I have NEVER seen pictures like Martelli Photography pictures. Call me biased since they shot my wedding, but I honestly think it's the truth. Every single picture I would have possibly wanted, I've got. They are absolutely gorgeous. Brett is so easy to work with and the 2nd shooter, Stephanie, was wonderful. Even during my freak out an hour before the ceremony because of my nerves, they were a dream to work with. They kept me calm and actually joked with me enough to help me settle down. The entire process, beginning to end, from the first meeting was awesome. Not a single complaint!!

I almost wish I could give more than 5 stars for each category. Brett is awesome! That's all I can say. Even with the snow on the wedding day, he "plowed" through and took amazing pictures. Recommedning a thousand times over!

From our first meeting with Brett, through the last picture taken at our reception, Brett was simply amazing.
One of my favorite things about Brett is that itās always easy to communicate with him. He encouraged us to call, email or text if we had any questions, concerns. Needless to say, there were many texts and emails, but Brett was always happy to answer our questions. Brett was always professional, and he was very friendly at the same time, which made it so easy to work with him. If only every photographer was as cool as Brett!
Our engagement sitting was a blast! We did it in Atlantic City, New Jersey. It was one of the hottest days of the summer (yikes). I was worried that the pictures wouldnāt come out because my fiancĆ© (now husband) and I were both sweating to death, but the pictures were absolutely gorgeous. We were floored and our friends and family loved them!
Our wedding day, from beginning to end was perfection. Brett and Stephanie (his second shooter) captured every moment possible and did everything they could to get the perfect shot. At one point, Brett was laying on the ground in his suit to get a picture of me and my husband. Thatās dedication people! Everyone was so impressed!
Many photographers take āposedā pictures. While Brett does posed pictures, he likes to capture moments as well, and heās damn good at it! I have no modeling experience, neither does my husband, but somehow, Brett has the ability to make all his subjects look like pros. Iāve been to many weddings, seen hundreds of photos and I can guarantee all the brides and grooms to be, that no one compares to Brett. He has an eye and can make the simplest thing look unique and beautiful. You can see the emotion he captures in his photos.
We received our proofs a couple weeks ago and they are beyond stunning! We will treasure all of them forever! I honestly donāt know how weāre going to narrow the pictures down to put in an album. The upside to thatā¦every bride should have that āproblemā ļ We have hundreds and we could not be happier!
There are no words that can describe Brettās talents, because they are unlike anything Iāve ever seen. I am still in contact with Brett, and I know we will use him again in the future ļ
All the above are what separates Brett from the rest. Go take a look at what he has to offer. I know if I would have booked anyone elseā¦the planning, our engagement photos, our wedding day, would not have been the same without Brett.
I encourage all brides and grooms to be to go to his website: www.martelliphotography.com. Check out Brett Martelli on facebook. I promise you will be blown away! Thank you so much Brett for everything!!!!!

Brett was recommended to us by a friend who was also using him for her wedding a few months prior to ours. When we met with him, we loved not just what he showed us by way of photography, but also his friendly and sociable personality.
Throughout the process, Brett was flexible (allowing us to create a package with everything we wanted) and accessible if we had questions. On the wedding day, Brett and Stephanie were fantastic to work with. They kept things moving without being pushy (we had our wedding on a hot July day, with most of the pictures taken before the ceremony so we could enjoy as much of the reception with our guests as possible).
Brett didn't make us wait long to view our proofs. The day we got them, I spent hours going through them! They caught so many moments- it is going to be hard to narrow it down to put together an album! We would definitely recommend Martelli Photography to other friends seeking a wedding photographer to capture their special day!

Brett was definitely the easiest most fun of our vendors to work with. From planning the event to spending most of our wedding day with him, we felt so relaxed knowing that he was capturing every moment and doing it with no stress.
His second shooter, Dawn, was a great help and a big asset to the outcome of our photos.
Thanks so much, Brett, for your hard-work and creativity, not to mention prompt return of the proofs!!
Martelli Photography is a "must-have" for your event. Met with MANY photographers and knew we had to have Brett...boy were we right!

The first person Steve and I called (after our parents) to confirm our wedding date was Brett and Martelli Photography. If he wasn't available, we were going to have to move our wedding date! There was no other photographer option for us--Martelli Photography was IT!
Steve and I were very excited for our wedding day to arrive to get married, of course, but also to have Brett capture the memories of our day in the artistic way that only he can!
Our families were most impressed with the IPad slideshow of pictures from earlier in the day that Brett displayed at our reception! Brett's techno-savvy approach to photography is second to none!
We cannot recommend Brett and his outstanding work more! He captured every special detail in our wedding that will help to preserve our memories for a lifetime! What more can you ask for?
Thank you, Brett and Shannon!

