Mark Chivers Photography

The whole process with Mark was 10/10 from start to finish. If you're wanting a photographer who is charismatic, friendly, and willing to try some fun ideas, Mark is your guy! He made the entire party feel at ease, which I thought super important especially when you're not used to having a camera around, and at points we even forgot he was there (meant in the most positive way possible as this made for more natural shots)!
We received our full gallery of photos a lot sooner than we initially expected, and we are completely spoilt for choice with which ones to get printed for our home! Looking back through was such a joyous experience, brought back fantastic memories from the day and even a few tears - Mark truly captured our day so beautifully and we couldn't recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Mark!

We had an amazing experience with Mark for our civil wedding at Marylebone Town Hall. He took the time to do a few pre-calls beforehand, which really helped us feel comfortable and reassured, and he truly listened to our vision which was angled towards wanting more editorial style photos. On the day, he made us and our whole family feel completely at ease and was such a joy to have around. To add, my in laws were also there from France and can’t speak much English and Mark was so patient and kind with them.
We were absolutely over the moon with the photos — they look like something out of a magazine. We couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Mark is absolutely lovely, he was extremely patient and professional. We are both thrilled with our wedding pictures and didn't know we could look so good! Our friends and family thought the pictures were amazing.
Thanks again Mark for capturing the atmosphere of joy and love on our wedding day. You were absolutely fabulous.
All our love

Mark was a pleasure to deal with. he was really flexible where we needed it (e.g. we added some extra time onto his standard micropackage, we made a late decision to start earlier to get photos before the wedding) but also really good at recommending what would and wouldn't work within the time, practical considerations etc, so we and our guests weren't rushed.

On the day he was punctual and organised. We had a small wedding, just 10 guests, and he knew all our guest's names and made them feel at ease.

We hate getting our photo taken and were dreading the photos, but he made it feel very natural. He guided us when needed, gave us ideas, but also let us create our own moments that were authentically 'us'. And actually getting the photos taken turned out to be one of the highlights of the day.

We had some unplanned diversions on route to the reception but he was completely relaxed and captured some great, informal moments.

Thanks Mark, we love our photos and helping us capture the day.


We contacted Mark for his but in the end we added on some extra time which Mark was super flexible about

We hired Mark hoping for great pictures — we got that, plus a genuinely brilliant addition to our day. Friendly, patient, and funny, he handled our wildly different guests with ease, delivered a perfect set of photos that matched our style exactly, and gave spot-on advice from someone who knows weddings inside out. Thoroughly recommended.

We got married at Linden House in July 2026 and booked Mark as our wedding photographer. He was absolutely fantastic.

From our first Zoom meeting with Mark we knew we were on to a winner. Mark is a very personable, friendly person who got to know us, our likes and dislikes, and what type of wedding we were planning. He had great suggestions and professional insight on how best to approach the photography on the day. His approach meant the photography didn’t encroach upon things, slow up proceedings, become burdensome to us, or intrusive to our guests.

During our ceremony he was like the invisible man – we hardly noticed he was there. And yet he beautifully captured the ceremony with the most wonderful intimate photographs (we’re still not quite sure how he did it!).

Many of our guests commented on how nice our photographer was. Indeed, throughout the day he captured the most amazing moments. Looking though our wedding album is like reliving the day, such is the skill at which Mark really captured the warmth and feel of the day. Every single photograph we received was highly professional, captured a wonderful moment, and brought back so many happy memories. Truly a cut above other photographers.

Mark was also photographer at two friends’ weddings, and should any more friends be getting married we would not hesitate to recommend Mark to them. Top marks for Mark!

Mark was incredibly professional and approachable. From our initial chat online, to going through the schedule of the day beforehand, to turning up on time and covering all key moments of the day and capturing all guests, and great communication afterwards, we are very happy with our photographer choice for the day. Our family and friends felt very comfortable with Mark there. The photos he took are brilliant and we will treasure them. He captured moments incredibly well (he has a real eye), both from being in the background and in formal group/couple shots. He was very speedy with getting an initial selection of photographs across after the wedding and has been easy to communicate with throughout. As an aside, he also put up with the heat of the summer day without complaint!

