We had a pre-appointment to discuss our day, it was great, we saw work he did in past, where told what he can do and planned the day. On our big day he was focused on us, followed our wishes from pre-appointment, in the venue he just blended in and could give us some great memories this way. A great experience! More...

Mark did the photos and video for my drag queen and superheroes party in December 2021.
I asked for a mix of formal and relaxed photos and that is exactly what he delivered.
Great bloke, really personable and it was a pleasure working with him. Thanks Mark.

I found Mark to be efficient in his initial response to my request for a photographer, Accommodating when the date for our photo shoot was moved by me to a different date , and prompt, arriving for the shoot on time (despite a lengthy journey), He dealt with my family group 10adults , 6 children and three dogs with a smile putting us at ease,
his pricing does not seem to be excessive , and i would deal with mark again if the occasion arose

Mark was a 'real find'! We got a professional and friendly service for a very good price, and Mark kept in touch throughout to deal with requests and questions. He covered everything (and everybody) we wanted to get a lovely set of photos of our Ruby wedding. We got all we hoped for in our photos - formal/informal, couples/groups - big thank you. More...

Ryan Patterson
General Photography
Mark was a fantastic fellow to work with, friendly, easygoing andhugely accommodative of the hectic nature of the event. Mark had no issue going above and beyond to give us the extra time to get the right shots after the contracted time had already expired-a lovely touch that I’m much appreciative of. It goes without saying but the shots were of great quality, perfectly capturing the occasion for posterity. My thanks to Mark and recommendation to anyone else in the market. Best, Ryan. More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
There is no big secret, its about getting your composition right, your lighting and focus. As well as, if you have models making them at ease to make a far better shot. Gone are the days really of setting up a shot, set your people up and get them to relax the camera does the rest. For commercial shots its about showing as clearly and concisely what it is your trying to put across, get as many angles as you can, and again just make it clear.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
I would always get them to explain what they want, although every photographer has their own style, it has to fit with the clients wishes. I would not unless asked to tell the client what they must and mustn't do it is a case of advising and making sure they get the most out of their shoot.
What do you love most about your job?
I love meeting different people with ideas that I can incorporate into my work style and while the weather is good try and get as many shoots done outside, after all it beats the usual suspect backdrops.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I started to run my own business because I felt it was time to put my own signature on the work I do, it is hard working for yourself but the rewards are great, I still get that buzz of excitement today about a booking as I did when I started.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am easy going with a sense of humor, some one that can help you relax in order to get the best pictures possible. I will advise you but most importantly its about what you want and where I can I will do this. My aim is to leave satisfied customers who have enjoyed their time and have some great professional photo's to show for it.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
For the commercial side of mt business I can work remotely online, this entails the customer shipping the items to me and giving me a brief of what they want, I can whilst taking the shots work with the client online, sharing a video link, or just brief me and I will always en devour to give you what you want from your instructions. All items will be returned to the customer as soon as the shoot is over and you the client are satisfied.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Where possible we still try to keep to the 2 metre rule, we ask that only the people having there photo's done are present at a shoot, unless minors are involved then we ask that they be supervised accordingly. W try to keep to all current regulations but with the easing of these we will work with you and make sure it is a safe successful shoot.
