Liberty Photo Photography

I’m Martin Wallace, the photographer behind Liberty Photo Photography, based in Hitchin. For more than three decades my journey with a camera — from film and the darkroom to street and portrait work — has shaped the way I shoot weddings today. I specialise in candid, documentary-style wedding photography that honours the real, unscripted moments of your day: the stolen glances, the laughter, the quiet details that make your story uniquely yours. My approach is simple and personal. I aim to blend into the background so you can be present with your family and friends while I document the emotion and movement of the day. Years spent shooting fast-paced subjects like wildlife and sports taught me to anticipate decisive moments — a skill I bring to every wedding. I combine this with a sensitivity developed through portrait and street photography to create images that are both natural and beautifully composed. Working with me is collaborative and relaxed. We begin with a pre-wedding conversation to understand what matters most to you, then I tailor my coverage to fit your day. Engagement sessions are available if you’d like to get comfortable in front of the camera beforehand and create images for invites or keepsakes. For larger celebrations I can arrange additional coverage so no moment is missed. I care about delivery as much as I care about making pictures. Couples often appreciate the unobtrusive atmosphere I bring — and the quick turnaround I aim for, with early sneak-peeks soon after the wedding and a thoughtfully edited gallery to enjoy soon after. My goal is to provide professional wedding photos that feel timeless, honest and full of feeling, so you can relive your day for years to come. If you’re planning a wedding in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire or the surrounding area and want a creative, candid wedding photographer who focuses on real moments and calm, professional service, I’d love to talk and help tell your love story through heartfelt images.
