Are you looking for a fantastic, fun, happy, easy going, constantly smiling wedding photogragher that you and your guests will love? Then I'm your man!
Hi, I’m Mark, but everyone calls me Happy Bob! I'm the world's only mohawk photographer (probably!)
I’m a multi award-winning, two decade-plus experienced, passionate photographer and videographer, based in Peterborough, UK – although I do travel all over the UK and to destinations if needed – who will go to the ends of the earth to ensure your precious moments are documented, ensuring you’ll be able to replay your story over and over.
My candid style and natural story-telling approach allows your day to unravel in real time, helping to keep you calm, relaxed and able to enjoy your big day without experiencing any stress.
As I like to say, every wedding is full of beautiful, natural, fleeting moments, so booking a documentary-style photographer, like myslef, allows me to capture every second. of the day, taking artistic candid images, which will allow you to relive your ‘Big Day’, again and again and again.
After all, what price do you put on memories? Dresses get put away, cakes get eaten and confetti gets swept up, but when you have fantastic pictures these lovely memories are yours to keep forever
This is why it’s essential that they are are the best that money can buy!
Services Offered
Having been a professional photographer for over 20-years. I like to capture those little ‘never-to-be-repeated‘ moments in time that allow you to keep forever. I do this by using natural light, so I become much less obtrusive, as I don’t direct or dictate. This allows me to portray the day as it naturally unfolds.
Other than the odd, pre-planned traditional group photo, I spend the majority of the day photographing real and meaningful moments between family and friends.
Weddings are full of fleeting moments and so my style wholly allows me to remain in the ‘heart of the action’ without impacting on the day’s atmosphere.

Gary and Amy's wedding 03.04.2025
I met Mark when he took our amazing engagement photos 5 years ago and decided then and there I would definitely be using him for our wedding!
He was then kind enough to come and get some snaps of my baby boy the following year. We stayed in touch and the day I booked my wedding I messaged Mark to ask if he was available that day.
He's communication from then on was spot on, responded to emails and messages instantly, came out to see us to discuss details and what we wanted/didn't want and as always lives up to his nickname 'happy bob' ☺️
He arrived promptly on the day, made everyone feel totally comfortable, introduced himself and he loves a laugh and a joke which made the atmosphere perfect, the children all took to him instantly. Nothing was too much trouble. He was discreet when he needed to be, we had fun with some pictures and also got the romantic ones, we were on a tight time limit and Mark captured our day better than I ever expected.
So many of my guests said to me on the day or messaged me after and expressed how brilliant the photographer was and how much of a great guy he is, that speaks volumes to me!
Then.....and I never expected to be any where near as fast, Mark got all my 778 photos edited and ready for me via a link within 3 days and we were absolutely blown away with the images mark had captured of our special day
I couldn't recommend Mark - HB Total Media more. Thank you!!

Could have asked for a better photographer!
Mark was fantastic from the get go from starting to plan our wedding to the end of the day! Full of good advice, when rain threatened our day Mark kept us calm and had plans in place to make sure we got the photos we wanted come rain or shine. Our guests loved the energy Mark brought to the day as he ensured everyone felt relaxed, we wanted pictures with our two year old springer who is very springy! he worked his magic and got her to stay still enough for us to get great pictures with her. Mark also took some amazing candid shots which we will treasure forever - five stars

Amazing 5 star service
Mark was amazing during the whole wedding planning process until the first dance! He was informative and made everyone feel comfortable, even us the bride and groom when our registrar arrived at our venue late. All of our guests were nothing but complimentary about Mark. They all said he was funny and was not awkward at all as some photographers may be. We received our photos very quickly and our bespoke usb box was a lovely gesture which we didn't expect it to come in. We would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a funny, chatty professional who takes amazing photos and provides 5 star service!

Fantastic photographer
Mark was the best photographer we could have chosen and we really do mean that. He put us both at ease and made us feel totally relaxed as we both are not very keen on having our photos taken or feel that we are photogenic 🤣. All our guests said what a lovely easy going guy he was and loved having there photos taken he really did make it fun. We couldn’t be more happier with the photos they are beautiful and he really did capture our whole day just the way we wanted. I would 💯recommend Mark and you will not be disappointed. Thank you from the new Mr & Mrs Holmes.

Perfect wedding photographer
Mark was amazing from our engagement shoot to perfectly capturing our day, looking through our photos has been a pleasure, the candid shots we asked for were amazing.
I would thoroughly recommend Mark! He also recommended our videographer and offered great advice during the planning of our wedding.

Amazing all round!!
We are absolutely blown away by the photos of our wedding from Mark at HB Total Media! We picked Mark because his style aligned with what we wanted, and he absolutely delivered!! We didn’t meet Mark until the day, but all communication with him was spot on - any queries or concerns were answered really quickly, we had regular updates and check-ins either over email or phone call in the run-up to the big day and lots of reassurance! On the day, Mark was so lovely and it was like we’d known him forever! He managed to wrangle us all into looking presentable and he captured stunning photos of everyone, and all those natural moments too which is what we were really keen on getting alongside the more posed shots. I cannot recommend Mark enough if you want an event photographer that is approachable, professional, a good laugh and able to catch all the special moments. Thank you Mark!

Exceeded expectations 10x over!!
Mark is an artist - his photos from our big day are breath-taking, and we were extremely touched by the candid moments he managed to snap without anyone noticing! Mark was in comms with us from day-1; he made sure the booking and planning process was extremely straight-forward and he checked-in regularly to ensure we would get what we wanted. Mark put everyone at the wedding at ease and was able to bring genuine smiles to our faces with his infectious sense of humour - this made for some wonderful photographs in return! We can’t thank Mark enough for what he’s created for us, and we couldn’t recommend him more highly. Pick Mark - you truly will not regret it.

Mesmerising
After winning our engagement shoot with Mark , we were instantly calm and comfortable around him. So much that we booked him straight away for a wedding. That was the best thing we did.
The wedding photos are stunning. They’re so natural and unforced smiles by everybody.
We cannot recommend Mark enough. It was a pleasure having him there on a special day.
