About this vendor
Martin Media is a cinematic wedding videography & photography company based out of Kenai, Alaska.
Why have your wedding filmed in the first place? Simple. The day goes by fast and it's impossible to remember all the details of the day. You work so hard planning an amazing day. You should be able to sit back and look at how your hard work paid off and relive every moment and memory from your special day.
Why should you hire Martin Media to film your wedding? Also very simple. While other companies try to upsell extras like drone footage and 4K quality we shoot you straight. All of our wedding videos include beautiful 4K drone footage accompanied by cinematic slo-motion 4K footage of your wedding ceremony. 10 years from now you'll still be smiling and enjoying a sharp and crisp image.
We love storytelling and our favorite story to tell is love stories! Reach out to us to see if we may be a good fit for your wedding day!

Josiah and Tanner are a dream duo!! They’re so personable, professional, and fun to work with! We got to meet with Josiah over Zoom a couple times before the big day to get to know each other and to give him wedding details/ideals, then they both showed up in wedding day ready to rock! My husband is very camera shy so he was a little nervous (and I was a little nervous for him), but Josiah and Tanner did SUCH a good job making it “not a big deal” that there were cameras around us. They put the audio and video coverage together so expertly, and it is absolutely beautiful. Not to mention, MONTHS after the wedding I asked if they were able to make us a video of our speeches, and they were so quick to get some magic to us. The footage is expertly captured and beautifully delivered. Thank you SO much Josiah and Tanner! We’re so happy to have these amazing memories forever, I couldn’t recommend anyone more!🩷
Our wedding was a perfect day! Martin Media made the memory eternal through his videography!!! He was wonderful to work! Top notch professional and video artist! I would highly recommend him!!!
Martin Media could not have been more impressive at our wedding. They were professional and helped keep our special day on track. There are so many things you have to worry about on your wedding day and I am so glad that our photography/videography was not one of them. We watch our wedding video frequently and every time we press play it’s like we’re re-living it all over again. Thank you so much to Martin Media for making our special day so special and for giving us memories that will last a lifetime.
Josiah was incredible to work with. He whisked us away for some amazing pre-ceremony shots, then proceeded to capture an astonishing array of candid shots during the ceremony, all while being completely unobtrusive. He organized shots for the families quickly and efficiently and had brilliant and creative ideas for unique shots that came out perfectly. Turnaround time was far quicker than expected, and Josiah's communication was above reproach.
Josiah was an amazing videographer! He was such a pleasure to work with - made everything simple and was very accommodating. He was on time the day of, very organized, and just went with the flow of the wedding even though it went a bit off schedule. We were extremely happy with our highlight & full video. We later asked him to create a separate video just of our first dance and he did it quickly even though it wasn’t originally planned. Couldn't have asked for a better way to capture our special day. Highly recommend!
Amazing experience! We can't say enough about Josiah and his company! From the very first phone call, he really connected with us to find out our vision and help prepare for our vow renewal ceremony. He was super fun to work with on the actual day and was great with our kids. He was VERY fast getting our videos made and back to us and communicated well the whole time. After the final video was made, we were surprised with a nice package from him too. Highly recommend!!!
Josiah and Martin Media were AMAZING!!! We used them for photography and videography for our summer wedding. Being from out of town we went with them based on past reviews and were so glad we did. They were so helpful, friendly and made the process stress free. We met with them a couple of times before the wedding, and they were so caring and really listened to our ideas. They also helped with timelines and who should be in what photos. The photos and videos we received were excellent quality and we can't wait to watch our wedding video every year! Overall, we can't say enough great things and would highly recommend them for any photo or video needs!
Look no further than Martin Media for your photography and videography needs...seriously! Working with Josiah was everything we could have hoped for - he was professional, responsive, and did went above and beyond for our Alaska elopement.
When my husband and I were looking for a photographer and videographer for our elopement, we really didn't know what to expect or where to start as we had no recommendations outside of a google search.
Coming from Colorado, we relied solely on browsing the internet and hashtags on Instagram to find someone. We came across Martin Media and reached out, and we knew immediately Josiah was going to be able to capture our unique day. We wanted to do a small hike to our wedding spot and to fly fish on the Kenai for salmon; two of our favorite things we do in Alaska each year. Josiah and his wife Ryan were totally up for our adventures and even surprised us with a white water raft trip, which was such a fun addition to our day! The video Josiah created for us truly captured every moment of our day which was so important to us since family and friends were not there to share it with us. Even two years after our elopement, we still have family and friends who watch our video and rave about it (and we do too!) :)
Whether you're looking for a traditional ceremony + reception, small elopement, or Alaskan adventure, Martin Media will capture all of your special moments!
My husband and I hired Josiah (Martin Media) as our videographer for our destination wedding in Moose Pass, Alaska on July 10, 2021. Josiah was awesome, more than we could have asked for in a videographer. We were looking for a vendor that would provide us with not only a highlight reel but also the full wedding "home video", which is something he offers as a package. Josiah was very responsive during the whole process and answered any questions we had. He has great attention to detail and didn't miss any special moments from our special day. We were blown away when we received the video (plus the physical video he sent us via mail was such a sweet touch). He was able to capture the wedding perfectly and his drone footage was awesome. We felt like we were reliving the day all over again after watching the video. We would highly recommend him!
I could not have asked for a better experience with Josiah at Martin Media. From the first time we contacted him, he expressed almost as much excitement as us about our coming helicopter glacier elopement. I appreciated his effort in not only getting the details of our big day, but also getting to know us a little bit so that he can tell our story in a way that’s true to us.
