What can we say about Mark, other than we love him and think he's the best guy ever!

Mark is so amazing, so professional, and so incredibly talented. The coolest guy we've ever known.

We first came across Mark when we booked our wedding at Oran Mor and noticed one of his pictures being used on their brochure. The picture was beautiful, so vibrant and so colourful and we were instantly drawn to it. We went on Mark's website and enquired about his availability and fortunately for us, he was available and happy to have a call to chat about what we were looking for.

Mark is so kind, so friendly and so easy to talk to. He really listens and does everything he can to give you what you ask for. He is also so knowledgeable and is always so kind and helpful with his advice.

Due to COVID, we never actually got to meet Mark in person until a few weeks before the wedding but when we did, it was as if we'd known him forever. We met Mark in a local park for a pre-wedding photoshoot in order to get to know one another and get used to having our picture taken. It was such an amazing experience. We were both a little bit apprehensive beforehand, never having had a professional photoshoot before but Mark was so chilled and so engaging that we were sad when it ended.

On the day of the wedding, Mark was amazing, put us both at ease and made the whole process relaxed and fun. Some of the greatest memories from our wedding were when we were alone with Mark and our videographers getting pictures in the botanic gardens. It felt like you were just hanging out with your mates and everyone was buzzing.

During the ceremony and the wedding reception, you hardly noticed Mark as he blends into the day so naturally. In between, Mark kept us on track and was a much-appreciated source of support and guidance. The pictures captured of our day are incredible and left us speechless. They are everything we could have ever hoped for and more. They are so clear, so beautiful and so professional. The images Mark has produced will be treasured forever. We can't stop looking at them!

Mark, thank you so much again for everything! You made everything so perfect and we hope we'll see you again soon because every second spent with you is an absolute pleasure!

We're thinking of maybe getting divorced and remarried again, just so we can do it all again and have an excuse to hang out with you all some more! Big big love to you always.

We booked Mark during the pandemic when we were unable to meet in person but even in our initial meeting over Zoom we knew we'd found a personality we would enjoy working with in the lead up to the wedding and on the day itself. Mark's photos were exactly what we were looking for, capturing all the little moments and emotions of the day from start to finish in beautiful colour and composition.

Neither of us particularly like having our photo taken but Mark put us completely at ease on our pre-wedding shoot so much so that we ended up really enjoying it and came away with some fantastic images.

This was the same on the wedding day where nothing was too much trouble and he felt like one of the guests with his friendly, funny and laid back approach. He accommodated all the shots we knew we wanted to capture before the day but really shone in all the other 'unposed' shots, capturing moments in the ceremony, the speeches and of course the dancing in the evening.

We couldn't be happier with the images we have received from our wedding day and we have been enjoying reliving the day all over again as we look through the album. Friends and family are delighted with all the shots too and they will be cherished for many years to come!

Despite some uncertainty brought by a global pandemic and a postponed wedding date we had a fantastic experience from initial enquiry through to prompt delivery of our images after the day and we would wholeheartedly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a photographer for their wedding.

Thanks again Mark and all the best!

We feel we’re shortchanging Mark if we only review his photography. He was our usher, bridesmaid, counsellor and wedding organiser all in one as well. The man was nothing short of incredible when he was the photographer at our wedding at the end of June 2019. From the initial consultations to the very last photograph he took, he was the epitome of professionalism, talent and bloomin’ great fun. Our engagement shoot was such a laugh and the photographs he took were beautiful, really capturing us and our love. Those were worth his fee alone!!

On our wedding day itself, Mark arrived early, scouted out all the best areas for photos and then proceeded to go above and beyond in any way he could. Both of us said that we genuinely have no idea what we would have done had Mark not been there. He put us at ease, made us laugh constantly and his energy made the day one to remember. All of the guests commented on how amazing he was and not one person felt like they were being photographed…he was like a stealthy photo ninja!

The wedding photographs themselves are truly incredible, perfectly capturing the magic of the day for us to relive over and over again. The man is seriously talented when it comes to photography and we would highly recommend him to absolutely everyone! When we think back to our wedding day in many years to come, the love, laughs and kindness that Mark showed us will be something that comes to mind. From the bottom of our hearts mate, thank you so much. All our love, Lucy & John x
