Mark is beyond talented! We won a giveaway that he did for a complimentary engagement photo shoot and instantly felt so comfortable. He doesn’t stage his pictures, he captures true moments. Once we got our pictures back we fell in LOVE with the way all of them looked. After reaching out to many other photographers we found mark and his team fit us best in what we were looking for, price wise & honestly how comfortable we felt at our engagement shoot. We felt like we have known him forever when in reality we just met him. We are beyond excited to have him shoot our wedding in May 2025!

We first met Mark when he shot our engagement photos, and he immediately put us at ease. While taking our photos, we felt incredibly comfortable with his directions, and we had fun throughout the entire process. When we received our engagement photos, we loved them. Mark not only made my wife look beautiful, but he also captured the scenic location around us.

One year later, Mark and Tom photographed our wedding. Once again, we had a great time with Mark and Tom. Our bridal parties had fun with both guys, and their direction made it easy to take photos before our wedding. Mark kept us on schedule, but we never felt rushed or frantic as we took photos with our friends and family. My wife and I were particularly happy with the location of our first look. Despite the rain, Mark and his team set up the location perfectly, and it was a special moment that we’ll never forget.

During our ceremony, Mark and Tom flawlessly captured the look we desired. Their photos were intimate without being intrusive. My wife and I were able to enjoy the moment, and we felt confident that their team would preserve anything we missed. We particularly loved how Mark shot our first look of our reception room and our cake-cutting. Again, Mark took photos in a way that captured the elegance of our decor. Our cake-cutting photos were particularly beautiful, and now we have photos that remind us of the perfection of that private moment.

Once the party got started, Mark and Tom were on the dance floor the entire time with our guests, and our band and DJ. Their photos let us see how much our guests enjoyed our wedding and confirmed our decision to hire This Insane Idea Photography. If you hire Mark and Tom, know that you’re getting two professionals who not only will perfectly photograph your wedding, but do it in a way that allows you to thoroughly enjoy your special day.

A dear friend of ours, who happens to be a photographer, recommended This Insane Idea Photography to us for our wedding. We had been shopping around for photographers, but hadn’t found anyone offering the style and quality we wanted in our price range. When we looked through Mark’s website, we knew “that’s exactly what we want”.

We made our interest known and had a quick initial chat with Mark - his charisma and openness were abundantly clear and made us comfortable being ourselves (important for candid photos!). He answered all of our questions, including his strategy for capturing our diverse crowd of guests coming to our wedding.

A few months prior to our wedding, we had an engagement shoot with Mark on Princeton’s campus. He made us feel comfortable and close and had a constant stream of suggestions for poses and shots to take. We loved our Hogwarts vibes engagement shoot and getting to know Mark.

On our wedding day, This Insane Idea showed up in full force with Mark, Brittany, and Tom. They were on time and high energy and knew exactly what they needed to do. We weren’t expecting to get close to our photographers, but they are simply great people and we felt like friends by the end of the day. The photos are gorgeous, candid, and true to life. We keep reviewing them to relive our wedding from a million perspectives we didn’t get to see on the day of. It’s been a joy to zoom in on the photos and appreciate the details of the day, and the expressions on our guests' faces. We will treasure these photos and the experience forever. We can’t recommend This Insane Idea highly enough, do it!
