Natalie Martinez Photography

Natalie Martinez is a Hertford-based wedding specialist whose approach is rooted in documentary and reportage photography. With over a decade of experience shooting weddings, events and portraits across Hertfordshire and London, Natalie focuses on capturing the genuine, unscripted moments that make each wedding unique. Her photographs favour rich colours, romantic tones and a classic, slightly vintage aesthetic that feels timeless rather than trendy. Why choose Natalie? She brings a calm, unobtrusive presence to your day — the kind of photographer who blends into the background so you can live the moments, not pose for them. Natalie prides herself on putting people at ease; whether you’re camera-shy or love being in front of the lens, her relaxed manner and good humour help create natural smiles, laughter and interactions that look and feel authentic. What makes her approach special is a combination of observational skill and creative instinct. Natalie describes her work as an art of observation: she watches, listens and anticipates — then records the moments that often pass in the blink of an eye. She also uses interiors and the environment to enhance images, drawing on details in the venue or setting to add atmosphere and context to portraits and reportage alike. How she works with couples: it begins with a friendly conversation to understand your plans, personalities and priorities for the day. On the wedding day Natalie takes a step back, capturing the atmosphere and relationships as they unfold, stepping in only when a composed portrait or family shot will add to the story. Her aim is always to produce a wedding collection that you’ll return to again and again — images that transport you back to the feelings of the day. Natalie’s portfolio and editorial work reflect collaborations with high-profile clients and publications, and her event and portrait experience enriches her wedding storytelling. Based in Hertford and working throughout London and the UK, she specialises in documentary wedding photography that preserves emotion, detail and atmosphere with integrity and warmth. If you’re looking for a specialist wedding photographer who prioritises honesty, emotion and timeless imagery, Natalie offers a thoughtful, experienced and personal approach to capturing your wedding day.
