M & R Wedding Photographers Full Description
M and R Wedding Photographers : Named Wedding Photography Studio of the Year 2023 - North East by SME News Magazine Weddings can be so much fun to shoot. There's always a great energy and the atmosphere is usually very relaxed and laid back. The main thing I love about weddings is the genuine emotion you get from all of your subjects; whether its laughter, tears or that silent smile on the groom's face as he watches his bride walk down the aisle towards him. Weddings are important days in the lives of everyone, and we strive to make them unforgettable. This applies equally both to the couple and their guests. We approach every wedding on a personal level and aim to create something unique for each one. What we at M & R Photography (North) want to do is bring you the most memorable shots, the ones that will make you laugh and the ones that will make you cry. So that for years to come you can still feel the emotions of the day when you look back through your photo's. We use the most up to date equipment to make sure that we bring you the best, we also make sure that each photographer does at least one course a year to make sure they are as up to date in the latest trends. The most important thing is to make sure that everything is exactly how you wish it to be,

A* Service - We would 100% recommend Mark
Mark made us all feel so comfortable from start to finish as he captured all the best moments throughout the day. He was very friendly with all of our guests which is what impressed us most. He also kept us completely on track with everything during the day, what was going to happen next, which photos he wanted to take next etc…he knew exactly what he was doing and when, which was perfect for us. He didn’t leave a job unfinished, he stayed a bit later to ensure everything important was captured.

Mark was amazing he found exactly we want in our pre wedding chat and he definitely delivered , what an amazing service , mark ended up becoming a good friend on the wedding day rather then just a camera man , when he dropped our wedding album off which is stunning he also offered to take photos of my newborn which is amazing the guy really went above and beyond

Excellent Service
Mark was fantastic! He came out to see us, asked us what we wanted and he did just that! He gets to know you so that he will fit in on your special day! He is a very nice laid back guy and is flexible to what ever you ask of him. Can't moan about the price either very reasonable considering he stayed with us from the start of our day and didn't leave until 9pm, photos are top quality and so Is our lovely wedding album. Highly recommended!

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Every wedding is memorable in its own way, I can pick a part of all of the weddings I have done and say that's the most memorable part of that one, but every wedding is different and you can learn something new and memorable from all of them.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Candid, Relaxed, Professional,

What about your business are you most proud of?

I am proud at the fact that even through the pandemic I never stopped working, okay it was not weddings but there were things that I could do to carry on making a living.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Make sure that every thing you get and want from photographer, wedding venue, dj etc. Is what you want its your day that way you will have nothing to worry about and the long memory is of what you want not what you wanted!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

I can't say I have one but many , but the way in which the rings are delivered to the bride and groom at the alter, from owls and birds of prey flying them in, to dogs carrying them, and of course when the young children present them.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

After Initial Inquiry we set up a free no obligation consultation, this allows both you to meet us in person and us to meet you. After this we take your booking, and arrange to make another meeting approximately 6 to 4 weeks before your wedding. This is where we finalise details on what you require, as well as times etc. After your wedding we take 2 - 4 weeks to get all digital proofs to you, these will be immediately available for you to download. We also at this point ask you to choose the photos for your album if you have arranged for us to provide one. We then on receiving your favorite's do an online mock up of the album and the positions of the photos and send it to you for approval. Once approved your album should be available in 4-6 weeks.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

For me it has to be the one picture that shows the happiness of the bride and groom, where you can see the love for each other and the fact that they just love being in each others lives.

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

I have done one when the weather was really bad and the brides dress and grooms suite could not take much more, so I got them to agree before they got changed to come out to a large flooded area in the car park. We got a car to drive through the edge of the flooded area as the bride and groom were stood in the middle we got a classic wave that day, and a damn good soaking.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Umbrellas, we try to make sure that even the rain cannot spoil your day or any other weather for that matter. We provide large clear umbrellas and take the appropriate photos that we can, as well as work out a great location indoors if all else fails to take your photos.

Describe how you got into photography.

I joined the Army in 1980 and it all started there, I was initially taught using film, and then moved up to digital as it came in to use.
