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.

Our wedding day
When we was looking for a photographer for our wedding one of our family members recommended Martin and we could not be happier that they did. Martin was fantastic on the day and got all the shots that we wanted and more. From the finer details to the more natural photos with help from his colleague Mel they captured the magic of our big day. Would 100% recommend Martin to anyone whos looking for a photographer.

Our Perfect Wedding Day
Martin was absolutely fantastic throughout our wedding planning and on the big day. We had seen Martin’s photography on Instagram and we loved the way he captured all the personal moments, as well as the big family photos. His advice was amazing and really helped us as we weren’t super confident about having photos taken prior to the wedding. We wanted ‘in the moment’ photos, rather than the same old staged pictures you see of weddings all the time and that’s exactly what we got!! Martin and Daiga were so friendly and fun - our guests commented on how organised and clear they were on capturing the day. I would recommend Martin as your wedding photographer without any hesitation. Thank you so much!!!!!

Gorgeous photos and creative ideas
Even though our wedding got rained out and we were married indoors instead of our originally planned spot, Martin was a creative genius with how he captured our day. We still got all of the couple’s portraits, family photos, a large group shot, and pictures of the fun throughout the day. Our backgrounds included inside the venue as well as numerous spots outside. We could tell how much he cared about us having a day (and lots of photographs) to remember!

Martin was brilliant! More than just a photographer, Martin really is the full package. His communication and professionalism is second to none and our wedding went so much smoother with him there to guide us through the day. Honestly, you won't be disappointed when you choose Martin as your photographer!

Martin is AMAZING!
Well where do I even begin? Martin was truly amazing on our wedding day, he really managed to capture every detail we wanted and more. He had to deal with some unfortunate weather but he always remained positive. He kept us updated throughout the day with the plans of the photos we wanted to capture and even the weather tried to stop us he got every single one. He was great with our daughter, who initially didn't want to smile but Martin got her smiling in the end! Even when Martin was about to leave and Faye wanted 1 more picture he got everything out to make her happy. Picking a photographer for the day we have to put a lot of trust in the person and Martin was perfect, we would fully recommended Martin to capture your special day! Thank you so much Martin!!

The most seamless day
Martin photographed us last week for our big day, he was perfect from the moment he arrived to waiting around for me to put my pjs on to take some late night snaps! Martin is so experienced and knew exactly how to get the best photos for us to be able to enjoy the time with our friends and family! Just when you think it's all over the previews come in and you start crying happy tears all over again! Thankyou Martin for making our day so special!

The perfect photographer for our perfect day
Where do we even start! Martin was absolutely brilliant and we are so pleased we chose him to photograph our wedding. He was one of those people who instantly makes you feel comfortable. His sense of humour was fantastic and he had us laughing throughout the day, which made having photos taken feel completely natural. I’m not normally someone who enjoys being the centre of attention, but I genuinely felt at ease with Martin. There was no pressure to constantly pose or stand in a certain way. Everything felt really relaxed and spontaneous, while he somehow still managed to capture all the shots we wanted. He was fantastic at getting those natural moments too, and we have so many photographs that bring back exactly how we felt on the day. He was also brilliant with the children and was so patient with them. Our preview gallery came through so quickly and we were absolutely over the moon with what we saw. The photos are gorgeous, vibrant and full of personality. We already have so many favourites! It wasn't just us who thought Martin was great either. We had several guests mention how lovely, funny and approachable he was, and how much they enjoyed having him around. He really became part of the day rather than just being the person behind the camera. We would wholeheartedly recommend Martin to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Thank you for giving us such amazing memories to look back on!

The best wedding photographer ever!
We are so pleased that we chose Martin to capture our wedding day. From start to finish, he was fantastic and his passion and talent for photography really showed in every photo. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and knew exactly how to position and guide us to get the most beautiful shots. Our photos are absolutely gorgeous and capture the romance and happiness of the day perfectly. We honestly couldn’t recommend Martin enough — whether you’re looking for a wedding photographer or someone to capture another special occasion, you’ll be in very safe hands!

You'll regret NOT hiring Martin!!
You’ll regret NOT hiring Martin! The second decision we made after choosing the venue was our photographer, Martin, and it was the only thing throughout wedding planning that we didn’t doubt once! Martin is everything we wanted in a photographer - fun, approaching, calming, confident, knowledgeable and realistic! We used Martin for our legal ceremony and also our big wedding day, and whilst both days were very different vibes, he captured both perfectly. The photos from our small day felt intimate and romantic, whilst the photos from the big day felt fun and full of love. Martin was especially supportive when planning our wedding at Hazel Gap Barn - a venue he knows inside out! He helped us find our DJ, answered logistical questions about the day, and checked in multiple times leading up to the day to ensure we were fully prepared. You can’t put a price on this level of support and kindness when you’re in the depths of wedding planning and in need of guidance!! My husband and I cannot recommend Martin enough, he was the perfect choice for us and we are telling all our friends to hire him for their weddings too!

Really wonderful wedding photographer
Martin was extremely warm and professional, he was able to direct people for photos easily without being overly stern. He gave great communication on how to pose and hoping the pictures come out great. Oh he also had a cool drone!

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.
