About

Whoo hoo, high-five! Thanks for checking me out! Hi, I’m Martin Ngo and I’m a photographer based in beautiful southern California. I shoot weddings in LA, Orange County, San Diego, Riverside, Temecula and will travel.

I'm a dreamer with big ideas, a beach bum, a food and beer lover. I enjoy traveling, camping and hiking in Yosemite, rock climbing, acquiring tattoos, good strong coffee, and spending quality time with my awesome wife and 3 adorable little rug rats.

I head a fun, modern and creative photography and videography team that specializes in weddings, engagements, and lifestyle photo shoots. The best part of my job is being a part of my awesome clients' big day and capturing the unforgettable moments for one of the happiest days of their lives.

I'd love to hear how you guys fell in love, learn about what makes you both smile, and of course I would be honored to have the opportunity to capture your big day. Drop me a line and let's find out if we're a good fit! I love meeting new people and being inspired by their stories.

cheers,
Martin

Martin is the best!!!

My husband and I got married on May 25 and we absolutely loved working with Martin and his wife throughout the process! We did our engagement shoot in Joshua tree and had to work with some of the craziest conditions. All of a sudden the weather dropped 20 degrees, and it was so cold that it started hailing during the photo shoot. We had to take cover for a while, but Martin had no problem waiting out the storm with us to make sure we got what we came there for. Despite the chaos, the photos turned out absolutely beautiful, and Martin and his wife made us feel incredibly comfortable and special throughout the shoot. They really are photoshop experts and somehow made it look like a gorgeous day lol!

We are still waiting to get our wedding day photos back but are confident they will be gorgeous from the sneak peaks they showed us. Martin and his wife communicated clearly with our wedding party and family throughout the day to make sure all our specific photo requests came to fruition. They were pivotal in making sure we stuck to our timeline throughout the evening and that the most special moments of the day were captured. I am someone that often feels awkward and uncomfortable getting my photo taken, but Martin and his wife made us feel beautiful and confident the entire time.

My only regret is that I didn’t get a longer package with Martin because I would’ve loved him to be able to shoot our after party! Even though we selected a limited time package, Martin and his wife stayed almost an hour past their scheduled end time to capture the dancing and bouquet toss which was incredibly gracious of them.


Do yourself a favor and book Martin, you won’t regret it! The value he adds for the cost of service is an incredibly good deal!

Absolutely Loved!!

We vetted about 6 or 7 photographers and ultimately decided on MartinNgo Photography and have zero regrets! From the get go, Martin was so kind and personable and we felt that we would feel very comfortable working with him. His photos looked beautiful so we trusted our big day on him. We really liked his wedding packaged that included an additional sunrise photoshoot session. We are head over heels for the final product. Martin and his wife were wonderful both during the sunrise shoot and our wedding day. We got married in Yosemite and they knew great spots, they were so accommodating and flexible. They eventually stayed longer than the contracted time so we could get photos at our reception as well. I cannot recommend them enough! Although it took a while to receive our final photos, it was definitely worth it. We absolutely loved them and highly recommend them to anyone who is considering an outdoor wedding.

Unique/Special Photos + Excellent Customer Service = Happy Customers!!!

It’s been 2 years since my wedding and I still look at my wedding photos every day! Martin and Theresa captured the perfect photos on our special day and we couldn’t be happier.

Martin was very responsive and accessible during the planning process. He is very knowledgeable about Yosemite and knows the best scenic spots to take photos throughout the park! He followed our photo list/timeline to a tee and helped keep us on track throughout the day. Martin and Theresa were so much fun to work with, so grateful we booked them for our special day!

Perfect match

Martin and his wife were the perfect combination for our engagement and wedding photos. We had never done professional pictures together before but they worked magically to bring our love to life and I am so thankful. Our pictures turned out amazing!

Highly Recommend!!

We are so happy that we worked with Martin and his team for our wedding photos and video. They have so much experience doing this that it made it so easy for us. We didn’t have any idea going in what kind of photos or shots we wanted but luckily Martin was able to recommend great locations and captured all the special moments and details for us. We loved the way our photos and wedding video turned out and enjoy viewing them over and over again. We highly highly recommend using them for your special day!

Martin Ngo provides the foundation for a perfect wedding

My wife and I dreamed of doing an outdoor elopement. After months of searching for both a location and a photographer, we fell in love with both Yosemite’s grand overlooks and Martin’s work. Unfortunately, 24 hours before our ceremony, a blizzard hit the valley and completely upended our plans. Martin, however, was unruffled.

Martin had secured a hotel days before our wedding, preparing for the worst. When our wedding day came, he turned otherwise bad luck into some of the most unique, breathtaking wedding pictures I have ever seen. Coupled with his unflappability, Martin was an absolute delight to spend time with.

I cannot stress this enough - Martin Ngo’s work is priceless. It’s an honor to have worked with him!

Maternity Photoshoot

Martin and Teresa are the Best! They were able to capture such beautiful moments of our maternity shoot. I’m kind of awkward when it comes to taking pictures but Teresa made the experience so fun. I did not look awkward at all in my pictures. THEY TURN OUT SO BEAUTFUL. I know I was a taking my maternity pictures earlier than most pregnant women but the almond orchards in Bakersfield only bloom 2 weeks of the year and I knew I had to go. I was 24 weeks when these pictures were taken. I would definitely recommend this husband and wife team. They work so well together and don’t disappoint. Thank you so much, the pictures are amazing!

Sept 22, 2018 Wedding At Hyatt Huntington Beach

My husband and I were so thrilled to have Martin and his wonderful team as our photographer! We made an excellent decision hiring him to document our big day. From the beginning, he was always very professional, courteous, easygoing, and friendly. When we first met, my husband and I felt comfortable with him right away. Our engagement shoot was fantastic :) all our pictures came out beautiful. The whole wedding day went smoothly, and we love love our wedding day photos!! Martin is an excellent photographer, and I would recommend him to anyone :)

We found Martin and his wife through a friend and couldn’t be happier with our decision. Our wedding was very simple and we were a little nervous about making our photos look nice, but Martin did a great job capturing our day. He found great angles, lighting, and spots near our venue to take photos in. We are also not very comfortable in front of a camera, but Martin made taking photos so natural and easy. He was easy going and full of dad jokes which really cheered us up after long hours of getting ready. We could not have asked for a better photographer for our big day!

Martin was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. He was the photographer at our friend's wedding a few years earlier and we had been so impressed with both him and his work. We knew when we got engaged that we had to meet with him. On the day, you end up spending more time with the photographer than your spouse, so it's important to not only trust them but get along with them. The second we sat down with Martin, we knew he was the one for us. Not only is his work truly phenomenal (we get complimented on our wedding photos by anyone who sees them) but his presence was calming and so helpful to our day. He's great about not only finding the perfect shot, perfect light, but also the moments. We genuinely could not recommend him higher, nor will you find someone with as much talent and poise.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
