Warm, Joyful Photos for Our Best Day!

Mark is an excellent photographer and we highly recommend working with him! His photography style is beautiful as you can see on his website, and he did not disappoint! He is really easy-going to work with and sent us photo previews of our album within 2.5 weeks after our wedding, he also included videos of our ceremony and speeches and short video clips throughout our day without added cost which we were so grateful for! We love the warm edit our photos have and all the formal and informal moments captured throughout the day. It may be helpful to know when working with a documentary-style photographer that you may need to be more directive if you want specific shots or for moving your own timeline along. Mark serves more as a fly on the wall for whatever is happening rather than directing your day for the photos (this is how we wanted it to be, but may be good to know for future couples). We are thrilled and can't stop staring at our photos even 7 months later! We would absolutely love to work with Mark again in the future.

Excellent Experience

Mark was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. From our first call with him, to the engagement shoot, and the actual wedding day, Mark was professional and extremely easy to work with. Both my wife and I are camera shy but Mark did an excellent job making us feel comfortable. He was great about getting not only the couple portraits that we wanted and group shots, but he also was always there to take group shots during the cocktail hour and reception (even offering to take photos both his camera and people's cell phones).

Photos To Cherish

Mark and his team are amazing! We were a bit late in hiring our photographer, but Mark was amazing and attentive. We had a number of phone conversations to chat about style and what we wanted. On the day of the wedding he made sure we got every picture we had told him we wanted. He captured all of the moments and even moments we didn't even know were happening. His candid pictures are fantastic and photos we will cherish for life.

Wonderful!

Mark photographed our backyard wedding last month and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. My husband and I don't take a lot of pictures and tend to look very stiff and uncomfortable when we do, so we were looking for someone who would be unobtrusive day-of and had a candid, relaxed style. Mark was perfect! We felt so comfortable with him (I honestly forgot he was there sometimes) and a number of our guests commented that they enjoyed his vibe. And then he got our (600+) pictures back to us within two weeks! We are SO happy with them. He documented all the moments, big and small, perfectly (both posed pictures and candids). We loved so many of the pictures that it was very difficult to pick ones for an album. Highly highly recommend Mark!

Can't ask for better!

You can clearly see on Mark's website how amazing his photography is, but what isn't as obvious is his day-of approach- he made us feel extremely comfortable during both our engagement and wedding photos which made the more formal takes that much easier. He is the utmost professional, blends in when he needs to and as a bonus he had good existing working relationships with both our DJ and venue. Would definitely recommend him for your wedding- couldn't have asked for better!

Fantastic Photographer!

Mark Davidson so beautifully captured our wedding and was such a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process. From our initial conversation to the day of our event, he was incredibly attentive to what we were hoping to have captured and executed our vision perfectly. He has such an artistic eye, capturing the “big” and “little” moments with such liveliness that, in looking at our album, we feel like we’re celebrating our wedding all over again. Mark is responsive, personable and comfortable to be around, which showed through in how natural our photos appear. We are so lucky to have worked with Mark and to have such special photos to remember our special day by.

So happy with our wedding photos!

Mark did an awesome job capturing our "micro wedding" last month. He was so great to work with from the very beginning, and most importantly, we ended up with amazing photos from our special day. The photos look really natural and effortless--both the candid shots and the posed photos. He also made my husband and I feel super comfortable in front of the camera, which was key since I am the self-proclaimed queen of awkwardness. We are thrilled to have worked with him, and would recommend him to anyone!

Stunning Photos

I cannot say enough great things about Mark. His photos were absolutely stunning, thoughtful, and truly captured the best moments from our wedding day. I highly recommend Mark, if you are looking for unforgettable images with an incredibly creative edge.

Unbelievable Photos

Mark was so amazing to work with. To start, he was so flexible when we moved our wedding to Maine just 2 months before the wedding. He is so easy to work with, he is flexible, kind and creative. He has a passion for photography and you can tell in his work. He takes amazing candid shots, where you can see and feel the emotion in the pictures. He really cares for the client and will work extremely hard to capture every moment of the wedding day. I would highly recommend to anyone!!

