Our family is incredibly thankful for the kindness and professionalism Martin brought during a very painful moment in our lives. He covered my mother’s funeral with genuine care, capturing the emotion and warmth in a way that honoured her beautifully. The photos were stunning, respectful, heartfelt, and never intrusive and many of our guests have shared how meaningful they found them. Having these memories preserved so sensitively has brought us great comfort. I would gladly recommend Martin to anyone in need of a photographer who leads with both skill and compassion. More...

Well Funerals are usually sad occasions! Your Mum’s was a celebration of her life and I enjoyed my time with you all. Thank you for hiring me. The photos turned out well. I was worried about being intrusive and I hope you hardly noticed me and love the photos forever.

We recently worked with Journey of Life Media for my father’s memorial, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. From the very start, their approach was sensitive and respectful, fully understanding the importance of the day. They not only captured the true essence of the event but also guided us thoughtfully on what additional material would work best, making the whole process seamless. The final video is an incredible keepsake — something we can treasure and share with family members, including those who weren’t able to attend. The interactions throughout were professional yet personal, and the end result exceeded all expectations. Journey of Life Media truly provided us with a gift that will keep my father’s memory alive for years to come. More...

Martin was lovely, he has a few problems setting up but once he had it up and running a good laugh was had by all using it. got some cracking pictures. Just wished we could have used it a little longer really but couldn't be helped with the issues he was having. More...

Martin went above and beyond to capture our day exactly how we wanted! We had nothing but amazing feedback from all of our guests of how lovely and good he was at his job! Martin met all of his time frames for delivering the work he had promised and sometimes even beat them and we got them early! The reel of the day is probably my favourite! He's truly managed to capture our day with loads of little videos that sometimes pictures just don't do justice!

Id like very much to thank Martin for the time and
Effort he has put into our wedding photoraphy,
Martin was extremely pleasant and easy to work with both before hand, finding out what we wanted from him and on our actual wedding day. He was able to take the reins organising the guests and yet somehow we were still in control. And yet he also melded into the back ground and ultimately has left us with a legacy of beautiful photographs of our memorable day for which we are truly truly thankful.
Thank your Very much indeed Martin. More...

Whilst on my 2 week search for a Magic Mirror for my 30th birthday party, when making a final post for recommendations and information, Journey of life media reached out to me. Martin emailed the different services/packages hey provides. I spoke to many people who hire out magic mirrors but Martin was the only one who impressed me. Martin wanted to know as much as he could about the event and was very passionate about wanting to link in the theme and capture my guests having a great time. From the start Martin was a joy to speak with and shared his expertise with me, along with explaining in depth with me about the different packages and what he thought would suit my party, guests and also what would suit me as the host. The packages are very affordable and different payment options were available. I was able to pay with credit card which was a relief at the time as the magic mirror was one of the last minute purchases.

Martin was well on his way running the magic mirror Photobooth by the start time agreed and stopped at the time agreed. There is an option to extend for an hourly fee.

The party was on the Saturday night and the online gallery which was password protected was emailed to me by Monday Afternoon to share with my guests so they could go on and download the images from the night.

Thank you so much Martin for providing a wonderful service and giving my guests something to enjoy! I will not hesitate to book for future events. More...

This was my first experience of having my photograph taken by a professional photographer so I was a little nervous and a bit apprehensive. But Martin was excellent, very professional and friendly at the same time and put me at ease straight away. He is clearly very good with people with a warm personality and worked extremely hard to get the best outcome for me. He advised me but I felt it was a real collaboration between the two of us. He spent time understanding the brief and got the best results for me and achieved the briefed described at the outset. He clearly has passion for what he does, underlined by his commitment and desire to get the best result. A great experience for me, well done Martin, I would recommend him unreservedly. More...

Martin, what an absolute legend! I have to say, he is truly the best photographer out there. We recently had the pleasure of having him capture the special moments at my mother's 50th birthday party, and I cannot recommend him enough.

From the very beginning, Martin impressed us with his friendly and professional demeanor. He knew exactly what to do to ensure he captured all the important moments and created stunning photographs that we will cherish forever. His attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of the event was truly remarkable.

One thing that really set Martin apart was his magic mirror. This unique addition to his photography services added an extra touch of fun and excitement to the party. Our guests absolutely loved it, and it made for some unforgettable moments and photos that we will treasure forever.

If you are looking for a photographer that will go above and beyond to deliver exceptional results, Martin is the one to choose. His magic mirror and professional photography services are simply outstanding. Trust me, you will not be disappointed. I wholeheartedly recommend Martin to anyone in need of a top-notch photographer.
