We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Martina! From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative, setting up a phone call at the start of planning and another right before the wedding to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted. She even took the time to meet us in person, which made us feel so comfortable and confident in her. On the wedding day, she was not only kind and accommodating but also helped everything run smoothly—creating our wedding timeline was a huge relief! She was also very budget-friendly, which we truly appreciated. And the photos? Absolutely stunning. Reliving our day through her work was truly magical. We’re so grateful to Martina for capturing our wedding so beautifully!
Super Professional and Organized
Very capable of guiding large families during all the photos. 10/10 would recommend.
Martina is professional at her job and very friendly. Everything went smoothly from direct group photos to couple photos. She gave you all the idea on how to pose, so don’t worry if you don’t know how. We are glad to have her as our photographer!
The absolute best photographer I’ve ever had!!!! So much fun not only to work with, but to just be around! She is very professional, organized, and was always quick to adapt to changes!!! Absolutely loved her!
very professional, fun, and just overall amazing photographer, she felt like a family friend at our wedding making us very comfortable to be ourselves and just enjoy our pictures, she even got down with us at the dance floor making for a funny memorable moment, highly reccomend
Martina did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day on 5/5/24 at The Milestone (Georgetown, TX)! She was always up beat and enthusiastic and had fun with us that made picture taking not too stressful. I highly recommend her taking professional photos for any occasion you may have! Thank you so much Martina!!!
Hands down the best decision of our wedding was hiring Martina as our photographer. She was amazing and clearly so talented. EVERYONE raved about her and expressed how she did such a wonderful job. She got SO many photos throughout the entire wedding and her energy was so infectious! She was dancing with us on the dance floor while capturing all the fun moments. Martina made us feel so at ease and not awkward at all, and had so many ideas for our portraits-- we can't wait to see them! She was a hit! I recommend to everyone to hire her for your wedding. I wish we could have another wedding so we could hire her again!!
We were referred to Martina for our engagement photos and wedding day photos, and she seemed truly invested in getting to know us as a couple and capturing the special moments of the day. While we’re usually a bit awkward in photos, Martina made us feel comfortable right away in our first session and provided encouraging guidance on some natural and romantic poses. We had multiple prep calls, where she took detailed notes on the family shots and put forth a great timeline that I could refer to throughout the planning process. On the day of, our guests were impressed with her energy and dedication to getting right in the mix of the dance floor to get those fun shots. We can’t wait to see how the final photos turn out!
Martina Villarreal and her husband were a delight to work with. We met her through Classic Photographers and she was bright and professional, understanding our vision and making the photography process fun. Our only regret is not booking more time with them! We love the photos they took for our wedding and "engagement" photos. Highly recommend their services.
Martina is such a fun to work with! She worked with our budget and did amazing work with our engagement photos. She did our wedding photos as well and we can’t wait to see them! We definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a photographer! And we will definitely keep her in mind for future events!
I am so thankful that we found Martina to photograph our wedding! Martina helped create the perfect poses and capture all of the most important moments. Martina was a blast to work with and I appreciate her attention to detail! Martina made us and our guests feel so comfortable getting their photos taken! Thank you, Martina!
From start to finish Martina was an Angel. Such a treat to work with and made my day stress free! I couldn’t have picked a better photographer for my wedding day. If you are considering hiring Martina I wouldn’t waste another minute. Very professional! Took all the shots I wanted and more!
Absolutely amazing!! Super fun to work with and wasn't in everybody's face with the camera. I love her style and she was a valuable part of our big day! Very patient and made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it to be. 10/10 would hire her again!
Martina was a great wedding photographer! She responded promptly, was on time and patient, and captured what we wanted for our day. We were going for a colorful, laid-back wedding without being overly stylized and filtered, and Martina nailed it. Her prices were also very reasonable. Thanks Martina!
Absolutely amazing service, from first meeting, to engament photos , to the wedding very professional and wonderful energy.
On the day of the wedding she helped make everything perfect, helping with details, schedules, and making the important moments happen. Would highly recommend her for your wedding.
Martina is such a great photographer. She communicated with me quickly and frequently. She made sure to know what I wanted for the pictures, and gave me great advice. For example, I wondered if I should wear glasses or contact lenses, and she told me contact lenses are better for flashes. On the day of, she took pics as a photographer, but she also acted as a coordinator. She made sure my hair and dresses looked good. She also helped me call my family into the bridal suite so I can give them presents, then took pictures of us with the present. She was very nice to my husband (who was grumpy about taking too many pictures). Her price is highly affordable as well, and the pics turned out absolutely amazing. She's a must for your wedding.