Breathtaking photos - incredible experience!

As a wedding professional, I've worked alongside Mark Davidson at countless weddings and when it came to my own wedding, I knew without a doubt that I wanted Mark to capture it. We actually selected our wedding date based on Mark's availability - we just couldn't imagine anyone but Mark being there to document the day! We were so honored that Mark was able to join us for our wedding weekend in Pennsylvania. Mark's talent is obvious - and shines through in any of his photographs. He is truly a master of his craft. Mark's ability to capture the most intimate of moments, artfully frame the most stunning of photographs, and his mastery of light make him one of the most talented photographers I've had the privilege to work with professionally - and now personally. Mark has this incredible ability to capture indoor photographs in way I have seen few other photographers do. He's able to bring that same natural, lit-from-within-glow to his indoor photography, and do so effortlessly. Much of our wedding took place indoors (and even more than we originally planned as it ended up raining!) but Mark blew us away with the photographs and the quality of light he was able to capture. I know few other photographers would have been able to do what he did. What you may not be able to tell is the kind of person Mark Davidson is. He is an utmost professional and widely respected among the Boston wedding community and beyond. But Mark is also a funny, genuine person and caring friend. Mark blended in seamlessly with our wedding guests and his calming, easy-going presence was a cherished part of our wedding weekend. Mark gave us the greatest gift in being our wedding photographer and we are so grateful for the stunning photographs he created. Thank you Mark, for everything! We are forever grateful to you!

Beautiful pictures and incredible to work with!

Mark was truly incredible to work with! I had first discovered him after he was the photographer for a friend’s wedding, and I absolutely loved her pictures. So when it came time for my husband and I to pick a photography, I knew Mark had to be it! He was so easy & nice to work with from the very beginning! He was always available to answer any questions through the wedding planning process. Our pictures are perfect, and I could not love them anymore! There are so many beautiful candid pictures that I really love, but even for the more poised pictures, they look really natural and effortless. I’ve had many friends tell me how shocked they are that we got our pictures back so quickly (13 days after the wedding). And Mark makes it super easy to be able to go online look at all of your pictures and then download them.
Working with Mark was truly a gift, not only is he incredibly talented in his art, but he was so nice and easy going through the entire process! I will recommend him to any future friends/family who get married!

Photos of a Lifetime

Mark was incredible. He knew where to be at all times and was never intrusive or overwhelming. He was able guide us through our wedding day without us even knowing. He captured every smile and laugh that meant the most to us. His style is seemingly effortless, natural and easy. The photographs mirrored the happiness and fun we had all day. We highly recommend working with Mark!

Will not disappoint!

We selected Mark based on his gorgeous photos and ability to capture real emotions in his candids. Mark and his colleague, Dustin's performance did not disappoint! Not only were they a calming presence, but half the time they blended in so well, you didn't even know they were there! However, once we got the photos, we were thrilled at all the moments Mark did capture. We can truly re-live our wedding day by going through our album. Mark has a true talent and we loved working with him!

Highly Highly Recommend

I LOVE the pictures from my wedding. Mark captured all of the joy and excitement my husband and I, and our guests were feeling that day. Because we got married at the Boston Public Library we had a mix of indoor and outdoor spaces and the photographs from every location were fantastic. Inside shots can be tricky because of how the light plays, but it wasn't an issue for Mark, we love the photographs taken inside the library just as much as we love the shots taken outside in the courtyard. In addition, Mark was super easy to work with throughout the day. He put everyone at ease, efficiently directed the formal pictures, and captured lots of candid moments of laughter and joy. Even working with Mark in the lead up to the wedding was a breeze. He was always very responsive to our questions and really flexible when it came to our pre-wedding meeting. An added bonus to everything is that we got our pictures exactly two weeks after the wedding, which was so fast and amazing. We can't thank Mark enough and highly recommend him to others looking to capture their wedding day!

