People are talking!
We had our wedding in Chatham on January 30th 2026 and it was phenomenal. Mark was so amazing to work with, easygoing and understanding during the entire process. Even during moments that were turning chaotic between children and the timeline he was calm and reassured us every step of way while still capturing the best shots. His creative mind and talent in seeing what others can’t was so great to experience. I can’t recommend his photography enough!

The photos are absolutely amazing - each photo captures our wedding day perfectly and brings back the emotions. Mark went above and beyond in every way, and we are so grateful for the exceptional job Mark did. Highly recommend!

Mark was an amazingly detailed and focused photographer for our wedding this September 2025. He was so meticulous with helping to craft the timeline to ensure we were able to calmly enjoy the day all the while capturing as many special moments as possible. All the photo editing and polishing of photos he did was outstanding. Mark is simply very pleasant, funny and a joy to be around, we felt so comfortable with him and we trusted him completely. Many many thanks, we highly recommend Mark!
