OMGGGGGG 🥹😍😍😍😍I’m gonna tell you guys right now….if you guys haven’t thought about or look at his profile and wondered if you should book him my answer to you if yes, please do it!!!!! My family and friends enjoyed the photos and also enjoy the wedding.! Everything that I talked to him about, everything that I wanted, HE DELIVERED!! Mark was so professional, and even when things were hectic, he was able to adjust and continue to be there for me! I’m so grateful that I chose him as my wedding photographer because he did an awesome job! This is way overdue, but I just wanted to take the time out and really thank him for everything that he’s done. I can’t even put into words how much time he invested on making sure that he captured EVERY single thing during the wedding! Looking over my photos, I’m just in awe of how beautiful each picture turned out🥰🥰🥰! Again, I would recommend him to anybody! I had about five or 10 people asked me about his contact so I hope they reach out and book him because he is awesome!!!!

Marc was FANTASTIC!! He took a last minute request for an elopement and was there early and ready to go. He gave great advice on what poses we should do. He was even our witness!! The photos themselves were magical and were edited beautifully!!! You pay for what you get! I would recommend Marc for not even just an elopement but a full blown wedding!! Always a bonus when they are kind and professional and he was that and more. My husband had a great time chatting with him. Thank you Marc!!

Mark was a joy to work with for our wedding. He was responsive from the moment we reached out via thumbtack. Scheduling with him was a breeze. On the day of our wedding, he was punctual and professional. We sent him a shot list in advance, and he made sure to capture all our important moments. He helped make sure our first look photos were perfect. He had the perfect balance of being professional and knowledgeable about how to stage photos, while also being laid back and easy going. Our families both loved his kind and laid back personality and it made the whole experience easy and fun! His wife edits the photos, and when we got them back they were beautiful! We had hundreds! The two of them simply did a fantastic job. He returned the photos within a few weeks, ahead of when we expected them. Overall I would highly highly recommend Mark for your next event. We will certainly look to book him for any other events we need photographer services for.

Used Marc for our wedding in October, got pictures back quickly and all of our family and friends loved them! Marc was super friendly throughout the whole wedding, making sure we got pictures with each of our loved ones and ran us quickly through poses to make sure we got a variety of newlywed pics. Would book him again!

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Practice makes perfect! That's not true. Practice makes better. I am always seeking to learn more and become better at what I do. I believe that working on projects is some of the best training. I have filmed dozens music videos, multiple weddings, graduation ceremonies, memorial services, interview style videos etc..... I don't know it all and never will, but I will do my best to use what I know to give you an excellent final product.