Mark was an awesome photographer to work with. He did a great job photographing our respective days getting ready, being both present and in the background.
We both really enjoyed having him during the ceremony and reception, and were sad to see him leave at the end of the night. Our parents keep commenting on how great he was (three months after the wedding!)
All of our photographs came out beautifully - it was hard to just pick a few to print. We found him from a friend's referral, and we will continue referring him.

We loved working with Mark for our wedding. He was able to capture the day with wonderful images and get them back to us extremely quickly. He got all the important moments without being obtrusive. He was communicative and we were able to capture the pictures that were important to us without taking to much time from our guests. I would absolutely recommend working with him. I can't wait to hang some pictures on our wall.

I could not be happier with not just the pictures, but the moments Mark was able to capture. The pure joy, the candidness, the emotion that he was able to grab is beyond talented. I am forever grateful for his work, it speaks for itself but I had to write a RAVING review on his behalf. He will be documenting my sister-in-law's wedding next year and I can't wait to see those pictures. Thank you so much Mark! You are truly amazing!!

Mark was a dream to work with. He is easy going and wants to make sure that he captures all the moments that are most important to the couple. From the moment, we met with him, we knew we found our photographer. He is down to earth, fun and friendly. At the wedding many people commented how smoothly he flowed into the event and was out of site while doing the job. He was great! The photos were all we could have hoped for! Mark was able to capture the essence of our entire event and we have too many good photos to choose from. Now we are going to work on putting together an album with him. Bottom line, hire Mark!

We had a really great experience with Mark. I personally just wanted a photographer that would capture the wedding without having to direct him too much so I could enjoy the day. I didn't have any specific shots in mind and he was really great taking initiative and knowing exactly what to shoot. We had booked him for 8 hours and at the wedding we wanted to extend his services a little later so he could capture some more key moments and he had no problem accommodating us. I would reccommend him to anyone!

My wife and I hired Mark to photograph our farm-ish wedding (Groton MA, Oct 2016) and he did a fantastic job! We skipped a bunch of the traditional wedding stuff but we wanted to make sure that we didn’t skimp on photography and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice.

Our ceremony and reception were intimate (~20 people) and he really captured the joy and closeness of the guests. He also had an excellent eye for landscape and found ways to incorporate us into it strikingly. Mark is omnipresent and unobtrusive, even in a group of 20.

Bottom line: if you’re considering Mark, make the move! We can’t recommend him highly enough.

Mark was amazing! I could not be more please with how my wedding photos came out! He is a pleasure to work with and he captured so many amazing memories for us. Some of my favorites were the candid shots of our guests. Mark does whatever he has to to get the shot, he even was crouching down in tall grass/marsh area to get a shot of us during sunset with the marina in the background.

Mark photographed my wedding and was absolutely wonderful! He was easy going and made us feel comfortable- as we might be the most awkward couple in front of a camera ever! We even asked Mark to stay an hour later at our wedding and without hesitation he complied. Would highly recommend- loved his style!

Mark was such a pleasure to work with and is extremely talented. He came to us highly recommended and we can totally understand why. We got married on cape cod and He arrived early to scope out the scene and find where some of the best spots for photos would be. He spent the morning with us, but he remained mostly in the background working to document some of the excitement, nerves , laughter and tears before the ceremony. He then went on to take hundreds of incredible photos of the day and evening which allow us to relive the experience everytime we look at them. He does a tremendous job of capturing moments and emotion, all while remaining 'behind the scenes.' His photos tell a story in such a beautiful way. Couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture our day.

Mark photographed our wedding at the Barn at Gibbet Hill and the photos came out amazing! Mark was easy to work with, professional, punctual, and well organized. We planned out all of the family photos we wanted in advance which allowed us to complete them in less than 15 minutes. We also loved having rights to our photos which allowed us to create a custom wedding album on our own. We would highly recommend Mark!

