Hey I’m Mark!
Buffalo native through and through. My love for capturing people and their stories took root by accident. It all started with a camera at summer camp, and well, let's just say I've been inseparable from one ever since. Years later, when documenting my cousin's wedding on a whim, a spark ignited a passion for wedding photography. I'm a total sucker for the raw, unscripted moments that unfold on a wedding day, and I can't wait to capture those special memories for others!
But enough about my story, I want to hear about yours!
Here are the core beliefs that guide my approach:
Authenticity: I believe in keeping things real and capturing the genuine emotions of your wedding day!
Minimalist: Keeping your photos simple and clean is a the core of my work. I’m not trendy, I’m timeless!
Organized: Wedding photography is 10% taking photos and 90% people skills. Timeline management is key!

“Mark was fantastic! Everything we asked him for he delivered! You can tell that he wanted to capture every moment for us, he made everyone laugh to capture authentic smiles. We were his first clients, but 100% will not be his last. If we could do it all again we would pick him in a heartbeat. Thank you Mark for making our special day perfect!.”
