What our customers say about us ...
WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY:









“We had no idea where to start when it came to choosing a photographer for our wedding. Our next door neighbour recommended Martin so we went to see him and got on really well with him – we booked him there and then. We met with him the week before the wedding to run through the group shots we wanted taking, and considering the dynamics in our families he handled a potentially awkward situation incredibly well!
On the day Martin and his wife Linda were really professional, courteous and organized. Linda was so unobtrusive as she was taking reportage shots (many of our guests commented on this) and captured some beautiful moments that I know our friends will buy reprints of.
We would without question recommend them to other people. After the event it’s your photos you have to look back on and we are so lucky that Martin was recommended to us because we have some fabulous memories captured in our wedding photos.
Thank you Martin and Linda for being such an integral part of our day.
Andy & Jo Dean, Peterborough”

WEDDING & EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY:

Martin and Linda Bird of Martin Bird Photography have provided photography services at our events on numerous occasions and we have always been delighted with the results.

They are extremely professional in their approach in that they quietly get on with the job without causing hassle to the guests. Wedding Photography can sometimes be difficult to manage as it is quite time consuming and guests get bored but Martin takes the time before hand by meeting with the bride and groom to ascertain exactly what pictures they want to eliminate any time wasting on the day. I have many letters of thanks from previous brides and grooms who have been delighted with their albums supplied by Martin Bird Photography. Martin is by far one of if not the best Photographers in this area.

This year alone, Martin has provided photography at several events organised by The Main Event and two of them have been very high profile events namely the NSPCC May Charity Ball at the Haycock Hotel and a Diamond Wedding Anniversary for 100+ guests held at Belton Woods Hotel, Grantham where there was celebrity entertainment. Again, the photographs taken at these events were very good and both the client and guests were pleased with their pictures.
I would recommend Martin Bird Photography for all types of events and will continue to use their services as much as possible.
Yours sincerely
Carol Bunning – Event Organiser
The Main Event



PORTRAITS:







For Professionals...

As a professional image coach I need up to date Portraits of myself to accompany my magazine and newspaper articles. Martin makes the experience so enjoyable that you forget to feel self conscious. Better still, the resulting images are so stylish. I highly recommend him.

I needed some professional portraits done for publicity purposes in conjunction with my book.
From the moment I arrived at the studio, Martin put me totally at ease and the session was not only relaxed, it was enjoyable. I tend not to like photographs of myself but I was delighted with the results.

SCHOOLS

At Linchfield Community Primary School we have worked with Martin Bird for many years. Martin and his wife, Linda’s, professionalism is outstanding and as a result the photo’s they produce for our parents are excellent.
Martin and Linda have helped us on many occasions to raise money for our children through various events such as helping to organise a “School birthday Calendar” and providing their services for a “Portrait Evening” in school. Without their hard work events such as these would not have been such a success.

Linda assists Martin to make our children always feel relaxed and calm when they are in school working with us and we enjoy our working relationship with them.