Mark is amazing. He was very flexible and professional before our event and even more so the day of. His photographs are absolutely incredible and I get compliments daily on my wedding photos. He is extremely dedicated and talented. He does whatever it takes to get the perfect shot- he was even running through and laying down in tall grassy marsh area to get a sunset shot for us.

Mark was increadibly helpful and easy going beginning with our initial consultation through to receiving our photos. We were able to work through what we wanted to get out of his services beforehand (his experience and suggestions were extremely helpful) and he was able to do it all! Mark was able to go with the flow and it was great to have one less vendor to manage during such a busy day. We barely noticed him, but he was also there whenever we had a request, and he managed to catch photos of everything. All of our photos are gorgeous and capture the day like we remember it happening. The investment was much lower than costs or many other photographers we spoke with and the quality of what we received was beyond what we could have expected.

The moment we met with Mark we knew he would capture every special moment of our wedding day! We just got our photos and I am not surprised at how amazing they are. From family photos, to quick glances between my husband and I, and candid's on the dance floor - everything was captured perfectly. His creativity shines in every photo, all which look like they belong in a magazine.

We also rented the photo booth, which is a must! The quality of the photos were top notch and some very funny moments were captured. Thank you, Mark! We will cherish these photos forever!

Mark photographed with our wedding and gave us back a beautiful collection of photos just a few weeks later! We absolutely loved how they came out and when we weren't formally posing for our group or solo shots, you would never even know he was there! He doesn't get in the way of the action and just lets the day unfold while capturing it perfectly. We got so many great candid shots and photos of our friends and family having fun on the dance floor and we are so glad we hired him!

Mark Davidson did an incredible job photographing our wedding. His photos all look like they belong in a wedding magazine and we couldn't be happier with the results. We were drawn to the way his style seems to capture all of the little candid moments of the day and we were so pleased that at our wedding, he truly captured all of the emotions and feelings of the day, from the formal photos to the little glances between my wife and me. We feel so fortunate to have these moments forever captured in our photos and are so thankful to Mark for his work. He made everything so easy for us, got us through the formal photos efficiently and allowed us as much time as possible to spend on less formal photos as a couple, or with our guests. He has an amazing eye for using the surroundings to take creative and unique photos, and was always more than accommodating with any requests we had. I'd HIGHLY recommend Mark Davidson, as his talent, his photos, and value are second to none!

Mark Davidson did a wonderful job at our wedding. We had a small ceremony and tried to keep everything sentimental and traditional (I wore my mother's wedding dress, we had the ceremony in the same church that my parents got married in, my husband's father officiated our ceremony, we had the reception in my grandparent's beach home, etc.). Mark captured all of the sweet and sincere moments of our wedding beautifully! His unique and creative photojournalism style revealed how truly happy we felt that day amongst all of our family and close friends. We couldn't have asked for better photos of our special day. Even when you try to keep your wedding small and simple, there's always elements that come up on the wedding day that can potentially stress you out a little as a bride. Mark's patience and courtesy successfully alleviated any stress I felt regarding scheduling and details on my wedding day. Mark's professionalism and skill resulted in the perfect wedding photos, memories that we'll always treasure, and we feel so blessed to have these loving moments preserved in our wedding photos so we can remember our special day forever.

Mark was an absolute pleasure to work with! He actually flew all the way out to California to do a destination shoot for us and I wouldn't have had it any other way. His quality of work exceeds that of all the other photographers we looked at which is why we chose to work with him. We are glad we did! He made us feel comfortable which led to truly amazing photos. I would recommend Mark's services to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

After considering many photographers, we chose Mark because of his photojournalism-like approach, his skill with natural light, and his low cost (his services were thousands of dollars less than others with a similar style). I barely noticed him on our wedding day (and many others commented on how unobtrusive he was) and yet he captured every single moment more beautifully than I ever could have hoped. The photos exceeded my very high expectations.

