Mark Stinchon Photography Full Description
I am a Candid, Documentary Style wedding photographer with a dramatic twist. I think its important that you enjoy your wedding day and be with your wedding guests as much as you can. This is why i normally split your couple portraits into two sessions. Depending on your wedding day timings, I would normally have a portrait session in the afternoon using natural light and then we will do another session in the evening where we can get a bit more creative with the lighting. This adds a lot of difference to your wedding photos and you will get a lot more WOW Shots. We will also take advantage of how you wedding venue looks in the evening when as well as sunset and silhouette portraits. One thing to think about, is how you would like to finish your wedding day. So, after you have done your cake cutting and first dance we can then do a little something that is fun like a Champagne Spray shot, Sparkler Exit or maybe some Smoke Shots?? The Champagne Shots are certainly the most fun for both you and your wedding guests. There are lots of different ways we can do this so don't worry if you dont want to get Champagne all over your dress. During our Pre-Wedding Meeting which we have around 4 weeks prior to your wedding we will plan things like the exit shots, Couple Portraits, Twlight Shoots, Group Shots etc. All this will be worked in to your wedding timings and schedule so nothing will be distracting from the day. I will look forward to discussing your wedding day and help you along your wedding planning.

We couldn't have asked for a more talented and dedicated photographer for our special day than Mark.
From the moment we met him, his passion for capturing the essence of weddings shone through, and on the big day, he truly exceeded all our expectations. Mark's professionalism was evident from start to finish. He arrived early to scout the location, ensuring he could capture the best shots and moments. Throughout the day, he seamlessly blended into the background, yet somehow managed to be everywhere at once, capturing every smile, tear, and laughter-filled moment with finesse. Not only is Mark incredibly skilled behind the camera, but he also has a knack for making everyone feel at ease. His calm and friendly demeanor helped to relax us and our guests, resulting in genuine, natural photographs that truly reflect the joy and love of the day. What truly sets Mark apart, though, is his attention to detail and his commitment to ensuring every shot is perfect. From the intimate couple portraits to the candid shots of our guests, each photograph is a work of art, capturing the emotion and atmosphere of our wedding day beautifully. In addition to his talent and professionalism, Mark's dedication to his craft is evident in the final results. The photos he delivered exceeded our wildest dreams, and we are beyond grateful to have these memories to cherish for a lifetime. We cannot recommend Mark highly enough to any couple looking for a wedding photographer. His passion, talent, and commitment to excellence truly set him apart, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had him capture our special day. Thank you, Mark, for giving us memories that we will treasure forever.

Mark made us feel so relaxed and he worked fast...
Mark was awesome from when he arrived for bridal prep right through to our first dance. He even stayed on a little bit longer to get some party photos for us. We aren't ones for having our photos taken and posing but Mark made us both feel so relaxed and it was nice doing our portraits. Mark got some stunning photos which we could only of dreamt of and he certainly excelled himself. We couldn't recommend Mark enough and if we were to get married again (LOL) we would get Mark booked.

Relaxed and chilled wedding
We wanted a completely chilled relaxed and informal wedding. The pictures to reflect the atmosphere and capture all things in the day that would normally go unnoticed. Mark did just this perfectly, capturing so many natural shots together with the few staged ones we asked for. His candid but professional approach was loved by all. His work looks fantastic, His approach I feel is unique an above all he is a very very nice guy. We would very highly recommend Mark Stinchon Photography.

The Best Wedding Photographer we could have wished for!
We had the best day! We were not expecting to have our wedding outside but on the day we decided at the last minute to have an outdoors wedding at the Gazebo. Mark was not expecting this at all but he went with the flow and certainly did not disappoint with the gallery he got. Mark documented our wedding day in a very natural way that is exactly how we remember it. We will be recommending Mark to all our family and friends....
Response from the supplier
That is awesome! Thank you very much for your kind review. It was such a great day and worked perfectly outside with some nice soft light. Congratulations again and wish you all the best...

Alternative Christmas Eve Wedding
We were so happy to have Mark as our wedding photographer and super happy we were able to book him for 24th December 2022. Our wedding was very small and intimate with just close family and a few of our friends. Mark was great from when we first spoke with him and nothing was too much. We would certainly recommend Mark to our friends and family....

