Samantha H. Sent on 01/05/2021Incredible videography!!!!
Our story of finding Mark as our wedding videographer actually started when we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID and book new vendors that were available for our new date. I swear it was perfect fate that we found him and we are so grateful for it because Mark is freaking TALENTED! Booking him as our wedding videographer was one of the best investments we made in wedding planning. Not only is he just such a great and kind person, but he it totally and fully invested in you and creating an incredible memory for you for a lifetime. Mark worked his butt off capturing each moment of our day and was smiling the entire time. He makes you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and will cue you what to do through each snippet. My father couldn't make our wedding so Mark recorded special moments of our day and expedited getting footage to us so I could send them to him right away and he could feel like he was there.
We have probably watched our wedding video at least a couple hundred times by now and each time we watch I can't stop crying. He perfectly embodied the love my husband and I have for one another, the love we felt from our family and friends that day, and that magic feeling of your dream wedding day.
It is true whatever everyone says about your wedding day, it FLIES by and as much as you want to remember every little moment, you simply can't as the bride and groom. I 100% recommend booking a videographer (specifically Mark Blake By the West, he is truly one of the best in the biz) because you be able to relive your wedding day over and over again and never forget the moments only a cinematic video can capture.
Thank you so much Mark!! We will forever cherish this beautiful video and memory you have created for us!! -

I am truly happy with his craft he really has a great eye and is talented. He was very professional and informative throughout the entire process and always provided his professional opinion for the best result. I am really happy with his work he captured every special moment I want to remember forever. I will always recommend Mark for any special events to my family and friends and will use him again for any special future events for me as well. Thank you again Mark B!!! -

We would definitely recommend Mark Blake Visuals to our family/friends. Not only is Mark's work amazing, but him and his team were a joy to work with on our wedding day as well. -

Michelle Sent on 11/27/2017After looking at Mark Blake Visuals' portfolio the pictures looked absolutely wonderful and what I am looking for in wedding photography. We decided to move forward with an engagement shoot, which was somewhat difficult to book during his busy wedding season schedule. Mark's usual response time via email was between 5-8 days, and I had to send an extra email or two as well. Unfortunately, finding a date to book took long enough that we were able to book another photographer for an engagement session in the meantime, while waiting to book with Mark. We did not feel like we were important clients and it seemed like our engagement session was not a priority to him. He also canceled on our session twice. Once for weather, more than 24 hours before our session, and the actual day was beautiful. And again after we were able to pick a good weather day, he cancelled due to a previous conflict which he missed after scheduling us for that day. We began the scheduling process in August and finally were able to book a session mid-October. Once booking an engagement session with Mark, the engagement pictures we received were sub-par and lacking in quality in comparison to what is exhibited on his website. The pictures are dark with shadows and some are even blurry and grainy. In the photos, my fiancé and I are hardly distinguishable. He provided very little guidance as to poses and most of the pictures were taken at odd angles, distorting our figures. The engagement session was scheduled based on Mark Blake's suggested location and time, so I was surprised they turned out so poorly given the ideal circumstances. I cannot risk having poor photos of my wedding day. Ultimately, the photos received are unusable for engagement announcements and I plan on finding another wedding photographer.Mark Blake By The West | Stills + Motion's reply:
Michelle and Jeff,
We do our best to accommodate the best conditions and weather for our couples. We have no control over forecast predictions and base our scheduling on the most up to date information available in order to provide consistent and beautiful lighting for our shoots. As mentioned in our sincere reply, we had one busy four day week while moving offices with no internet connection and got in touch as soon as possible to finalize rescheduling. It was not our intention to make you feel as if you weren't a priority for us as this couldn't be farther from the truth. Other than that our response with you two has been consistently addressed within reasonable timeframes (often replying within a few hours at most). The photos you received were in line with what is showcased on our website and frankly, the two of you look absolutely stunning. Although hurtful to lose you two, we wish you the best in finding a photographer that better meets your vision. -