Mark Davidson was our wedding photographer. He came highly recommended from wedding blogs and magazines throughout New England, and he performed true to those reviews. He was worth his weight in gold! He was easy to work with, kind, caring, creative, and genuinely a great photographer. My husband and I were thrilled to have him at our wedding because he felt like a friend even after only meeting once before. He captured our day so beautifully that I am moved with emotion each time I look at the photos. I would use him for any event I would need in the future and I have recommended him to countless friends. It is hard to find such great people with great talent. My husband and I LOVE Mark Davidson, he was truly an added blessing to our day!

Mark photographed our wedding on May 24, 2014. He was fun to work with and easy going. He caught the whole day just as it happened, each candid better than the last. He took some traditional "posed shots" that I specifically requested, and with a large group that spent an hour in a party bus prior to the photos, I imagine that was a challenge, but even those turned out wonderfully. My family and friends were equally impressed with the shots he got, and I have already had many soon to be brides asking for his name :) Thanks to Mark, the best day of my life is well documented in truly beautiful photos!

My wife and I feel so fortunate to have had Mark Davidson photograph our wedding. From our initial consultation through the event itself Mark was by far our easiest and most professional vendor to work with. We loved being able to do everything from execute the contract to arrange payment via his website - it made things very easy for us and created one less thing to mail out.

On the day he was on time, worked to make sure we got all of the portraits we requested and took some amazing candid photos. As we reviewed the photos over and over we were amazed that he had managed to be there for so many moments on a very busy day.

After the wedding we were thrilled with the turnaround time to receive our photos. Mark was even faster than he'd estimated and it was fun to receive them while the wedding still felt recent.

I would enthusiastically recommend Mark Davidson to anyone - he really made us feel like he cared about our wedding and we love the photos from our wedding.

Mark Davidson and his team were amazing. I don't think we could have asked for better photographers. The images they captured were absolutely stunning. I was very impressed with the mix of traditional wedding photography and very creative, unique shots. He even made us a short video of the day that made everyone in my family cry. It was beautiful. My brother is a professional photographer and even he was impressed with Mark's work. I would 100% recommend Mark Davidson!

Mark Davidson is amazing. Our wedding photos turned out beautifully and we have him to thank for being such a talented photographer. He was responsive and always available as we were getting ready for our big day. My wedding party and our guests commented that he was discrete and unobtrusive, but managed to capture all the important moments of us getting ready, our ceremony, our first dance, the touching speeches delivered by our family as well our reactions to them. For our family portraits he worked quickly and efficiently and got through a number of pictures so people did not get bored or distracted.

During cocktail hour, my husband and I took our first pictures, and he captured a number of stunning photos. It was hard to choose which ones we should frame! Everyone has complimented us on our wedding albums and agree that he was overall really great. I would highly recommend Mark Davidson for your New England wedding!

My husband and I got married in August at The Four Seasons in downtown Boston. Mark Davidson did a fantastic job photographing our wedding. My husband is a journalist and we were drawn to Marks photos for his "real and "in the moment" like photos. We felt very comfortable with Mark and we liked that he was never in our faces with his camera. We really liked how Mark was able to meet with us before the wedding to come up with a game plan for pictures we wanted in The Public Garden before our wedding. We had a perfect day and have many wonderful photos thanks to Mark. Mark is very professional, easy to talk to and a true artist. We would highly recommend him!

Mark shot my sister's wedding -- what an amazing and talented individual! He wrangled family members with aplomb, captured moments that even the wedding party missed and exercised such discretion that he was practically invisible. His charming personality and quiet sense of humor were delightful bonuses.

Mark Davidson is incredibly talented. He is very very easy to work with and made my husband and I feel very comfortable in front of the camera. We never felt like he was in our faces taking pictures. Mark has a knack for blending into the background so you don't realize he is even there. The result is beautiful photographs that capture the emotion of the day.

