Overview

Live with Natalie Martin: The Art of Storytelling, Finding the Moments Nobody Else Is Looking For & Why Knowing Your Couples Changes Everything

We are joined by the incredibly talented Natalie Martin: Flash Masters Ambassador, master of light, and one of the most inspiring photographers in our community. And if you haven't seen her work yet, prepare to have your mind completely blown.

Natalie is based in the Scottish Borders and shoots around 20 weddings a year, but what makes her truly special is not just her technical brilliance — it's the way she hunts for stories. In this stream she walks us through a stunning collection of images, sharing the story behind each one and why those stories matter just as much as the light.

This stream is a beautiful reminder that the most meaningful images aren't always the ones that win awards. They are the ones that make your couples cry when they see them because you took the time to really know them before the wedding day.

From her lockdown community photography project in Innerleithen, to ceremony lighting that had us all taking notes, to documentary moments that stop you in your tracks this stream will genuinely change the way you think about wedding photography.

We are so grateful to Natalie for sharing so generously. This one is very special. 🎉

 

The top 5 things you will learn by watching this stream:

  1. How to find and capture the stories that matter most to your couples. Natalie shares exactly how she gets to know her couples before the wedding day and how that knowledge transforms what she looks for when she arrives.
  2. How to layer your images and step back from the obvious shot. Natalie talks through her process of asking "what else can I bring into this scene?" A habit that consistently elevates her work from good to extraordinary.
  3. How to use flash beautifully for documentary and ceremony photography. Natalie shares her approach to lighting those in-between, unposed moments not just the portraits.
  4. Why personal projects will make you a better wedding photographer. Natalie talks through her incredible lockdown community project and why pushing yourself creatively outside of weddings pays dividends on the wedding day itself.
  5. Why the images your couples love most might surprise you. Natalie shares a fascinating insight into IPS and client selections and why understanding what resonates with your specific couples is one of the most valuable things you can do.
