MARTY

CLIENT EXPERIENCE
CONSULTATION-BOOKING-PLANNING

Marty is the awesome person you’re chatting with behind the scenes. She’s the heart of the business, handling everything from your first inquiry to delivering your final wedding gallery. She’s on top of emails, sending contracts, scheduling sessions, and making sure your experience is smooth and enjoyable. Without her, this whole journey wouldn’t be possible!

more about marty through alvyn’s eyes

* First and foremost, she’s a woman of God—grounded, faithful, and full of grace. Second, she’s my incredible wife. And third? She’s the superhero mom to our five little whirlwinds (ages 1 to 8—and baby #6 arriving August 2025!). Her strength, courage, and birth pain tolerance are truly legendary. 

* Marty has the patience of a saint, a heart big enough to hold everyone’s needs, and a quiet determination that could quite literally move mountains. And the best part? She loves to love on me, a quality that I absolutely adore! 

* With over a decade of experience as a Physician Assistant, she’s sharp, steady, and endlessly compassionate. She just knows how to read people, see their vision, and find the most thoughtful solution—every single time. This plays a very important role that we give to each and every client. 

* Behind every wild idea I’ve chased, there’s Marty—cheering, steering, and sometimes gently raising an eyebrow. But she’s always in my corner, and I wouldn’t dream big without her. 

* Our home runs on belly laughs, her way of incorporating fruits and veggies into everything, and a magical touch—think BPA-free bottles, chemical-free everything, and vibes set to intentional living mode. 

* She’s my yin to my yang, the calm in my chaos, the steady to my storm. She’s not just my partner—she’s the piece that makes me whole. 

* And yes—she’s also a proud croissant connoisseur and affogato aficionado. Because life’s too short not to enjoy the good things. 

Love you always, Alvyn​

ALVYN

PHOTOGRAPHER – STORYTELLER

Alvyn is a pro at helping clients capture the most genuine and stunning images on their wedding day. With a degree in photographic technology, he’s got a ton of technical know-how with camera gear, lighting, and natural light, which he uses to create beautiful, timeless photos. On your big day, he blends right in to snap those candid moments you might miss but will cherish when you look back at your photos. He’s always on the move, capturing every detail that showcases your unique style, which you’ve spent months planning for. For bride, groom, and wedding party shots, he’ll make sure you have a blast coming up with creative poses that highlight your relationships. He’ll guide you with posing, adjust your flowers, and fix any stray hairs. After the family photos, he’ll step back to capture things from a distance, always ready to help if you have a specific shot in mind. During engagement sessions, he’ll work with you on posing to find your best angles and understand how you naturally interact. He’ll start with some smiling shots and then move on to more relaxed moments like walking hand in hand. The goal is to enjoy each other and the exciting time of being engaged, pretending you’re not being photographed. When editing your photos, he starts with a classic, timeless film look that will still look amazing when you show them to your future kids and grandkids. Your photos will have a consistent, natural, vibrant, and clean look, beautifully telling the story of your wedding day from start to finish.

more about alvyn through marty’s eyes

* He speaks love in quiet ways—through acts of service, in the things he does without asking, always with care. 

* As a father, he’s the kind that makes childhood magical—fun, protective, endlessly tender. 

* Photography isn’t just his passion—it’s his way of holding on to what matters most. He freezes time so we can keep reliving the beautiful. 

* He’s always chasing excellence—it’s his superpower, especially with over 10 years behind the lens. But sometimes, that drive runs deep. So I gently remind him: it’s okay to pause, breathe, and just be here, too. 

* What most don’t know? He’s got rhythm for days. The way he danced for me on our wedding day… let’s just say, I’m still swooning. 

* He shares that joy—music and movement—with our kids, and seeing it passed down? It’s the kind of thing that sticks in your soul forever. 

* Thoughtful to the core. Always ready. Solving things lights him up—it’s how he loves out loud. 

* He’s my balance in the chaos. My calm in the dailies. My favorite dimples. My other, essential half. 

* He was my first boyfriend—now he’s my forever. From shy smiles to shared dreams, what a beautiful ride it’s been. There’s something extra special about growing through every season with the one who had your heart from the start. 

* And let’s be honest—he’s also the best cook in the house. No contest. And the master vacuumer. 

* Favorite Wiggles song? The one with the popcorn—naturally. 

I thank God for him everyday. 

Love you always, Marty​