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding! Mark was absolutely amazing to work with. We still get compliments on how amazing our pictures came out, thanks to Mark! People were raving about him. What I loved most working with Mark is that we felt so comfortable with him. He was so easy to work with and captured the most memorable moments of the wedding. We were lucky enough to have him take our engagement pictures as well. Both the wedding and engagement pictures were truly breathtaking. Mark is a gem and an amazing photographer, I would highly recommend him!

I can't imagine any photographer being any better. Mark is at the top of this field, and if you are lucky enough to be able to book him, dont think about it, just do it! He is an absolute joy to work with, and can adapt to whatever style you are looking for; or his own style is fantastic too! The pictures are what you would expect to see in a magazine! You never expect your own pictures to come out that good, but Mark finds a way to make you look amazing! He is always quick to repsond to an email, and he even set up his laptop during the ceremony to show off some of the best pictures! Overall, I really don't know where or how it can get any better!

I found Mark Davidson on a wedding blog that I read frequently and decided to book his services before he had moved to the east coast, based on the beautiful photos on his website, and also all of the positive comments. When Mark met with my now-husband and I, we were not disappointed - he is friendly, outgoing and professional. Mark worked tirelessly on the day of our wedding, as evidenced by all of the photos I received back only two weeks afterward. Our wedding had 215 guests in attendance and I'm fairly certain Mark managed to catch each person in at least one photograph. The photos are stunning and he captured the day exactly as I remembered it.

Mark is a true artist and so easy to work with. From our first interaction with him, we both felt at ease knowing that his laid-back presence and candid style would fit perfectly into our idea of the perfect wedding day. He kept in touch throughout the year leading up to our wedding, and he arrived earlier than he said he would on the actual day. He captured so many beautiful candid photos that represented our friends and family perfectly--so much more than any of the posed photos could have. He had the photographs ready weeks before he said he would which was also such a nice surprise--especially when we have friends who were married months before us who still hadn't gotten their photos! Overall, highly recommend Mark (and definitely the photobooth!) and looking forward to sharing his name with all of our newly engaged friends.

I was so elated and relieved when i finally found Mark. Mark is an incredibly talented photo journalist. Not only was Mark extremely responsive and communicative throughout the engagement, but on the day of our wedding he was helpful, present, while also respecting the natural flow of the day. Mark's photos were perfect- he truly captured all of the incredible emotions of our day. He was able to capture moments that myself and my husband weren't able to notice during the rush of the day! We couldn't have been happier with the final product- and will surely use these photos to forever remember this incredible day!

Mark was a fabulous part of our wedding day. He traveled to our wedding and let me know when he got into town, which was a great reassurance. Mark was exactly the kind of vendor I wanted to have on our wedding day: engaged, attentive, easygoing, and kind. He allowed us to decide when and how much time to dedicate to posed photographs and made creative suggestions for locations and poses that suited us.

Mark posted a preview of our photos on his blog just two days after the wedding and delivered all the files while we were on our honeymoon. The images are amazing! We have no regrets about our photographs. Everyone has commented on how well he captured the moments of the day. We highly recommend Mark!

After reviewing Mark's photos online, we decided to give him a call. After a few minutes of talking, we knew he was the right choice for us! He is down-to-earth, flexible, dedicated to his work and very professional. For any couple who doesn't love to take pictures or be the center of attention, he captures the day effortlessly and without significant impact. The candid moments he captures are spectacular, and exactly what we were hoping to receive! A big plus was that the turnaround time on the pictures was very quick (less than 7 business days), at which point we were provided digital copies of all photos.

Mark was very easy to work with and captured some great moments from our wedding. The weather was not good the day of, so we were unable to get the type of wedding party portraits and family portraits we wanted but Mark and his second photographer did a great job photographing the energy and emotions of the ceremony and reception. A family member living abroad that could attend said she felt like she was there when we sent her the to link to the pictures!

Mark was fantastic...really laid back and flexible. He made us very comfortable and it was almost like he and his assistant weren't there for the candid shots...they totally blended in. I also thought the value and pricing was more than fair for the time and finished product we received.

