About

Congratulations to you!


I am Cheryl Amati Martin, with more than 30 years of extensive professional experience as a wedding photojournalist, and a nationally exhibited and collected photographic fine artist.


My long time associate, Christopher Bacon, and I, have combined our talents to give you the ultimate synergistic wedding team. As artistic photojournalists, our discerning eyes will freshly capture and record the spirit, life energy and "story" of your day in the least obtrusive manner. We provide you with the peace of mind that only comes with seasoned industry professionals.


In addition to traditional photographic documentation, such as group formals, we also include a refined, more sensitive interpretation of your day captured by accomplished artists. In this regard, we exclusively offer our "Up Close and Personal" intimate photographic journey ---a tribute showcasing only the Bride and Groom.
These stunning Black and White images are ageless and timeless --- a regal depiction of this momentous day.


My approach to photographic investment is straight forward.

I offer fair pricing based on experience, imaging, professionalism and detailed service.


A base price is created according to the length of your day, and how long you wish to retain us. Inclusive in your base rate are Product Options from which to choose. (see wedding products page)

Number of images taken is unlimited. Web viewing is also included.


These keepsake images will last you and your family a lifetime.


We invite you to place the imaging of this revered day in our capable hands.


Each time you view your photographs.... you will relive your day.

Cheryl and Christopher did a fantastic job photographing our wedding and we couldn't be happier with how the day turned out. They captured the day perfectly and I'd recommend them to anybody looking for a photographer in Rochester.

Cheryl and Chris are amazing. They are not intrusive and blend in when needed while still getting all the great shots. They also have fun with you when appropriate, too- especially during the photo shoot with just the couple. We got our images in a timely manner and were so pleased with the images and album that was put together. Also important was what a great experience we had with them from the very beginning. I cannot say enough great things about them. My family loves them and their work so much that Cheryl and Chris just did the photos for my sister's wedding the past weekend. Was so much fun to work with them again. You will NOT be disappointed if you book with Cheryl and Chris.

We used Cheryl for our wedding and it was the best decision we made. She is extremely professional, helpful, kind and provided exceptional service. Her pictures came out absolutely beautiful. Best of all, she was affordable. I would recommed her to anyone of my family members and friends. She goes out of her way to make your big day a day you'll never forget.

We met our photographer at a friend's wedding. She was very professional and we could tell that she did a great job so we decided to hire her for our wedding. Cheryl did not disappoint! She has an assistant, Chris Bacon, who is also very talented. We felt so comfortable with them and they made our day so special. They took many shots of our friends and family, not to mention the photos they took of us came out amazing! Many of our guest commented on what a great job they did and it seemed that they were just as much a part of the party as everyone else! All our photos were up on their website within 10 days. As part of their service, Cheryl handed out cards to each of our guests with her website listed on it letting them know the photos would be available for viewing - how awesome is that! As part of our package we got a DVD of every photo they took on our wedding day, which was over 800 shots. We have the rights to the photos so we are able to order them through anyone, we are not locked into having to purchase photos from Cheryl. I would recommend this photographer to anyone!

Three years later this is still the biggest regret of our wedding. We had a beautiful outdoor reception and almost no good pictures to remember it by. I had her come to the venue before hand to check it out and still she took all of our pictures under a tree with sun spots coming through the leaves, none of the pictures turned our. No important pictures on our list were taken, none of my mother smiling, the grandparents, all key people who we said we wanted pictures of. For Cherly and Crispys sake I hope they just had a horrible day at our expense. We were given one disc with 1,500 unedited pictures in no particular order a month later. No guidance, none printed out. Nothing is on our walls. Worst decision of our wedding! If you'd like pictures to remember your wedding go someplace else.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
