Martin Photography

Absolutely loved working with Joelle, Guy and Julie on our engagement and wedding shoot! I am a chronic over thinker with no experience in front of the camera, so I was concerned that the shots would look too staged or stiff. Joelle, Guy and Julie were a dream to communicate with and actively listened/cared about my fears/concerns. I ended up feeling totally at ease and didn't even notice the camera most of the time. The results were even more amazing than I could have dreamed of and the process of getting there was actually FUN!Guy is a master at making minor body adjustments/placement to maximize the shot (without losing the natural feel of the moment!) and finding really beautiful locations/angles/details to give it that extra something special. Joelle, you can just tell that she loves what she does and she genuinely cares about the people she is photographing. She goes above and beyond for her client, even picking up a shovel to clear some snow that no one else noticed at the wedding! She was just so awesome to work with!As a father-daughter duo, Guy and Joelle really compliment each other and work together beautifully - I am already planning to use their services for professional shots later this year. 100% would recommend them this wonderful family!

Joelle flew all the way to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico, to capture our special day. What can I say....she’s an Artist! She really understands lighting, shadows, angles and colours. But more importantly she truly understood my vision and what kind of photos I wanted. Even my husband - who does not typically enjoy photo shoots - enjoyed himself and couldn't wait to see the photos! She is extremely intuitive and so easy to work with. She is also very organized and took the time to scout out the best locations before hand so we weren't running around the resort wasting time. She's also really good at giving instructions for posing - you don't have to be a model for the photos to be Vogue worthy. Thank you doesn’t even come close to expressing our appreciation with the entire photography experience. Guess who we'll choose for our pregnancy shoot when that day comes!?!? More...

My wife and I had a maternity photo shoot at Studio G.R. Martin. The experience we had with Julie and Guy was amazing. They were super fun to work with, very talented, and professional. They captured every moment in detail while making sure my wife was comfortable the whole time. We are absolutely thrilled by the finished product and look forward to working with them again. More...

Our wedding day was the Best. Day. Ever.

The only downside? It goes by in the blink of an eye. And long after the vows were said, the speeches toasted and the celebrations over, having professional and experienced wedding photographers like Julie and Guy from Studio G R Martin on board to brilliantly capture the emotions and the joy of our wedding day increased the value of those photographs a thousand times over.

We have driven by their beautiful studio near our home in Cumberland hundreds of times over the years, never realizing what a gem we had in our midst! After my first phone call to Julie, we absolutely clicked.......she is warm, effusive and bubbly and I loved her enthusiasm and energy. I instantly knew we did not need to look further, and a subsequent meeting with Julie and her equally talented husband Guy only confirmed that hunch. They took the time to ask questions, get to know us and fully explain the process so that we knew exactly what to expect.

Our wedding day was absolutely magical in spite of the cool weather; the separately taken pre-wedding photos, shot at their indoor studio, their stunning outdoor landscape, (complete with gorgeous rock gardens AND a pond!) left this bride and groom both relaxed and happy before the ceremony. This husband and wife team really communicated well throughout each session and kept things moving and consistently on time. We especially appreciated their expert direction and guidance for many of the photos ("turn slightly to the left, chin down, right foot forward"); nothing was left to chance, and their artistic eye for a balanced and beautifully photographed scene is evident throughout their work. They worked respectfully and discreetly in the church, yet captured every important aspect of the ceremony. Everyone at our wedding commented on how much fun our photographers were; I don't think anyone will ever forget Julie teetering on the very top step of a 6 foot ladder with the grace of a ballerina to capture that all-important group photo outside the church after the wedding. It was just one of the many ways that they demonstrated that day their professionalism and a heartfelt passion for their art.

In the end, the best advice came from my daughter: so much money and effort is spent on a wedding, and to leave the documentation of those precious memories to just anyone could be a sad regret. It was a last minute decision to extend their services well beyond the beginning of the reception, and we are so happy that we did! Julie never sat still.......if there was something going in, Julie was immediately there to capture it. She went above and beyond to seek out moments we hadn't even thought about. We literally teared up when we first saw our wedding photos; they completely exceeded our expectations, and we have awesome photos of our day, our family and our guests that we truly cherish.

Bravo Julie and Guy.....you are the best! We loved every minute of our wedding day, and we thank you for capturing it so beautifully; we are very proud to share these memories with our family and friends and display them in our home. The many industry awards on display in your studio are well deserved; you made us feel like royalty that day, and we would not hesitate a moment to recommend your services to any bride and groom who wanted to forever recall those magical wedding day memories just as they happened :-)

Please don't hesitate to contact us for more details of our experience with this wonderful duo!

We were lucky enough to have Joelle and Guy as photographers for our wedding in December 2018 - they were absolutely amazing. Very professional and punctual to deal with, and flexible as our timeline and schedule changed during our planning process. During our big day, they went above and beyond to capture the most spectacular moments! They were excellent coaches to help us both (and wedding party) look our best, but they were not demanding - making the photos feel much more natural. I would definitely recommend Studio G.R. Martin if you want to remove any stress about having all the special moments captured on such an important day! Thank you! More...

My time with Julie, Guy and Joelle was spectacular. This was my first time getting my pictures done by professionals and I am more than satisfied would the end results. I've shown my portfolio to my actor friends at school and they were not only impressed, but a couple of them were also debating on driving from Toronto to Ottawa to get new headshots. Thank you for the amazing service! More...

I have had incredible experiences with Guy and Julie. We first hired them for our engagement and wedding photos. Later, we hired them for our pregnancy photos, and then the baby photos. Following that I hired them for my firm's corporate photography on numerous occasions (updates every few years as the firm has changed). Guy and Julie are pure talent and quality. You will not be disappointed. More...

We had Julie and Joelle as our photographers and they were both fantastic! We had an engagement shoot beforehand where we got to see and feel their style, which resonated with us. They have really good ideas and are able to make you feel at ease during the whole process. Their knowledge, professionalism, creativity and helpfulness are tangible and were greatly appreciated. From holding shawls, getting in line to pay for museum fees and fixing bustles, they were eager and willing to help us with all of it. They know what looks good in pictures and can capture magical moments, for example, our reflection in a glass stair case across from us which makes the picture look almost dream like. We are SO happy we chose them to photograph our special day. We will definitely be contacting them again to capture our future life milestones. More...

Studio G.R. Martin has been involved in many of the most treasured moments in our lives. We have trusted them to capture moments both big and small and will continue to do so for many years to come. Not only are they phenomenal photographers and artists, but also caring, thoughtful and generous individuals. Their artistry has surpassed our vision for our sessions each and every time. In taking the time to get to know their clients, you are put at ease during your session and they are able to capture, perfect, timeless, beautiful family photographs. At each session, we have laughed, smiled and lost track of time in the fun that we are having while they snap those hoped for picture perfect moments. They always know how to make you feel your very best and it shows when you see the final images. All of this is capped off by prints that have no equivalent in the photography market. Their techniques are superb and are greeted with astonishment when seen by those seeking a top notch photographer. Their work and their generosity have brought me to joy filled tears on more than one occasion. My family and I are thrilled beyond words that the photographers of Studio G.R. Martin have been a part of our cherished moments and can't thank them enough for their vision, artistry, generosity and kindness. Kudos to the Studio G.R. Martin Team!!! More...