From start to finish, Mark was wonderful to work with. He took the time to understand what my husband and I wanted and at the wedding made sure that every picture we indicated "important" was taken. I truly appreciated that, because in the moment, I didn't really care, but boy am I so happy to have those pictures! Mark was punctual, well dressed, and did a great job blending into the crowd. Looking through pictures I find myself wondering how he got such great shots; I felt like I hardly saw him all night. And the pictures! They are beautiful, they really captured the night and how much fun everyone was having. The photography was something that was really important to me, and I'm so glad I decided to go with Mark; he 's a gem!

Mark was a wonderful photographer. He was great at getting everyone together for the posed pictures, but most of all, I loved his candid shots of the guests, and moments on the dance floor. Just a few weeks after the wedding, we received the online images and then soon after the usb of all the photos. We are so happy with how they all turned out!

Mark did our recent wedding photos, and they are nothing less than absolutely AMAZING!
Mark is very professional, understanding, patient and above all EXCELLENT at his art.
Everything from the initial 1st meeting till the end of our wedding night was smooth. During the entire ceremony and reception you wouldn't even know he was there...meaning he wasn't obtrusive or in anyones way, but somehow managed to get beautiful and meaningful pictures.
He is one of the best around in my opinion, and I'd recommend him to every bride!!

The bride and groom didn't want a photographer that ran the show; they wanted someone who documented events as they happened during the day as well as a mix of B&G, family, friends and cameos of wedding celebration. Mark respected their request not to run the day, and met with family ahead of the event to understand the flow, provided a info sheet to identify photos the B&G wanted of family and friends, and stayed in background during the day capturing the moments. Mark provided a nice mix of bride and groom photos in different settings in the historic seaside location, as well as capturing cameos throughout the wedding celebration. Mark takes the time to go through the shots he takes of the day to cull down to a manageable number of the best and presents them in a weblink that can be shared with family and friends, and a flashdrive for custom printing as desired. I'd recommend Mark and suggest using all of the planning tools he provides as well as the tips for ensuring that the photography is a seamless background activity during the special day, and not the star of the show. Many thanks to Mark for his respectful, professional approach.

Bad experience

Disappointment is an understatement. Planning a wedding during a pandemic is not easy only to be made unnecessarily more stressful by an inflexible and confrontational wedding photographer.

We planned to work with Mark for our June 2021 wedding. Mark completed our engagement photo session a few months before the pandemic shut down. We found him to be awkward and provided little guidance or feedback throughout the session making my fiancé and I both felt awkward and we feel like it definitely shows in the pictures. We ended up having to edit his photos to make one usable for our save the dates.

We reached out to Mark 6 months prior to our planned wedding date to explain to him that we were concerned about needing to postpone the wedding. He told us we would work together to find a new date. We coordinated with our venue and other vendors and sent Mark at least 3 potential dates that worked for our family and our other vendors. Mark replied that he was “booked out for Saturday’s in 2021” and that he wouldn’t be able to do any of the dates we presented. We told him our venue could not make a go or no go decision until 2 months before the June data due to uncertainty on Covid restrictions. He then agreed to follow suit with the venue and make a final decision 2 months prior to the wedding date. Nevertheless, despite numerous contacts and communications with Mark, he would continuously send us “breach of contract” notice. When I asked about it, he told me to ignore them. Mark then became deceptive and manipulative. He would say one thing to us, but then point to a place in the contract that he would say we broke, despite our countless communication we found Mark to be completely unreasonable, manipulative for money and quite frankly deceitful. He refused to return the deposit despite the wedding being called off not by us but by the state not allowing our wedding on the original contract date. He even tried to trick us to be in a position where he could claim we owed him the full amount for a wedding canceled due to state regulations, not us.

I know this is one bad review of his many positive ones, but I urge you not to fall into the same trap we did. Mark came across as someone whose sole goal is to make money for himself.
