Professional with a smile

Mark made my husband and I feel at ease the first time we met him, making us laugh, smile, and relax even when fairly stressed. The day of the wedding this feeling continued with him helping us stay on schedule all while making us feel perfectly comfortable, laugh, and smile through what was honestly a very exhausting day. I am so grateful for his candid shots and boisterous charm which made both me and my husband feel very well taken care of. Definitely give Mark a call if you're looking for a professional with a great smile!

Beautiful Photos

Mark Wayne is amazing!! He takes beautiful photos and was very willing to work with us when I decided to change our engagement photo session last minute. He is super fun and makes you feel comfortable when taking photos, he also pays attention to the small details and I appreciate that!!

AMAZING! Made the memories perfect!

Mark is absolutely fantastic! He is so nice, very welcoming and open to ideas. He makes sure you know the day is about what the couple wants, he takes many different shots to make sure you get photos you love. He did amazing candid and posed photographs and he has an eye for creativity. I was amazed at the quality of the photos and the amount of different pictures he put together and was able to shoot. He does this because he loves it and it shows through his work. I would give my highest possible recommendation to Mark, if you are able to book him for you event, DO IT. You will not be disappointed in any way!

My wife and I were fortunate to use Mark Wayne for our engagement and wedding in June 2018, and couldn’t be more pleased. We initially thought his rates must be too good to be true, however a coworker or ours had used him for their wedding as well and had incredible things to say. A couple of things that really stood out were his professionalism. He responds to every email incredibly fast, shows up early and was both reliable and a great communicator. Another thing that really stuck out was his desire to tailor the photos to us. With our family dynamics we had some specific shots we were hoping for, and he took great care to get every one of them. In addition, his interaction with guests at the wedding was phenomenal. I don’t know he does it, but it was easy to forget he was there, and our family members loved him. Finally, the pictures themselves where fantastic. Both the engagement and wedding photos were delivered on a thumb drive with incredibly high quality, and a phenomenal mix of posed and candid photos. We have more photos than we ever expected, and could not recommend Mark Wayne higher.

Mark was the only vendor we had who responded to email within 12 hours every single time we wrote him. We did everything remote and via email and at first he seems standoffish and not much personality. When he arrived the day of the wedding he was conoektkey different. So personable, funny, quick, professional, and just darn good at what he does. I was truly amazed by his experience and techniques. He was so wonderful and we were so lucky to have him as it photographer. If you're looking for professional, excellent, and top quality pictures i highly recommend him.

Mark was fantastic! Choosing him as our photographer was one of our best wedding decision. We haven't seen all the pictures yet, but he was briefly showing us what he had taken, and they looked amazing!
He was very kind, thoughtful for all situation we had, great to work with everyone in our wedding and made atmosphere so much fun.
I'm that kind of person who looks really serious or awkward with terrible posing in pictures. But Mark solved this. He gave me a lot of direction which I needed, and that made me much more comfortable and look good in the pictures.
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE WHO IS PLANNING WEDDING OR ANY OTHER EVENTS.

Mark’s mother passed away the night before our wedding. He showed up at my wedding the next day and still had a blast with us. He will never know how what a joy he brought to our wedding during his mourning he is truly a GEM.
WOW! Mark is unbelievably talented. I have had nothing but wonderful compliments on our wedding pictures and though scenery has a lot to do with that, I know so much of it is because of Mark. From our first conversation on the phone to the last email I have enjoyed every interaction. Getting pictures taken with him was exciting and if it weren't for time schedules I would have loved to take more. Everyone looks fantastic in our pictures and he captured so many unexpected moments. You would feel lucky to have him take pictures for you!
He was with us for most of the day, taking pictures before the ceremony, during, and after, the end of the reception and part of our dance. He captured all the family and friend shots we needed, and we were left with plenty of time for creative, artistic, and romantic shots as well. I didn't realize how lovely they would be until I saw them, Mark really has a great eye for a beautiful shot, and we will treasure the photos. We have some slightly more traditional "wedding portrait" photos, and many creative photographs that are beautiful simply as pieces of art, above and beyond a "wedding photo."
I loved that the photos do not look staged, fake, or cliché - he created lovely images that capture the beauty of our location and the excitement and romance of the wedding day.
Marks patience, professionalism, skill, and artistic eye were all deeply appreciated. Everyone who has seen the wedding album loves the photos. His photography is highly recommended and I would certainly hire him again. I could not have asked for a better photographer.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
