Martelle Photography

Martelle Photography is Martin & Ellen — an award-winning husband-and-wife wedding photography team based in Hucknall, serving Nottingham, the East Midlands and beyond. We specialise in wedding photography and approach every day with a friendly, down-to-earth style that helps couples feel relaxed and enjoy their celebration. Our work centres on storytelling: candid, natural moments captured honestly, with the occasional ‘WOW’ shot when the light and mood combine to create something truly memorable. Why choose Martelle? Between us we bring more than a decade of wedding experience and a calm, practical presence on the day. We’re often described as much more than wedding photographers because we quietly help the day run smoothly — from gentle direction for camera-shy guests to practical little fixes that keep things moving. Ellen’s background as a qualified wedding planner means we pay close attention to timings, locations and logistics so you can trust us to deliver beautiful images without adding stress. Our photographic style is predominantly documentary and lifestyle-led. We don’t like heavy posing; instead we set the scene, give a little direction, then let real moments happen. That approach creates timeless images that feel genuine and personal. We also make space for private couple time — a calm moment away from the crowd where we can capture intimate portraits and those relaxed together shots you’ll look back on for years. On the day we cover events from preparations to evening celebrations, capturing speeches, laughter, first dances and all the in-between moments. Later, we carefully edit and present a generous collection of high-resolution images, and we partner with quality suppliers for albums and prints when couples choose them — ensuring your photographs look as good on the wall as they do on screen. While weddings are our core focus, we also offer relaxed engagement and family portrait sessions for those who want a lighter, lifestyle approach to capturing relationships and milestones. Above all, we love weddings: meeting couples, hearing the laughter, and creating images that let you re-live the day. If you want a friendly, trusted team who blend documentary storytelling with creative flair, Martelle Photography in Hucknall is ready to capture your day.
