Mark Bennington has just begun to venture into the world of wedding photography and if you can get him, do so.

His style is more photojournalistic (which is why I chose him) and he worked with me not only for the weddng (including preparing for it with my bridesmaids), but also our July 4th Get-to-Know-Each-Other party for our out of town guests and those people we couldn't invite to the wedding.

He took hundreds of photos - so many that I'm having a hard time choosing which ones to use in my wedding book. My guests loved him, he made me feel beautiful (and look good too) and he was respectful of our guests, getting great photos without being obtrusive.

Check out his website for more than just wedding photography but I would recommend him to anyone looking for a more adventuresome, less stuffy, type of wedding photography. He will be adding his wedding picture portfolio soon but you can see how great he is at capturing the essence of his subjects.
