I am Amalia Martin, the one behind the lens, making your moments fun, vivid and timeless

I'm Amalia Martin, a Columbus, Ohio photographer documenting weddings and family life with an eye for genuine connection, meaningful details, and the moments that make your story yours.

My approach blends documentary-style storytelling with timeless portraits. I want your wedding day to feel like your wedding day—not a photoshoot—and family sessions to feel relaxed, playful, and true to the people you are. From the big celebrations to the everyday in-between moments, I create photographs that bring you back to how it all felt.

Based in Columbus and serving couples and families throughout Central Ohio, with travel available.

PORTFOLIO

Bride in a long veil and groom in a gray suit embrace in a pink cosmos flower field near a white fence and rustic wooden barn.

In the photography world candid and posed photography are often pinned against each other. I don't think that should be the case. I offer a mix of documentary and traditional photography. My focus is on letting you have fun and capturing the true joy of the day; and yes- that can include some time taking couples portraits without losing the pictures capturing the vibe of the day.

PORTFOLIO

A young girl in a floral dress and a toddler boy in a mustard sweater share a warm, smiling hug against a white backdrop.

This moment in your life is changing fast! I want to capture your family for who you are. The fun, the silly, sometimes... the melt downs!

Before you know it it's over. So stop putting off the family photo shoot! We'll have fun, we'll laugh, and you definitely should bring a sweet treat to bribe your kids with.

PORTFOLIO

Being pregnant feels like an eternity, then it's gone in a flash. The nights staying up with your new born feel like they are going to last forever... and then, all of a sudden they are starting school. While my maternity and new born photography is anything but traditional, I strive to help you capture the memory of your beauty while you grow a baby and all the little wrinkles and baby toes that grow up too fast.
