Linda
Mark was an excellent photographer at our wedding. He stayed with us throughout the day and was professional, friendly, and fully engaged with us, our families, and other guests. He captured stunning photos that we will treasure forever. Mark edited all our photos promptly, and we were extremely pleased with the final results. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented photographer for their special day. More...

Mark Staniland came to our rescue on relatively short notice to shoot for our wedding. And from the start, he showed a surprising amount of initiative and professionalism, care, and great communication- to the extent of even having a form for us to fill which even helped us to better create and define the vision that we had of our wedding.
He listened to our vision and added valuable suggestions that we hadn't even considered drawing from his experiences which was priceless with it being our first time (and hopefully the last lol!).
On the big day, he balanced directing and blending into the background perfectly, capturing intimate moments effortlessly.
Mark's warmth and skill made us feel at ease. The final collection exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Mark, for beautifully capturing our special day!

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Once you've got the correct technical knowledge and equipment, it's about ensuring that guests are relaxed enough around the camera to capture their most intimate moments. The photographer helps facilitate the moments that should and would be happening anyway, sometimes people just need a helping hand!
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
There is a pre-planning consultation with an online survey which asks a few questions including: style of the wedding, any particular shots from my portfolio that they want me to try to replicate for them, and any family dynamics I need to be aware of.
What do you love most about your job?
Being able to give clients phenomenal photos that they truly love. It's very rewarding.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I've done photography as a hobby at the weekends for years, and then in my 9-5 role too. It made sense to nurture this as a separate business.
Why should our clients choose you?
They should see my commitment to quality in my portfolio.
I also focus on a faster turnaround than the average photographer - I recognise that clients want at least a few photos the next day for social media, so I ensure that I deliver the highlights the day after the ceremony (up to 10 edited photos, cropped for instagram/socials) and deliver the full gallery within two weeks.
