Martin Cheung Photography Full Description

For Couples Who Want More Than Just Photos

Your wedding day is full of real, unrepeatable moments and the kind of images that last a lifetime deserve more than someone pointing a camera at you. With over 12 years of experience photographing weddings across the UK and internationally, I work quietly in the background, letting your day breathe while I tell the story of it honestly and beautifully.

Documentary at Heart with an Editorial Edge

My approach is rooted in documentary storytelling. I am there to capture everything as it unfolds, the glances, the laughter, the tears and the chaos of getting ready. When it comes to portraits I bring an editorial eye that gives your images the kind of polish you see in the pages of a high-end wedding publication. The result is a gallery that feels both alive and timeless.

A Seamless, Considered Experience

From our first conversation to the moment your final gallery lands in your inbox, the experience is designed to feel effortless. Most couples tell me they barely knew I was there. That is exactly how it should be. Sneak peek images typically arrive within 24 hours and your full gallery is delivered with care, typically within three to four weeks.

Two Storytellers, One Shared Vision

I work alongside my wife Daiga, an exceptionally talented wedding videographer, to offer photography and videography as a single cohesive package. No strangers awkwardly working together on the day. No clashing styles. Just two people who know each other's creative instincts inside out, making sure your day is covered beautifully from every angle.

Packages are tailored to each couple and cover everything from preparations through to the first dance, with options for a second photographer, luxury albums and pre-wedding shoots.

The BEST photographer
TLDR- Personality 10/10 Professionalism 10/10 Product 10/10 This will be a long review and I’m not sorry. Martin should be everybody’s wedding photographer. Martin was a pleasure to be around all day. It was honestly like having an assistant all day. When getting ready, somebody knock at the door? “I’ll get it” Martin says within about 1 second. Missing button hole? “I’ll find it”. Don’t know what to do with your phone? “I’ll carry it”. Nothing was too much for Martin, while I was getting ready in the morning I felt SO looked after. He even attached my grandads button hole because none of us knew how. Martin has such a good vibe, most of the time you don’t see him running about getting photos of every single detail, but for the time you get to spend with him, it’s an absolute pleasure, he’s so funny and friendly, he got along with everybody SO well, before we even got our pictures back our friends have hinted that they want to hire him for their weddings! We even asked him to take a selfie with us because we couldn’t handle not having some evidence that he was there. It was brilliant having him be part of our day and honestly a downer that we might not ever see him again! We’ve already started thinking up excuses to hire him for something else.. He leant into everything that was ‘us’ too. Running joke that I always drink monster? Best have a picture drinking one. Morbidly funny people, best have a deadpan picture. Highly competitive, best have a picture of us thrashing eachother at cornhole. I mentioned that I was changing my outfit a bit after dinner so we got a whole photoshoot before the meal and again after I’d changed my outfit so we have loads of perfect pictures. He captured every detail, the confetti, our artist, the table signs. We were toying with keeping our signs etc but we don’t feel we need a packed loft when we have perfect photos of every detail to remember. He dealt with more difficult guests (namely a hobby photographer who of course wanted to be involved) with absolute grace and patience. Not even a hint of being frustrated. He worked with my videographer so well that a few of my guests thought they’d been working together for years and we’d hired them as a pair.. they had never met! If we didn’t know what to do, Martin would organise for us. I wanted a confetti shot so Martin rounded everybody up, our cake was falling over so we did the cake cutting photos early, he knew the venue better than we did so we could follow him to all the best bits. He directed his second photographer to make sure my dress was always in the perfect position. But we always felt in charge, we wanted an extra picture? No problem. Somebody else wanted an extra picture with us? Martin asked us if it was okay. And god the photos. There’s more photos than I could have imagined. You get a bit of a blur after the wedding is over where you want is to relive every second but can’t remember most of it. But Martin truly captured every moment and detail so beautifully. There’s so many beautiful candid photos of me and my husband laughing, you can feel the joy through the photos. There are silly ones, there are candid ones, there’s at least one of every guest, there’s ones of every detail, there’s dramatic ones and posed ones and scenic ones. We got the first 20 photos less than 24 hours before the ceremony even started. Weddings are expensive, but given the photos we’ve received and the experience we had thanks to Martin, I honestly think he’s undercharging.

The best team!
Choosing Martin and Daiga as our wedding photographer and videographer was one of the best decisions we made. Martin’s knowledge of the venue was outstanding, and he knew exactly where to take us to make the most of the surroundings and lighting. What we appreciated most was how well he listened to our ideas and vision for the day while also offering his own expert advice and suggestions. Their guidance was always helpful and never overbearing, helping us achieve photos that felt authentic to us. Combined with their friendly nature and professionalism, they made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable from start to finish.

Martin is the best!
Martin is the perfect wedding photographer. He’s incredibly talented, hard working, and an all-round lovely guy. Always communicative, organised, and accommodating, he took great care in getting to know us and what we wanted from the day. We’re not big into having photos of ourselves but you wouldn’t know it from our wedding album - it’s truly stunning with the perfect balance of posed photos and candid shots of us and our guests which was exactly what we wanted. Martin always seems to be in the right place at the right time and has such a great eye for capturing fleeting moments; he’s so good at what he does. We couldn’t recommend him more highly. Thank you so much, Martin!

