    Professional with a smile

    Mark made my husband and I feel at ease the first time we met him, making us laugh, smile, and relax even when fairly stressed. The day of the wedding this feeling continued with him helping us stay on schedule all while making us feel perfectly comfortable, laugh, and smile through what was honestly a very exhausting day. I am so grateful for his candid shots and boisterous charm which made both me and my husband feel very well taken care of. Definitely give Mark a call if you're looking for a professional with a great smile!

    Beautiful Photos

    Mark Wayne is amazing!! He takes beautiful photos and was very willing to work with us when I decided to change our engagement photo session last minute. He is super fun and makes you feel comfortable when taking photos, he also pays attention to the small details and I appreciate that!!

    AMAZING! Made the memories perfect!

    Mark is absolutely fantastic! He is so nice, very welcoming and open to ideas. He makes sure you know the day is about what the couple wants, he takes many different shots to make sure you get photos you love. He did amazing candid and posed photographs and he has an eye for creativity. I was amazed at the quality of the photos and the amount of different pictures he put together and was able to shoot. He does this because he loves it and it shows through his work. I would give my highest possible recommendation to Mark, if you are able to book him for you event, DO IT. You will not be disappointed in any way!

    My wife and I were fortunate to use Mark Wayne for our engagement and wedding in June 2018, and couldn’t be more pleased. We initially thought his rates must be too good to be true, however a coworker or ours had used him for their wedding as well and had incredible things to say. A couple of things that really stood out were his professionalism. He responds to every email incredibly fast, shows up early and was both reliable and a great communicator. Another thing that really stuck out was his desire to tailor the photos to us. With our family dynamics we had some specific shots we were hoping for, and he took great care to get every one of them. In addition, his interaction with guests at the wedding was phenomenal. I don’t know he does it, but it was easy to forget he was there, and our family members loved him. Finally, the pictures themselves where fantastic. Both the engagement and wedding photos were delivered on a thumb drive with incredibly high quality, and a phenomenal mix of posed and candid photos. We have more photos than we ever expected, and could not recommend Mark Wayne higher.

    Mark was the only vendor we had who responded to email within 12 hours every single time we wrote him. We did everything remote and via email and at first he seems standoffish and not much personality. When he arrived the day of the wedding he was conoektkey different. So personable, funny, quick, professional, and just darn good at what he does. I was truly amazed by his experience and techniques. He was so wonderful and we were so lucky to have him as it photographer. If you're looking for professional, excellent, and top quality pictures i highly recommend him.

    Mark was awesome. He is personable, professional and has a great sense of humor. He is very attentive with the shots he is taking trying to catch every unique moment of your wedding. He works quickly and has a great vision on finding the right shots to take.

    Mark was fantastic! Choosing him as our photographer was one of our best wedding decision. We haven't seen all the pictures yet, but he was briefly showing us what he had taken, and they looked amazing!
    He was very kind, thoughtful for all situation we had, great to work with everyone in our wedding and made atmosphere so much fun.
    I'm that kind of person who looks really serious or awkward with terrible posing in pictures. But Mark solved this. He gave me a lot of direction which I needed, and that made me much more comfortable and look good in the pictures.
    WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE WHO IS PLANNING WEDDING OR ANY OTHER EVENTS.

    Mark’s mother passed away the night before our wedding. He showed up at my wedding the next day and still had a blast with us. He will never know how what a joy he brought to our wedding during his mourning he is truly a GEM.
    WOW! Mark is unbelievably talented. I have had nothing but wonderful compliments on our wedding pictures and though scenery has a lot to do with that, I know so much of it is because of Mark. From our first conversation on the phone to the last email I have enjoyed every interaction. Getting pictures taken with him was exciting and if it weren't for time schedules I would have loved to take more. Everyone looks fantastic in our pictures and he captured so many unexpected moments. You would feel lucky to have him take pictures for you!
    He was with us for most of the day, taking pictures before the ceremony, during, and after, the end of the reception and part of our dance. He captured all the family and friend shots we needed, and we were left with plenty of time for creative, artistic, and romantic shots as well. I didn't realize how lovely they would be until I saw them, Mark really has a great eye for a beautiful shot, and we will treasure the photos. We have some slightly more traditional "wedding portrait" photos, and many creative photographs that are beautiful simply as pieces of art, above and beyond a "wedding photo."
    I loved that the photos do not look staged, fake, or cliché - he created lovely images that capture the beauty of our location and the excitement and romance of the wedding day.
    Marks patience, professionalism, skill, and artistic eye were all deeply appreciated. Everyone who has seen the wedding album loves the photos. His photography is highly recommended and I would certainly hire him again. I could not have asked for a better photographer.

    Simply Amazing! Mark has a true gift for photography. His work is breathtaking! He is professional, kind, punctual and most importantly (to me) he made everyone feel comfortable, which reflected in his work. The moments he captured will be treasured forever.

    Mark was amazing to work with. He was professional and relatable. He made us and our guests feel so comfortable. Our photos came out beautifully and he had them ready for us so quickly....less than a week. We also used his Photo Booth run by his wife and grandson. Our guests had a blast with this and it was so reasonable. Mark Wayne Photography is amazing!

