We met Martin during our search for our wedding photographer about a year before our event as a recommendation. He was friendly, personable and flexible (especially with our busy work schedules). I didn't know much about wedding planning, but Martin even helped with laying out a timeline for us! His style of work was exactly what we were looking for. Our engagement photoshoot was so much more fun than we had expected. We had heard some stories from friends of dreary and long sessions. But Martin made us feel so comfortable and threw in so many jokes that we had so many candid photos of us laughing and enjoying each other. We highly encourage everyone to do the engagement session with Martin because all of his cues and directions will be so familiar on the wedding day, it'll be a big time saver! Our families and friends absolutely loved our engagement photos, we got so many compliments. On the wedding day, Martin was punctual (even early). Our wedding day photos were even more fantastic. With his assistant, we were able to get so many different sessions fit in even on the busy day. Even with the time pressure, Martin stayed calm, professional and genuinely happy to capture us during the "golden hour." Martin was quick in getting us our beautiful photos to us after the wedding. We can't believe we have more than 500 photos picked out. His photo delivery system is so simple that with a few clicks, you can view your gallery or download them. We're having so much trouble trying to pick out which ones to hang up in our house. We had a great experience for a great price for excellent quality work. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer!

First of all, Martin is a family friend I knew from way back so we rekindled and caught up! Martin had a plethora of experience dealing with weddings so he was able to give us so much advice with wedding planning as well. He was very flexible meeting in person to get to know each other. He was very professional, friendly, funny and as well as his assistant (Matt). We met with him and his assistant and they ensured us in the case Martin would not be able to make it for some reason his assistant would be more than skilled to get the job done. Ideally it would be best for both of them to be there to be able to capture the most optimal shots. And which both were able to show up for the big day.
During the engagement session Martin did a great job with making it very enjoyable and fun even though it was a pretty warm and long day. I've heard from friends that had pretty strenuous and almost dreadful experiences during their sessions. But Martin was great facilitating all the logistics and making jokes on how awkward I was taking pictures. I'm sure most of us want pictures quick to use it for invitations and he sure did deliver quick. We got our pictures within a week in our emails. The email allows you access it for month, to look at and download for anyone with password access for anyone. After that you would have to pay additional subscription to continue to look at. Simply, all you have to do is download it to your choice of storage.
All the way up to the wedding Martin kept in touch to help with wedding planning. Martin and his assistant was punctual and came ready to catch the best shots. During the big day they put in some hard work, but enjoyed all the moments with us and the guests. The wedding pictures were ready and sent in about two months. There were about 500 pictures that were picked and edited out of almost thousand. Overall a great experience, great price, and amazing product!

Martin Kim photography provided me and my wife the best service and professionalism during our wedding. He really made our day special and all the photoes and album came out very nicely. We will definitely recommend Martin for anyone who's currently looking for the photographer for their events!

We were incredibly happy with Martin as our wedding photographer. We loved how our pictures turned out and the album we received was amazing quality. He was always responsive and very easy to work with. We were nervous when our wedding day turned out to be cloudy and rainy but the pictures turned out great thanks to Martin's artistic vision and creativity. He has a great personality he and his team did a good job of making our families and wedding party feel comfortable in the shoots. Overall, we were very lucky to have Martin there to capture our wedding and we would recommend him to anyone for their wedding too!

My husband and I were very fortunate to have booked Martin and his team for our wedding last summer. Not only are Martin and my husband childhood friends, but I’ve been following Martin’s photography from the start. My husband and I met with Martin once we booked him and his team to go over our vision and the millions of questions that we had. Martin brought a whole suitcase of sample albums so that I could get a feel for the different styles, but also the different album schemes. He had an answer for every question I had even if it wasn’t his job to know. I also want to note that I did not have a wedding coordinator, so Martin was very helpful in breaking down the timeline for the actual wedding day. He responds to my emails/Facebook messages right away and doesn't miss a beat. We had our engagement shoot a few months later. It just so happened that it was 17 degrees that day, but you couldn’t tell from the pictures! Martin and Anna worked in tandem to get the perfect shots and helped to keep us warm in between the shots. It’s only fitting that our wedding was on the hottest and most humid day in August, or in 2016 for that matter. Martin, Anna and Matt arrived at the hotel ahead of schedule to scope out where we could take our first look and bridal party photos. Unfortunately, I was sick that day so I wasn’t very helpful. I relied on Martin and his team to keep us on schedule and direct the party on where they needed to be. I’ve received numerous compliments that they were there taking the right photos without having to be asked and that they were constantly visible and present throughout the entire day. They went above and beyond to make this experience truly special and I can’t thank them enough. The photos are AMAZING to say the least, not to mention that the turnaround was really quick. The quality of the couple album, parent albums and prints were also on another level. Martin, Anna and Matt – Thank you for beautifully capturing our special day!

I met Martin through my best man's wedding. He stood out to me because he had recently broken his jaw from a fall and was directing us without any speech! Even with this disadvantage he was able to direct the wedding party for photos with great energy and smiles. As soon as I saw the photos from the wedding I was really impressed with how well he captured the emotion from the wedding. From this experience, I knew that I wanted Martin to be our wedding photographer.

Martin's experience really shows throughout the entire wedding planning process. From the start, he was able to assess budget and offer us a package that fit within our budget and photo requirements. He often felt like a wedding coordinator because he has so much insight on how wedding's run and the timing of events. He was extremely flexible with our timeline and worked through every detail to make sure we would be prepared.

One of Martin's greatest qualities is his editorial eye. Martin is able to get the best moments from the wedding without any direction. I trusted Martin to take all the shots he thought he needed and the results did not disappoint me. Photographs and memories make a wedding special for a lifetime. Martin makes sure that you focus on making memories without having to worry about how the photographs are being taken.

Martin's images speak for themselves

Hands down Martin was AMAZING to work with!! Right off the bat he made me feel so comfortable (I think he could tell I was insanely nervous!). He put me at ease and was so much fun to work with and gave great direction and was attentive to all of the pictures we asked him to capture and more! We couldn't be happier with the way our wedding day was documented and we owe it all to Martin. I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who wants professional and great service and pictures to prove it!!!

My wife and I went with Martin as our wedding photographer for our Summer 2014 wedding.
I know you might think this review is no longer relevant, but I was the best man at my childhood friend's wedding a few months ago- naturally my friend chose Martin as his photographer.
Martin is the real deal- he puts the couple first and is accommodating before and on the day.
He's is really easy to work with and talk to- attributes that make a wedding photographer that much better.

Not to mention that he still showed up to shoot our wedding even though he broke his jaw the weekend prior. Ask him about the story- it's crazy.

Martin did a fantastic job and I recommend him highly