Having seen Mark's beautiful and romantic portfolio here on Hitched, he was instantly our top choice and we were delighted he was free to photograph our wedding at somewhat short notice. Mark was a pleasure to speak to from the start, as well as highly professional, knowledgeable and reassuring, and we felt in very good hands from our first Zoom call. On the day, Mark was brilliant at getting everyone positioned for the photos, as well as capturing some beautiful moments 'reportage' style (which we really wanted) and we are delighted with the results which really capture the joy and emotion of the day. We couldn't be happier!

Mark put us both at ease but was very professional. We were both delighted with the photographs and they were a fabulous reflection of our special day. Both my husband and mother dislike having their photo taken but Mark was able to make them feel less self conscious and got some really lovely shots of them both. The package was great value for money and Mark actually arrived early and finished later than agreed, getting a wonderful selection of photos for us to choose from. I would highly recommend Mark for any event.

We had a perfect wedding day and this was helped and then evidenced by Mark's photography! The photographs were beautiful and really captured the essence of the day from arrival at the registry office, the ceremony and then afterwards at the reception party. They are such a wonderful record of our very special day. We also received them very quickly and they were easy to access - our guests loved them!

Mark is a fantastic photographer providing so many photos for us to look through after the day itself. He held meetings with us beforehand to plan what we wanted from the day and suggested lots of ideas himself, many of which we hadn't considered and were great.

He managed to capture the essence of the day perfectly and very fast turnaround on getting the photos back to us, would highly recommend and great value.

Mark was fantastic from the start. His prices are fair but competitive and he took time to get to know us and the style we were looking for. As someone who hates being in front of the camera as I feel very awkward, Mark was great at getting the balance of taking amazing natural shots and some more formal ones which with his direction weren’t awkward at all! He captured our day and guests perfectly. Would highly recommend

I reached out to Mark in August 2024 in the leadup to my wedding in the following year of June 2025. Firstly, Mark was very responsive in getting back to me after reaching out to him through Hitched. Mark and I initially had a professional meeting just under a year before the wedding, where we sat down to discuss what it was that I was looking for on the day, including the style of photography. As well as this, being new to the process, Mark asked me some great questions around finer practical details on the day itself and advised timings for the photos, based on his past experiences with weddings photography. Mark was very knowledgeable and so I felt I could trust his judgment on how long to time events for on the day for the photos.
Over the months running up to the to the wedding we fine tuned all the details for the day to ensure the day went smoothly and everything I had wanted photo - wise was included to capture the moments we wanted.
Mark was a real pleasure to work with from start to finish. He was professional, courteous, down to earth and friendly. He was always punctual for our meetings and arrived early as planned on the day of the weddings itself.
Mark did a great job with getting our guests ready for the photos. He injected photos with fun and laughter to bring them alive and add character to them, especially with the bridesmaids and groomsmen. He was also patient when it came to larger group photos with took more time. Mark was also flexible with being able to stay longer on the day as the timing of our speeches changed slightly. I was very grateful for Mark being able to do so.
Several months after the wedding, I reached out to Mark again as I wanted a photo album to curate something special that was physically to hand, to capture our favourite memories of the day, for us to look back at and share with our family and friends.
Again, Mark’s attention to detail came into fruition over the couple of months, when we carefully planned the finer details I wanted within the album, including the type of finish of the pages, the layout of the photos and the finishes of the book itself. Mark has high standards and is passionate about his work as he wanted to deliver something special for my husband and I.
We received our album earlier this month. When we sat down to enjoy looking through it, it brought real joy and smiles to our faces taking us back to the amazing day itself, where we had so much fun! We were able to capture amazing memories that we now have for a lifetime.
Thank you, Mark, for all of your time, patience, professionalism, attention to detail and fantastic photography. You have been great to work with.
I would recommend Mark for your special day; he is a fantastic photographer!

If you are still looking, look no further!
Mark is absolutely fantastic! He captured our day perfectly and exactly how I wanted him to.
He made sure every guest was captured in some shape or form. Every part of the day was captured perfectly. There were no bad photos at all!

It was also a joy having Mark as part of our day. He moved around at times going unnoticed capturing our special moments, but also guests recognised how lovely he was and spoke so highly of him as a photographer with his professional but friendly manner.

Mark photographed our wedding in December 2025. He was always responsive and helpful in the lead up, arranging calls when needed without overwhelming us.

On the day he helped keep the atmosphere calm and relaxed. He helped us getting ready and then prepared fantastic photos. We spent 4 hours with him and now have a wonderful gallery of our day.

Would recommend Mark to anyone
