Amazing photographer
Mark was so friendly and professional before and during our wedding day. There was nothing that was too much trouble. He let us enjoy our day while getting so many beautiful photos. All our guests commented on how lovely he was.

Incredible!
Mark was amazing, he was easy to contact throughout our planning. On the day he was incredible, made us feel calm and relaxed! We wanted candid shots as we're both shy in front of the camera and that's exactly what we got, you wouldn't have even known he was taking photos half the time! Thank you so much!

The best day of our lives!
Mark was absolutely brilliant from the get go. His welcoming and calming personality made the whole day flow by effortlessly. Within 24 hours he provided up with sneak peeks of our day and filled our first day of marriage with tears and had us reminiscing. Mark went above & beyond his duties to capture the best moments and has helped capture memories to last a life time.

A Dream Photographer!
We picked Mark a year before our wedding because my now Husband (who is an Art Director) loved his style the most and we also wanted someone who would be relaxed as neither of us enjoy having photos taken haha! Mark is so down to earth and lovely and it was truly a pleasure to have him with us on our wedding day! He worked soo well with our Videographer who he made sure to speak to before the day just as a quick get to know and to figure out their plans and how to work best together which I thought was amazing! He's very professional but we also definitely all had a laugh and enjoyed the day together, we would have been more than happy for Mark to join in the wedding as a guest once he was finished haha! He sent us tonnes of sneak peeks the next evening which was amazing! And it didn't even take long to get the completed collection either. Would highly recommend if you want someone professional, relaxed, easy to get along with as well as open, honest and prompt with his work! P.s. it would only let me upload one photo because the quality/size of them is too high!!

It was like something out of a fairytale
Mark was absolutely incredible at capturing our day. From the detail shots, bride & groom prep, to the documentary of the day. Every guest said how brilliantly he moves around to get certain shots, his coordination with the bride, groom and wedding party was second to none. The photographs blew us all away, and that was just the preview! There’s nobody else we could have imagined to spend the day with us, having a laugh, getting us ready, and talking us through precious moments. We will definitely be keeping his number in our pockets for future events, and recommending him to everyone we know. Thank you Mark, from the bottom of our hearts. Mr & Mrs Pearson ❤️

Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer!
Mark was our photographer in our wedding back in May. Mark was so friendly and helpful right from the beginning. He took the time to come and meet us and view our venue before the wedding which was lovely. Communication was great in the lead up to our wedding. On the day of our wedding Mark was such a calm and friendly presence, honestly felt like we had known him for years! He got on amazingly with our videographer who he had never met before. All of our guests commented on how brilliant Mark was and how comfortable he made them feel in front of the camera. I felt the exact same way. We received our sneak peeks soon after the wedding which was amazing being able to see the pictures so quickly, and we were so so happy with them. We now have our full gallery back and genuinely couldn’t be happier with them. I highly recommend Mark as a wedding photographer, he is truly talented and so good at what he does. Thank you so much Mark for being a part of our special day x

Simply stunning photographs
Mark was incredible from start to finish! From our first meeting, to getting to meet in person before the wedding and doing a walk around the venue, to his work on the day itself, he was absolutely brilliant. Somehow he managed to be everywhere at once, capturing the moments we would have completely missed, but also seamlessly blended into the day. When we got our photos it was truly wonderful to see the day through his lens and to relive it all- the joy, the laughter, the tears. He caught the day exactly as it happened. The colours in his shots are magnificent, every shot is a work of art. He is truly so talented and we cannot thank him enough.