MARTIN WAS FANTASTIC!!
We booked Martin as our wedding photographer for April 2026 and he was fantastic! Him and Mel (second photographer booked through Martin) were professional, efficient and very easy to work with! As a couple who aren't a fan of being in front of the camera, they made us feel very at ease and comfortable throughout the day and were organised, knowledgeable of the day and the venue and a brilliant addition. We really couldn't recommend Martin and his team highly enough! Thank you!

The most beautiful wedding photos
We used Martin for our photography for our wedding last Friday. From start to finish he was amazing and made us feel so comfortable. We received preview photos the very next morning and they are all stunning. We are absolutely over the moon with them and they are beautiful memories. I will be recommending Martin to all our friends and family

Can’t recommend Martin enough
Martin was amazing from the moment we got in touch. His energy throughout the day was amazing but also had a calm about him which made me feel like everything was under control. He was so patient and hard working and we appreciated everything he did for us on the day. His work is amazing and captured so many amazing pictures. Thank you for everything!

Captured Every Perfect Moment
We’re so pleased with our wedding photos! Every moment, from our arrival to the first dance, was captured so naturally and beautifully. The sparkler shot was a real highlight, it looked absolutely incredible. Thank you for capturing our day so perfectly. We’d highly recommend!

Best Wedding Photographer!
Having Martin photograph our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. From start to finish, he was friendly, professional, and completely at ease, which made the whole day even more enjoyable. He knew exactly how to capture everything we wanted without ever making it feel forced, and the results honestly blew us away. The photos are better than we could have imagined, and it was truly special having Martin as part of our day. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer, thanks so much, Martin!

Great wedding photographer!
Martin was lovely, friendly and funny. Right from the first meeting, to messages on the build up, and on the day, he made us feel at ease. He knew our wedding venue Hazel Gap so well. He made a point to learn the names of our nearest and dearest. He listened to what we wanted as well as adding in his own expertise. We got a fabulous selection of previews the next day, then our full album back 3 weeks later (so fast!). So many of our guests have commented how talented Martin is- and we love the photos! Martin joined in with the party in the evening and we all had a great day. Thank you Martin!

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Honestly, I could probably fill a book with memorable moments from over a decade of weddings. But if I had to pick one it would be my own. Because it taught me something I carry into every wedding I photograph. It went by in an absolute flash. One minute we were getting ready and the next it was done. If it were not for the photos I would be convinced I dreamed the whole thing.

That experience is genuinely why I do what I do. Your wedding day moves faster than you expect and my job is to slow it down for you. Not by interrupting it but by being present enough to catch everything worth keeping.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

  1. Natural
  2. Unobtrusive
  3. Editorial
  4. Emotive
  5. Timeless

What about your business are you most proud of?

Two things stand out and I genuinely cannot separate them.

The first is that my wife Daiga joined the business as our videographer. Having someone I trust completely by my side on the most important days of our clients' lives has changed everything about how we work and what we can offer.

The second is that every year more than 50 couples choose us to tell the story of their wedding day. After over a decade in this industry that still means everything to me. The fact that people trust us with something so irreplaceable never feels ordinary.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Steal ten minutes together. Seriously. At some point during your wedding day, whenever you can, take ten minutes completely alone together. No guests. No photographer. Just the two of you.

Every couple I have ever spoken to after their wedding says the day went by faster than they ever imagined. Those ten minutes of stillness in the middle of the chaos are the ones they remember most clearly. Everything else is a beautiful blur.

As a photographer I will always try to build that moment into your day naturally. But even if I did not exist, I would still tell you to do it.


What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

A genuinely well written speech. Where the words clearly came from the heart rather than the first page of Google results. And jokes that manage to be funny without making your grandmother uncomfortable.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

I keep things relaxed and stress-free from the moment you book.  I am always available by WhatsApp if something comes up but I will never flood your inbox or make the lead-up to your wedding feel like pointless admin.

As your day gets closer we will have a proper pre-wedding conversation to go through timings, the family members I need to know about and anything else that helps everything run smoothly on the day.

On the day itself your only job is to be present and enjoy every moment. I will work quietly in the background and take care of everything else.

What is the No.1 photo that you think every couple should take?

As much as I love the candid unscripted moments there is one image I will always make sure we get. A proper portrait of the two of you, looking straight down the lens, genuinely smiling.

It sounds simple and it is. But it is also the one your grandmother will want framed on her wall and honestly she has been waiting a long time for this day so let's make sure she gets it.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Rain is practically a British wedding tradition so do not let it worry you for a second. Some of my favourite images have come from wet days. There is a mood and atmosphere to rainy weather that bright sunshine simply cannot replicate.

My advice is to embrace it, enjoy yourselves and leave the rest to me. I have shot in every condition imaginable and more often than not the rain ends up being the thing that makes the images truly memorable.

Describe how you got into photography.

There was a definite lightbulb moment. I was at a wedding as a guest and something just clicked. Not the camera. Something in me. It sounds like a cliché but it really was exactly like that.

I loved everything about it. The chaos, the fun and the love all happening at once in the same room. I decided there and then to enter the world of wedding photography and have never looked back.
