About

I really like being a wedding photographer. You might be thinking “yeah, what else are you going to say.” But I really do because nothing is more satisfying to me than capturing that shot that takes people’s breath away.

While each image requires its own approach, my style tends toward a sharper focus, vivid colors, and emotion. When doing black & whites (which I love), the composition is often bolder. I am probably not the right person for those who prefer images that are stylistically washed out using photo filters.

If you look over my work, you will find a mix of candid and posed shots, and a mix of some traditional setups and more unique, modern freshness. Mostly I want to create the images that will tell all your family and friends just how in love you are.

Martino could not have provided my husband and I with a more perfect day of photography for our wedding. He was very personable and very accommodating. He offered transportation for us to and from all our destinations. We made it all the way to City Hall and realized we didn't have our driver's license so he took my husband back to the hotel, no hesitation. The photos turned out amazing and the app he provides is the perfect tool for sharing. We could not have asked for a better photographer.

I recently moved to California from Toronto, Ontario. My fiancee (now husband) is native Californian so I moved here to be with him. I arrived in May and we set a wedding date for August. For me it was going to be a big challenge moving from one city to another and having to plan a wedding.

I found the website thumbtack.com, and this is where I found Martino. After reading all of his reviews, and looking at his work on his website, I decided to give him a call. Martino called me back immediately and was very friendly and professional. At first I just wanted his services for 2 hours, and after thinking about it, I decided that I wanted to hire him for 4 hours. I felt that Marino was EXTREMELY flexible in extending the time frame AND his price was phenomenal. I did a lot of research on photographers in the Bay area, and we almost decided not to hire a photographer.

While I was on the phone with Martino, we dicussed what kinds of photos I wanted. (Portrait, candid, etc etc) and he was so accommodating because there were a few shots that I was ADIMATE on him taking (when my husband saw me for the first time in my dress, cake cutting) and he was assuring me that he would take these photos. (By the way, they he stayed true to his word and gave me all the photos that I asked him for and they are just beautiful).

On the day of the wedding, he was on the ball. He was there right when he said he would be. He was extremely friendly and really got to know and talk to all of my guests. (I had a small wedding with 45 people)

I got married at the Cliff House in San Francisco so having pictures with the ocean was the most important. Although it was EXTREMELY windy, Martino worked some Beautiful photography magic and the photos came out better than I could possibly imagine. The finished product were just beautiful and I Thank you Martino for all of your hard work on our wedding. Now we can re-live the day over with all of your beautiful photos.

Martino was a great wedding photographer! When planning a wedding it is so important to have honest, reliable and responsive vendors. Martino met all of those expectations and was professional, friendly and fun. Wedding photos are such an important part of the wedding day, and it is essential to have a great photographer. We are so happy with the memories that Martino was able to capture and now those special moments will last a lifetime. Thank you Martino!

Martino really contributed to the beauty of our day as well as giving us some beautiful images. We were on a really tight budget which he understood and worked with us so that we could have amazing pictures or our big day. I must say he was extremely flexible, kind, caring and so good we barely even knew he was there. We wholeheartedly appreciate all that he did for us.

My partner and I were married on December 5th and Martino was our photographer. What a pleasure it was to work with someone so professional. We have already received copies of the pictures he took and could not be more pleased. HIGHLY RECOMMEND MARTINO FOR ANY EVENT!!!

I loved seeing the pictures as much as I loved that day! In fact maybe I liked seeing the pictures more because I was a bundle of nerves that day!
On the day of the event itself Martino was patient and made us feel completely at ease. We didn't feel we had to pose too much and he managed to capture moments within moments which made our pictures come to life.
Martino totally captured the spirit of that day and what I loved most about his pictures is that he captured the essence of all the people he clicked.
I must add that I was not particularly happy with my make-up that day and had a word with Martino about it, and asked him if there was anything that could be done in post, he willingly agreed and sent me a few samples of my corrected pictures before processing the rest of the album. I couldn't have asked for more!
I would definitely recommend Martino to anyone who wants an album that not only documents the event really well but one that you want to share with your friends and family.

Martino was a pleasure to work with, we were tasked with finding a photographer very late in the game...we contacted Martino and he was very responsive to our needs, a true professional at very un-inflated costs...would highly recommend Martino for any big event you have going...
