For Martin Hobby, wedding photography is more than a job—it’s a family legacy. Inspired by his father, Martin took his first wedding photos at just 16 years old. Since then, he has developed a lifelong passion for capturing the unique story of each couple’s special day. Now based in the charming village of Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, Martin combines years of experience with a fresh, creative eye to make your wedding memories truly unforgettable.
Martin’s photography stands out because he focuses on the real emotions and atmosphere of your wedding. He has a talent for finding those intimate, fleeting moments that tell your story in a way that feels natural and heartfelt. His images aren’t just photos—they’re artistic keepsakes you’ll cherish forever. Martin also loves highlighting the handmade and personal details that make your wedding uniquely yours, ensuring every special touch is beautifully captured.
Martin is a devoted family man, sharing his life and business with his wife Dawn and their son Ollie. This deep love for family shines through in his work—he truly understands the importance of capturing the connections and joy between you and your loved ones. His family-centered approach helps him build genuine relationships with couples and their families, resulting in wedding photos that feel both beautiful and deeply personal.
I am lucky enough to photograph some really awesome weddings so there are lots of stand out ones, from guests skinny dipping in the sea, to steampunk bands, and ceremonies in the middle of the woods.
Every wedding is amazing in its own way.
Awesome, chilled, funny, cool, stressfree
Put the spreadsheet away and go with the flow.
I love hand made stuff, little touches that people have spent time over rather than lots of money.
We meet, they fall in love, we share a wedding day.
A selfie with me.
The most original photos are the ones that happen without any planning.
Bring some wellies!
Rain does not stop play. If it rains, pop some wellies on and lets get some cracking photos!
My Dad was a wedding photographer, I shot my first wedding under his guidance at 16, I'm still doing it nearly 30 years later.
