The first time I searched for photographers for my wedding, I cried. The prices were crazy and it was total panic. That was, until I found Mark. Mark was awesome--he had packages that you could purchase but I was looking for just a few hours and something a little more simple for my small wedding. Other photographers were not interested in a smaller affair but Mark was able to give me an hourly price that definitely fit our budget. About a week before the wedding, I decided I wanted to add on "First Look" pictures. When I mentioned this to Mark, he was more than willing to accommodate the extra time and with a fair price. On the day of Mark showed up on time and ready to go. As I was finishing getting ready, he took the time to get some shots of the area and other people involved in the wedding so not a moment of paid time went to waste. Mark captured the entire day while managing to stay inconspicuous and respectful of the ceremony the whole time. My pictures were received in a timely manner and my husband and I both LOVED them. Mark did an A+ job and I definitely recommend him to all!

Mark was very present in the whole wedding celebration without interrupting our very special moments. He captured the details that were dearest to our hearts and that we wanted to cherish in memory. We are forever indebted to him for retelling with his photography the story of our love. Mark is a gifted photagraher that we would recommend to everybody who wants to be gifted with the magic of his talent. 5 stars!

Mark Winkler captured all the perfect, natural moments at our wedding with great competence and imagination. He moved unobtrusively among the guests, finding the joy and animation in their faces! His stunning photographs bring our evening to life so we can enjoy it forever. And he made us look as happy as we felt. Thanks Mark!

We really enjoyed having Mark and Katie at our wedding. They were very kind, warm and professional. We are thrilled with our pictures, the pricing and they got our photos posted the next day, which was super exciting to see while on our honeymoon.

I highly recommend Mark for any wedding! He was very accommodating and when I wasn't sure about something he had some great suggestions but also when I was specific on a picture he did a better job then I imagined! Mark is very flexible as well and meet before are weeding at the location of our wedding so we already had some wonderful ideas before the actual day! Mark is wonderful you won't be disappointed!

We were married in San Luis Obispo and Mark Winkler did an excellent job with the photographs. He took a great mixture of candid and posed shots of everybody in the wedding party and the reception, black and white and color photographs, and helped us scout locations for photographs in the picturesque central coast. We highly recommend him to anyone getting married in the central coast and looking for quality, professional shots.

Mark Winkler did a great job for our special day. We got married in Santa Barbara and his familiarity with the area was a plus. His ability to capture the great shots without being distracting is really a gift. He was also able to capture the reception in such a natural way that just added to the whole experience of the day. He is so easy to work with and puts you at ease that I have nothing but praise for him and his photographic ability.

Mark Winkler Photography captured beautiful pictures of my wedding day. I love my wedding pictures!

Mark Winkler Photography is a professional, sensitive, quality photographer
who knows his trade, and his locations and the resultant photographs are visual proof that he can deliver. Mark was recommended to us by friends and we couldn't have been more pleased with the results. He knows the Central Coast better than nearly anyone and he knows how to bring out the best in the wedding party, and the guests. Mark's photos stand the test of time and years from now we will have those magic moments to look back on through his photos.

Mark Winkler was a great selection! His packages offer the best value in the area. He is able to work with you and provide anything you want. We received the album quickly after the wedding and were impressed with the quality.