    Our experience with Mark Wayne has been very pleasant from the very start to finish. He did such an amazing job capturing the moments of our special day and for that we are so grateful. He was very easy to work with and I love how fun it was to have him take our pictures. He also had his adorable grandson with him who is studying photography and he took an additional 75 pictures which are all great!!! I would definitely recommend Mark to anyone I know! He will not disappoint and plus we had the Filipino connection so that was a plus for me! :)

    Mark was the first and only photographer we talked with to take pictures at our destination wedding in Santa Fe, NM. From the initial phone conversation and continuing through emails, Mark helped us make all of the right decisions up front. We felt like we knew him when we actually met him the day of our wedding. He is a very gifted photographer, and has an incredible way of connecting with people. He put us at ease right away, and from that moment on, we had so much fun! Our wedding was outside at sunset on the deck of my sister's home, overlooking the mountains and high desert plains. It was breezy at times, and we were concerned about our hair looking messy. Mark reassured us that it would really work fine. He was right--windblown hair can look very good! His artistic talents and technical skills certainly showed in the photos and video. Everything felt natural, and the emotion and sentiment of the day came through. Thank you, Mark, for giving us lasting memories of our magical day!

    We had Mark for our engagement and wedding photography. He is so professional and extremely easy to work with. He brings a different vision to your pictures than most other photographers and you get a bunch of different perspectives.
    He has done nothing but help us with our whole wedding process. He made the night so much easier on my husband and I by being there on time and being in constant contact.
    I believe he was well worth what we paid, and I feel we may have even underpaid for his services. He provided so much more than I could have every hoped for!

    Mark Wayne is a true professional. Throughout the entire process he was prompt and professional. He listened to what my wife and I wanted for our wedding but also offered creative ideas. Given that our wedding was outdoors at dusk and our goal was to capture as many photos with our family members before the mountains disappeared into darkness, we challenged his talent. He delivered by working quickly but at the same time made it enjoyable and stress free by interacting and joking with our guests. While reviewing our photos, we found that he captured tons of candid moments before and during the ceremony and during the reception. We were pleased with every aspect of our experience with Mark. He is a kind, caring, and talented photographer that delivers great work at a great value.

    I knew exactly what I wanted from a wedding photographer; the perfect photos taken by an experienced fun loving photographer. It was very important to me to obtain the rights to my photos as well. I was really worried that I would never be able to find all that for a reasonable price! A friend of mine recommended I look at MarkWaynePhotography.com, I jumped on the internet! I was delighted but heartbroken, because I thought there was no way I would be able to afford this! Once I finally looked over all of the beautiful images on his site, I decided to call and take a chance! Just talking to him over the phone filled me with confidence that Mark Wayne was "the one". He was everything I wanted and he was able to do it all for a great value!
    When my Big Day finally arrived I was so happy that I had chosen Mark. He found the most amazing spots to take pictures. He captured everything I could have hoped for. I absolutely love my wedding photos! If you are getting married -- call Mark Wayne Photography first -- you will be glad you did!!!

    When looking for wedding day photographers, my husband and I both agreed that pictures are one of the only memories you have of your wedding day, so choosing a quality photographer is key. We went to about 5 or 6 other photographers before choosing Mark Wayne Photography. I went to check out Mark Wayne after a recommendation from an old high school friend. I first met with Mark, who is probably one of the nicest people you will meet. We sat and spoke for almost 2 hours. When I left I had a great feeling about it, so I told the hubby and we went back a week later to book. Our engagement shoot with Mark was great. He just made us feel so comfortable and it was a lot of fun. Those shots of course came out perfect.
    Fast forward to our big day.

    My wedding was October 20th 2012, besides the fact that Mark Wayne made my wedding day photography absolutely fantastic and worry free, I decided to hold off on a review until I received my proofs & printed items. All that I, my husband, and friends can say is WOW !!! His work is absolutely incredible, I loved my proofs and I think it’s fantastic that he includes DVDs that has all your photos edited and touched up, with a release for 100% rights to your pictures, which was a MAJOR thing we wanted and not everyone provides (without a BIG additional fee). Mark had us laughing and captured beautiful moments that I didn’t even remember. He was by far my favorite vendor to work with, he understood everything I wanted and got it done, which is important cause your day goes by so fast, and in the end all you'll have are the pictures...and of course the memories. I would not waste precious time meeting with multiple vendors, Mark Wayne Photography is by far the BEST !!!

    My wedding using Mark Wayne was amazing. We were amazed at not only the posed family portrait type photos at the altar, family pictures, etc, but also the very creative, fun, professional, candid shots at the reception and before the wedding. The photos told our story of the entire day of excitement, fun and hope .
    My husband and I have received countless comments on how fantastic Mark's photography is. Even during our wedding, our guests had commented on how he seemed to be everywhere at once, taking photos we never even knew he took.
    Indeed Mark works very hard to capture those candid moments and in the most unobtrusive way. This is evident in the way my friends have responded to the photos. They've exclaimed, "I didn't even know that he was there! When did he take this??"
    My husband and I are fast approaching our first wedding anniversary, and pulling out Mark's photos have allowed us to relive those moments, down to the details like the food that was served and the handcrafted decor that I worked very hard to create. I can still hear the music and laughter captured in some of these scenes.
    I highly recommend Mark Wayne Photography. We were on a tight wedding budget but were able to find something that fit our price range, and the quality of the photographic content you get is definitely worth more than you pay, if not priceless.