Brett: thank you, thank you for our beautiful Wedding Pictures. I definitely teared when we first viewed our photos...wait, who am I kidding- I still do and I've seen them about 100 times already! I never knew we could look so good! Danny was in awe when he saw the shots with his guys- they looked like the came right out of a magazine. Both you and Joe were on point with capturing the special moments throughout our Day.
Most importantly, You are a pleasure to work with; so easy going, professional, and passionate about your work- and it shines throughout every picture. From our first meeting, we knew you were the one! I can't tell you how many people said that your work was just out of this world. Many of my friends are married and I haven't seen quality like our photos. YOU ARE the go to photographer. Danny will tell you that I am not one to give out compliments frequently and I am very picky but you deserve every bit of praise. Thanks again Martelli!

I don't even know where to begin. From our initial interview right to our wedding day and even after our wedding day, Brett and his team were soo great to work with. He is so easy to get in touch with. Also very very professional. He made us feel so comfortable throughout everything and the pictures are AMAZING!! He is also extremely dedicated to his work and gets your photos to you so fast! We had all of our wedding photos 3 weeks after the wedding! I could go on and on about how wonderful Martelli Photography is and I would/will recommend him to all brides to be!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Brett and his team. From our first meeting through the wedding, Brett was wonderful to work with. He was accommodating to our busy schedules, gave us great ideas to make memorable photos, and was a pleasure to work with thorough the process. Our family and friends loved working with him (and his assistant, Joe) on the day of the wedding. We plan to recommend Brett to every bride-to-be that we know!

Brett is absolutely phenomenal. Our first meeting with him was comfortable and fun, we booked our wedding with him the night after we met with him. He was referred to me by a friend, and everything she said was true. Brett is great! He is incredibly flexible and willing to go above and beyond. On the day of our engagement sitting, it started to rain right around the time we were supposed to take pictures. Brett was flexible and rescheduled, until the sun came out of nowhere! Brett immediately turned right around, braved 76 traffic and met with us anyway. The day of, Brett was on time, and totally prepared. Leading up to the wedding he made me feel very comfortable. He made me feel like all of my questions/concerns were important and he even went out of the way to make both families happy. My wedding photos were phenomenal. No lie, when I first looked at them I teared up and said " I can't believe he made me look so pretty." Brett and his assistant were incredibly professional, and worked hard to make everything perfect from the minute they arrived to my house, until well after giving me the photos. I recommend Brett to everyone! When we have babies, I will definitely be calling Brett back to take portraits, he's amazing and I look forward to finding reasons to work with him again.

Brett & Shannon were amazing to work with throughout our wedding planning and delivered big on our special day. Martelli Photography was our first decision when booking our vendors and we're so glad we had them there for us on April 16. During our engagement sitting we got a taste of the awesomeness to come, and both Brett and Shannon were available by all means anytime we needed to run ideas or ask questions. They always got back to us promptly if not immediately, and the day of, we knew we were in good hands. They worked well with our other vendors, joked with our bridal party and guests, and captured some of the most amazing moments. They even hung my dress from a gorgeous chandeleir and got the most amazing pictures of my dress. We received "teasers" within the week, and our full proofs came so quickly everyone was amazed. We & our families laugh, smile, and cry looking through the stunning moments and images they captured of Mat and I, our families, our friends, and we especially love the dance floor pictures! Thank you Brett & Shannon, for being a part of our special day, and leaving us with such beautiful photos of our wedding day from start to finish!!

Brett and Stephanie were FANTASTIC!!! From day one when meeting with Brett, my husband and I felt SO comfortable with him. He is very down-to-earth and makes you feel at ease. On my wedding day, Stephanie and Brett were unbelievable! They were on time (even came early) to my parents house and jumped right in taking photos without EVER being pushy. I received so many compliments the day of my wedding of how nice they were to EVERYBODY. The photos that they took were OUT OF THIS WORLD - so good!! I have recommended Martelli Photography to so many of my friends. He is by far the best photographer in the area and worth every penny!

Brett and Shannon were absolutely fantastic to work with from the day we hired them until the wedding day. They followed through on all of our requests and were flexible and creative throughout the entire process. On the day of the event they were calm, organized, and extraordinarily professional. They were easy to find quickly when photo opportunities arose and happily obliged each of our requests.
We would pick Brett and Shannon again in a heartbeat and will recommend them highly to all of our friends and family.

