We had Martin for our Photography and Drew for our Videography. They were both professional and easy to get a long with and really nice guys. We had such a laugh on our wedding day and to be fair most of the time I didn't even know they were there. Our photos arrived via email a week after our wedding and we love them. The quality is amazing and I like the way they are different and quirky for some of the pics.

I highly recommend Martin if you are looking for amazing photos. 5* rating from me. 😁

Paid upfront. Wedding album was included in the package we paid for. Wedding was in 2019. Chased them up so many times. First got told Covid was delaying everything. Ok fine. So many emails sent months later. No response. Then finally got a response. Told it’s too late , they’ve been archived so I have to pay for them to come out of archive. Not fine. Persisted. Told I had to re choose my photos for the album. I did. Told they couldn’t accept it from gmail as there could be a virus. My husband who works in this field told them there was no virus. Now no response. FIVE YEARS LATER! Awful people. Awful company. Don’t use them!

We used Martin James as our wedding photographers and videographers in May 2023 - Martin and his team were very friendly and professional on the day. Martin was also very friendly for our engagement shoot and in our video call prior to the wedding.

Unfortunately a few things happened after our wedding which let the service down:
- Some of our main family photos that we had asked for prior to our wedding day, not everyone was looking at the camera in the photo/ blinking. We had asked if two photos could be merged together (along with a couple of other small touch ups) and were told by Martin's admin Kenneth it would cost £300 extra to do this. Instead we got a free photoshop trial and fixed this ourselves in less than an hour. It would have been nice for the professionals to have helped with this with a more reflective price of how much time it would've taken them to fix.
- All communication with Kenneth (99% of our communication was through him) was painfully slow, he did not answer all our questions and we had to keep repeating ourselves in follow-up emails.
- We had to keep chasing when we were going to get our wedding album and were assured this would be ready for delivery in 'early 2024' - from December onwards our emails got ignored.
-After being ignored for weeks in a row, in February we CC'd multiple people in (we were never able to get hold of anyone on their contact number on the emails), Kenneth advised us that they've relocated to Dubai, their previous wedding album supplier is no longer available so they were refunding our wedding album order.
- We waited over 9 months for a wedding album, if we hadn't repeatedly chased this we doubt we would have heard back.

For such a special and important day to us it was really disappointing that they were unable to fulfil their commitments - had they been more responsive to emails we feel we would have got our wedding album in time.

Update 29/4/24

We reached out to Martin James to discuss our free wedding album - over the past 3 weeks we’ve sent 4 emails on 2 different accounts but have had no reply.

We had already selected our photos and details for our wedding album months ago so we are not sure why they needed us to reach out to them, they could have made our album based on our previous information.

We managed to communicate with them since March 2022 and this is the first time we’ve been told our emails have gone to spam.

We have also not received any 'gifts' that Kenneth had mentioned in his response.

Thank you, Martin, for helping us relive our wedding day through your lens. Your work is simply extraordinary, and we are forever grateful for the cherished memories you have provided us.

Martin is an amazing photographer, he got to know us before our wedding so we felt really comfortable with him on the day. On the morning of our wedding he took some stunning pictures without us really knowing he was there. He also gave us lots of advice on timings before the day and also on the morning of the wedding with regard to what order to get ready and when to be ready for whereas our venue were pretty useless at that sort of thing. Martin knew we were going on honeymoon for 3 weeks the week after our wedding so he made the effort to have all our photos edited and back to us digitally before we went. Since our wedding I have recommended Martin to 3 friends who are currently planning weddings as we have so much faith and confidence in him and were so pleased with our choice of photography from both a personal and professional point of view.

Martin, your stunning photography is breathtaking! So many family and friends keep saying how they’re the most beautiful photos they have ever seen and what a pleasure you were to be around, all everybody wanted to do was buy you a drink! You have captured our perfect day for us to relive forever. We can’t thank you enough for everything you did for us, from keeping me calm at that ‘get the frock on’ stage, your invisible presence at the Church, the easy breezy formals to the extra special shoot at the Priory. Thank you.
