Hereford wedding photographers
We are a photographic duo, a husband and wife team. Our photography style is relaxed and natural. We just love capturing real moments. Our photography takes us to various wedding venues, big and small and we love them all. Every Green Man wedding Hereford we have photographed has been fantastic.
We’re Marta May Photography – also known as The Mays (Marta + Artur). We’re TWIA National Winners (2023) and now TWIA judges, and we photograph weddings in a DOCU-ART style: real documentary moments first, with relaxed cinematic portraits.

Real wedding at Green Man, Fownhope
Our couple got married in the Green Man, a quirky and original wedding venue. It was a relaxed and happy day with the beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony. Joy and laughter started in the morning and never stopped. If you are planning your wedding at the moment and reading this post, try to remember this… your wedding day is about you two, about celebrating your love so your only job on the day is to be happy.
Just look at that wedding cake!
Just before cutting the cake many couples often ask us ‘how do we do it?’ Well… the best thing is to go with the flow and have fun with it. That wedding cake was one of the most gorgeous cakes I have ever seen.
Bride’s dress
Our bride’s dress was beautiful and so clever because it had two different looks. The first one used for the entrance, the ceremony and the photos, was the version with the long train. The evening reception saw a different look – the dress without the train, just a simple and beautiful shape. I am in love with this clever, stunning, impressive and very practical idea.
Green Man wedding Hereford – kind words
This is what our couple told the 2017 TWIA Judges about our work:
“Marta and Artur were nothing less than outstanding on our wedding day. Nothing was too much trouble. We had so much fun on our day and left decisions in Marta’s capable hands of where the best place to have pictures. She certainly didn’t disappoint. I would recommend Marta to anyone I know, her and her husband are warm and fun. Our photos were fantastic and really captured the special day we had. Marta definitely deserves this, you only need to look at her work to realise that!”
And this was their answer to a question why they booked us:
“Warm, friendly and fun. Her photos are outstanding and a great deal of time and effort goes into what she does.”
