Wedding photography for the wildly in love.
melbourne wedding photographer | victoria
Candid, colourful wedding photography for couples who want the real stuff. The happy tears, the belly laughs, the questionable dance moves and all the little moments in between. Based in Melbourne and photographing love stories across Victoria.
My photo-losophy
Your wedding day isn't a photoshoot.
It's the ugly cry. The uncontrollable laughing. Your dad seeing you for the first time. Your best mate absolutely sending it on the dance floor. The sneaky hand squeeze. The champagne. The chaos. The people you love most in the world all being in one place.
That's what I want to photograph.
I'm Belle, a Melbourne wedding photographer specialising in candid, documentary-style wedding photography for couples who want their photos to feel like them.
No endless forced posing. No spending half your wedding day standing in a field while I rearrange your elbows.
Let's do It!
Just real moments, beautiful light, ridiculous amounts of fun and photographs that take you straight back to how your wedding day actually felt.
I photograph weddings across Melbourne and regional Victoria, including the Yarra Valley, Geelong, Mornington Peninsula, Bellarine Peninsula, Surf Coast, Ballarat, Daylesford and Macedon Ranges.
Basically, if there's love, a dance floor and somewhere for me to park my car, we're off.
Wedding photography that feels like you
Your wedding photography should be about more than ticking off a list of photographs.
Of course we'll get the important stuff. The family photos, the bridal party, the ceremony, the portraits, the details and all those photographs your nan will absolutely want framed.
But I'm also looking for everything happening around those moments.
The nervous little laughs before the ceremony.
The way your partner looks at you when you're not looking.
Your friends losing their minds during the speeches.
Your grandparents dancing.
The kids running wild.
The tears you didn't expect.
The moments you didn't even realise happened.
That's the magic of documentary-style wedding photography.
I'm there to gently guide you when you need it, disappear into the background when you don't, and make sure you actually get to enjoy your wedding day while I'm busy catching it all.

The Belle Martin Effect
BELLE'S OUR GIRL!
It's not just about the photos. It's about having a bloody good time while I'm taking them.
Expect a photographer who actually gives a shit, a little direction when you need it, plenty of banter and absolutely no pressure to be perfect.
I’ll help with timelines, wrangle the family photos, calm the nerves and catch all the moments you didn’t even realise were happening.
The tears. The belly laughs. The secret glances. The questionable dance moves.
Basically, you get to enjoy your wedding while I capture the good stuff.
And when you look through your gallery, I don't just want you to think:
"We looked great."
I want:
"OH MY GOD. I REMEMBER THIS."
That's the Afterglow Effect. ✨
So...what happens next?
1. Let's Chat!
Before you book anything, we’ll jump on a Zoom call, phone call or whatever works best and talk all things wedding.
Your plans. Your people. Your weird family dynamics. What you're excited about. What you're worried about.
Basically, I want to know you, not just your wedding date.
2. We make it official
Once you're ready to say "Yep, she's our girl", I'll send through your contract and booking details.
Once your booking fee is paid and everything is signed, your date is officially locked in.
Cue the happy dance. 💃
3. Then we plan the good stuff
As your wedding gets closer, I'll help you work through your photography timeline, family photos, locations and all those little details that can make the day run beautifully.
You don't have to know what you're doing.
That's literally why you hired me.
4. Wedding bloody day!
This is the fun bit.
You get married.
I take the photos.
We laugh.
Someone probably loses a shoe.
Someone definitely dances like nobody is watching.
And I'll be there capturing the whole glorious thing.
5. Your Photos Arrive
You'll get your sneak peeks shortly after the wedding, followed by your full beautifully edited gallery within 8–10 weeks.
Then you get to relive the whole thing from your couch, probably with a glass of something delicious.
We're ready!
You’ve found your photographer. 🎉
Now what?
Let's Do it!
We'll be a PERFECT fit if...
You value connection.
I'm not just a wedding photographer that is there for the big parts of your day, never to be heard from again. I’m here to have fun and make your day all the more special – capturing each and every incredible moment.
You’re an animal lover like me.
What’s better than a fur baby at a wedding? Whatever your animal, having them be a part of your photos makes the memories all the more special.
You’re ready to have some FUN!
You love letting your hair down, stepping out of your comfort zone and living in the moment. Oh, and you want me to capture the most epic photos and memories in the meantime!

For the "holy crap, we're getting married!" stage.
Beautiful chaos, captured exactly as it is.
FAMILIES
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!
