This week we catch up and chat with Martin Dabek, a UK wide & Destination wedding photographer.

How long have you been photographing weddings for and how did you get into it?

I have been photographing weddings since 2009. My first wedding happened to be a destination wedding in Mexico for friends of mine. The Mexican wedding was so much fun that I decided to start my career as Bristol wedding photographer.

What do you particularly like about photographing weddings?

Discovering new location, getting to know couples and their guests and creating something timeless for them.

What is your favourite part of the day?

My favourite part is time just after the Sunset, when I can create some low-light creative shots.

How would you describe your style and approach?

I would describe myself as reportage wedding photographer with artistic/creative twist. I would say 90% of my photography documents my couple story and the other 10% would be creative portraiture during the day and evening.
