    Best Value Photographer with a Great Eye!

    My fiance and I booked with Mark after reading some reviews on WeddingWire and boy are we glad we went with him. Upon meeting Mark, he had this upbeat vibe to him and was very chill and flexible with us. He effortlessly framed and positioned us for our engagement photos and has quite an eye. To be honest, I was skeptical for a bit cause he was so lax but after getting the pics, this guy knows what he's doing and I would hands-down recommend him to anyone!

    Comfortable, fun, and beyond talented!

    Mark was absolutely AWESOME during our engagement photos. We cannot wait to have him come out and photograph our wedding in July. Watching him look for great ways to add lighting and natural beauty to our photos was magical; he captured our personalities in such a true light, and made the entire experience easy, comfortable, and fun. We're excited to work with you again, soon, Mark!

    Ridiculously pleased!

    Mark was wonderful from the moment we reached out to him to our wedding! He was flexible and so helpful for our engagement shoot. We ended up having a small, outdoor wedding with just our families because of COVID and Mark wore a mask and braved the heat - we were so thankful and impressed! The photos are beautiful and he made us so comfortable. Highly recommend!

    Above and beyond all expectations!! BOOK HIM!!

    Mark was a fabulous photographer! As a bride, he made me feel so comfortable during my bridal photos. They were beyond perfect. He went to multiple locations the day of to get the pre wedding photos. He captured the reception like when I look through back at those photos, it’s like I’m reliving my wedding. He was professional to work with and made it easy to ask questions or change anything g I didn’t want. I would book Mark 1,000 times again. You have to use him

    Best photographer ever!

    Where do I even start with Mark. He is just the absolute best! He blew our mind with our engagement shoot and just captured not just us but the emotions in our face and was so sweet and knew exactly what we wanted and knew exactly where we needed to be to get the perfect pictures. Then the day of our wedding, not only did he do an amazing job but everyone in the party absolutely loved his presence. He have life to the party too... Made us feel so comfortable that it was like he was another guest and captured random beautiful moments through the night. I already know he will be our photographer forever FOREVER because I will hire him for EVERYTHING! He is just one of a kind and takes the most stunning pictures.
    Trust me - you will want him to be your photographer!

    Really fun, highly responsive, and took great pictures!

    Highly recommend. The church gave us a very short time frame to take pictures after the ceremony (like less than 20 minutes short). So I gave Mark a list of pictures I wanted to have and did not think we would be able to do all of them. Not only did he help keep us on track to get all the pictures on my list done, but he also helped us get several more in. Those are some of my favorite photos, and they weren't even on the list! He was very professional, and our guests loved him too.

    The best ever!

    Mark was timely, considerate, quick, amazing, and one of the best people to work with! He took our Engagement and Wedding pictures and did an AMAZING job! He not only made sure that we had all the shots that we wanted but he also was dancing around with us to get the shots on the dance floor! I would hire him over and over and over again!

    Loves HIS Photography

    I highly recommend Mark, he was very professional and I was so easy to work with. Our guest loved him and ask for his business card, they were able to see his professionalism and how much he enjoys his job. He is highly dependable, also showed up on time and his pictures are beautiful!

    Wedding pics

    My husband and I are so thankful we met Mark. He did a fabulous job on our engagement photos and our wedding photos. He is prompt, professional and very talented. Our only complaint was that he took so many wonderful pics it was too difficult to narrow down. We were completely satisfied! Thank you Mark we love you!

    Accommodating & passionate

    Mark was so accommodating and easy to communicate with. I loved the fact that he will go out of his way to make sure he captures every moment of your special day. Mark was the first one to arrive at the venue on our wedding day (even before us bride and groom) and one of the last to leave. I loved his passion and energy and really enjoyed working with him!

    MARKK!! Mark was fantastic!! He did my bridals as well as my wedding day photos which all turned out GREAT and we got the photos back very quickly! He showed up to the wedding venue early and was able to capture some getting ready photos as well as the venue decorated before guests arrived. I cannot tell you how many people told me how awesome he was!! He was even having a blast during the reception and dancing while taking photos lol! If you’re looking for someone with a lot of energy, patience, and talent, choose Mark!! You will NOT be disappointed in your decision!!

    He captured everything so beautifully

    We hired Mark for our wedding and our engagement pictures. During our engagement pictures, he was so attentive and detailed and so energetic and made us feel totally comfortable! Our engagement pictures were absolutely beautiful. On our wedding day, he showed up and took pictures and stood in the rain to get the best shot of my bridesmaids and I. That's a whole new level of dedication! He managed to capture the absolutely joy our family and friends felt on our wedding day. Our ceremony pictures are stunning and I am absolutely obsessed with them. During the reception, he managed to get such intimate shots of our family and friends having a great time. Our family and friends COULD NOT stop talking about how amazing he was! He got our photos back to us quickly and they are beautiful!

    Artistic and creative

    Mark was a joy to work with. We had our engagement photos done with Mark.
    He will go anywhere and tries creative shots to make each photo stand out.
    He was at our wedding looking sharp and he was amazing! I don’t think he hardly took a break! I can’t wait to see our wedding photos! I know they will be fantastic! He is a very laid back guy who knows how to take photos that will last a lifetime! Don’t let the price fool you. He is awesome!

    Mark is flexible and professional, as well as extremely talented! Our pictures turned out better than I could have ever imagined and he got all of them to us quickly without sacrificing the quality! I will be recommending Mark to every couple I know! I am so thankful that he captured our memories so perfectly!

    Book Mark!!!!!

    This review is long overdue, but to this day I cannot say how much Mark was a pleasure to work with. He was so patient even when I asked him a million questions (sorry, Mark! :) ) and simply put--this guy can produce beautiful photos. My family and I were looking back at my wedding photos almost 9 months later and I felt each moment captured in the photo like it was yesterday. That's what a damn good picture does and it's all thanks to Mark. He's incredibly sweet and I look forward to working with him in the future!

    Mark is highly professional and very creative! I am impressed with how stunning the photos came out. He delivered them within 3 weeks, and he did not skimp out on quality with that quick turnaround.

    During our engagement shoot, he gave us great directions that transformed an average pose and shot into ones that you'd see in magazines. I love how he takes a simple background and brings so much beauty with his editing. One thing that I've learned from his technique is that less is more.

    Initially I chose Mark because his wedding package rates were very reasonable. After working with him and seeing the results, I know that I got the bargain of the year! He delivered everything I asked for and so much more. BOOK HIM NOW!!

    Mark did such an amazing job on both my engagement and wedding photos! They came out so beautifully and I couldn't have asked for a better photographer! Mark is so professional and was always so quick to respond. He showed up early on my wedding day and captured every moment. You will not be disappointed! I can't wait to frame my pictures!

    He went above and beyond my expectations and did a phenomenal job on my wedding photos! He showed up early to the wedding to get set up and was so professional and kind throughout the entire night. He really captured so many special and sentimental moments that I didn’t even realize he took pictures of. I would definitely highly recommend!

He has a beautiful perspective on shooting weddings. He will definitely be my family's photographer in the foreseeable future!
