How to pick a wedding photographer…
Find out what people whose weddings I have photographed think of the service provided by Martin Hambleton Photography. They tell you more about me, and how I work, than anything I could write.
“Hey Martin, just wanted to say thank you so much for our wedding album. It is absolutely lovely. It brings back memories of the best day ever! Thank you so much for all that you did on the day and beforehand with the pre-wed and everything. You have given us some wonderful photos which we constantly look at!”
Clare and Diego, who married at Nunsmere Hall, Cheshire
“Huge thanks to Martin for his extremely hard work, patience and fantastic eye for a shot at our wedding last Thursday. He was a pleasure to work with. The shots looked great and we can’t wait to show everyone. Thanks for helping make our day so special and for capturing all of the moments that will allow us to remember it exactly the way it was.”
Jill and Mark, who married at Peckforton Castle, Cheshire
“Dear Martin, thank you so much for being our photographer on our wedding day. We had such a perfect day and you’ve managed to capture so many treasured memories. You’ve been fantastic to work with from the start – always very efficient and attentive to our own personal needs, including the welly shots! We are now enjoying reminiscing our day by looking over and over at your photos, which truly are lovely, and can’t wait until we get our album.”
Natalie and Tim, wedding at Sandhole Oak Barn, Cheshire
“Hi Martin, I just wanted to say that both Martin and I absolutely love the album. It is beautiful! We have been showing it to everyone! The photos are really beautiful, and seeing them at a bigger scale we can see just how much detail you have captured in each one. Thank you so much. They are a stunning reminder of the day.”
Lara and Martin, wedding at Thornton Manor, the Wirral

Bethan and Simon, who married at Arley Hall, Cheshire
“Dear Martin, we just wanted to say thank you so much for all your hard work and our truly beautiful wedding album. What an amazing memory of our special day and thanks to you one we’ll never forget! We are so pleased and have been from the day we met you – we certainly made the right choice. Everything before, during and after the day has been first class and I look forward to using you again in the future – for us and our family!”
Sarah and Phil, who married at Rowton Hall, Chester, Cheshire
“A fabulous, personal service from a friendly professional photographer. Martin really captured the essence of our wedding day with beautiful, clean, modern photography. Truly stunning!”
Rachel and Bill, who married at home in St Asaph, North Wales
“Dear Martin, we just wanted to say thank you for everything you’ve done so far on our wedding photos. During the ceremony you were practically invisible which was very appreciated, yet the pictures taken are fantastic. Everyone has loved the photographs, and even those that haven’t seen them thought you were great throughout the day, as you weren’t in the way.”
Fiona and Tim, who married at The Pines, Chorley, Lancashire
“Hi Martin, just wanted to say a quick thank you for Saturday. All the pictures seemed to go really well and I didn’t really notice you for the rest of the day, which is great! We will be in touch when we get back from honeymoon; can’t wait to see the pictures!”
Charlotte and Andrew, wedding at the Quay Hotel, Conwy, North Wales
“Martin provided a professional service from start to finish and we have already recommended him to other people planning their wedding. He was fantastic at getting guests together for the group shots but was not overpowering. Guests commented on how good he was i.e. very personable with people.”
Jenny and Mark, who married at the Midland Hotel, Manchester
“We cannot recommend Martin enough. We have been given a wonderful reminder of our wedding day – you can see everyone’s personalities in the photographs together with the joy and happiness. Martin has a fabulous talent for capturing everything you want. He and Rachel are great people to work with and you totally forget they are there – which is a compliment! We can only hope that they enjoyed the day as much as we enjoyed having them there. We now have the difficult job of choosing our album from the most amazing photos. Thank you so very much for everything!”
Georgina and Shea, wedding at Capesthorne Hall, Cheshire
“From the first day we met Martin he was approachable, professional and instantly put us at our ease. His eye, attention to detail and ability to ‘capture the moment’ has given us an album of magical memories. It has taken us over a year to choose the picture for our album as we loved them all. Martin’s endless time and effort has ensured we have the album of our dreams – one we are so grateful for.”
Allysa and Andy, married at Arley Hall, Cheshire
“The photos really captured the sense of the day – but you were an extremely unobtrusive part of it. You listened to what we wanted before the wedding – and you always made yourself available on the mobile (an important feature in wedding planning!). We felt we really trusted you to deliver some beautiful and tasteful photos – and now we’ll really treasure them.”
Sally and Luis, married at home, Bowdon, Cheshire
“Dear Martin, our album arrived this morning. Thanks so much for all your hard work – it looks wonderful and is a fantastic memory of a really happy day.”
Ishbel and Rob, married at Beningbrough Hall, North Yorkshire
“Martin did exactly what we wanted, telling the story of the day in pictures. A lot of guests did not even know he was there, which was what we wanted. The photographs were everything we expected and more. Martin is certainly a photographer we would highly recommend to anybody.”
Sarah and Rob, married at Sandhole Oak Barn, Cheshire

“Very professional organised service, both before and after the wedding. Extremely discreet and friendly to guests on the wedding day. Each time we look at the photos we are transported back to our special day.”
Fiona and Tim, married at home in Greenfield, Manchester
“We found the service to be outstanding – a very personal service with thought, good planning and attention to detail. There wasn’t a bad photo amongst the proofs we received, which made choosing our album extremely difficult! You were recommended to us and we would have no hesitation in recommending you in turn. Thank you.”
Donna and Rick, married at Haighton Manor, Preston, Lancashire
“Martin, thanks for capturing our wedding day in photographs. Throughout our dealing we liked your relaxed and personable approach, your time and ability to explain details in a simplistic way and your overall passion and enthusiasm for photography … Overall, we have been impressed with your photography service and would not hesitate in recommending you to any other couple wanting to capture their wedding day.”
Helen and Steve, who married at Rookery Hall, Cheshire
