MM Photos celebrates 5 years!

Eastern suburbs based MM PHOTOS take Pride in shooting weddings and Portraiture and this year they celebrate five years. Photos live On for generations and are treasured by family members of any age.

Founder Michael Martin says, “Photography is my lifelong passion and creative expression. Everyone’s ultimate dream is to make a living doing what he or she love’s and I am truly blessed and grateful, to be living my dream”.

Inspiration to begin MM PHOTOS began after working for Sydney’s top 2 wedding photography businesses. Now the studio prides itself on producing a customised and personal service for their clients. From the first moment one walks into the studio they are given the VIP treatment. Once booked they receive a celebrative gift and at all times meet with the photographer who will be shooting their event. The photographer takes time to get to know the personality of the couple so that they feel relaxed and happy to be themselves. “We believe this personalised service is the winning formula to capture the best possible photos on their special day”, says Michael. “We offer engagement shoots, a nice way to warm up to your wedding and are proud to say we end up documenting family and pet portraits through to pregnancy shots as clients trust us and covet our work”, he says.

Photographers at MM PHOTOS go to great lengths to get the perfect shots such as lying on the ground, climbing on roofs and through bushes, even hanging upside down! These are a sample of the many ways this studio captures the moment unobtrusively. They can also provide the use of a drone to capture fantastic aerial images. Take a look at their photographic magic on their new website http://mmphotos.com.au

From a young age he was inspired by his father whom shared the same passion and enjoyed shooting personalities.
