Hello!

My name is Mark Golovko and I am a professional wedding photographer living in Vancouver, WA. I can confidently say that I am living my childhood dream, running around with a big fancy camera and capturing smiling people all day! I am also blessed with the most incredible second shooter, and love of my life, Tanya Golovko. Together we photograph weddings as a husband-wife team,  all over Washington state and beyond. 

When I was 14 years old, I got my first camera and I got hooked right away! I realized the power this device gave me to share my stories, but I didn’t stop there. I pushed my lawnmower around the neighborhood as a kid until I saved up enough to buy a professional camera. From that moment on I started taking photos of flowers, bugs, nature, and eventually people - starting from my friends and family.  I was 16 years old when my cousin asked me to photograph her wedding for the first time. I was exhilarated! After successfully pulling off my first-ever wedding, I knew that capturing weddings was exactly what I had a calling for. 

A few years later I decided to take a film class in high school and learn how photographs were originally done on film cameras. This was followed by many more years of education and real field experience by photographing weddings alongside professional photographers from which I learned a lot as well. This helped me become an expert at what I do now. With nearly 100 weddings under my belt, I can confidently say that feeling comfortable at a once-in-a-lifetime event such as a wedding is second nature to me and I enjoy every bit of it! 

My biggest achievement as a photographer, and what I am most recognized for is being able to not only capture events in a professional manner without intruding on your special day, but also to create emotion-evoking images that will take you back to your wedding and what you felt during it. Having worked in the industry for quite some time, we can say that many photographers will deliver close to a thousand images and only a few will be worthy enough to print and hang up as art. My goal is for you to be confident that I will do everything to make sure that the photos you receive from us will all be incredible. We take pride in transparency about every aspect of this industry that the client would not normally be aware of. 

As for my personal life, I spend a lot of time with my wife in the outdoors. We absolutely love exploring new forest roads around our state and all over the Pacific Northwest, while camping in our rooftop tent. Spending time in nature helps us stay connected to one another, and stay inspired in our work.

Thank you for visiting our site, we look forward to capturing your forever moments!
