It's cliche to start the same way as the rest of his reviews, but Mark and his team definitely exceeded my expectations with their photography for our #myfilthywedding day. After completing some research, the solid recommendation was to hope to hire Mark. His editorial style, the vibe, the emotions that emanate through his photographs fit the mood I wanted to set and look back on for years to come. I went into this whole wedding process hiring a photography vendor and came out with a friend, the universe works in mysterious ways, thanks Universe!I made a list of wish list family photos for him and he took those and more. Mark made us (Jeremiah & me, meaning me... my then fiance, now husband Jeremiah is a professional model, professional mma, professional everything... ) feel comfortable in front of the camera. He made us laugh, captured him cry, and caught the raw emotion in between.I can never thank you enough Mark for our photos, the story told with each and every photograph will allow us and our guests to relive the memories for decades to come!

Mark and his team were fantastic to work with for our wedding last September! He was professional and thoughtful from beginning to end. Even before the big day, he went out of his way to set up video chats with my wife and me so he could get a sense of our personalities and what we  envisioned the big day to be like. Throughout those conversations, he never hard sold us on his services because he wanted us to feel comfortable making the decision on our own. As far as the wedding itself, him and his crew worked round the clock to capture every memorable event. The group also worked well with our videographer so throughout the day, transitioning from one venue to the other, the mood and feeling was in unison. Even when unexpected things came up, for example, not having a pre made list of all the relevant family/friends for formal photos, or our initial location for post wedding photos, Mark was calm and was able to improvise and make it work. Lastly - in case you're wondering, the pictures came out amazing based on all the preparation and communication put in prior to the wedding. If you're considering a wedding photographer, I strongly recommend Mark.  Thanks again Mark! More...

A picture might say a thousand words, but sometimes it'll leave you speechless. Mark went above and beyond in capturing our special day for us. My husband (who's from the Bay Area) and I got married at SF City Hall last April, and planned to have a super intimate ceremony with just our parents. We live in NYC and were flying back to SF for the courthouse wedding and I was nervous that we were planning everything remotely. Mark reassured us that everything would be great, and he was right. He has amazing energy, is easy to have around, and it shows in his pictures of the day - Mark caught some really special moments that we'll cherish forever. I couldn't be happier with the photos he took at City Hall! He knew the building so well and helped us pick the best area for the lighting at that time of day, so it took a bunch of unknowns and uncertainties out of the equation. Even though there were other people getting married in the building, he made it seem like no one else was around, and allowed my husband and I to be in the moment. It's a day we'll never forget and I'm so glad we chose him to capture it. More...

Mark is awesome! It was such a pleasure working with this creative guy right here. He did our engagement photos recently and we loved every moment of it. We had no idea on what to do or how to pose, but he came prepared with a mood board on his phone to help us with that. We felt so comfortable working with him, it felt like we've known him for a long time.  Just from talking with us through text and 1 phone call, he definitely understood what we were looking  for and understood us as a couple. You can see it in his eyes that he just loves photography and shooting, like a kid in a candy store. His dedication to deliver great results  were seen when we received the photos. Not only did it turn out great, we received them the next day! Yes, the next day, although unsual, we were lucky and really appreciative of all the time he put in on editing. The different angles he uses, understanding lighting in various backgrounds, and his creativity is what sets him apart from everyone else. His background is extensive and because of that you can see it in his work. Thank you SO much mark for creating this memory for us! *will post a snippet of his work soon. More...

Mark is awesome, he normally shoots models so he's obviously the right choice to shoot us because we're like models except we're not models so he had plenty of tips for us to make us feel like models (I still use one of his tips today haha). Having Mark as our wedding photographer was one of the BEST decisions we made for our special day. He was so professional at every meeting and on the day and he also provided a recommended 'timeline' for our day which we found extremely helpful!It seems like he's always thinking ahead. Mark knows what he needs and wants for the perfect shot, which means more time for the bride and groom to spend with their loved ones and enjoy the day! More...

I don't usually write reviews but if there was any time to start, it would be right here. I had just gotten married and one of the best tips my husband and I received when planning our wedding was to make sure we had a good photographer. So it's needless to say that we were very lucky to work with Mark Chua! His vision and eye gave us the opportunity to relive the best day of our lives over and over again. We appreciate his hard work and would give anyone a recommendation to hire Mark to capture a special event. More...

Not only the best photographer I've worked with, but a genuinely great guy.We started out doing engagement photos with Mark in SF. The pictures turned out amazing, we looked like something out of a magazine. After I showed my parents, they said that they wanted more of a "cheerful" background. Mark met up with us to do a sunset photo shoot at the park. We ended up getting 2 sets of pictures. He really captured every angle of our personality.For the wedding, he was able to capture all of our raw emotions. Revisiting those pictures really made me re-live the day. The pictures and memories are all you have so I'm so happy we went with mark. More...

Where do I begin!?  Mark has known me since I was maybe 9 years old (I'm 29 now).  When me and my husband decided to renew our vows for our 10 year wedding anniversary, Mark was the very first person who came to mind.  At first, he was unavailable, but when my other photographer choices fell through the cracks, Mark worked his magic and came to the rescue and officially became our photographer.  He is so passionate in his work and loves what he does, and you can see it reflect in his photos.  By the way he communicates with his clients and works his camera, he's a natural at all of this.  He did our "engagement" shoot in San Francisco, and that was a lot of fun!  The location was perfect and the pictures were so meaningful, romantic, sincere, and the mood of the pictures were perfect.  Throughout the months, Mark kept in touch with us to make sure things were going well with the wedding planning.  When I gave him a list of my requests for the wedding, he kept it all in mind and used them on the day of and he understood what I needed.  On the day of the wedding, Mark was there with his awesome partner John.  While my husband was getting ready with the boys, Mark and John captured those moments.  Then he went to where the bridesmaids were getting ready with me.  Wherever he went, he was always upbeat and had lots of energy, and was enjoying taking all the pictures.  You can tell he was proud and ecstatic.  Throughout the day, he captured all the special moments.  What was awesome was that he got along so well with my videographer, Joel from JKapture Studios!  Usually, photographers and videographers try to stay out of each others' way, with the thought that they would get in each other's films.  However, they both worked so well together a lot of my guests thought they were one team!  It was a lot of fun taking pictures with Mark and John as our photographers, and I can't wait to see the images.  I have no doubt they will turn out more than we dreamed of.  They were very professional, accommodating, fun, and easy to work with.  I wholeheartedly recommend Visuals by Mark and his partners to anyone and everyone who needs a professional photographer for any of their special events!  THANK YOU!!!

When I launched my swimwear business last May I was in desperate need of a photographer on semi-short notice and on a tight budget. I was referred to Mark by a friend, and we hit it off during our first conversation. I knew he was my guy! He understood my ideas and concepts very well and knew exactly what I was looking for. He's SO fun and easy to work with and he makes the process of photoshoot planning way less stressful than it usually is. Mark was great during the shoot as well. We had so many unforeseen delays and problems, but he worked through all of them and produced amazing photos. He's also great with the models. He made my model feel comfortable and worked with her in a way that gave her the most confidence while still having a good time (despite the crazy winds and cold weather). I would highly recommend Mark for any kind of photography work. :) More...
