Russell Martin Photography | Wedding & Lifestyle Photographer | Ocala | Gainesville


	Jordan & Mark It is simple finding a photographer! That is what every bride to be wants to hear right? Well it is true! The first time i met with Russell I was floored! He answered every question I had plus more without me even having to ask him anything. I was the bride on a small budget and told Russell I had to get back to him, because of course I had to shop aournd. Silly me, Russell's prices are fantastic! Especially for what you get! I called him back and booked my wedding date as soon as possible! The wedding rolled around and that was the second time I had met Russell, it was great he made me and everyone else feel so comfortable! During the ceremoney and reception you hardly knew he was there. Once I was able to see my pictures online I honestly went through the slide show hundreds of times with my jaw open! i couldn't believe how beautiful his photography was. It was like art to him, not just a picture. You could feel things through his photography like you are still in that very special moment! My husband and I will cherish our wedding photos for a lifetime! I have to thank Russel for all his hard work and for sharing his wonderful talent with all my guests and my husband and I.

	Karen & Jason The Most Amazing Wedding Pictures! Russell Martin Photography recently did my pictures for my wedding. I must say I have never seen pictures like this before. He is in a class of his own......he is unique and creative but still traditional as well. He made our day so very special for us. We recently viewed our on-line proofs and both my husband and I was amazed. He captured every single little detail of the day. Russell is easy to work with, carefree and by the end of the day felt like a close friend. I highly recommend him for an special occaision and if you are a bride out there looking for the perfect photographer, you have now found him. Pentecostal Holiness, Cross City, FL
	Emily & Travis When my husband and I were planning for our wedding we heard many times that finding a photographer is one of the most important decisions that a Bride and Groom will make. We researched and tried to do our homework on the style of photography we wanted that fit would into our wedding budget. The night that we met Russell, we were driving home, and there was no discussion about whether or not we wanted to consider him to be our photographer, because we both knew he was it. Not only is he very professional but he gives you beyond 100% on the job. After rescheduling our engagement photo's because of rain, the day it was reschedule it rained. There was no way around it, and Russell worked in the rain, while we stayed dry. The pictures were amazing. During our wedding, Russell was once again amazing, and made our wedding experience even more incredible and special. It is normal for weddings to have hiccups, and for unexpected things to happen especially when pictures are being taken. Our wedding had a few, and Russell was so great and understanding. We waited anxiously for the pictures to be ready, but it was worth the wait. They are incredible! Everyone that has seen the pictures asks the same question, "How will you ever be able to choose?" We are finding that it will definitely be a difficult but enjoyable task because they are all fantastic photos. We have nothing but appreciation and gratitude for Russell for not only giving us the photos that are beyond what we imagined but help making our engagement, planning, and wedding day so wonderful. We highly recommend Russell to anyone! Thank you Russell. We hope you enjoyed the job, as much as we enjoyed having you as our photographer.

	Courtney & Keith Dear Bride To Be! If I had one piece of advice to you it would be to consider Russell Martin for your photographer! After countless interviews and weeks spent researching the internet for the perfect photographer, we were just not happy. Although we met with many talented individuals, we just had not found the "it" factor we were searching for. On your wedding day, you want someone who is both talented and trustworthy. We dreamed of someone who could capture moments in time with both a romantic and journalistic style. When Keith and I met with Russell, we instantly knew he was the perfect fit for us. His work was beautiful and had a style like no other we had seen. Being a journalist myself, I longed for someone to capture "real" moments, not just posed pictures. Russell was able to do that! We are very happy with our decision and would recommend him to many brides and grooms to come. If you just take a moment to speak with Russell and see his work, the magic will speak for itself!

	Angela of A'vie Weddings & Events "Russell is a great photographer. He has the ability to work with any type of client that is willing to allow him to shoot their picture, wedding or event. He has a terrific style that is able to capture their personality through the eyes of a camera. He is really a joy to work with. His ethic in how he does business is one you don't always find in vendors. He will work wonderfully with your guests at your event or wedding. He gets along with everyone. May you enjoy working with him on your next event." Gainesville, FL
	Karyl & Joel After attending many weddings, I have seen a wide variety of photographers at work. None of them can compare to the excellent quality of work provided by Russell Martin Photography! He, as well as his assistant, were prompt and perfectly prepared for my wedding day! They had a very calm but efficient attitude which was a tremendous help during our wedding. They were also very responsive to all the special requests we had by ca[turing all the important moments that a wedding provides, as well as adding a large variety of creative modern photos throughout the entire day. Unlike other photographers' proofs I've seen before, his proofs were all touched up and made to look their best prior to our viewing. He also has a very unique yet distinguished style that adds class and formality to his photographs. All in all, we're very satisfied with Russell and the results of our pictures, and we highly recommend him for any of your photography needs. First United Methodist Church, Sebring, FL

	Karen Excellent Photographer! Russell Martin was an extremely professional photographer. My family and I hired him to take family portraits for our parent's fifty wedding anniversary. He met us at a local park and maximized the hour that we had at the park. He took over 50 pictures of various locations, poses and subjects. The ease of looking at the photos, ordering and sharing them with the rest of our family was great! I would highly recommend Russell for your quality of photographs, his professionalism and ease of seeing the finished products! I can't wait to get my pictures in the mail!" Shalom Park, Ocala, FL
	Valerie & Adam Russell Martin was an excellent photographer! He did our wedding and every photo turned out beautifully. He was able to give us great traditional portraits as well as more artistic and fun compositions -- a great mix of memories. He was professional and personable. Even those in the wedding who hate having their pictures taken enjoyed working with Russell. A great experience all around! Thanks!

	Kerry & Chris We would recommend Russell. He was absolutely wonderful to work with. My husband and I are both camera shy and Russell was so understanding and our pictures turned out better than we ever expected so much so that we are still having a difficult time picking our photos as we loved most of them. Our family and friends who have hosted other events or worked with other photographers were also very impressed with him.

	Wendy & David Absolutely!! Russell got me out of a pinch, and was there and working the whole time. He took advantage of the situation and photographed other things (shoes, dress, jewelry, etc) inbetween pictures of me getting ready and leaving. He was very professional and easy to deal with. Russell did a great job and went above and beyond what I expected. His pictures were great! Traditional and journalistic pictures met my needs and my mom's at the same time!! He did a great job and my family and party really enjoyed working with him as well! I would highly recommend him for any wedding or event! The Cypress Room, Silver Springs, Ocala, FL

	Scott Wow, my wife and I absolutely love the photos he took at our wedding. He stayed from the beginning of the day all the way until the end of the reception. He put together a photo album for us that would have taken us forever. Distance was not a problem, he gladly accepted it. He edited many of the photos with really cool effects. He even hired a videographer that did a great job. We are extremely happy with his work and wish that he was available for my sister's wedding. If you get a chance to book Russell, do it today!
