SJ Martinez Photography

Steve was very communicative and very prompt. I decided to propose to my gf (now fiancé) at a waterfront in January. It was snowing the day before Steve was on top of his game asking if there might be a plan B location etc. He took the most beautiful pictures of the moment. Captured the most important moment in my life up to date. I couldn’t be more happier with the results.

Excellent experience!

Steve was great to work with and was very professional. He was very flexible with timing and arrived early to set up. I would recommend him to others and would book him again in the future.

Steve was a professional from the start. Extremely courteous and the pictures were amazing. I would recommend his services in a heartbeat.

He was very patient because I arrived a little late due to hair and makeup. It began raining towards the end but we still received amazing shots! Thank you

I hired Steve for a corporate event for one of my clients. He was very professional, easy to work with, and the photos he sent after the event were great. I was very happy with my choice. I will definitely be using him again for my next event. Thank you Steve!

Steve was incredible to work with! I had a surprise engagement that he photographed and we were in full communication from days in advance up until the moment of the proposal. Apart from being incredibly kind and professional, the photos are incredible. I would 100% recommend him to anybody looking to get photos done and I am sure I will use him again!

Steve made my proposal really special. He arrived early to help me choose the perfect position with the best lighting. He really took amazing pictures that made my proposal that much more special. Everything worked out better than expected and Steve went above and beyond to make that happen! I would recommend him for any event.

What a phenomenal experience! He traveled all around Brooklyn for us and got us the best shots! Thank you!

Steve Martinez was just great all around. Easy to work with setting up our photo shoot, and fast with turning them around. He showed up on time, well prepared, and made everyone comfortable! Can't say more positive things about his work! Would 100% use him again.

Hired Steve to shoot our son’s first birthday party. He was very professional, arrived before the even started, was fully set up and ready to go when guests arrived. He is excellent candid photographer, took a lot of candies of the kids and they came out great.

Steve arrived early and paid an incredible amount of attention to detail. He was thoughtful and very professional.

I found SJ Photography when browsing for a photographer for my daughter's 10th birthday party. Steve was willing and able to accommodate the time and date at even at a short notice. Showed up earlier than the booked time, was friendly and very patient with everyone. Thank you so much Steve, we are so happy with all the amazing photographs you took! I look forward to working with you again at our next event!!!

Steve was fantastic. He not only photographed my proposal but he also coached me up to make the experience even better. He also worked through non-ideal conditions as rain was starting and stopping throughout the day. I would highly recommend SJ Martinez Photography for any event in NYC.

I thought a great mix of candid moments and group photos were taken. I would use him again in a heartbeat!

It was such a pleasure working with Steve. The project I had wasn't an easy one, but Steve did what he could and the result was beautiful. All of the pictures came out amazing, and I got them the day after the event ! I'll be working with him again in the future for sure.

Steve was fantastic to work with. I hired him to take pictures at my son's first birthday party. there were screaming children, running all over the place, crying babies and tons of adults. He was easy going, unobtrusive, and great capturing all of the most important moments. The pictures are great. I couldn't be happier with the images. Thank you so much. I hope that I can hire you in the future for some family photos.

Steve did a terrific job for my sons first birthday. I highly recommend him and he will be our first choice for photography for all our occasion for now on!!! Thanks again Steve

Steve was a pleasure to work with, and he produced great photos from our event. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure to capture all of the shots we had discussed ahead of the event. Photos were provided almost immediately after the party and it was a great selection. I can't thank him enough for helping to capture a memorable evening my entire family will never forget!

Steve,

We are overjoyed we had you to capture our little Ava's first birthday. We are so happy and excited, the pictures are even better than I expected. You captured every detail we put into the party, the ambiance, all our friends and family, and you got precious moments of our little girl and were able to let her shine through the camera. I highly recommend you--your skillmanship and artistic ability is second to none. Thank you for working with us! We will definitely use you again.

Steve arrived to the venue on time and dressed for the occasion. He was extremely professional and did a great job with capturing the night in ways that I requested. I recommend SJ Martinez for anyone looking for all of the above!

I had the opportunity to book Steve for a photo shoot in Midtown. Steve is a nice a friendly professional; he seeks for the best opportunities to create a flawless session. During the shoot Steve adheres strongly to his task but he's open for suggestions too. He added great ideas too and delivered more than he promised on first hand, which I appreciate a lot.
As a result I have a series of beautiful pics. Thanks!

Steve got there early, was very sensitive to our needs and wishes, and produced magnificent pictures that will help us remember our event always. We cannot be happier with the job he did! We emphatically recommend his services to anyone who needs a quality photographer.

My husband and I were blessed to book SJ Martinez for our baby shower this past weekend. Martinez was super professional, connected with us prior to the event to understand our event and needs, was flexible enough to stay back longer on our last minute request and did a fantastic job on the pictures.

We look forward to working with him again in our future events and highly recommend him for your events too.

The photographer portraits evoke the raw intimate feeling, and gives a sense of the subject humility and strength.

Thank you for encapsulating treasured moments in time. Forever grateful!