Martina was a great photographer for our wedding. We met up with her once to sign the contract and talked on the phone with her at least twice I believe. She put together a schedule for us and gave us ideas on how to get the shots we wanted. During the wedding she was very adaptive and was willing to go with the flow when I decided last minute to do a bouquet toss. She also had an amazing presence during the ceremony: she was super friendly and excited for us. I would definitely recommend her as a photographer!
Martina was wonderful! We did both our engagement photos and wedding day photos with her. She thought of amazing shots and great ideas for us. As well as being open to any ideas and really getting to know my husband and I to get the right photos. Martina was very easy to work with and responsive to all questions and needs. I would definitely recommend her and use her services again in the future!
Martina was amazing! She was very prompt in communication before the wedding. She was efficient and great at doing group portraits, trying to get families together in big photos. She showed us a few photos on the camera and they looked amazing. We are excited to get all the photos back! Would definitely hire for a wedding photographer.
Martina and her husband are the best photographers out there! We recently got married and they captured our whole day as if they were just part of our family and friends! They really made taking photos such a breeze. Their capability to make you feel comfortable and confident in your pictures is truly impressive, they handled the chaos of the day so well and professional, while also partying it up in the dance from all night long! We can’t thank them enough for capturing our wedding day! Thank you so much!
Martina and Juan were great! I got soooo many compliments from our guests gushing over our photographer dancing along and enjoying our wedding, as much as we did. She's so organized and very attentive to the Pinterest board that I showed her.
With both our engagement shoot and wedding, she really made sure to get the shots and inspired pinterest photos that we wanted. From the beginning (no matter how far the wedding was), she was able to create a timeline and send that to me to have as a base. She was very quick to adjust to any changes I wanted.
Martina is so great and so energizing. She instantly made me (the bride) feel comfortable. Even before the big day we spoke multiple times and kept in touch. I would recommend her every time someone asks me who did our wedding photography.
Martina was everything I knew she would plus more! She made our day so much better just by showing up, because everything that could’ve went wrong in our big day did lol. Martina was calm, professional, organized and made us all feel so at ease. I cannot wait to see our photos!!! What are you waiting for? HIRE HER! If you’re on the fence due to finances or anything else, trust me, your photos are the one thing you should never sacrifice.
I have so many great things to say about Martina that I’m not sure where to start. We did our engagement and wedding photos with her and she was lovely to work with! Martina is so sweet and is an amazing photographer. My husband and I aren’t very photogenic and we weren’t sure on how to pose but Martina guided us on every step and our photos came out amazing! Before our wedding she kept in touch with us and we got on a call to discuss details of the schedule for the day off. She’s very thorough and patient and did I mention how sweet she is? Thank you for everything, Martina! - The Doffings
Martina photographed our wedding this past weekend, and she was amazing! She was very personable, flexible, and professional the whole day, and we had a great time working with her. She even got out on the dance floor and did a wonderful job capturing all of the special moments of our wedding! We cannot wait to see the final prints in a few weeks!
Working with Martina was one of the best experiences of my daughter's wedding. She fit in like one of the family!
Such an amazing experience working with Martina! We had our wedding a week ago from today and she came with such vibrant, happy, yet calm vibes. It was such a hot day and even though we had a schedule, she constantly was reminding us to "take our time", that "it was our day and she was there for us." Meant a lot to hear those words when as the bride and groom, you are getting yanked in a million directions and sometimes you forget to enjoy the evening. Also, get ready to see some amazing dance moves from Martina on the dance floor! She is so fun and would definitely pick her over again and again!
Martina is an amazing photographer! It was very important to us to find someone we could be comfortable with but also felt wouldn’t miss the important details. We are so happy we decided to hire her for our wedding reception, we knew we were in good hands when the engagement gallery blew us out of the water.
We received many compliments after our wedding about how fun she was capturing our guests cutting up on the dance floor. I am also so grateful for all the effort she put into making sure guests were at ease and smoothing out wrinkles in the timeline, she really went the extra mile for us! I cannot recommend her highly enough and look forward to booking her for any future family photo needs!
Where do I begin! Martina did an amazing job on the day of my wedding. Not only did she make sure to capture every moment but hyped up everyone on the dance floor. The energy and professionalism she delivers is priceless.
Martina was amazing through out the whole day from start to finish. She was kind, extremely helpful and willing to anything and everything to make the day stress free and unforgettable. It wouldn’t have been the same without her! Thank you Martina :)
Martina was awesome! She took great photos and made sure to get plenty of photos of us and our family!! I’m so glad she was apart of our big day! She’s very friendly, and made things easy and created the best photos we will cherish forever!
