Mark did a wonderful job photographing our wedding this past August. His years of experience gave him tremendous perspective as he captured our event, and gave great focus on ensuring we had plenty of memories of our families and guests. I highly recommend Mark for any event you need photographed!

My experience with Mark was outstanding. Our family of 16 was gathered (a once every 5 years event) for a family portrait. Unfortunately, the weather was not cooperating, and rain showers were predicted for our scheduled outdoor photo. Mark was so helpful and cooperative in changing the appointment time, to avoid the rain. As it turned out, the rain fell during the photos, but they turned out beautiful! Mark is a talented photographer and I would recommend him highly.

Mark was fantastic at my sister's wedding, so I asked him to photograph mine this past year. We also decided to do a engagement shoot in the fall so we would have pictures to send out for wedding announcements. The engagement shoot was by a lake, with our dog, and Mark couldn't have been more professional and relaxed. He made us feel comfortable but also gave the occasional bark to make sure our pup was paying attention! The photos came out just as we wanted. They captured the look I had wanted. Mark was great during the wedding, and easy to talk to beforehand about what I expected from him. He is a photographer that captures the moments without you even knowing that he is there. We have looked back at our photos, loving the way he captured the special moments, and those certain looks that are unforgettable. He took a photo of every single person at the wedding and we are so glad we hired him for both the engagement shoot and the wedding. He has given us such a special gift to have captured the wedding in the perfect way. It was a pleasure working with Mark, and we are now ordering prints, that are also just as fabulous. Hire Mark for your wedding or special event, you won't regret it!
