ABOUT

Meet the Owner

It's all about Love and Adventure!

Hey! My name is Heather Martello, I am a wedding and elopement photographer with a portrait studio based in Ashtabula, Ohio on our Historic Bridge Street!

I am the owner and head shooter of Martello Photography & Design. I specialize in wedding photography but I also enjoy photographing seniors, families, boudoir and baby portraits. I am also a content creator for various businesses.

I have been a photographer for over 30 years and started in film days, I feel lucky to have been a part of that era. I love the darkroom but I love Photoshop & Lightroom even more!

I also work with a handful of professional main and second shooters, so just know there will be no one learning or shadowing. All professionals here!

The Experience

I want your photos to reflect the true you. I want you to recognize yourselves when you look back on these beauties a decade from now.

If you are a quieter more mellow couple, be that and do not feel pressured to be anything else. If you're the couple who laughs all the time, then laugh away. Every couple is unique and it's my job to make pretty pictures of you two being you.

To my boudoir, headshots and senior clients, please do not feel nervous or awkward in front of camera. I have a friendly personality that will put you at ease, paired with a warm & cozy studio. I will also guide you every step of the way from posing through the ordering making everything very easy. I have an natural style of portraiture and strive to make every session as relaxed & fun.

As you can see my lifelong passion has always been photography and now it's my profession. I make my living recording the world around me in unique and eye-catching ways, offering clients one-of-a-kind portraiture and unique products.

What Clients Are Saying

Working with Heather was a dream come true. Our wedding was captured exactly as we had hoped. She made the process fun- no stress, and was professional, yet sympathetic to all of the needs of a demanding bride throughout. I will recommend her to everyone, and she is the person that we call upon, both in our business and our family, for all of our photography needs. We gained a friend in the process.