Martina and Juan’s photography for me and my husband’s wedding was such a breeze! They arrived on time and jumped right into the flow of the day, but never got in our way. I was a bit nervous about family pictures after the ceremony, but there was no hassle at all due to Martina’s ability to capture moments quickly and take charge. It was easy to step aside and let her work her magic. Martina has a keen eye for detail and suggested poses, but always made it a point to let us stand naturally and nothing was ever awkward or forced. Furthermore, both Martina and her husband integrated themselves on the dance floor with my guests to get the best and most memorable photos. It was such a fun night with her and we can’t wait to see the final product!
Martina was great!! She was so personable and wanted to hear our story and get to know us. She was so much fun on the wedding day and joined us on the dance floor! I usually hate taking photos but she made the experience so much fun!
Can’t wait to see the final products :)
She was great!! I am camera shy but she was able to get me out of My shell . She was dancing with the music and interacting with all of the guest. Highly recommended!
Martina was absolutely amazing!!! She was so fun, energetic and truly connected with everyone in attendance! I am normally extremely camera shy, and she made me feel so confident and really helped me come out of my shell! I HIGHLY recommend Martina to help capture your event!
Martina was super greatly at communication from the time I hired her until after with update on when I will get the photos.
Engagement photos turned out amazing and I am sure my wedding ones will be too.
She was super energetic and very go with the flow when things were a little late to start.
I would totally hire her again.
Martina was an excellent photographer for our small casual wedding. She was very clear and helpful with directions for photos which was really nice because my husband and I aren’t great at that kind of thing. She helped get some nice posed shots but also some wonderful casual candid shots. Martina was a pleasure to work with!
Martina was very helpful before the wedding and went with the flow during the wedding as well as fun and energetic which help with having nice photos
Martina was absolutely wonderful! She shot pictures of my elopement and was so helpful from the get go. I was new to Austin so she offered to send me recommended locations with beautiful views for our ceremony and they were all gorgeous! She took us to so many different spots to take shots of us and was so sweet and encouraging the entire time. She told us how to pose and made sure our clothes and hair were where they were supposed to be at all times. I’m kind of an awkward bean in front of cameras, but she made it so fun to be taking pictures. She showed us a few on the spot and they were phenomenal. On top of that, all of the pictures that she’s going to give us will be edited, which I thought was incredible! I can’t recommend her enough 🤩
Martina did an engagement shoot with us last month and we just LOVE the end product. The whole process was easy going and natural. Both my fiance and I are camera shy & she made us feel comfortable the whole time. She will also be shooting our wedding next year so we definitely recommend her!!! 💗💗
Let me just say Martina made me and my entire party feel so comfortable that you would think we knew each other for YEARS! She was amazing! She had the best personality and even got out on the dance floor with us! She was perfect! I cant wait to see the pictures i know in my heart they will be just as perfect!
I can sum it up quickly and say Martina was the best from beginning to end and I can't recommend her enough.

We planned a "minimony" that had to be rescheduled 3 times. Just wanting to keep things very laid back and holiday-like, my BFF convinced me like 2 weeks before the final date to set myself up on the knot and hire a pro photographer. So I did the mass message through the website to all of the knots suggested vendors and Martina was not only the 1st to respond to me (at 12:38am on a random tuesday no less), but she responded thoughtfully and throuroughly, tailoring her response based on having checked out my wedding website already. YES, PLEASE! MORE, PLEASE?!
She texted to schedule a call and I spent an hour on the phone wiht her as she listened to all of my last minute bridal needs and made excellent suggestions for me while working on a day of timeline with me. She sent a typed up pdf of the timeline along with her quote. Awesome. She even suggested what song we use for our 1st dance based on what she learned about us so far - I didn't even think about that and she nailed it!
She was easy as pie to hire with docusign-like contract and electronic payment options.
At the event she was great - we stuck to the script and got all the shots and then some. She was very easy to be around so we all were relaxed and able to take great pictures with her while genuinely having a great time together. With only 13 of us total, this easy going atmosphere was very important to us and appreciated.
We got the pictures back even earlier than expected and 1 week later, I can't stop staring at them through the online gallery, which I've been able to share with our party, too.
You should definitely work with Martina. She's so much more that a fantastic wedding photographer. She's the best!
We are so glad we met Martina! She has always been so patient, respectful, warm, and professional. She worked with us through several postponements (due to Covid), and on the day of our wedding celebration, she captured moments that we will treasure forever! We had our fur baby be part of our wedding, and Martina was GREAT! She did a phenomenal job! We would not hesitate to reach out to her for any event. Martina went above and beyond to help us do our wedding, and we will forever be grateful. Having time to review her work before our wedding, I did not take a single photo of our wedding (and I LOVE pictures) because I knew she had and would do a fabulous job. Not worrying about pictures allowed us more time to relax and enjoy the celebration. I could go on and on, but know that if you are lucky enough to secure her, Martina will quickly become more than your AWESOME photographer - she will become a friend, and you will have beautiful pictures to treasure for a lifetime.