Incredible photographer - couldn’t ask for a better
We hired Mark to photograph our wedding in June 2023. We really wanted relaxed, informal photos that captured the emotion of the day, without having to spend hours posing for group shots. Mark couldn’t have delivered on that brief any more. From start to finish, Mark was nothing short of perfection. He made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera, and allowed us to just bask in the moment and chat with our guests, whilst still getting gorgeous shots. Mark managed to capture our personalities and our story perfectly, nothing felt forced or stiff, and he really managed to achieve the informal documentary style that we wanted. One of the highlights of our whole day was walking around derby city centre, drinks in hand, capturing these special memories so effortlessly. Mark made the whole process so enjoyable and easy, which was no easy feat on one of the hottest days of the year! From our first consultation a few weeks before the wedding, Mark listened to everything we wanted, learned about us as a couple and truly delivered an outstanding wedding album that we couldn’t be more grateful for. My only regret is not hiring him for our evening too!! Thank you so much Mark for working so hard on our special day and capturing what it was really like to be there. We are so lucky to have such beautiful photos to look back on and cherish forever.

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

My most memorable wedding took place at the beautiful Eaves Hall in Clitheroe, Lancashire. The place was stunning, the bride and groom were amazing and the guests made you feel part of the wedding party. The amazing staff at Eaves Hall put on a real show. The wedding in question can be seen within the Real Weddings section of my profile so go check it out!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Natural, Relaxed, Candid, Friendly, Documentary

What about your business are you most proud of?

My proudest moment was when I was able to officailly turn professional & having some of the best clients any business could ask for.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Stay Relaxed. Planning an wedding can become stressful, if you let it. Don't get caught up on every detail, worrying if everything will work out right. You have to take a step back and enjoy yourselves and cherish this moment in your lives. Wedding Venues, Vendors & Suppliers are all their to help & ease the stress of planning your big day so both of you just enjoy the moment :)

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

I've noticed in recent years that the traditional wedding cake is slowly disappearing with more variety than ever before. The most quirky cake I have seen was a Colin the Caterpillar with a family of mini Colins.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

1. Pre-Consultation Call - after recieving your initial email once you have enquired, and looked over my email in reply, we will set up (whenever suits you best) a chat and get to know each other a little, speak about minor details, answer any questions you have and what each of us expect, a nice relaxed friendly call. 2. Video Chat/Face to Face - here we get down to business, going over the details regarding your big, making sure we are on the same page so to speak & answering any further questions. 3. Venue Tour - Whether it's weeks in advance or the night before your wedding day, I like to get together and do a run through of your wedding day with you at the venue. This allows me to get accustomed to the place, making my day a little bit easier as knowing where and when parts of your day take place, means I won't be missing any special moments. This may also be first time we meet in person, so being able to have a friendly chat with you helps relax us all ready for your day. 4. The Wedding Day - dependant upon whether you've selected Bronze, Silver or Gold, I will generally meet you both on my arrival & say hello to everyone and then I'll jump straight in & start capturing your wonderful day. 5. Once the Wedding is complete, I'll then begin post processing (the editing part) to get all of your pictures organised and looking fantastic. You'll recieve a sneak peek gallery with approx 30 images after 24-48 hours.I'll upload them to your own personal Gallery and sent you an invite to viewing them. I will check with you both that you are happy with the pictures & make any altercation you may wish to make sure you are both pleased with your images. Final Images take around 4-6 weeks off-peak (Oct-March) & 8-10 weeks peak season (April-Sept) which then get uploaded to your gallery. Once you've looked through all of your images, you'll need to select your favourite 20 for your keepsake box.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

This one would have to be a couple only shot, outside in front of the venue, it's intimate, loving and helps showcase the stunning location your chose to have your special day. ( Close 2nd - you have to capture the father of the bride, seeing there daughter for the first time in their wedding dress )

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

The most original photo I was asked to capture was a Saber Arch in which the bride and groom pass under an honorary arch of sabers, typically when exiting the building in which the wedding ceremony took place.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Staying Calm! We do live in the UK after all, so it just becomes an added feature to your wedding day.

Describe how you got into photography.

Being an avid amateur photographer for over 10 years, when life gave me an unexpected twist, I decided it was the time to take my passion to the next level. Joining the Master Photographers Association allowed me to adapt to the world of wedding photography, with insights and mentoring from some of the best photographers in the country, leading to today, running my own business!
