Photographer capturing unforgettable moments

Hi, I’m Mark

Of all the things I love in this life, spending an afternoon strolling along the coast with my wife and daughter are the moments I treasure. Exploring that little bit further and finding those hidden coves with untouched sand of a mid-summers evening, watching my daughter run around with endless energy.

Since I bought my ever first DSLR camera, my interest has always been in photography. Persuading my best friend to do a photoshoot in the gardens of a country house, capturing my daughter discover bluebell fields for the first time and pick flowers, and watching my wife being the most amazing mother.

I’ve taken photos and posted them on social media since Instagram was barely out of infancy, and people would always comment on what lovely photos they were! And so I took a hobby I loved and shared it with so many beautiful couples, families and newborns, that I never looked back!

Work fills a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.

Book me

Where are you based and where do you cover?

I am based in Plymouth, United Kingdom, and cover Devon and Cornwall. I am also available worldwide for Destination Weddings.

How would you describe your shooting style?

I want you to feel as comfortable as you can be so that I am able to capture truly candid moments. I know when to step in, and when to take hold back, so you can take everything in and feel the magic of the day. I want your photos to be your most true selves.

What time of day do i prefer to shoot?

Golden hour is by far the most magical time of day to shoot photos. An hour before and after sunrise/sunset. The sky is lit with a beautiful golden color and sometimes; if you’re lucky, gorgeous tones of pink. This time of day makes for perfectly even light for taking photos.

How will i receive my photos?

I have selected an online gallery platform called Pixieset, which allows me to curate a beautifully designed gallery of your photos where you are able to download, favourite, and share photos with your family and friends.

Do you charge for travel?

Within the South West of the United Kingdom I do not charge for travel, however, further afield I may need to charge for overnight accommodation.

How many images do you edit and how many do we receive?

Every image you receive will be edited. This part of the process is what makes my style of work look the way it does. There is no set limit on how many images I will edit. I don’t hold back on the magic! If it’s in the final edit you can be sure its worth having

Do you offer any other services?

For sure! Beautiful newborn sessions, adventurous family sessions, cinematic wedding photography, and lifestyle/branding shoots.

Can we meet you?

Absolutely! I want you to be sure I am the right fit for you. Being comfortable around your photographer is huge, and I can promise you I am the most down to earth and incredibly easy person to get along with.

Are you insured?

Yes, i am fully insured.

Experience

My promise to you

My aim is to take photos which are the essence of you and your family and capture the moments you didn’t even think were moments to remember. Posed shots are wonderful, but they are exactly that – shots that are deliberate. I will help share my ideas and guide you, which will provide you with unforgettable memories of laughter, love, intimacy, and everything in between.

I want you to enjoy yourselves and value our time so that this experience is unforgettable in the best way possible. From the very first few weeks of your newborn child, family fun running through a beautiful field at sunset, the moment you ask your significant other to marry you, and the big day itself!

Your story, your love.
