Where People and Property are our Passion
At Martin Hartley Photography, we're passionate about capturing the beauty and joy of your special day. As a professional Bristol wedding photographer, I've had the privilege of working with amazing couples from all walks of life, and I'm committed to delivering high-quality, candid, and natural wedding photography that tells the story of your love and celebration.
My Approach
My approach is all about you. I believe that your wedding day is about enjoying every moment with your loved ones, and I'm here to capture those moments in a relaxed, candid, and unobtrusive way. I'll blend into the background, letting you get on with having the time of your life, while I focus on capturing the laughter, tears, and memories that make your wedding day truly unforgettable.
My Story
I've been a wedding photographer in Bristol for over a decade, and I've had the privilege of capturing over 400 weddings in the UK and abroad. My journey began while backpacking in Mexico, where I photographed a friend's wedding, and from there, my passion for storytelling through photography grew. I've been recommended by some of the best South-West wedding venues and am proud to be a member of prestigious photography associations.
Why Bristol?
I moved to Bristol over a decade ago, and I fell in love with this vibrant, colourful, and culturally rich city. As a Bristol wedding photographer, I appreciate the city's unique blend of urban and countryside landscapes, offering endless opportunities for stunning wedding photography. From the historic harbour to the picturesque countryside, Bristol is a city that has something for everyone.