Martina was absolutely AMAZING! She was extremely friendly, patient, and an overall joy to work with. She really took the time to capture each special moment of our wedding and was on the ball the entire time. We had a blast working with Martina and I 1000% recommend her!!!
Martina was such a joy to work with! She had some great ideas and made us all feel very comfortable. She respected our pandemic, socially-distanced wishes and still captured great pictures. If we ever get double married, we would absolutely hire her again. Thanks, Martina!
Martina is absolutely AMAZING! We HIGHLY recommend her! From beginning to end, she made the process super easy for us. She is so much fun and even danced with us at our reception! Her bubbly personality and energy fit in perfectly with our family. All the pictures came out so beautiful!
Martina is awesome. She was so easy to work with and really helped me a ton with posing. She had a super quick turn around with proving my photos as well. I would definitely recommend her as a wedding photographer!!
Martina was amazing. She was very professional and worked with our time line perfectly. She was very energetic and paid close attention to the small details. We were extremely pleased with her service.
Martina was AMAZING! She did my bridal portraits and my wedding and my husband and I had a blast with her! She was easy to work with, so sweet and wasn’t afraid to dance with everyone to get the shot! I would HIGHLY recommend, we loved every minute working with her and the photos are AMAZING!
We had the opportunity to work with Martina and she was so amazing. Our day was perfect and she was not only a great photographer but even helped out with things. Her personality was fun and caring and we couldn’t have asked for a better person. Thank you so much.
Martina was so easy to work with. She adapted quickly to all the uncertainty and changing plans we faced during the Covid-19 quarantine. When we were able to have our small wedding it was a joy to have her photographing for us. Martina knew what to do and how to ask people to participate in the photos. She felt like a part of our family. Thank you, Martina, for your time and care, and for the beautiful photos!
Martina was hands down the best photographer we could have hired for our wedding! She always kept in touch with us and was willing to work with us during the covid pandemic when we weren't so sure it was going to happen. Well it did and she was amazing! She fit right in with us an got some amazing shots! She wasn't shy and standoffish like some other photographers are she mixed right in with us! She wasn't afraid to get in the middle of the dance floor and grab some action shots which I'm sure will turn out hilariously! Needless to say we will be able to look back at our pictures and be able to relive the day all over again! My husband and I look forward to working with her again and will happily refer her to anybody.
Martina was an absolute joy to work with! Her pricing is fair and the quality of her work shows her elaborate years of experience. You can tell she loves what she does. She met with me months before our wedding and discussed options available . About a month or so before the actual ceremony, she confirmed all the plans with me. Throughout the months leading up to our wedding, Martina made heself available to answer any questions I had and gave input as I asked. Martina made the process of photography so easy going and professional! I have even stayed in contact with her after our wedding and believe we have found a life time photographer for our family.
We were the grandparents attending our granddaughter's wedding and were awe struck by how attentive, calm and professional the photographer, Martina, was during the entire 7-8 hours she was at the venue. The photos were so pretty and she took a massive amount which we were surprised about. We were able to go on line and select the ones we wanted to keep as well as see "the whole wedding" again. . . all the pics!!! Certainly would recommend!!!! Great Job!
Martina is absolutely wonderful! I loved all her pictures and ideas. She’s extremely open to ideas and flexible. She was so wonderful to work with, not only did she do my bridal shoot she also did another family members wedding!!! And she will
Also be doing my sons graduation pictures. I cannot say enough great things about my experience. She is truly wonderful
Martina was a pleasure to work with! We got our engagement photos back quickly and they are fantastic. She had numerous ideas for poses and made us feel very comfortable. We are looking forward to working with her again at our wedding! Would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer. Thanks again Martina!
Martina was a pleasure to work with. She was very knowledgeable about which poses we should take and the photos came out great. We were very pleased with how things came out!
Martina as our wedding photographer made my whole day! She has the best vibes and was very attentive to what we wanted but due to past reviews, i was more than happy leaving things in her hands ! I think she is he best photographer EVER and i plan on keeping her information for future events! I CANT BE MORE SATISFIED♥
Martina is awesome! She takes the best pictures and captures all those fun and intimate pics!!! I totally recommend her! She is very attentive and supportive! she indeed captured the most important day of my life and look forward to use her as my photographer for future events!!
Martina is AMAZING! From the first time I met her, she offered endless support, advice, and guidance. She did our engagement pictures and they turned out awesome! We didn't know what to expect or how to pose or even what to wear. She provided guidance and made us feel very comfortable and it was like just hanging with a great friend! We also hired her for our wedding and she did a wonderful job and helped make everything run smoothly. We know our pictures will be perfect!
