A Fantastic Ceremony with Rev. Martin

I highly recommend Rev. Martin. He took the time to get to know us as a couple and made us feel comfortable leading up to the big day. He walked us through everything to expect and made last-minute adjustments without a second thought. He was a fantastic officiant of the ceremony - we received many compliments on how our ceremony went. By the end of the night, he felt part of the family. You'll be in good hands with Rev. Martin.

It was a pleasure to work with Reverend Martin this past weekend. As a photographer, I rely on the officiant for prompts and permission to get great pictures of the ceremony -- and Martin made it easy. He was professional, friendly and easy to work with. I highly recommend him.
