"It was a delight to have Armor and Martel photograph our wedding. They were fun and professional. Our
wedding pictures look like they are either out of a magazine or an art gallery. They really took my breath away."
"Armor and Martel Photography comes with my highest recommendation. Pam and Chris shot our wedding
and they proved that they are highly skilled artists. Not only did they take amazingly beautiful photos, but they
also helped the entire wedding to run smoothly! Everyone at the studio is extremely professional, organized,
and kind. I have honestly never encountered better photographers. My husband Brian and I live in New York,
but hope to bring our son to Rhode Island so that Pam or Chris can shoot his baby photos. If anyone is looking
for a photographer, they should go directly to Armor and Martel Photography."

"Armor and Martel is wonderful!! Chris and Pam were the photographers at our wedding at OceanCliff Hotel
in Newport, RI. Despite the monsoon outside, Pam and Chris provided us with beautiful pictures that really
captured every moment of our special day. They were a pleasure to get to know and very easy to work with.
You would not even know that they were there, but they catch every great moment with their cameras.
We are truly grateful for their work and professionalism on our wedding day and would highly recommend
them to anyone!"
"I cant begin to express how pleased we are with the quality of photographs from Armor & Martel. We had
a wedding party of 10 bridesmaids and 10 groomsmen but Chris Martel didn't miss anything. The setting he
chose for pictures were fantastic and look like they just came out of a magazine. He was an absolute doll to
work with and we couldn't be happier. Considering the cost of weddings....this by far was one of our best
choices and was worth every penny".....Marian L.

Chris and his photography company were amazing. They took unbelievable pictures that we look through every day. In fact, we are planning an album and there are so many amazing photos that it has taken us literally weeks to try to whittle down the numbers of selected photos to the 125 for the album.
They made our wedding look fantastic. I cannot say enough about Armor and Martel, I would highly suggest them to any person looking for dedicated professional and talented photographers for their wedding. The quality of their output is second to none.
Also, they worked around our schedule, and were punctual and well equipped for the job.
Did I mention the photos are amazing!

Armor & Martel and Chris Martel specifically were such a pleasure to work with- from our first meeting a year before our wedding, right up until we received our proofs. Not only does he take great photos, but Chris is a genuinely nice guy. I would recommend Armor & Martel's services to anyone looking for great photos, a good value, and excellent service.

Armor and Martel Photography shot my wedding like it was on the cover of a magazine. The shots are creative and memorable. Everyone who sees my pictures comments on how fantastic they look. Armor and Martel did an amazing job and I would recommend them to anyone.

I love a pictures. Old and new, funny and dramatic, but always of people. Expression is the greatest storyteller, and I believe the mantra of a a picture's value. I've been a journalist, a portrait photographer, and love the energy and many visual threads that combine to create every wedding. For more than 20 years, we've been a favorite of clients that love our images of life, love, laughter and joy.
Let's meet and discuss your plans. Wedding itineraries may bear similarities, but your images should be as authentic and different as you are from every other person.
You can view my work in RI Wedding Guide, Newport Life, Coastal Weddings, Life Magazine, as well as clients featured nationally in Rolling Stone and everywhere fun, real, unpretentious, spontaneous imagery is found. Come visit, call, or email. I am looking forward to meeting you.
