Martin Dabek Photography

We got married last December at Berwick Lodge, a lovely winter wedding! After having looked at some websites , Martin's website and photos really stood out to us; great quality photographs and artistic too. It was important to us to know that our photographer would be good with low light conditions and also good with kids. After meeting Martin for a small demo of his portfolio, the decision was easily made. Martin is local, punctual, friendly, and super prepared and organised. Martin really captured those moments beautifully - it took as ages to select the photos for our final album ...:). The end result is amazing! Thank you Martin for being our wedding photographer, we whole heartedly would recommend you to anyone.

We booked Martin as our photographer for an outdoor ceremony at Coombe Lodge, near Bristol, and were absolutely amazed by both his service and the quality of the images, and he also managed to surprise us with a few small gifts thrown into the package. His style was perfect with a mix of reportage/natural shots, some innovative artistic stuff along with the normal posed ones. We were extremely glad that we booked Martin and he's now about to be used again by one of our family for their wedding later this year. We'd highly recommend him.

We met Martin at our wedding venue during a wedding fair as he had been used as photographer for many events at Bristol Zoo. We can see why! He was so accommodating from day one of meeting him! We got to know him and how he worked through our engagement shoot and after seeing these photos we knew we had made the right choice. On the big day itself Martin was simply fantastic! He captured moments that we didn't even realise he was watching and blended in so well there was no awkwardness, we didn't even know he was there. When he took the two of us to have our photos done it was clear he knew the best places to get good shots and it made it very relaxed and enjoyable for us both. He listened to our random ideas about photos too, including running away from the giant tarantula and we have some very unique pictures to look back on. The album that we got from Martin is beautiful! It is truly stunning and such amazing quality, his photos have so much detail and are so clear even when spread across a double page. Martin suggested after the wedding that we take part in the wedding of the year competition organised by Your Bristol and Somerset Wedding magazine...and we found out recently that we have won! His friendly personality encouraged us to enter and his amazing photos are the reason we won and we can't thank him enough. He truly is something special and we look forward to seeing his work at my sister's wedding this year! Thank you Martin :)
