Short version: BOOK MARK.

Long version: I don't know if I can explain just how much myself, my husband, and every single guest at our wedding loved Mark and his work. When we got engaged a photographer was high on our list and a vendor we worried about the most. We are both a little camera shy and we really value the importance of capturing that day. It’s something so precious and to put it in the hands of someone else’s talent and creativity can be nerve wracking.
We found Mark through a friend whose photos we loved. The candid shots were incredible, and the photos were light and not an ounce over edited. From first communicating with Mark, doing the engagement shoot, through the wedding, and even after receiving our photos it was effortless and felt like we were working with a friend. A very professional friend.
When we got our photos I was OVER THE MOON, I tell ya. They’re an absolute work of art and he completely exceeded my expectations which were already high. My sister booked him immediately after seeing our sneak peaks… 20 or so photos, that’s all it took.
I really cannot explain how awesome it was that Mark felt more like a guest at our wedding than a vendor. It may not seem like an important thing but we will always remember the genuinely sweet and cool dude that took our amazing photos and that’s really special to us.
So, if you’re still reading this lengthy review, stop searching and book Mark! Best decision you’ll make when planning your wedding.

Ridiculously pleased!

Mark was wonderful from the moment we reached out to him to our wedding! He was flexible and so helpful for our engagement shoot. We ended up having a small, outdoor wedding with just our families because of COVID and Mark wore a mask and braved the heat - we were so thankful and impressed! The photos are beautiful and he made us so comfortable. Highly recommend!

Accommodating & passionate

Mark was so accommodating and easy to communicate with. I loved the fact that he will go out of his way to make sure he captures every moment of your special day. Mark was the first one to arrive at the venue on our wedding day (even before us bride and groom) and one of the last to leave. I loved his passion and energy and really enjoyed working with him!

Above and beyond all expectations!! BOOK HIM!!

Mark was a fabulous photographer! As a bride, he made me feel so comfortable during my bridal photos. They were beyond perfect. He went to multiple locations the day of to get the pre wedding photos. He captured the reception like when I look through back at those photos, it’s like I’m reliving my wedding. He was professional to work with and made it easy to ask questions or change anything g I didn’t want. I would book Mark 1,000 times again. You have to use him

Comfortable, fun, and beyond talented!

Mark was absolutely AWESOME during our engagement photos. We cannot wait to have him come out and photograph our wedding in July. Watching him look for great ways to add lighting and natural beauty to our photos was magical; he captured our personalities in such a true light, and made the entire experience easy, comfortable, and fun. We're excited to work with you again, soon, Mark!

Best photographer ever!

Where do I even start with Mark. He is just the absolute best! He blew our mind with our engagement shoot and just captured not just us but the emotions in our face and was so sweet and knew exactly what we wanted and knew exactly where we needed to be to get the perfect pictures. Then the day of our wedding, not only did he do an amazing job but everyone in the party absolutely loved his presence. He have life to the party too... Made us feel so comfortable that it was like he was another guest and captured random beautiful moments through the night. I already know he will be our photographer forever FOREVER because I will hire him for EVERYTHING! He is just one of a kind and takes the most stunning pictures.
Trust me - you will want him to be your photographer!

Really fun, highly responsive, and took great pictures!

Highly recommend. The church gave us a very short time frame to take pictures after the ceremony (like less than 20 minutes short). So I gave Mark a list of pictures I wanted to have and did not think we would be able to do all of them. Not only did he help keep us on track to get all the pictures on my list done, but he also helped us get several more in. Those are some of my favorite photos, and they weren't even on the list! He was very professional, and our guests loved him too.

Loves HIS Photography

I highly recommend Mark, he was very professional and I was so easy to work with. Our guest loved him and ask for his business card, they were able to see his professionalism and how much he enjoys his job. He is highly dependable, also showed up on time and his pictures are beautiful!

Best Value Photographer with a Great Eye!

My fiance and I booked with Mark after reading some reviews on WeddingWire and boy are we glad we went with him. Upon meeting Mark, he had this upbeat vibe to him and was very chill and flexible with us. He effortlessly framed and positioned us for our engagement photos and has quite an eye. To be honest, I was skeptical for a bit cause he was so lax but after getting the pics, this guy knows what he's doing and I would hands-down recommend him to anyone!

The best ever!

Mark was timely, considerate, quick, amazing, and one of the best people to work with! He took our Engagement and Wedding pictures and did an AMAZING job! He not only made sure that we had all the shots that we wanted but he also was dancing around with us to get the shots on the dance floor! I would hire him over and over and over again!
