Martin Media - Soldotna, Alaska

Josiah and Tanner were able to help make our special day become a reality. I searched other services, but after watching some of their work, there was NO ONE else I wanted to do the video of our wedding day. And they hit it out of the park! The video and pictures captured were amazing. Thanks so much for making our last minute plans work, AND taking time out of your holiday to help make our dream come true. Look no further for them to help capture your experience. I highly recommend Martin Media to anyone!

Having Martin Media as our elopement photographer was one of the best choices my husband and I made! Josiah really went above and beyond to make our elopement day magical. He worked so well with our kids and got them to smile, laugh, and stuck it out with us through the always changing Alaskan weather to capture the most wonderful moments for us! He was so kind and so helpful throughout the whole process! I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Martin Media captured our wedding in June and did an excellent job. Josiah and Gage were not only great to work with, but the final products of pictures and video were better than we could hope for! They captured all the moments and made the whole experience smooth and easy. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer/videographer!

I’m involved with a company called Cobb Medical, and when we needed help creating a commercial for our project “Compression Ready Communities”, Martin Media was perfect for the job, and far exceeded our expectations. Josiah was very open to collaboration and was extremely enjoyable to work with. I’ve worked with Martin Media twice now, and don’t have a single negative thing to say. Thank you Josiah and the rest of the crew at Martin Media!

Look no further than Martin Media for your photography and videography needs...seriously! Working with Josiah was everything we could have hoped for - he was professional, responsive, and did went above and beyond for our Alaska elopement.

When my husband and I were looking for a photographer and videographer for our elopement, we really didn't know what to expect or where to start as we had no recommendations outside of a google search. Coming from Colorado, we relied solely on browsing the internet and hashtags on Instagram to find someone. We came across Martin Media and reached out, and we knew immediately Josiah was going to be able to capture our unique day. We wanted to do a small hike to our wedding spot and to fly fish on the Kenai for salmon; two of our favorite things we do in Alaska each year. Josiah and his wife Ryan were totally up for our adventures and even surprised us with a white water raft trip, which was such a fun addition to our day! The video Josiah created for us truly captured every moment of our day which was so important to us since family and friends were not there to share it with us. Even two years after our elopement, we still have family and friends who watch our video and rave about it (and we do too!) 🙂

Whether you're looking for a traditional ceremony + reception, small elopement, or Alaskan adventure, Martin Media will capture all of your special moments!

I could not have asked for a better experience with Josiah at Martin Media. From the first time we contacted him, he expressed almost as much excitement as us about our coming helicopter glacier elopement. I appreciated his effort in not only getting the details of our big day, but also getting to know us a little bit so that he can tell our story in a way that’s true to us.

The whole process was very seamless, and he plugged in to the rest of our wedding day logistics with ease. Along with letting him know what we wanted, we gave him the place and time to meet, and from there it was like hanging out with a buddy on our wedding day. This was really important since we eloped and didn’t have family around. He worked very well with our photographer (like a team, not stepping on each other’s toes), and just had fun with us flying around Alaska capturing our story.

As far as the quality of his company’s work, the videos speak for themselves. They’ve brought tears to our family’s eyes over and over as he captured all of the special, candid, and epic moments of our wedding day.

On top of making the experience stress free, he sent over some teaser photos/screenshots just days after our wedding which were perfect for sharing and holding everyone over until the final product. Our final delivery came in a physical package in the mail. I’ll save the spoilers, but it was a nice, tangible touch that neatly tied up the whole videography experience.

I can’t recommend Josiah and Martin Media enough. The customer experience and quality of work are simply unmatched. I wouldn’t think twice about hiring him all over again!

My daughter and her husband ("Alex & Bob | Alaska Elopement" on YouTube) video was done very well!
All who have seen it are very impressed with the quality and the scenery you chose.
Well done!
