Mark Requena Photography

Mark Requena Photography specialises in wedding photography for couples who want authentic, well-composed images that tell the story of their day. Based in Chatham and working throughout Chatham-Kent and beyond, Mark brings over 15 years of wedding experience and a photographer’s eye for clean composition, natural light and emotional detail. Why choose Mark? His approach is both personal and professional. He plans each wedding carefully—putting together a comfortable timeline, meeting in person to discuss priorities and family group shots, and guiding couples through portraits with natural, relaxed posing so nothing looks stiff. Whether it’s the quiet morning details, the vows and first kiss, or the spontaneous laughter at the reception, Mark looks for genuine moments and composes them into a lasting visual story. Stylistically Mark blends candid documentary moments with beautiful posed portraits. He values composition and light, using techniques such as backlighting for romantic first-dance images and carefully composed night shots to add drama and atmosphere. Engagement sessions are offered as a natural complement to wedding coverage—an easy, enjoyable way to get comfortable in front of the camera and build images that reflect your connection. Post-production is a strength: with 25+ years of professional photo-editing experience, Mark delivers bright, clean, expertly finished images. On request he provides subtle airbrushing (with permission) to remove blemishes and ensure portraits look polished while remaining natural. The experience of working with Mark is calm, friendly and organised. He arrives prepared with the right lenses and lighting, moves efficiently through group shots to keep the day relaxed, and remains unobtrusive to capture candid reactions. Local knowledge of Chatham and nearby venues helps him find beautiful locations for portraits that suit your wedding day.
