    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!!

    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!

    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!

    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!!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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 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 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 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 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.