The whole process was very seamless, and he plugged in to the rest of our wedding day logistics with ease. Along with letting him know what we wanted, we gave him the place and time to meet, and from there it was like hanging out with a buddy on our wedding day. This was really important since we eloped and didn’t have family around. He worked very well with our photographer (like a team, not stepping on each other’s toes), and just had fun with us flying around Alaska capturing our story.
As far as the quality of his company’s work, the videos speak for themselves. They’ve brought tears to our family’s eyes over and over as he captured all of the special, candid, and epic moments of our wedding day.
On top of making the experience stress free, he sent over some teaser photos/screenshots just days after our wedding which were perfect for sharing and holding everyone over until the final product. Our final delivery came in a physical package in the mail. I’ll save the spoilers, but it was a nice, tangible touch that neatly tied up the whole videography experience.
I can’t recommend Josiah and Martin Media enough. The customer experience and quality of work are simply unmatched. I wouldn’t think twice about hiring him all over again!
Working with Martin Media was such a wonderful experience! From our initial contact with Josiah, throughout our wedding plan changes due to COVID, Josiah was so flexible and easy to work with. Not only is he very professional, but very personable as well. He and his wife Ryan helped to make our wedding day as smooth as possible and they were also so fun to be around. I appreciate that he put in the time to get to know me and my husband even before our wedding day. This was especially important because we planned an Alaskan destination wedding (we're from Chicago) and have never visited Alaska before prior to our wedding. We wanted to make sure that we were able to capture not just our special day but the amazing scenery around Girdwood, AK. The drone footage that Josiah took was breathtaking and it perfectly captures how mesmerized we were by the beautiful scenery in Alaska (it honestly felt like watching a Lord of the Rings footage!). Martin Media made our wedding video feel so special and really tailored it to us as a couple. Every time I watch our wedding video, it brings me back to all the happiness I felt on my wedding day. Whether you live in Alaska or are planning to have a destination wedding in Alaska, I highly highly recommend Martin Media!
We could not be happier with Josiah and Martin Media! He met and even exceeded all of our expectations. He put together the best wedding video we could have imagined! The music fit us wonderfully and the shots he got are breathtaking! We are so grateful to have gotten to share our special day with him and have him capture it on film. Would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who is getting married in Alaska!!!
We were a little uncertain about a videographer for our wedding. Josiah shot ours for us and it’s hard to imagine what we were thinking about questioning if it was worth it. If you’re uncertain, just do it! Having those memories in video is important and special for sharing with family and friends. It’s also worth mentioning that if you’re concerned about someone else being in the way or having a video camera in the room being annoying or uncomfortable, Josiah is top-notch. He’s a blast to hang out with, is comfortable with anything you can throw at him and will only help your day flow more smoothly and stress-free. His turn-around time is quick and the final result is great. Highly recommended!
Josiah was such a wonderful gentleman to work with. Unfortunately due to COVID and mandates changing a month before our wedding, we had to cancel our celebration. Josiah was extremely understanding with this and communicated with us through the whole situation. Before the bad news, he answered all our questions, got back to us very quickly and was open to hear what we needed and wanted working with him. He was very negotiable with us considering he would have to travel for us but understood our budget and given the times. It’s very hard especially trying to plan a wedding and things constantly changing to find vendors that are understanding and communicate well through it all. Hands down highly recommend Josiah.
At first we were contemplating on whether we should have a videographer, but I'm so glad we decided to hire Josiah to help film our special day. The video was beautiful and I'm so happy that we were able to share the video to our friends and family. We would definitely recommend Martin Media for anyone who is looking to have their special day preserved in a memorable video!
My husband and I are so grateful that we were able to have Josiah, with Martin Media, video our wedding day!
With the current pandemic changing our plans more than once, Josiah was always super responsive, exceptionally supportive, and so flexible! It was so nice to be able to text him with any questions or concerns and get a quick response back, which helped ease our stress.
My husband and I have had no experience being in front of a camera and we were nervous about feeling awkward being filmed all day. Honestly, I wish I never would have worried about it! Josiah made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun with him. He is such a hard-working, kind, and genuine person and his positivity radiates!
Our wedding video, that we received shortly after our wedding day, was MORE than we could have ever imagined! He captured the day absolutely perfectly and did not miss any important details. (My husband cries every time he watches it and my husband is NOT a crier!)
We were unable to have our families join us for our big day because of travel restrictions, but now we have this awesome video to share with them! We are forever grateful for all of Josiah's hard work and the beautiful video he created! Thank you Josiah!
We had actually gone back and forth as to whether to do a videographer for our wedding because we weren’t sure a video could capture the actual feel of the day. Thank goodness we came to our senses and that we found Martin Media! We are so happy we reached out to Josiah, he was able to capture so many moments and watching our video it’s like we’re transported back to our wedding day every single time. We’ve cried, laughed, and smiled looking back at the beautiful video he took. He was so easy to work with and blended in seamlessly the day of. I forgot we were being filmed, he just kind of hovered in the background. From the get go he scheduled a call to figure out the vibe and mood we wanted for our video and to get an idea of us as people to be able to film a video that was truly a reflection of us. Throughout the whole process he was extremely responsive and organized. I will forever be grateful that I came across his info on The Knot and that he had availability to film our wedding. We will forever cherish all of the videos he took. We are so thankful for all the thought and effort he put into every minute of our videos. Thanks Josiah!!
Josiah is very personable and fun to work with! He shows a lot of passion for his work and the finished video we got is sooo stunning. This was a destination wedding so ability to relive this surreal experience was very important. We are truly grateful that we chose him to capture our day.
