Mark Barnes Photography Full Description
A love for photography led to my dream career as a wedding photographer. Hi, I’m Mark Barnes. Multi-award winning wedding photographer with over 18 years of experience. I’ve captured over 750 weddings across the UK, Ireland, and rest of the globe and wouldn’t change my career for the world. Since photographing my first wedding at 14 years old. I’ve grown to guide each bride and groom through an exceptional experience. I’m proud to say that couples I’ve met and photographed are now lifelong friends. Documenting your wedding is a huge privilege for me and one that I never take lightly. I take you from initial chats, through to romantic and family shots, and beyond - presenting your amazing photographs in whichever format you choose – all with the personal touch that you need. Cherished Photographs I treat every wedding as if it is my first. No awards that I’ve won have ever come close to the tears that my couple shed when they see their photographs for the first time. As a father to two amazing young girls, I build a connection with families and give you the best possible service that I can. Check out some of my featured weddings, or get in touch with me and let's chat more. PPANI I currently serve as President of the Professional Photographers Association of Northern Ireland (PPANI). Established in 1966, PPANI is Northern Ireland's longest professional photography body, creating an incredible environment with networking opportunities across Northern Ireland. I can't recommend it enough to any upcoming or fellow professionals.

We were lucky enough to have Mark as our Wedding photographer
We were lucky enough to have Mark as our Wedding photographer. From the first video call to post wedding Mark has been amazing. He answered all our questions and reassured us throughout the process. Mark listened to our ideas and suggested ways to ensure we got exactly what we wanted (and more!). Mark created the perfect atmosphere at both our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. He expertly guided us through the day keeping us on schedule but never making us feel rushed. We had so much craic, it put both of us at ease. All of our guests have commented on how amazing Mark was and have given us so many compliments on the photos. Mark is an all round lovely guy with an amazing talent for capturing special wedding day moments. We can't recommend Mark enough!

Mark is without a doubt the best wedding photographer we could have asked for.
Mark is without a doubt the best wedding photographer we could have asked for. He is such a character and is able to capture such amazing photographs without you feeling under pressure or even aware he’s doing it most of the time. Absolutely loved all of our photographs from the day and couldn’t of asked for a better photographer, plus he’s always there to keep you right with all things wedding related as he has so much experience too which we appreciated on the day. Couldn’t recommend him enough.

Such a lovely, engaging man
We had mark Barnes at our wedding yesterday and he was absolutely fantastic from our initial meeting with him and throughout the entire day. Such a lovely, engaging man who was such a professional. Showed us some of the shots on the day and they look amazing, he deserves all the awards he wins and more. Can’t wait to see our album but I already know it will be brilliant. We had a very wet day too and our small son to work with but nothing was a problem to Mark. Many many thanks!

A brilliant eye for photo opportunities!
Mark was the photographer for my wedding and no words for just how amazing he was. For someone who has a real fear of having her photo taken he made the whole thing so easy and has a brilliant eye for photo opportunities! He really is fantastic at what he does and I can't recommend him enough!!!
