We used Mark for our wedding in April/engagement photos in October and he was fantastic!

As we were having two wedding ceremonies (Indian and Western) Mark's knowledge of different cultural practices was super important. He was able to come to the Indian Temple and knew exactly where to set up and which photos were going to be beautiful. Similarly, he knew exactly where to shoot at our western wedding to get the best shots. He knows the venues in the DC area and has positive relationships with many of the planners, which also makes working with him easy and enjoyable. We have so many gorgeous pictures from that day, each unique and each special.

Additionally, our guests raved about how personable Mark was and how he and his team effortlessly took photos without being obvious. As a result, we have some great shots and were able to dance the night away.

Mark has shot my wedding, my siblings wedding, and my family recommends him to everyone we know. He is open to ideas for shots/amenable to changes/always learning about the industry trends and I can't speak highly enough about his services. Thank you to Mark and his team!

Life Reflecting Images went above and beyond to deliver an incredible wedding album. Mark and his team were attentive, easy going, yet dedicated to delivering an outstanding product despite a rainy Saturday in Loudoun County. 

The day began with Mark taking pictures of the bride and bridesmaid getting ready. He went around our house taking detail pictures, and capturing special moments. He thought of things to take pictures of that we would have never guessed. Mark did a wonderful job capturing the joy and excitement of the morning and nailed the Bride’s dress reveal to the bridesmaids and the father of the bride. The pictures were plentiful and really, really good! Meanwhile, the second photographer was hard at work getting set up at the church for the ceremony. Easily putting the groom and the groomsmen at ease the second photographer captures some really cool details of the church, the groom, and the groom's parents. Despite the rain, he was able to work quite the magic with lighting to get some great shots prior to the ceremony. 

During the ceremony, the photographers were hardly noticed skillfully making their rounds throughout the church getting details and different angles as well as very special parts of the mass and ceremony. We are very thankful that care was taken during this special part of our day. There were special images that we were hoping that Mark would take and he and his team delivered such as the choir, musicians, the celebrant, readers, and of course friends and family throughout the pews. The photography team was very respectful during the Catholic Mass and our celebrant remarked that this was the best photography team he has ever seen!

Post ceremony was time for the family pictures which unfortunately, went long and did not capture all of the groupings on the groom's side due to time constraints. This was not really Mark’s fault at all but we recommend reducing the number of groupings so that both sides can have equal opportunities for pictures and no “special requests” to subtract time allotted to the other side for portraits. 

Next up was the couple portraits along with the wedding party at the venue. It was raining pretty steadily at this point, but Mark and his team delivered yet again! All the pictures were outstanding and we are so happy how they all turned out. They truly made us look so good and we are so pleased with our portrait shots. After this Mark and his team captured some fun moments at the cocktail hour before proceeding to the reception barn. The pictures continue to be numerous and of really high quality. We can tell much time and effort was put in post wedding to make sure they all looked great and edited nicely. Thank you Life Reflecting Images!

We are grateful for Mark and his team for being one of our best vendors on our wedding day that was not without challenges! We 100% recommend Life Reflecting Images for your wedding photography team. Mark was such a great vendor to work with and his true enthusiasm was evident during the wedding day. He was even kind enough to stay for much longer than he was supposed to in order to capture some amazing shots of the party and our private last dance. Thank you Mark!
