Weddings

Victoria and Tom are very much a no-fuss kind of couple. They wanted their wedding day to be as simple as possible, and their wedding photography to be as unobtrusive (ie quick and painless!) as possible. I spent two hours with them, at the lovely ceremony at St Mary’s and then a quick half hour [...]

Tracey and Ashley met and fell in love in Tokyo back when I was still living there. I remember hearing that they’d become a couple and how delighted we all were. The years rolled on and one day I received a mysterious invitation from Ashley to attend a surprise dinner for he and Tracey. I [...]

It’s very hard to take photographs while you are teary. During their vows, there wasn’t a dry eye in the tiny party of five at the elopement ceremony of Estee and Troy. So intimate, so pure and simple. Simply beautiful. This is a quick sneak peek. There will be some more to come, as soon [...]

Catrin and Philip were married on a crazy windy afternoon in October, in front of an intimate crowd of their best friends and family members. It was so very special. Exquisitely choreographed, beautifully executed, full of thoughtfully subtle details and with a heavy focus on the people most important to the couple – most of [...]

Phew, it’s been busy around here! Nice to get a chance to sit down and catch up with the blog. There is a swag of photo’s I want to share, but first…. I’ve been wanting to do a post about the increasingly popular production of Custom Made Wedding Photo Books as opposed to the traditional [...]

My supremely talented colleague and friend Lizzy Sawdon had been booked by Justin and Emily to photograph their wedding at St Mary’s by the Sea, and she asked me to come along and assist – she knows I really need to get my wedding portfolio filled up with tropical looking weddings which are so completely [...]

My supremely talented colleagues and friends Lizzy Sawdon and Ali George were booked to photograph and video Marco and Kirsty’s wedding, and Lizzy asked me if I’d come along and assist them at The Sea Temple Resort in Port Douglas a few weeks back. What a special wedding it was, so full of big Italian [...]

I have just finished working on my Port Douglas Wedding Packages PDF, it covers elopement packages as well as regular wedding packages so if you are considering keeping it super simple and eloping, then drop me a line at martinecottonphotography@gmail.com. Oh, and I’m always up for a Trash the Dress session!

In an effort to get some more “tropical” looking weddings into my portfolio, I’ve started assisting the very lovely and super-talented wedding local photojournalist Lizzy Sawdon at a bunch of weddings this season. Actually, we are also planning to do a portrait  exhibition together, with other great local photographers, Ms Ali George and Nanna Soderstrom [...]

Ashley recently popped the question to Tracey and she, of course, said hell yes! These are some of their engagement photo’s. It was a delight to shoot, they are such great people and I wish them all sorts of joy and passion in their married life.

Jane and Daisuke got married the first time around in Melbourne a year or more ago. When they moved back to Tokyo to be closer to his widowed mother, the Japanese family suggested that a Japanese-style wedding here in Tokyo for them to attend would be a wonderful thing since they weren’t able to make [...]

Lisa and Tomo asked me to shoot their engagement and wedding photos. I did their engagement shots on a lovely sunny day out at Showa Kinen Koen back in May, and then shot their wedding and Ni-Ji-Kai last Satarday. I was pretty nervous as the only weddings I’ve shot before were for friends, and they [...]
