Precious moments and your favourite people
Hey, I'm Belle. Your snack-carrying, silly-noise-making, chaos-embracing family photographer.
I believe the very best family photos happen when everyone forgets the camera is even there.
For over 9 years, I've been photographing families across Melbourne and Victoria, capturing the real moments... the belly laughs, muddy feet, cuddles, wild toddlers, teenage eye rolls and everything in between. My relaxed, documentary-style approach means there's no pressure to be perfect, just space to be yourselves.
When I'm not chasing little legs through long grass or capturing beautiful family memories, you'll usually find me spending time with my family, attempting to beat my husband at Mario Kart, cuddling my dog Melody, or planning my next Taylor Swift playlist.
Because around here, family comes first... and I know yours does too.

WEDDINGS
Everyone will tell you why they're the best and what they do every wedding. Heres's what we don't do:
- We aren't here to force you into weird positions and make everyone feel uncomfortable.
- We aren't going to hide in the bushes
- We aren't going to spend 15 minutes taking one photo
- We aren't going to stay quiet and stick to the outside of your bridal party
engagement
The practice run.
I bloody love an engagement shoot and whether you're hiring the associate teams or if you're hiring myself (Josh) I will be the one to personally shoot your engagement session.
What is it? A practice run where we can meet in person, get rid of the awkwardness of having your photo taken and take some banging photos for your facebook display picture or prints for your house.
You'll also go into your wedding day with a sense of familiarity with the promts and calls that the photographers will make which makes the day run heaps smoother.
Frequently asked questions
I'll send you my Family Session Guide filled with outfit inspiration and tips to help everyone feel comfortable and look amazing.
The best photographs happen when kids are free to play, explore and simply be themselves.
I photograph families throughout Melbourne, the Western Suburbs, Geelong, Ballarat, the Mornington Peninsula and surrounding areas.
Absolutely! Extended family sessions are a beautiful way to celebrate generations together.
You'll receive a beautifully curated online gallery within a few weeks of your session.

EVENTS
Because some parties deserve photographic evidence.
We chose Belle as our wedding photographer for our wedding December ‘23, it was the best choice!
Belles (really great priced) package we chose, included an engagement shoot- so we had an opportunity to capture some lovely photos and get to know her prior to the big day!
On the day, Belle worked with all the other vendors and the venue to organise things which took away any stress for us. She was fun, brought an infectious energy and seamlessly blended into the day to ensure we didn’t feel like it was a paparazzi show (which was a worry for us initially, not wanting anything to feel staged).
End result: the most beautiful photos that we will treasure forever. There are SO many shots to choose from!
Thank you for being such an awesome human and capturing our day so wonderfully! X
Thanks so much Belle! x

We are not photo people and quite awkward, but Belle made our experience so perfect. It was so easy to open up and there was no awkward posing on the day.
The photos came out utterly perfect and we could not be happier!! We also had the amazing opportunity to do an engagement shoot as part of our package which we 100% recommend.
This let us trial a whole bunch of poses and decide what style we wanted and didn’t want on the day. The pricing for photos was very reasonable, and we certainly got our moneys worth.
We 100% recommend Belle Martin Photography for weddings all year round!!

Where to begin.. WOW! I stumbled across Belle’s business page by chance and it was meant to be.
Belle was absolutely incredible on our wedding day yesterday. Belle is incredibly down to earth and made us feel completely at ease the whole time.
Belle was essentially our fairy godmother, and gave us way more than just photos. From helping us both get dressed to keeping her cool when the pressure was on, Belle was everything and more. She guided us through every picture and made sure we were laughing and having fun together. My husband and I were happy to go with the flow and Belle’s style worked so well for us, our personalities and the wedding vibe we were going for. And above all of that, of course Belle’s photos are INCREDIBLE!
We cant thank Belle more. We cant picture our day without you Belle. You'll be doing all of my life’s photography B, so see you very soon!
