Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Hey, there I'm Marcus great to virtually meet you! My nine-to-five job is as a Project Manager for a software company. Outside of my day job I try to take these picture things with this time-freezing device that some call a "camera". I'm just teasing please don't click away, I know how to use a camera! I bought my first camera in college and after about a year of people pushing me to pursue photography as more than a hobby, I finally listened. One day I came home freshly equipped with a new camera, two lenses, and a new laptop. Yes, in other words, I invested heavily in an art form I knew very little about. I had zero experience and never took a class, but I had a newfound burning passion for taking photos. I spent countless nights awake studying, and teaching myself as much as I could about photography. Whether it was camera function, editing, marketing, shooting techniques, or researching concept ideas, I loved each minute of it! It is definitely fair to say I graduated from YouTube Academy ha ha! Six years later, still fueled by a passion for photography here I am sitting on my computer talking to you! Over the years I have had my share of hard lessons and low points, however, those get quickly forgotten each time I get to work with a new person, couple, or family. If you want to have your photo taken by a self-taught, hard-working, humble, and transparent individual then I think I fit the bill. I would have added funny to the list, but I have found that's subjective clearly or i'd be on Netflix right? Be sure to visit my website to view my full portfolio and book your session today!

It was a delight working with Marcus, and I couldn't be happier with the finished product. He captured our family reunion with kids of all ages and multiple families coming together beautifully. He was professional throughout and set a calm and fun atmosphere. 100% recommend!

Marcus takes amazing engagement photos. He knew the area I wanted to propose and made some helpful suggestions. And he was a great sport about withstanding a really cold morning to capture the moment outside. I can’t say enough good things about him.

Details: Proposal photoshoot • Candid • Traditional posed • Natural or environmental • Outdoors • One location • Online or digital proofs and prints • My home, venue, etc.

Victor! Thank you so much for this glowing review! I am stoked that I got to witness and capture such a unique proposal. Never did I think photography would allow me to hang with South African Penguins! I wish you both nothing but the best and cannot wait to get to work on your final gallery! Vanessa is a lucky woman and your love for her really does shine through the images!

Marcus was an absolute pleasure to work with! He is very detailed oriented and helped me formulate a timeline for day of our wedding as I didn’t know where to start! He made me feel comfortable from our first call and I knew right away I wanted to work with him. Our pictures are FLAWLESS! & I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Details: Wedding • 50 - 99 guests • Indoors • Digital or online download

Marcus was everything we hoped for in a photographer and more! He is extremely responsive and seemed just as excited for our session as we were! He was absolutely wonderful to work with and the photos are amazing! We had to travel 2+ hours to our desired shoot location for graduation pictures and ended up having to reschedule due to a rainstorm. Marcus was ahead of the game with planning and we were able to meet the very next day, which was awesome! One thing that really meant a lot to us was that Marcus was able to get us a few pictures to us ahead of time to have on graduation day! Marcus is a wonderful photographer with an amazing spirit and we’re so thankful to have found him!! It was so fun!

Details: Graduation portrait • Candid (captured in the moment) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.

Kayla, Thank you for much for your kind words! Graduation is such a big moment, and being selected for this job is such an honor. Mother Nature tried to hold us back but that didn’t stop us! You both were such a joy to work with and brought such a great energy to our session! I cannot wait to get you the remaining photos for your gallery (hopefully by the end of this week!). If you ever need a photographer you know where to find me! Thanks again for this opportunity!
