Martin Dabek Photography
What we're all about
I’m Martin, Bristol wedding photographer. I’m family man, traveller, hitch-hiker, pet owner and Asian food lover. I spent 13 months exploring South & Central America before I became a wedding photographer.I’ve been capturing incredible memories for my couples since 2009, so far it’s been an amazing journey. The first wedding I photographed was in Mexico for some friends of mine and since then I have photographed over 250 weddings. I’m proud to be a member of a very prestigious South West Selective and International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers, I have won two Fearless Awards and my work was featured in many wedding blogs and magazines. Recently I have been included in “The Top 100 Best Wedding Photographers in the UK of 2016” list created by Your Perfect Wedding Photographer website.
I currently live in Bristol and absolutely love what I do and travel extensively to weddings all over England, as well as abroad.
I always feel lucky to be able to do what I do, and thankful that I’m able to work with the people that I do. I’m always ready to start a new journey with you, and to hear all about your wedding plans! Please don’t hesitate to get in touch, together we could bring your vision to life.
I love real candid moments as well as dramatic and artistic photography with bold colours and happy people. I’m very much inspired by my clients’ personalities, so that I can create something fresh and unique each time.
My photography is reserved for a sophisticated and discerning client who appreciates style, wants the very best and for whom photography is a high priority.

Elspeth & Brian – Coombe Lodge
“We were extremely glad that we booked Martin and he’s now about to be used again by one of our family for their wedding later this year. We’d highly recommend him.”
Natalie & Mark – Stanbrook Abbey
“In particular the photos at our venue, Stanbrook Abbey, are better than we could have imagined. Some of these have even been used on the Stanbrook Abbey website”
Laura & Chris from Manchester
“Thanks to Martin we have beautiful photographs to treasure of our ‘Cherish the Dress’ photo shoot in Paris. They are better than our wedding day photos!”
Katherine & Stuart – Brympton House
“Martin is really easy to work with, a genuinely nice guy and he really made sure our day was captured as we wanted.”
Sarah & Jon – SS Great Britain
“The photos look fantastic and really capture the mood of the day.”
Victoria & Larry – Dartington Hall
“We were really happy with the end result and ended up ordering an album double the size of the one we had previously planned as we loved the pictures so much!”
Natalie & Jay – Elmore Court
“We loved his pictures, everyone looked so natural and relaxed, he has an eye for creating beautiful images.”
We don't like having our picture taken, can you help?
Don’t worry, this is a normal response! I won’t make you feel akward you or ask you to ‘smile’, instead I will give you space and opportunity to just be yourself with one another, leaving me to capture your love as honestly as possible through a range of fun and engaging interactions. I don’t need lots of time on your wedding to create lovely portraits of you. I know you would like to spend time with your guests and have a drink!
How long until we receive our photographs?
I guarantee a maximum of 4 weeks, although I aim for 2. Hopefully they should be ready by the time you return from honeymoon. I will also put a sneak peak on my facebook page just after your wedding.
Are you insured?
Yes! Public liability and professional indemnity.
What happens if you're ill on the wedding day?
Whilst this has never happened, I do have a backup plan. I would arrange for another professional with a similar style to my own to work on my behalf. If you found your own arrangements then you would of course be entitled to a full refund
Can we choose images for our album?
Yes sure! I’m happy to design it myself, or you can choose about 30 of your favourite images for me to include. Then I will send you a PDF of every page for you to approve or to make some changes if required.
Do you take formal group photos?
Yes, and I do this quickly and efficiently, leaving you as much time to enjoy your day as possible. I believe that group photos are an important way to make a historical record of people who may not find themselves together again. Certainly worth doing.
You haven’t worked at my venue before, will this be a problem?
I have worked at most of the wedding venues in my area and love to work at new ones. However it doesn’t matter either way as each wedding I shoot is as unique as the people getting married. I will usually visit a new venue before hand where possible. Also most of the venues where I photograph for the first time are ending up using my images on their website!
