Niamh Sent on 27/09/2024Gorgeous photos from an incredible photographer!
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!Mark Chivers Photography's reply:
Niamh, thank you so much for your fantastic review, you just made me cry!
Your wedding was such a wonderful occasion, full of amazing people having so much fun, which just made my job so easy, even though it must have been the hottest day of the year!
And thank you so much for the lovely Thank You card too, which arrived this morning and now sits pride of place on my mantelpiece.
Much love to you both,

Wonderful experience from start to finish
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 Chivers Photography's reply:

You wedding was awesome, you were great clinets to work with and your friends and family made the whole day fun and easy to shoot!
Kindest regards

Chloe Sent on 05/05/2026Perfect photos
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 recommendMark Chivers Photography's reply:
Thank you Chloe, I really enjoyed being with you on your special day and I am so glad you love the photos too.

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!

Mark is your man!
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.

Calm and professional
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 anyoneMark Chivers Photography's reply:

Wishing you both all the very best for the future.

Mark was extremely professional from the very beginning. We had great confidence that he would do a great job of capturing our special day and he did indeed! He is extremely organised and thorough but also relaxed and friendly. The perfect mix. We have stunning photos and everyone commented on what a nice chap he was. We couldn't recommend Mark enough xMark Chivers Photography's reply:

Lisa Sent on 24/11/2025Perfect photographer on our perfect day.
Mark was incredible with us. Had loads of good ideas and suggestions ahead of the day, identified perfect spots around the venue for some amazing pictures, and on the day was incredibly professional with a great attitude. His price was very in line with other wedding photographers we looked at, and he was definitely worth it - the photos we have we will cherish forever, -

100% recommend
I will open with a unoriginal statement - the wedding planning is stressful, with all the planning tools in the world, it just is. Having said, from my initial chat with Mark I could feel my stress subsiding, he's very professional and empathetic and the communication was great.
His initial documents pack gave me an understanding of available packages, then we had a couple of chats and he guided me on my options and provided advice on timelines, I wish dealing with my other suppliers was as easy as dealing with him! Everything was straightforward, and there was also some room for flexibility, so at least before the wedding I was confident this is def sorted.
On the day Mark made us feel at ease, despite my husband and I not being keen on posing much, and yet now we have beautiful photos, where we both look relaxed and happy.
After the wedding the communication remained great, I got some images for a little preview and then the rest pretty soon after, which I understand can vary, but I was v happy with my delivery. It was great seeing the photos and reliving the day, seeing our guests having fun and noticing some unexpected moments captured for us by Mark.
I would 1000000% recommend, and you should all book him asap, so at least there'll be one less thing to stress about!Mark Chivers Photography's reply:
Thank you Irina!
I think you pretty much summed up everything about me, my service and what I do for all my clients for every wedding I shoot perfectly.
Thank you for being such a lovely clients and I my only regret is I wish I could have stayed longer with you on the day.
Kindest regards to both you and your new husband,

Amazing Wedding Photographer!!!
We honestly can’t recommend Mark enough! He captured the most amazing photos of our big day — each one full of emotion, joy, and the little moments we’ll treasure forever.
Mark has that perfect balance of being professional yet relaxed, which made us and our guests feel completely at ease. He blended in so naturally with the wedding party that it felt like he was one of the guests — but somehow managed to be everywhere at once, capturing the most beautiful candid shots.
So many of our friends and family commented afterwards on how lovely he was, with several saying they wished they’d had him for their own wedding!!Mark Chivers Photography's reply:
Thank you Carl, for that lovely review and I could not ask for better clients and for better guests.
It was truly an honour to be with you on your day and that bus journey was absolutely epic! -
