Martinez Media, LLC

Ludington, Michigan 2011–2023

The story

Hi, I’m Brandon. My wife Joy and I ran Martinez Media out of Ludington, Michigan. I’d been doing freelance web and design work since 2002, as a teenager; by 2011 the volume justified making it real, so we formalized it as an LLC that February.

For twelve years it was primarily photography — weddings, families, and high-school seniors around West Michigan — alongside web design, branding, and social-media consulting for local businesses.

We wound the LLC down in January 2023. The photography never really stopped; what ended was the business entity, not the practice.

Where the work lives now

The photography still goes up in the same two places it always has.

Status & availability

Martinez Media is mostly idle these days.

I still shoot for families I know, and I still take on the occasional project when it’s the right fit. We once helped small businesses find their footing online — web, social, and design — and some of that work still comes up.

If you have something in mind, get in touch — worst case I’ll tell you no.
