People are talking!
We hired Mark in Chatham to photograph our wedding and he was amazing throughout the entire process. Easy to talk to, fast at communicating but overall very nice & understanding. We received our photos in two weeks! I knew they would be great but they still blew my mind! Not only are the family & our posed photos amazing, I loved all the candid shots he took! Pricing is great & my package included all of my wedding photos in colour AND black and white, which is awesome! He took the time to touch up & make sure you got all the best photos he took. You won't be disappointed with Mark as your wedding photographer - highly recommend. Thank you again Mark.

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 photographs. His creative mind and talent in seeing what others can’t was so great to experience. I can’t recommend his wedding photography enough!!
