Mark’s work is driven by a simple philosophy: quality over quantity.

Mark’s documentary-style approach allows him to capture the natural, unscripted moments that make each wedding unique. He blends seamlessly into the background so couples and guests can enjoy the day without feeling posed or interrupted. This calm, unobtrusive presence helps him find the candid smiles, stolen glances and joyful interactions that become your most treasured photographs. From the first conversation, Mark prioritises communication and collaboration.

Whether you’re planning a civil ceremony in West London, a countryside celebration in Surrey, or an overseas blessing, Mark is happy to create bespoke coverage that reflects your needs and style. What sets Mark apart is his commitment to under-promising and over-delivering. He combines meticulous preparation with a warm, approachable manner that puts even camera-shy couples at ease.
