About Martin Ormond

I’ve been a Commonwealth Civil Celebrant since 2004 and an avid photographer since taking my first photography course in Sydney back in 2001. Prior to and in-between all of that I’ve worked in the public, not-for-profit and private sectors across Australia and the UK and have lived in Bayside since 2006. I’m now choosing to specialise as a micro-wedding celebrant and small business/community photographer in the Melbourne area. I’m a big cinema fan and got to see how things work behind the scenes as an extra in film and tv in Sydney and Melbourne. I’m curious about the world and love travelling overseas to open myself to new experience, and in all of my endeavours I try to take a warm and professional approach.
