YURIY + SUSAN | RENTON, WA WEDDING

“We are so blessed to have had candid photographer make all our wedding pictures so dreamy, clear and just perfect. I can’t stop looking at our magical day because of their talented work. The day before our wedding, I noticed there would be rain and I had to change my first look location and I was a nervous mess but I texted mark and right away he was on it texting me all the new locations that would be “rain friendly” even living in Portland and me in Washington. I was so thankful for that because they went above and beyond to make our day so special and mad me confident. Our whole bridal group was saying how sweet and kind they were and made the whole experience so easy and helped us with every picture taken. I couldn’t recommend candid more, I am so thankful for the most amazing couple and making all our dreams come true!”

”Mark did an absolute wonderful job with our wedding pictures! I love every shot! We opted for the smaller package but either way he captured beautiful pictures that I love to look back on. He is very professional and gives you all the tips to getting a perfect shot. We didn’t know many good spots for our wedding photos but he had some great spots in mind.

Definitely consider him for your wedding/engagement or any other photos.”
