Event: Wedding Day - A ceremony and reception, 60 guests
Date: June 11, 2022
Venue: Riverview Restaurant - Troutdale, OR
Experience:

I found Mark through a blog post of his that popped up when I was researching the venue we were planning to book for our June 2022 wedding. We are from out of state and I was shooting in the dark when searching for vendors. I wasn't overly worried about finding a photographer because I know there are so many talented individuals out there. I thought the photos in his blog post were pretty and I thought it was a perk that he had experience shooting at our venue. So we booked him. I expected an assortment of nice photos from our crazy but amazing day to share with family and friends.

What we received was so much more than that.

I've looked through our favorites a few times now and it gives me butterflies and brings tears to my eyes to see the emotions of the day that Mark was able to capture in stills for us to cherish forever. As I added them to an album to share, I relived our day and so many moments we never would've been able to take in on our own. All of the little details, the smiles from friends, the happy tears from family. Mark gave us the ability to feel all the love from this day over and over again. I truly can't put into words how priceless these photos are to us.

Mark was easy to communicate with, he understood that we needed direction in front of the camera, and he knew what he was doing with all of the different weather obstacles that were thrown our way...and he definitely knew how to use them to our advantage to get some really cool artistic shots!

Another note worth mentioning - the brilliant colors - his style is not too moody nor light and airy. Just perfect! I wish I could share all of the photos but I'll just share a few favorites.

I would highly recommend Mark Federighi Photography!

My fiancé and I got engaged while we were on a 10-day PNW trip and decided, spur of the moment, to get engagement photos taken in Portland to commemorate the event. We had a mere 3 days to get this done and luckily the stars aligned and we were able to book Mark! Not only did he go above and beyond in taking some truly one-of-a-kind and gorgeous photos of us, but he was SO patient with some last minute changes we had. He was also very easygoing and put us at ease, before, during, and after the shoot. Thanks for the beautiful memories, Mark!!

My wife and I couldn't be happier with our overall experience having Mark as our wedding photographer. Not only are the photos beautiful, but Mark was really a perfect fit for us. We really wanted someone who was going to capture candid moments from our day. It was amazing to look through our photo gallery and have so many real moments captured; both between my wife and I, but also of our family and friends. Wedding days can he pretty hectic, so it was really nice to be able to look though our photos and see so many moments that we would have otherwise missed if it wasn't for Mark's photos. We also wanted our small wedding (60 people) to feel close and intimate. Mark managed to blend into scenes seamlessly without any interruption. I really can't recommend Mark enough.
