Martin Bell Photography

It’s been a while since I’ve done an about me post so here we are 😊 Also a big hello to all my new followers 👋🏻 Here’s a few fun facts about me that not everybody knows ✨I am Newcastle United mad and currently loving watching them (this is not always the case 😂). ✨ I used to be a professional ballet dancer with @northernballet for over 9 years and got to perform many lead roles across the UK and in many different countries. ✨ I got married to Christie at @rhinefieldhousehotel in 2011 and we now have 3 beautiful children - Hetty, Connie and Iris. ✨ In 2010 I qualified with a diploma in photography from The Photography Institute. ✨ I photographed my first wedding in 2011 and was instantly addicted to the vibe a wedding day brings - it’s infectious. ✨ I’ve been photographing weddings full time since 2012 and have now photographed over 500 weddings. ✨ I love meeting new people and hearing their stories - it’s what drives the style of my photography. ✨ I’ve been awarded the @twia South Central best wedding photographer 3 times. ✨ I’m an internationally acclaimed dance photographer and have photographed some of the biggest dance companies in the UK. ✨ I have photographed the largest international dance competition - The Fonteyn - for the last 2 years. You can check out some of my dance photography here - @martinbelldancephotography ✨ I photograph between 40-50 weddings a year and always approach every wedding as if it were my first If you’re looking for a photographer for your wedding I’d love to hear from you 😊 I still have some availability for 2025 and 2026 is starting to book up quickly.

A little BTS from Saturdays wedding. Nighttime photos - what you take vs what you can achieve. The editing process is so important to photography. Knowing what you can and can’t do to files once they are on your computer is paramount to the way I shoot. I love the editing process as it really helps make your vision come to life. I am now offering 1-2-1 training from beginners to advanced and so if you’d like to know more please DM or email for more info 👍🏻 Enjoy ☺️ #photographytricks #photographytraining #121classes #photoediting #lightroom #lightroomtutorials #lightroomediting #weddingphotography #hampshireweddingphotographer #weddingphotographeruk #hampshireweddingsuppliers
