Sara and Joe’s Engagement Session – Hobe Sound, FL

October 19th, 2011 Chris Martin Blog, Engagements No comments

Last week I had an engagement session with the amazing couple, Sara and Joe! They love the Pittsburgh Steelers and wanted to incorporate their dogs, Vader and Lilly into the shoot so our first setup was in a field in Hobe Sound to capture them hanging out and playing with their pups. We then took the dogs back and Sara and Joe had a little picnic close to the beach to enjoy some time and wine together. Joe is a Swat Team Officer in Jupiter and Sara runs a homeschool program, with her alter ego being “Suzy Homemaker” so we played off of that for the final set up with Joe coming through the kitchen as Sara was making dinner to ward off any intruders! They actually had me over for dinner afterwards and I have to say, Sara is an amazing cook! Check out all of the photos after the jump, and I am really excited to be shooting their wedding on April 28th, 2012!

Brittany and Leo’s Engagement Session – Stuart, FL

September 25th, 2011 Chris Martin Blog, Engagements No comments

I met up with Leo and Brittany a few weeks ago in Stuart, FL to shoot their Engagement session for them. They wanted to do something a little more fun that showed off some of their personality so we started with some images at Brittany’s Office (she is an accountant) and Leo acting out a bit with his rock-star personality! Be sure to check out more photos after the Jump!

An Oregon Fairytale – Samantha and Matt’s Wedding Day

August 26th, 2011 Chris Martin Blog No comments

Last week I flew out to Portland, Oregon to capture images of the beautiful wedding of Samantha and Matt Moore. The setting was at Miller Farm, 2 hours away from Portland, and a few miles away from Mount Hood which happens to be the highest point in Oregon at 11,249 ft. The farm was set up beautifully for the wedding with the bride and groom staying in a tree house on site, and many friends and family also staying in different homes, and campsites on the grounds.

I was with Sam and Matt for 3 days before the wedding as well as a few days after, so I plan on making multiple posts about my travels and our journey together throughout the week. I wanted to start by putting up a few of my favorite images from the actual wedding so scroll below to see just how beautiful it was!

The funny thing is that Samantha and Matt are both amazing photographers (hence the image of their rings on the Hasselblad) so shooting this wedding was definitely a challenge for me, but I had the most amazing time and learned a lot being with them. Make sure to check out their work at http://www.SoManyMoments.com/ Also, Matt owns an IPhone Repair store in Portland and they will fix your phone if you ship it out to them so be sure to go to http://www.wiredirepair.com/ as well!

Make sure to check out more of this post after the jump!

Tara and Greg’s Engagement Session – West Palm Beach, FL

February 28th, 2011 Chris Martin Blog, Engagements No comments

In October of this year I will be photographing the wedding of Greg Quadagno and Tara Martin. Part of their wedding package included an engagement session which is a fun and integral part of beginning the process of your wedding photography. My engagement sessions usually last around 2 hours and are a very relaxed and laid back approach to photography. We get together and make some amazing images in the comfort of your own home, your favorite park, bookstore, coffee shop, where you proposed or even where you had your first date! These images come in handy as your wedding comes closer by utilizing them in the form of save the date cards or what Greg and Tara are using them for, a customized sign in guest book! The quest book gives some pizzaz to the standard sign in book. Your friends and family can actually enjoy flipping through the pages of it to see some beautiful images of a couple sharing their love for each other, instead of just signing a bland and un-interesting lined guestbook.

Trey – Children’s Portraits

December 10th, 2009 Chris Martin Blog, Children No comments

Last weekend I was hired to take some photos for Kelly Chesney of her son, Trey.  I have been doing a lot of random child photography lately because of all of my friends that have recently had babies, but it is usually spur of the moment snapping away and not something that is a set up shoot.  The main thing I have learned about taking pictures of babies, is that you have to move super fast!  They never sit is one place and it is very hard to give a 17 month old direction!   When you get the good shots though, boy they are amazing!

Trey was a wonderful sport, and I had an awesome time working with the Chesneys!  We also got some amazing images in the process.  I used some external lighting on these and some of the shots I did with natural light but I will be posting a blog soon with some in depth lighting info for all of you who are interested!
