For a bride and groom, the wedding photographer is very often the longest lasting relationship among all the vendors. The venue is never visited again, the food is eaten, the dress put away and the fancy invitations put in a drawer. But the photos live forever.

Mark is a fantastic photographer whom I love to work with. He is kind, considerate, and very helpful. As a videographer, he's very respectful of my work, willing to work with me, and communicate effectively. I only hope I'm the same way! He's a great guy with a great eye (hey, that rhymes) so I definitely recommend him to anyone who is on the lookout for a fantastic wedding photographer.

Mark is AMAZING! He is a very talented photographer who takes great pics but he also makes everyone feel very comfortable from the beginning. We had the fortunate experience of getting to do several shoots with him and he truly felt like a long time friend that does amazing work. He is super prompt at turning things around and getting your pictures back in an easy to view/share way. I would definitely recommend Mark to anyone for wedding, family, baby pics, etc.

We did do several shoots and each time it was more fun with Karen and Jonathan and baby Lucas. The Palisades in Santa Monica, the family shoot on the beach and then the amazing Topanga Canyon wedding - Mazel-tov! I was witness to a couple of the most moving reception speeches of my career. It was memorable and joyous and a real family event. Karen was beautiful as you can see, always a good sport and Jonathan? He was the most touching groom, tearful, playful and (look at the pix) just crazy in love with his gorgeous Karen. The cat who got the cream. A gentleman ten times over. The kind of groom you bump into at a wedding and wish: “I wish I had a friend like that.” I just didn’t’ want these folks to move out of state but thank goodness for social media. I’ll miss ‘em. I am missing them already.

Amazing Photos and Video from Mark!

We are so so glad we had Mark for our engagement photos, and both our small intimate wedding ceremony and large family/friends ceremony and reception! Our theme was “under the stars” and so we did our engagement photos at Griffith Observatory. The photos came out amazing and we had so much fun. We used the photos for our Save the Dates and wedding website. The photos and videos from our two ceremonies came out beautiful and the video gave a chance to family who couldn’t make the wedding to experience our happy day. Mark sent us prints of our photos and copies of all the pictures and videos in a beautiful and personalized box with matching personalized usbs. Thanks again Mark for being such a great part of our day!

Michelle and Jeff were so kind, so easy-going and such good sports - we kinda took over the Griffith Park Observatory for the “under the stars” shoot and everyone there seemed to enjoy being part of the love and romance. Michelle and Jeff were so elegant (after a few nifty wardrobe changes) and onlookers smiled, stared admiringly and went “ooh and ahh”. It was like the scene from La La Land in Griffith Park and the magic didn’t stop there. Yep, Michelle and Jeff danced their way into my heart at the engagement shoot and on to the small church wedding and the large\family do at the Skirball where these two did an amazing rendition of that famous movie dance. It passed my “goose bumps” test. Superb. And yes I got it all on video from multiple camera angles. I only wish there was a third wedding of theirs to photograph - I’d be there tomorrow.

We worked with Mark for both our engagement photos and our wedding and it was such a pleasure! He's so kind and we always felt very comfortable around him. The photos and the videos from Mark are stunning and we're so glad he was able to capture this special time in our lives.

Meagan and Jacob had the kind of wedding you wanted to photograph over and over. They were simply the most charming, delightful and photogenic couple you could ask for. Big Sur, engagement photos on the beach, cliffs and sea mist - it's the sort of stuff you arrange at a styled wedding (posed shoot) but here it was for real and they were gorgeous!
