I honestly can't put into words how much having Martelle photograph at our wedding meant to us. Both Martin & Ellen are so wonderful! I genuinely can't recommend them enough. Both me and my husband, our friends and our family love our photos, they are just stunning - the attention to detail, the editing and the moments captured are just incredible. I'm so so thankful we met you, thank you so much again! Xx

We had the pleasure of using Martelle Photography for our wedding at Bestwood Lodge. From the pre shoot prior to the wedding to the actual day they kept everyone relaxed and produced some innovative photograph opportunities for us to remember our special day. Both Martin and Ellen have fabulous personalities and put you at ease straight away and make sure you enjoy your day. Thank you so much and looking forward to the final shots

We were so pleased that we chose Martelle to photograph our wedding. They were extremely professional in all cases--always responsive and communicative, they were flexible in dealing with anything that happened on the day, and they were fun to be around. My husband and I felt so comfortable with them, and the images are gorgeous! Everyone is so impressed with our slideshow DVD. Can't recommend them highly enough.
