On time captured every moment did not miss anything! Professional I absolutely love his work, I would recommend Marcus to everyone!!!

Marcus communicated very well. He is very experienced and provided great advice and feedback. He provided sneak peek photos that were amazing! I will be hiring him again for future events.

Hopefully this review helps someone make an informed decision before booking his services. I'll run through the major issues below:

I asked Marcus to take photos of me/bridesmaids getting ready and popping the champagne bottle. He said yes and then WALKED OUT OF THE ROOM and didn't come back for over 30 mins. I told him we were off schedule & he insisted that we had plenty of time. He had the schedule for the day wrong even though we confirmed it with him several times. He then asked, "Do yall know where you want to take the photos?" even though he'd assured us that he researched our venue beforehand. He left to go find my fiance and set up for First Look. He tells me they're ready, but when I get downstairs only Marcus is there. I asked where my fiance was, he said "I don't know. Let me go find him" and HE LEFT ME IN THE FOYER OF OUR VENUE, FULLY DRESSED IN MY WEDDING DRESS where anyone could have seen me. He had no clue where my fiance was even though he told me they were ready to start the shoot! The venue staff hid me in the kitchen until Marcus got everything together. I walk out to see my fiance for the first time expecting Marcus to capture the moment, only to see the camera was not even focused on him. WE HAVE NO PHOTOS OF MY HUSBAND'S FACE AS HE SAW ME FOR THE FIRST TIME. It was very clear that he did not understand the purpose of a first look shoot and maybe had never done one?

WE HAVE NO PHOTOS OF US WITH OUR FAMILIES. When we booked Marcus, we filled out a survey listing the group photos we wanted including people's names so that he could corral everyone, but after the ceremony Marcus made no effort to take group photos. I asked him if he was going to use our list from the survey and he said, "What list?" HE FORGOT ABOUT THE LIST. HE DIDNT HAVE IT WITH HIM. HE NEVER EVEN READ IT. He wasted several more minutes scrolling through his phone trying to find the survey that he didn't even remember existed.....long story short, we did not get our family photos. He had no regard for time and kept insisting that I shouldn't be upset because "there's plenty of sunlight left" -- he had absolutely no understanding that weddings run on a schedule and the timetable couldn't be delayed just because he wasn't prepared.

Following our first dance, we sat down in front of all our guests for our first meal. Marcus walks up to our sweetheart table, pulls out his cell phone and says "Let me get a selfie with y'all." He interrupted our first dinner in front of all our friends and family so he could post a selfie with us on his personal Instagram to advertise his wedding services! There was a long stretch during the reception where he disappeared and was later seen having his assistants take photos of him, presumably to use on his IG.

There was absolutely no creative direction from him throughout our entire wedding. He was constantly asking "Where do you want to stand?" and "How do you want to pose?" I ended up leading several of the photos, telling him where to stand, where to place us, and how to angle the camera. At one point he even joked, "Maybe I should just give this to you."

We waited OVER 2 MONTHS after our wedding and had absolutely no communication from him. I finally contacted him to ask about our wedding photos. He said "Oh yeah, I'm gonna get them to y'all this week. As I'm sure you've seen, I've been very busy lately." All said, this is not an experience I would recommend. I hope he takes better care of his future clients.
