My Photo-losophy
When it comes to photographing weddings in Melbourne and beyond, I’m your girl. I’m not about tacky, unnatural shots, and I’m definitely not going to make you pose and smile until your cheeks hurt. No one likes that!
Instead, I’m here to document your day in the most authentic, candid way, so you can feel natural and comfortable on your most special day. I specialise in candid wedding photography in Melbourne that keeps things fun, relaxed, and real.
Precious moments and your favourite people
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? 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.

We honestly don’t think we can even put into words how grateful and thankful we are that we chose Belle as our photographer for our wedding.
Belle managed to capture our day so perfectly - she is seriously like a secret photo ninja, capturing not only all of the main shots but also all of the little details too, from things like rings and perfumes to photos of our guests, our cake, and the dancefloor. Belle worked so well with our other vendors as well, they were really a dream team, working so hard in the background to make sure our day was captured flawlessly (and it was!)
Nothing was ever too much of an issue with Belle, she was so accommodating and made everyone feel comfortable! Not only that, but Belle’s energy is UNMATCHED! She is a total hype woman and brings all of the positive energy and good vibes to the day! She really gets amongst it which is just one of the many things that makes her so amazing!!
Belle, we really cannot thank you enough for all you did for us in the lead up and during our wedding. When I met you at the bridal expo I knew I wanted to book you in and I’m so glad we did! You are honestly just incredible!! Thank you!!

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!
