Martin Phelps Weddings
What we're all about
I do Wedding Photos not fairytales.London, Cotswolds, and beyond...
Real life, in all it’s glorious, curious, heart-wrenching, crazy beauty.
Call it documentary, or reportage, or photojournalistic wedding photography.
It’s all the same thing.
The devil's in the details.
Check out our photography
All wedding photography packages include a set of edited pictures delivered by secure download (typically around 4-500 from each wedding) in both black and white and colour, along with a short edit of around 100 pictures which represents my photographer’s view of the day. You'll also receive a link to a web gallery to send out to family and friends.
I also deliver a set of low res out-takes of everything I shoot, so if something or someone important gets missed in the edit, or you just like a shot that missed the cut, you can pick it out of the coverage and order a retouched high-res version. I’ll do a limited number of these free of charge.
I don't place any restrictions on what you can do with the pictures. Instead, my wedding packages allow you to print, share, and copy, at no extra cost.

Hey Martin
THANK YOU sooooo much for our incredible wedding photos, we absolutely LOVE them!
Apologies for only contacting you now – we only came over to my parent’s house today and looked at them altogether, we are all just completely blown away with your talent.
We loved the way you presented them in the box – you’ve just been amazing from start to finish and even though we knew the photos would be fab, our expectations have been blown to smithereens!! Me and Deedee absolutely love your natural ability to capture moments and connections between people, it really is magic and we have loved reminiscing and seeing scenes which we missed on the day.
Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. Please can you let me know what your vice is so that we can send a small token of our massive gratitude?!
Jules and Rob
Hello!

KGS
They’re simply incredible Martin, thank you so much!
We’ll be in touch!!!
Kristin and Sam
Hello Martin,
…us again! We are absolutely delighted with the photos from our wedding day…we are so happy that we asked you to capture the day for us. We can’t stop looking through them now. I think Sam and I both consider ourselves to be ‘unphotogenic’ so to see lovely photos of us is such a nice surprise!
Lydia and Dave
Hey Martin
no wonder it was a mammoth edit – nearly every single shot is totally AMAZING!
We cannot tell you how incredibly happy we are with all the shots. The style, moments captured and the bw conversions are everything we dreamed about. We have got the prints also, and they look stunning.

Hi Martin,
The disc and prints arrived today. Thanks so much. The photos are absolutely amazing and many tears of happiness and laughter have been shed over the weekend looking through them all. So huge, huge thanks.
Speak soon,
Liv and Nick
Dearest Martin – we are speechless! The photos are beyond what we could have ever hoped for. Fabulous images which so capture the emotion and feelings of the day. THANK YOU!
I hope you are really proud of them. We are over the moon so thank you once again.
Spk soon
what's the point?
The point is that the pictures are about the day, not vice versa.
I take what I think are interesting pictures which I hope will become more interesting as they, and you, age.
After all, they’re going to be with you for the rest of your lives - you’re never going to shake these things. It’s your wedding day.
I want to make you cry in 40 years time.
Yes, the pictures will be good.
But more importantly they’ll be honest.
Good photos will make you smile when you see them for the first time.
An honest representation will make you smile, weep or shake with laughter in 20, 30, 40 years.
That’s my aim.
Oh, and in case you were wondering ...
I’m the perfect party guest.
I can fit in anywhere, with anyone.
It’s a social photographer’s most important skill.
On wedding days I’m cheerful, helpful, discreet and well-dressed.
I don’t drink, smoke, smell bad or fart in public.
I can’t vouch for the other days though.
I’ll come to your wedding, wander round pointing my cameras at things.
Go click occasionally.
Move on.
I’m just another guest in a dark suit.
You’ll barely even be aware of me for much of the day.
It’s the only way to get interesting, surprising, emotionally engaging pictures.
Can you take more formal shots?
Of course, if you want a few formal groups I’d be delighted to do them.
I promise to make them quick, easy and painless for everyone.
And at some point we might go for a little walk to get a few photos of the two of you alone.
But the core of what I do is to observe and record what goes on.
And to add a pinch of my own idiosyncratic style.
For the pictures themselves there’s no fancy processing.
No heavy vignettes. No weird coloration.
Nothing to get in the way.
Just memories, faithfully recorded.
