E L A T E D. Christin is the reason our elopement didn’t dissolve into beautiful, chaotic nonsense. We got married on Halloween with a small group of friends and family, and Christin somehow managed to be our photographer and our unofficial coordinator, vibe manager, crowd wrangler, and general badass all at once. She was the one person keeping things moving while also making sure everyone was laughing, relaxed, and occasionally in the right place. No stress, no awkward posing, no weird “what do I do with my hands” moments—just us, having the best time, while she quietly worked her magic in the background (and sometimes in the middle of everything). My husband and I usually get weird and stiff in front of cameras, but with Christin, it felt like we were just goofing around with a friend who happened to be catching every perfect, candid, romantic moment on film. And the photos? Unreal. We look like ourselves—but cooler. Our guests loved her, we adored her, and honestly? I don’t think our wedding day would’ve been nearly as fun or memorable without her. If you’re even considering hiring her—just do it. You’ll thank yourself later.

Where do I begin? Christin is absolutely amazing. My photos were more beautiful than I can ever dream of. She made the day so much fun and I loved how she captured amazing photos of not only us, but our guests and small details as well. She’s literally the best and everything was absolutely dreamy! You HAVE to have her as your photographer for those special moments 🩷

Where to even begin?! Working with Christin was an absolute blast! We loved every moment of our time spent with her as she captured the most amazing photos of us across Northern Ireland. My fiancé and I got engaged in 2022 and were taking a trip of a lifetime to Ireland with our families. We had decided to get our engagements done while there and happened across The Martins Instagram page in the search for a photographer. Immediately, I fell in love her with photography. My fiancé isn't one for posing for the camera, but immediately upon meeting Christin for the very first time she made us feel so comfortable. Throughout our shoot she asked us questions about our story and kept it fun and easy going. Not once did we feel like we were being "posed" she was all about movement, laughs, and romance! Nothing beats chasing a sunset in a beautiful dress with the one you love, making new friends and capturing awesome memories along the way. I HIGHLY recommend working with Christin, she's easy going, so funny, and awesome to work from beginning to end. I will treasure these photos forever, they're absolutely stunning.

Holy smokes. Christin is a true artist. My husband and I flew to Ireland from Atlanta to elope and booked two days with The Martins Photography. Christin took us to beautiful locations and we were blown away by how gorgeous they all were. She made the experience so fun. But the pictures. Omg. The pictures. She captured the light so beautifully, there were several with rainbows, and I was sobbing as I went through them. They were stunning. All our friends and family could not believe them and my husband and I have never seen anyone with wedding photos like this. She also gave us makeup, hair, and floral recommendations that all came out perfectly. If eloping is something you are considering, The Martins Photography is the way to go!

Where can we even start! From the planning stages to our wedding day, Christin went above and beyond to ensure our elopement was special. We had many laughs as well as many tears and we are so thankful to have had Christin’s incredible talent capture these memories for us. Her unique style, attention to detail and her ability to make us feel comfortable made for an amazing experience. We will treasure these moments forever and we thank Christin so much.
