This is your once in a lifetime moment.
Let's make it an experience you'll never forget!
Let's be honest, planning a wedding can be very stressful at times.
It can get a little overwhelming.
At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is who you're marrying, your commitment to one another, and enjoying a stress free wedding day with the people you love.
I'm here for you every step of the way
what to expect
That way when it comes to your wedding day you can live in the moment with the love of your life. I'll make sure to capture all those precious memories that will leave you speechless and crying happy tears as you relive each moment from your wedding day.
With experience planning my own wedding and years of experience helping couples plan theirs, I'll use all of my knowledge to help make the process a breeze. In order to make this happen, you'll receive a full 36 page wedding guide, vendor recommendations, location scouting and knowledge, a custom wedding timeline, and full access to me every step of the way.
Here's how the process works:
step one
Fill out my inquiry form with all the details. I'll be in contact within 12 hours with all the info you need.
step two
We'll setup a video call to go over your wedding vision and make sure we're the perfect fit, and decide on a package that's perfect for your needs.
step three
We secure your date with a signed contract and deposit.
step four
Your wedding day is here! We'll capture all those magical moments you've been dreaming about.
Sneak peeks within 48 hours and your full gallery will be delivered in 6-8 weeks through an online gallery. Now you just have to decide which photos you're going to print for your walls.
step six
We'll have creative and logistic meetings to create an engagement session and wedding day that surpasses your vision. I'll help with timeline planning, recommendations, and more.
step five
Here's how the process works:
CAN I CUSTOMIZE MY WEDDING PACKAGE?
Yes you can. Every couple is different and has their own vision. All packages can be customized so we can fit your needs.
how long until i receive my photos?
I send off galleries as fast as I can but for engagement/couples sessions you can expect them in 2-3 weeks. Full wedding galleries can be expected in 4-6 weeks.
How will we receive our photos?
I deliver all my photos through an online gallery that you'll have full access to using a pin code. Both high resolution and social media versions are available for download. You can also share the gallery with all your friends and family to download. I HIGHLY recommend creating your own backups (at least 1 but 2 is best) of your gallery. I only keep your gallery available online for 1 year.
Should we do an engagement session?
100% YES! Engagement sessions are an incredible way to spend some quality time with your favorite person in one of your favorite places. As your potential wedding photographer, it's the perfect way for us to get to know each other and get comfortable working together. Choose a place that's special to you or let's go on an adventure to somewhere epic!
What should we wear to the photoshoot?
I have a full style guide that talks about this that I'll send to you when you book with me. It's full of inspo pics as well.
Do you travel?
YES! Traveling and hiking the world is what got me into photography. I've been all over the world including, Hawaii (many times), the Tetons, Montana, Arizona, Australia, New Zealand, Iceland, South Africa, the Serengeti, France, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Mexico, and all over the Caribbean. If you're planning a destination wedding or elopement, I have a ton of knowledge to share with you!
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included into all of my packages for weddings and elopements within the US. For international weddings and elopements please contact me directly for an accurate quote. Depending on the location prices can vary widely.
Do you offer payment plans?
In general I do a three payment system. 33% of your package price is due as a deposit to hold your date. 33% is due three months before your wedding date and the final 33% is due two weeks before your wedding date. If you need a custom payment plan outside of that let me know.
Can you photoshop us?
I will always remove objects, stains, or blemishes to make the photo or your skin look better. However I don't use photoshop to alter you. I'm here to capture your beauty just the way you are.
asked questions
frequently
"My husband and I had such a wonderful experience working with Marcus (and Hannah Lee Films) on a sunset photo shoot in the mountains! He made sure we were comfortable and felt confident throughout the whole evening, directed us if anything looked awkward, gave great affirmations throughout the shoot, had so much fun, and had such an amazing eye for a great shot. Our photos turned out beautiful and we can’t wait to frame them! Marcus’s passion for photography and years of experience really show in his work! 10/10. Definitely would recommend Marcus for your event or any other photo shoot needs!"
Nate + Anna

We did a sunset shoot for our engagement they turned out perfect! Our wedding was on Oct. 21st 2023 so we have no received our wedding photos yet but I know we will not be disappointed!"
Mike + Kasey
"Marcus did a phenomenal job with both his photography. Marcus was able to capture so much more than I ever thought possible with his photos. With his background in landscape photography he was able to get shots that most other photographers would not even think of doing. He is willing to get down and dirty to get the most beautiful shots. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer!"