Brett and Stephanie were EXCELLENT! From the time they arrived at my parent's house in the a.m. till the last few minutes till they left our reception they were energetic and always coming up with creativity shots. They were both very easy to work with and made eveyone feel comfortable throughout the whole day. We just recieved our pictures and they are AMAZING! I admire Brett for his modern techniques in photography! He truly is talented at what he does. I highly recommend his work for fun, creative, and AMAZING wedding photos

Brett was the first vendor I booked as soon as I confirmed my date and venue and he was the only vendor I actually enjoyed working with! I got prompt and polite responses to all questions, he was on time, and both he and Stephanie were a pleasure to work with. They work together seamlessly and their work is absolutely amazing. The creative ideas they had were great and made for some really fun pictures. We especially love the candid reception photos and the detail shots.
Everyone that looks at my wedding photos says they wish they had hired Martelli Photography. At the end of the wedding, we received an iPad of photos which was awesome--it was a great way to show off our amazing pictures to our families the next day. We received our images on DVD about 3 weeks after the wedding.
Brett did our engagement photos as well as our wedding and finally trash the dress which was SO much fun and made for some great pictures. His photography packages are worth every penny!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Martelli Photography. Brett and Stephanie were complete professionals, flexible with our needs due to changes in time, family, etc. etc. At the last minute, we wanted an extra hour of photography and they plugged right through - no questions asked. We've received rave reviews over our pictures. It is so difficult to narrow them down because each one is fabulous in its own right. They are creative/artistic with each of their shots yet make sure to get the traditional shots as well. Plus, they are just generally fun, energetic, and overall good people to be around.
We definitely plan to use Martelli Photography again in the future!

From the very beginning, Brett made us feel more like friends than a client. He was very professional while still being personable and a pleasure to work with. He and Dawn did an amazing job throughout our big day and their calm demeanor was a welcome sight on an anxiety-ridden day. They took some creative shots of us and the bridal party and then did a great job with the traditional posed photos with our families.
Our guests were excited that they even got to see a sneak preview of some of the photos taken throughout the day during the reception. My sister and her fiance were so happy with Brett and Dawn and the quality of their work that they booked Martelli for their upcoming wedding!
Thank you Brett and Dawn for making our day perfect and for capturing the emotion of the big day!!!

Martelli Photography is dedicated to service not just on the day of our wedding but also before hand. Bret was quick to respond to every one of my questions via e-mail, facebook, text or phone. He knew our personal style and expectations before the day and was sure to meet them and exceed our expectations. He and his team were great to work with - as my husband and I are not usually professionaly photographed - they were good at coaching and motivating us to get the pictures that we desired (which we needed). It was a VERY positive experience. We would HIGHLY recommend Martelli Photography to other brides (and grooms) to be!

Cannot say enough good things about Martelli Photography!!! Besides my husband, the photos are the only thing I get to take home from my wedding! And I am so glad I chose Martelli Photography to capture those memories. Brett and Shannon were excellent...so accommodating and extremely friendly yet professional. We had our ceremony in Virginia Beach and a reception the following week back in Pennsylvania, and Brett & Shannon were there for both. (Even though I felt like a pain having two locations and two dates...) they made me feel at ease and as though it wasn't a problem at all! They make everybody feel comfortable and not uptight in front of a camera and the finished product is AMAZING! I would have absolutely no reservations recommending them to anyone!
Thank you Brett & Shannon for capturing every emotion and memory from our wedding day(S!)

I don't know what I would have done had I not chosen Martelli Photography for my wedding day. Brett's creativity is beyond anything I could have ever imagined for my wedding photos. He brought with him an amazing team that helped capture every single special detail and moment that went along with my day. They were with me all day from 12pm to 1230am and it was just amazing.
Brett helped to capture everything that we had went over on my wedding list and was so easy to work with. I couldnt be happier.
And to top it off, as my husband and I were getting into our getaway car he slipped an Ipod in our pocket that had 150 pictures he had taken throughout the day on there. It made the ride back to the hotel that much more special because we got to preview our pictures instantly, and the photos were amazing! So creative and fun, so easy to work with, and what a great attitude. Most people dont expect everything to go exactly how you have discussed, but with Martelli Photography it went even better than expected and we just couldnt be happier.
Thank you so much for making our day perfect !!! And for giving us the photos to relive every moment whenever we can !!!!
