A true professional.

Throughout our entire planning process, Mark was a helping hand and an excellent guide in terms of bringing our vision to life. We were looking for someone that would not only lend us their expertise in photography but also someone that would listen to our ideas and find ways to execute them, no matter how absurd.

During our engagement photos, Mark managed to capture a jam-packed beach at peak sunset and frame it as if we were the only two people there. At first, we were both apprehensive when we saw the number of people that would undoubtedly be staring at us during our photo session, but almost immediately Mark made us both feel comfortable and even excited that we’d be the stars of everyone’s beach day. We were splashing in the ocean, rolling around in the sand, and overall having a blast while Mark captured our candid selves with a smile on his face. (Our engagement photos are incredible).

Then came the big day…you know, the wedding? We spoke with Mark beforehand and emphasized the importance of us being present at the event and wanting to be able to share the experience with our family and friends vs having our wedding being a big photo session. Mark and his team of professionals could not have possibly done a better job at listening to us, and truly shaping their photography around what we were looking for. Our wedding photos are filled with smiles, dancing, cheering, and tears of joy.

They were kind, patient, attentive, and all around a joy to be around and have at the wedding. Mark is the real deal.

Engagement and Wedding Photos

We hired Unveiled Photography to do both our engagement photoshoot and wedding photos and we were absolutely blown away by the results. Mark is fantastic at directing the parties in the photos, he had lots of angles and concepts that turned out spectacular, and all of the poses and directions felt very natural. Me and my partner are both very photo shy and Mark was great at helping us to be comfortable and get photos that we love. We wanted candid photos particularly and the team did an excellent job delivering photos of us, our guests, and even our dog in natural, happy, and genuine moments. They also did a great job working together with our florist, venue coordinator, DJ, and videographer to get the best possible results and ensure everything went smoothly. The photos were received in great time and we truly couldn’t be happier.

Creative and Professional!

Mark was an absolutely sensational choice for our wedding photographer.

He consistently went above and beyond in every aspect: communication, guidance, professionalism, organization, open-mindedness, precision, and quality. His creative eye and unmatched attention to detail truly set him apart.

Mark’s passion for his craft shines through in every moment—he doesn’t just capture beautiful images, he helps create them. From sharing valuable tips to make the day run smoothly, to going out of his way to ensure every shot is perfect, Mark is not only an exceptional photographer but also a wonderful human being and a genuine joy to work with.

If you haven’t already reserved your date with him, don’t wait—his calendar fills fast (and for good reason)!

Outstanding Quality and Detail Oriented

Mark at Unveiled Wedding Photography has blown our expectations out of the water thus far! We recently received our engagement photos (pleasantly surprised, before we were expecting them!) and our jaws are still on the floor. From the initial phone call while looking for our wedding photographer, I could immediately get a sense of Mark's professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail. We are extremely pleased with his timeline and our looking forward to our wedding day, with much more confidence of everything running smoothly. He and his wife Stacy (who does the final edits as we understand) have a true eye for not only the technical details, but also for bringing out the best in our portraits when it came to our posing and candid moments, and the surrounding environments. We did our engagement shoot at Balboa, where we were able to get a plethora of locations with some amazing shots, and Mark even stayed late for us, as the clouds came in during sunset - he waited until the surrounding lighting and towers lit up to give us some spectacular shots after sundown. We understand the importance of a good wedding photographer (as we will be looking at these photos for a lifetime), and after countless hours of initial research, Mark and Stacy have made us feel that this was by far the best and easiest decision we've made in our wedding planning process. We could not be more excited for our wedding day in November!

Above and Beyond

As a wedding planner for the last 10 years, I have worked with many, many photographers. Mark is by far the most detailed, prepared for any situation, and will always go above and beyond for his clients. His artistic view of the world brings out the best in couples -- which really shows in their beautiful photos. I love working with Mark, his energy is so fun, and he's such a patient person (which you definitely need in this industry)!

Great Experience!

The Unveiled Wedding Photography Team is phenomenal! We had a destination wedding that was small and intimate in San Diego. Mark and his team went above and beyond and captured every moment beautifully. It was nice to be able to work with truly caring individuals who are passionate about their business. I would strongly recommend using Unveiled Wedding Photography as your choice for wedding photographers.

Top Notch Professional with a Personal Touch

Mark and his team shot my wedding last in October and oh my goodness, he was amazing from the first moment until the last. He arrived at the venue hours before the wedding was set to start just to scout out the best place for pictures. He texted me just to keep me in the loop, which made me feel so confident in what was to come. Mark is kind, professional, an expert at his craft, and puts off great energy. I felt comfortable and confident in his hands. Photographs might be the most important part of any wedding, and Mark has already given me the feeling that mine are going to be outstanding! If you want a creative, professional, focused photographer for your wedding, who you will let take the reigns to do his job and do it great, call Mark and hire Unveiled Wedding Photography.

Amazing - Highly Recommend

Mark was absolutely wonderful to work with. He shot not one, but both of our wedding ceremonies after we had to postpone due to COVID. Mark was amazing and stuck with us and even allowed us to pick a preferential date on our second postponement.

We would happily recommend Unveiled to anyone who asked!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
