Kind Words
“I've never been one to love "posing" for pictures and didn't want our wedding to feel like an all-day photo shoot. Enter: Ruthie Martin. Never once did I feel like her cameras interfered with the moments unfolding. Rather, she captured more magic than we could even see. Throughout the day, I felt like Ruthie was a second set of eyes for me, bringing ease and comfort to every hour. That was confirmed when we got our full gallery back. As my husband and I sat together, carefully examining each photo, we relived the day—while seeing some special details for the first time. If our love story was a gallery—it would be this one. I look back on our photos frequently and find a new favorite every time. Ruthie captured emotions as they were felt and moments as they unfolded, resulting in the most effortlessly candid images I've ever seen. Working with Ruthie was one of the greatest decisions we made!”

“We loved how easy it was to work with Ruthie. She was professional, very sweet, and most of all she listened! Ruthie was what I wanted in a photographer and more. She had the right eye to capture our day FLAWLESSLY, without disturbing the naturalness or beauty of everything happening throughout the day. I am so grateful!”

“Working with Ruthie couldn’t have been more perfect! Without even touching on how perfectly she captured our wedding day, just having her there made the day even more special. She quite literally has the sweetest personality that brought such a wonderful and calming vibe to a crazy (and amazing) day! She is so good at what she does, not just with a camera, but also in every other aspect of being a wedding photographer. We loved every bit of working with Ruthie, and I will be begging all of my friends to hire you for when they get married.”
— Hannah & Duncan
“Working with Ruthie was an absolute dream. She captured the small and big moments of our favorite day that we will treasure forever. Ruthie's ability to notice the details while also capturing the raw moments of the day has provided us with photos that are timeless and will be forever cherished. We never felt like taking photos took us away from celebrating with our friends and family and are over the moon with our gallery!”
— Katie & Luis
“I hired Ruthie to photograph my wedding in 2020. Even with the pandemic she came and did her job professionally and safely. We wanted pictures that captured our wedding day perfectly that we would cherish forever and Ruthie’s pictures far exceeded our expectations. Not only did she bring such a positive attitude and atmosphere to the day, but her demeanor and warm personality brought a smile to every person that interacted with her. My husband and I were blown away by the photos we received, and we would 100% recommend Ruthie to anyone!”

“Working with Ruthie was the best decision my husband and I ever made for our wedding! Our pictures were so beautiful yet natural, and so perfectly candid! Ruthie was so kind to our family and guests, kept our interests and ideas in mind, and was just so thoughtful throughout the entire experience. There is no one as amazing as she is!”

“I meticulously planned my wedding day with a wedding planner for an entire year. People always warn you to prepare for something to go wrong on your wedding day, I just always thought it would be smaller things like the cake being wrong or someone had the wrong date and there are no cups. No one could have prepared me for my planner being hospitalized with serious medical concerns the week before. I was deeply saddened for her and scared about what this would mean for the day My wedding day wasn't the calm and worry free day I had hoped, I was unsure of so many things without my planner and the one person (other than my Husband) I could count on was Ruthie. Ruthie knew the schedule and was able to keep everyone on time while I was freaking out. She gave suggestions and solutions when things weren't going how they were planned. I am forever grateful for her experience and calm personality for being someone I could lean on when things were awry. If Ruthie and Craig didn't have cameras in their hands you would have thought they were guests! Our family and friends loved every second they were able to chat with them and, like us, absolutely adored them. When I pictured my wedding day I always knew that I needed someone who didn't have my husband and I pose for photos all night and stand in front of the camera in forced photos. I wanted someone who was able to capture the love and joy in the room without needing direction in a natural and authentic way. After talking with Ruthie for 30 minutes I knew she was that person! Your wedding photos are the only thing you have that allows you to relive your wedding day over and over again and we couldn't be more grateful to Ruthie and Craig for capturing the most beautiful and candid photos. We will forever have so much love for you two, thank you for choosing us to photograph.”

“From our first phone call to the day of our wedding, Ruthie was a calming presence. Her amazing portfolio speaks for itself, but our experience is the reason we're so happy we chose to work with her. Ruthie is flexible, responsive, goes above and beyond expectations, and is just lovely to be around. Ruthie and Craig were always in the right places without standing out, helping them capture natural, genuine moments that we get to remember forever. Thank you, Ruthie :)”
— Valeria & Will
“Having Ruthie photograph our wedding was like having a dear friend with you all day. Her warmth and professionalism were so comforting. She was quick to respond leading up to the wedding and provided our photos back to us in a very timely manner. We were so happy with every aspect of our wedding, and having Ruthie as our photographer was a VERY significant part of this. We are so grateful!”
— Maddie & Tyler
“When it came time to decide on our photographer, Ruthie was the first person who came to mind—and I can't overemphasize how grateful I am that she was the one who captured our big day. From start to finish, Ruthie maintained clear communication, an eagerness to help, and her trademark joy and steadiness. On the day itself, she ran the show like a boss (while still keeping her cool, calm, and collected demeanor) and made everyone feel totally at ease. And our photos... the photos!! I look at them almost every day—I'm obsessed. When you're trying to be present on your wedding day, you want a great second pair of eyes to capture all that you're feeling but don't see, all that you want to remember but can't hold in the moment. Ruthie's got the best pair of eyes I know. We can't recommend her enough.”
