When it comes to photographing weddings in Melbourne and beyond – I’m your girl.
I'm not about tacky and unnatural shots. And I’m definitely not going to make you pose a smile until your cheeks hurt.
No one likes that!
Instead, I’m here to document your wedding in the most authentic, candid way, so you can feel natural and comfortable on your most special day.
The raw, the real, and the candid. I’m all about documenting your wedding day in a way that’s completely and totally YOU!
Why?
Well, it makes the memories all the more precious. Instead of just seeing the moment, you'll be able to feel it, and relive it over and over.
Let’s capture each and every special moment.
I completely get it – planning your wedding can be pretty daunting, there are so many decisions. Finding a wedding photographer that understands you and your personalities is key!
Luckily, I know exactly where you can find one of those 😉
I want to hear all your plans, hopes and dreams for your special day!
We’ll organise an online chat where we can talk over your timeline, and make sure you have the exact coverage you need for your day.
Your special day – without the stress of big plans and expectations. I LOVE intimate Weddings!
I’ll be there to capture all the special moments – the magical memories that light you up.
Documenting those moments that will last a lifetime.
Whether it’s a special occasion like an engagement, or no occasion at all (you might just be sick of ONLY having selfies together), I’ll work with you to plan your perfect session.
Family photos are just so important to have. Time is fleeting, one minute you have a newborn, the next they are teenagers.
Family sessions are so much fun, and way more than sitting still and smiling at the camera. Games will be played, jokes will be had, out come the candid beautiful smiles and laughs, all of which make for great family memories.
Extended family sessions are also available. Why not include grandparents and Aunties and Uncles!
Let’s catch up for a Zoom call, phone call, or whatever floats your boat! Getting to know you is the most important part of my job – because I want you to feel relaxed, confident and stress free in the company of your newest friend… Me!
Let’s make it official. Once you know where and when you are getting married, we can lock it in! All I ask is for a $500.00 deposit and the rest is not due until the week before your day.
We will work together to plan your day from beginning to end and everything in between. I'll be able to help you put together a timeline that works for you both for it to be the most amazing wedding day celebration.
It's finally here, your wedding day! By the time this day comes, we will know each other pretty well and that of course will result in you being comfortbale with me, and then my camera!
It is time to see your wedding planning unfold.
You’ll get your sneak peek photos within 24-48 hours of your wedding.
I’ll have your polished and edited wedding gallery finalised and back to you in roughly 6-8 weeks in the form of an online portal, a hand packaged USB and some special prints of my fave shots.
I’d absolutely love to stay in touch to help capture all the incredible moments to come in your life together.
And from there if you have an album we can get started on designing the most glorious storybook.
I LOVE capturing authentic, candid weddings across Melbourne and beyond. In fact, over the past 9+ years, I’ve documented over 300 weddings for fun-loving couples that want to feel natural and comfortable on their special day.
When I’m not capturing special wedding memories for amazing couples, I’m spending time with my partner, kicking his butt at Mario Kart, cooking up a storm, or hanging out with my incredible stepson!
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!
I'm based in Melbourne, Australia but I am very happy to travel to rural, interstate and of course overseas to capture love!
You'll receive approximately 100 photos per hour, depending on how many hours we shoot and how jam-packed your wedding day is!
Firstly, I'll send you a handful of sneak peek shots a couple of days after your wedding. 6 to 8 weeks later, you'll receive a link to your online gallery to watch and relive your wedding day. Around the same time, you'll also receive a beautiful package in the mail with a USB, prints and a little thank you from me.
This is your wedding or family shoot and if you are uncomfortable with your photos being shared on my social media platforms, that's no problem at all!
Unfortunately in the times we are in, if by chance I get COVID or do become unwell, I have contacts all over the world that will be able to step in. These are other talented photographers who will take good care of you.
Life is complicated and the unexpected is to be expected. The deposit is non refundable as this helps to protect my business due to turning away all other bookings for your wedding date. I hope you understand that deposit is insurance for my business to stay afloat in the event of a cancellation. I'll do my best to accomodate a new date, however, if the date you choose is unavailable, any payment minus the deposit will be refunded.
We love her so much! Belle is so, so good at her job, super professional and just the warmest and friendliest person ever. She captured our day perfectly. We wanted our photographer to capture us for us (2 goofy, weirdos), and she did just that. It was so easy and natural with Belle – it didn’t even feel like we were being photographed, we were just being ourselves. Every single picture we have is STUNNING! We still haven’t put together an album or prints as we truly cannot decide which ones want to display at home – that’s how good Belle is! Can’t recommend her highly enough!
From the moment she walked in we instantly knew she was perfect for us. For a couple who are quite uncomfortable having photos, Belle knew how to get the best photos for us, out of us. We loved having her apart of our special day, she was cool, fun yet professional but mainly, just plain lovely to have around. My partner was against having a photographer (I know!) but once he met Belle, he was asking for a photo with someone from her every few minutes! Cannot recommend Belle highly enough. She has an incredible eye and just knows how to get those “shots” out you both while looking natural, her skills are incredible. Thank you so much Belle.
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!!
She was so fun and made us feel relaxed throughout the whole process. We really appreciate how handsome our precious little George looked and we think you captured his senior features perfectly!! Thank you again for all your advice and support on the day - till next time!
I can’t wait to hear about your epic, dreamy, colourful wedding plans!
