1. Tell us a little about yourselves... We are Sara + Jason Martin, a husband and wife team who travels the world in search of amazing weddings and awesome clientele! We are in love with photography, our dogs, and each other. We have been married for 4 years and shooting together for 5. We are blessed and truly couldn’t be happier.
2. How far have you gone from Florida to shoot a wedding? Germany, Jamaica, Aruba, Grand Cayman, Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Ohio, New Jersey, and West Virginia, so far
3. How would you describe your style? Creative photojournalism.
4. Which category of a wedding professional vendor do you wish every bride would hire other than a photographer? A wedding planner!
5. How many weddings do you average per year? This year was 47, but we are hoping for more like 30 next year.
6. What type of camera do you use? Canon 5D Mark II and Mark II N
7. What has been your most memorable wedding and why? Early on in our career, we had the honor of photographing a wedding at a castle in Germany. We had a room in the castle (Schloss Neuberg). We dressed in lederhosen and dirndls for the Bavarian themed rehearsal dinner. We captured the most beautiful images of an amazingly gorgeous couple in a breath-taking location – a photographers dream.
8. How many images do you average per wedding? Anywhere between 600 – 1500, depending on the length of time we shoot and the dancing skills of the guests!
9. Where would your dream destination wedding be? Santorini, Greece.
10. What was your favorite image shot recently? We did a “Trash the Dress” shoot with one of our amazing couples, Charlene + Denis, in a freezing fresh-water spring. Jason got in the water with a waterproof case on our little Canon G12 and shot the couple swimming towards each other – it turned out AMAZING!
11. What do you feel is the most challenging thing about photographing weddings? You only get one chance to get “that shot” – but that pressure and excitement is also one of the best things about photographing weddings.
12. Who or what inspires you? Each other ;) Also, we are constantly searching blogs and websites from all over the world for photographers and images that are new and different.
13. How important is an awesome website to your business? Vital. If a perspective client doesn’t like what they see on our website, they will not be contacting us. Our new website is very “us”; if it appeals to you, we will too!
