Martinus Photography was established in 2005 by Ferdy Martinus and his family. Ferdy's photography background goes back almost 20 years to when he was still in high school. Since then, he attended several photography formal courses and started his own photo studio.
Martinus Photography was also one of the first photographers in the La Crosse, WI area who specialized in Cinematography Wedding Videography, something that we know will change traditional photography. Ferdy has shot about 200 weddings in his photography career, is a long time member of the WPJA (Wedding Photojournalist Association), AG-WPJA (Artistic Guild WPJA), and WPA (Wedding Photographer Association).
Hi, I'm Ferdy Martinus
Our mission is to capture your unforgettable moments, and all of the special stories in between. We work hard to make our clients feel comfortable and to be themselves in front of the camera, because that's when the best photographs are taken. The camera is our paint brush, giving us the opportunity to paint images that are all about you, your partner, and your wedding day.
Our style combines technical proficiency, patience, intuition, and unique artistic sensibilities. We specialize in FASHION and PHOTOJOURNALISTIC WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY, which is a mix of strong artistic elements in showcasing your wedding, combined with a natural feeling to capture each moment as they unfold throughout the day. By doing this we can add our own touch of creativity, imagination, and originality.
We also love photographing seniors, infants, families, and children. Our portraiture and glamour work is as diverse as the personalities of the people we photograph.
