From the moment he arrived, he was such a calming influence, making sure that we were both happy and relaxed and ready for our big day. He was such a huge part in making sure our day was perfect and created memories that will last a lifetime, up until the very last moment, even staying with us to the very end to make sure he had all of the photographs we wanted.

When the photographs arrived, we were completely blown away at how Marc managed to capture each moment, passing looks and special detail of our special day. 

We chose Marc because of his beautiful photos but also because of his sensitivity to our three year old son who is partially deaf and autistic.

Marc managed to take beautiful, moving, “real” photos of our family, without forcing our son to pose or perform."

When it came time for me to choose a photographer,
Marc was the obvious choice.

From family portraits to dancefloor action shots, we have an album of photographs that we will cherish forever.
