Calming Presence 

As a photographer you are the central point through the entire wedding day. It is important to be calm, clear and in control. The ability to read a room is a must, to be silent when needed, to make people laugh to ease the nerves and to make no one feel rushed yet at the same time to move the day seamlessly on. Marty prides himself on being everywhere at once yet almost invisible through the entire day.

Understanding The Couple

Knowing the couple well is a key to creating the wedding day visuals that reflects the personalities and wishes of the happy couple. This is why Marty likes to meet in person, preferably at least twice to get to know who exactly is getting married, their sense of humour, the style of visuals preferred and any specific requests before during and after.

Marty also ensures that he is familiar with the venue, to understand the best angles on the ground and in the air, to scout local landmarks and to understand the options in the event of inclement weather. 

Marty offers 3 services in 1 to capture your special day, making Rustic Weddings cost effective whilst ensuring the services offered are consistent in quality and in keeping with the couples requirements. These services are:

Wedding Photography

Marty has photographed over a dozen weddings and likes to get to know the couple through at least two meetings before the wedding day to ensure that he understands the requirements on the day, the venue and more importantly the two personalities involved as well.  

Marty works smoothly, quickly and is the quiet conductor, orchestrating the many segments on the wedding day to ensure that no opportunity is missed to get that great shot. 

All images come professionally edited and enhanced in a digital form, within 7-14 days of the wedding with 3-4 images sent to the couple within 24 hours. Photo Albums are available upon request.

Wedding Video Montage

The video montage is an excellent way to get a sense, feel and the emotion for the big day whilst watching a succinct, elegant and cinematic short video of the best aspects of the wedding.

Typically 2-4 minutes long, a video montage, set to complimentary music with key speech overlays are a fantastic way to showcase your day to family and friends in a timely and easily shareable way. 

Marty’s video edited skills are brilliantly used to condense a whole day into a short 4K film that will last for generations to come.

Wedding Dronography

What better way to capture the whole day, surrounded by rolling hills, vineyards and beautiful wildlife than from the most glorious viewpoint.

Enhancing both the Photography and Video Montage, Marty’s exceptional drone piloting skills will result in the finished footage having a WOW factor. Whether you are walking down the aisle of a vineyard or stood on an upper level balcony, the professional drone can capture parts of your day that will take your breath away.
