About the photographers
We’re Marta May Photography – also known as The Mays (Marta + Artur) – a husband-and-wife wedding photography duo. We’re based in Hereford and photograph weddings across the Cotswolds, the Welsh Borders and the UK.
Our style is DOCU-ART: real documentary moments first, with a small sprinkle of cinematic portraits when the light is gorgeous – always natural, never stiff, never “perform for the camera”. And yes… we still think wedding photography absolutely rocks.
Wedding photography has genuinely changed the way I see life.
When you spend your weekends surrounded by people loving each other loudly (and sometimes quietly), you start noticing what really matters: connection, kindness, family, friendship, and the tiny moments that don’t feel important until they suddenly are.
Ten years ago, I wouldn’t have imagined this as my job – or that I’d feel so grateful doing it. It’s a privilege to be trusted with someone’s memories, and it still doesn’t feel like something I take for granted.
Why wedding photography rocks?
Because it’s not just a job – it’s a front-row seat to humanity. Wedding photography has brought us into a world full of creative, open-minded people. We’ve met couples and suppliers we genuinely adore, and we’ve built friendships that reach far beyond our postcode.
Also: the work keeps us curious. Every wedding is different – different light, different energy, different people – and you’re always learning. That mix of responsibility + creativity is exactly why we still love it so much.
In order to find your own path, you have to focus on what’s inside you. Hear your own voice, whisper it first, then say it and if that doesn’t help – shout! Wedding photography has given us a beautiful world full of creative, open minded and free people. No borders, just bridges and friendships. Oh, and you can photograph weddings anywhere on Earth! What else could we ask for?
Personal post about wedding photography
This is a slightly personal post, so thanks for letting me be sentimental for a moment. If you love what you do, it changes how you show up – not just at work, but in life. It gives you purpose, it keeps you moving forward, and it reminds you (weekly) that people are pretty brilliant.
Last year, wedding photography gave me more than I expected: a sense of direction, a community, and something solid to hold onto when things felt wobbly. So yes – wedding photography rocks. Not because it’s glamorous (it isn’t, most of the time), but because it’s meaningful.
