We are so thankful we found Ian!! My husband and I live in Las Vegas and due to Covid we couldn't have the large wedding we wanted so we decided the next best thing was to run off...
to our favorite place, Carmel, and elope. We were referred to Ian through our wedding planner. We communicated with him on the phone and via email a few times prior to our wedding. He was responsive, professional, gave great suggestions, and made us very comfortable with the entire process. The day of our wedding, he was even more amazing in person and once we received the final product of our wedding photos we couldn't be happier! The images he took really told a beautiful story of the entire day. He captured so many amazing photos and moments we will forever cherish. We highly recommend Ian! Thank you again! 5 stars!!
Ian captured my husband and family perfectly. These are some of the most beautiful photos I've ever seen taken of my family. A true talent and eye for emotions of the day. He handl...

eople. We're very satisfied customers!
I decided to have my wedding 4 hours north of my hometown, making most of my planning dependent on phone calls and e-mails. Throughout the planning process Ian was nothing but help...
ful and understanding. He was always accessible and willing to help.
The first time we met was the day of my wedding, his camera already held up to his face. His easy going attitude helped ease the stress of the hectic day. He even helped zip my bridesmaids into their dreses when we realized the zippers had been comprimised during alterations!
Our potraits went smoothly as he was kind yet direct. The rest of the night his presence went almost unnoticed.
Once we recieved our pictures in an apprpriate amount of time (about a month and a half later), I was overwhelmed with happiness. They all came out beautifully and I was able to see every aspect of my wedding, even details I hadn't noticed! There was no need for a vidiographer because I saw my whole night unfold in his images.
Bottom line... Ian is incredible and I couldn't be happier with the choice to use him on such an important day!
My husband and I picked Ian Martin after a fellow bride recommended him. He's phenomenal!! He is relaxed, funny and easy to work with. He will become a member of your family! He wi...
ll also be nearly invisible during the wedding, which I believe is why he is able to capture the great candid shots that he's known for. I loved our engagement photos, and I am so happy that we selected him to document our day!
Ian is very easy to work with. I haven't gotten my pictures back yet but he was great at the wedding. He was extremely professional and organized and flexible.
Ian was wonderful to work with - he was a great listener to our photo 'hang ups'. He was also extremely gracious with our guests. Literally, it was as if he wasn't there.