Our Christmas Wedding at Kilhey Court...
We decided to have our wedding over the Christmas holidays as it was easy for all our family and friends to make it. Plus, we love Christmas, well who doesn't? We found Mark on Instagram as his work is outstanding we just had to book Mark for our wedding. Thankfully he was available so we arranged a meeting straight away. Mark was so happy to accommodate all our ideas and plans for the day. Mark captured everything perfectly and we can't thank him enough.

We loved our Wedding Day and want to re-live it again!
We had been planning our wedding day for years and finally the day arrived. Mark was one of the first people we booked for our Wedding as the photography was so important to us. We had regular contact throughout and Mark put his thoughts and input into how we could get the best photos but without impacting on us enjoying our wedding day with our family and friends. Mark worked the whole day for us from bride and groom prep photos through to our First Dance. He always had it cameras with him ready to get photos as and when opportunities came. For our couple photos, it was so nice to get away from the wedding party and have some quiet time. Mark just got us to be relaxed and we felt so comfortable with him and in front of the camera. We also had our thoughts on some photos which Mark was very adaptable and he managed to make the photos even better. Working with Mark was the best and so easy.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

There are lots to be honest, but the ones that stand out to me over the last year are; 1. Wedding in a field - After the ceremony the wedding party headed over to their farm to enjoy the day in their field where they had little tipi tents, hay bails, campfire and live music. 2. Jurassic Park Theme - This was an awesome wedding at The Oaks Hotel in Burnley and the couple had full size cardboard cutouts of the characters from Jurassic Park together with people dressed up as dinosaurs.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Reactive - Thoughtful - adventurous - mindful - unobtrusive

What about your business are you most proud of?

What makes me most proud of my business and what I do is the reactions from my wedding couples. Seeing someone really happy with the photo gallery I have produced for them and creating images that they will treasure for their life. I am also extremely proud of the recognition I have achieved over the years for my work both as a Wedding Photographer but also a Landscape Photographer. I still can't believe that I have achieved Silver Awards from The Guild of Professional Photographers and had my works published in various national and local publications.

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

Just keep calm and remember it is your day to enjoy. Also, its your Wedding Day and not a photo-shoot!

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

A Crisp Wall - This was for one of my wedding couples at Crow Wood in Burnley and one of their wedding guests made a Crisp Wall as a surprise to them. Basically it is a wall with the brides favourite flavours of crisps which wedding guests can help themselves to. Its a unique touch that really surprised the bride and groom on the day and also something for them to keep afterwards...

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Once we have made contact and a potential wedding couple have been sent my wedding brochure we would then go through the following; 1. Arrange to meet up for a coffee to discuss things and go through what you are planning for your big day. 2. If we are both happy to move forward we can then sort out the booking and get your wedding date booked. 3. We will keep in touch between the time you book in with me and your wedding day. I have various bits of information which I share with my couples along the way and share ideas. 4. If you have booked and engagement shoot then we will get a date booked in for this. 5. Pre-wedding Meeting. This is normally done around 3-4 weeks before the wedding day and it is now when we will confirm the timings, group shots, locations and contingency plans for adverse weather for example. 6. The day before your wedding - I will give you a quick call to confirm everything. 7. After your wedding day - I will produce a Sneaky Peak Gallery for you within 3 days and publish for you on your own private online gallery. 8. Your full gallery will be ready within 5-6 weeks after your wedding day 9. Once your gallery is published, you can choose your prints and if you want a wedding album we can start designing this. 10. Your Personalised Keepsake USB Drive will be completed and posted out to you.

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

Simply photos are the ones that never get old and these are the must haves for hanging on the wall for example. We definitely need a photo of just the wedding couple looking at each other taking some time out away from the busy day.

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

This is a tough one but I suppose from the last 12 months would have to be from the Jurassic Park Themed wedding I did earlier this year at The Oaks Hotel in Burnley.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

There are various things we can do here. Depending on the venue, there maybe options around the venue where we can get some nice photos out of the rain. Most wedding couples will embrace it and we can use the rain to our advantage and get creative with umbrellas and Off Camera Flash.

Describe how you got into photography.

My photography journey has bee a long a slow development while running two businesses. My passion started with the outdoors and landscape photography, which I still have a massive passion for and love heading up in to the mountains on a wild camp to catch sunset and sunrise. This then developed into doing wedding photography for friends and family which then progressed to where I am today. I have now left the two businesses behind and just do Wedding Photography and Sell my Landscapes. I can honestly say it is one of the best decisions I have made and love meeting up with wedding couples starting planning their big day to finally delivering their full gallery.
