an introductory meeting in a convenient location with chief photographer Martin. To say we immediately felt at ease would be an understatement- from the moment introductions were made we knew we were in safe hands. I was amazed that part of the process was a pre- wedding shoot day – this was designed so we could get used to working with Martin and so we could feel comfortable on our big day. We spent the afternoon and much of the evening on site having photos in various locations and soon got used to Martin’s style. I was utterly amazed at Martin’s attention to detail and commitment despite arctic temperatures. What Martin can’t do with a camera simply isn’t worth knowing. 5 days or so later we received the shoot photos. We were so happy with what we received. My wife has never had a problem looking amazing in photos, what amazed me was I looked pretty good too, he is truly a magician. For the wedding the whole day went off without a hitch. Martin was an utter pleasure to deal with and he really took the stress out of the logistics of herding family and friends into various positions. We are now in possession of the images in a custom wooden USB and a beautiful photo album. It’s a wonderful thing to be able to share with our family and friends. Thanks to Martin, it’s something we’ll be able to treasure forever. So thank you I really can’t recommend you enough!

Our favourite aspect of the photos Martin took for us is how intimately they capture each moment, from the pre-ceremony anticipation through to the elation and joy of the reception. The photos bring us back into the memories and emotions of the day. And he manages this while staying out of the action, catching the genuine mood of our guests. Out of the countless decisions to be made in preparation for our wedding day, making the right choice on how you will remember it is possibly the most important. We are glad to have chosen Martin to entrust with that responsibility and he could not have pulled it off any better!
