Capturing the Fleeting Moments You’ll Want to Remember Forever
Every image from your wedding day is a window into a time that will never come again—your first steps together as partners in life. These photos are sacred; they preserve the fleeting moments of your celebration, the raw emotion of your vows, and the joy you shared. As time passes, these photos will become even more precious as you revisit them, remembering what made your day truly special.
So let’s craft a day that truly reflects your relationship—one that’s as unique and adventurous as the love you share. Whether you're eloping on a mountaintop, saying "I do" by the ocean, or tying the knot in a quiet, intimate spot, your wedding day should feel entirely true to who you are. Together, we’ll create a celebration that’s filled with moments of joy, love, and purpose, so when you look back on your photos, it’s as if you’re reliving every heartfelt moment.
If this sounds like the experience you've been looking for, then you're in the right place

"Marcus was awesome from start to finish! His communication with us was very clear and consistent. He was sending my fiancé and I style guides, location potentials, and so much more. I was very impressed with how good he was to my fiancé . Very calm, offering her a hand in fixing her hair if needed, swatting bugs, or helping us get over rocks/etc. He came well prepared. He walked us through numerous poses and made us feel very comfortable. We had sneak peaks before we even had a chance to unwind from the shoot! Got us our album super quick too! Has a great eye for landscape and it pairs very nicely with his ability to capture couples.
He is a solid guy. Just an overall good dude. 10/10 would recommend twice over!"

Here's how the process works:
"Marcus was a fantastic photographer, my bride and I wanted to have someone that understood the western lifestyle with the love for horses and be able to capture the grandeur of the mountains while still keeping the shoot about the bride and groom. He nailed it and was able to capture moments that we'll treasure forever. It's hard to act natural in an unnatural situation but Marcus made the experience a heck of a lot easier, especially for me to not look so awkward along side my incredibly gorgeous photogenic wife. You can feel and see the passion exude from Marcus when he works the shoot with you, he's constantly trying to make the shot more dynamic and capture the Kodak moments you seek. We had a wonderful experience and would 10/10 recommend working with him again not just for the shots he achieves but also he's a genuine good guy that you could be friends with outside the job. We can't say enough about how he made our day that much more special for us."
Travis + Casey
"Could not say enough amazing things about Marcus and his dedication to wedding photography! We had an amazing experience with him from start to finish! He met with us leading up to our wedding, helped create a personalized timeline and discussed the photos that we really wanted to capture. He was very professional and timely! And bonus, we got our photos back quicker than I ever expected and they were PERFECT! We would highly highly recommend working with Marcus for your wedding!!"
Adam + Kailee
"We are so happy that we booked Marcus as our photographer for our 2024 wedding! Booking was easy and Marcus kept in contact with us throughout the planning process. He even made our timeline for us which our coordinator was very happy with! Marcus found the perfect sites for our engagement photos and they turned out great! On our wedding day, Marcus and his team were awesome to work with and they kept us on time! There were a lot of moving pieces and venue changes on our wedding day but everything worked out seamlessly. Our photo gallery is amazing and Marcus perfectly captured the special moments with our friends and family. Also, the gallery is huge and I was shocked by how many photos we received- way more than I was expecting!"
Hunter + Alyssa

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 6-8 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.
