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,
Mark -

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

Lucy Sent on 16/09/2026A key part of creating our magical day
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 -

Andy Sent on 24/08/2026A brilliant wedding photographer
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 Chivers Photography's reply:
Hi Andy,
Thank you both so much, what a genuinely lovely review, and I'm so pleased you're happy with everything! Linden House is such a beautiful venue and your day was a real pleasure to be part of.
Knowing that your guests enjoyed having me there, and that looking through the album feels like reliving the day, means the world to me, it's exactly what I set out to achieve with every wedding I photograph.
I wish you both a lifetime of happiness together, and fingers crossed I'll see you again at another friend's wedding before long!
With warmest wishes,

Excellent wedding photography - no regrets!
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!Mark Chivers Photography's reply:
Hi Lucy,
Thank you so much, this is such a kind and thoughtful review, and I'm really glad you're happy with everything! It was a brilliant day to be part of, and you, your family and friends made it a real joy to photograph.
As for the heat, I won't pretend it wasn't a warm one, but when the day is as lovely as yours was, it's hard to complain!
I hope you're both enjoying looking back through the photos, and I wish you every happiness together.
With warmest wishes,

Victoria Sent on 26/07/2026Wonderful photographer!
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 Chivers Photography's reply:
Hi Vicky,
Thank you so much for these wonderful words, it really means a lot! I remember our first Zoom call well, and it was clear straight away what a lovely couple you were, so I felt just as delighted to be photographing your wedding. Days like yours are exactly why I love this job, getting to capture the joy and emotion as it naturally unfolds. Huge congratulations again, and thank you for trusting me with such an important day!

Micro wedding at Marylebone Town Hall
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.Mark Chivers Photography's reply:
Hi Rebecca,
Thank you so much for such a lovely review, it really means a lot!
I love that you mentioned your husband and mum, because moments like that are honestly my favourite part of the job. Getting people who don't usually enjoy having their photo taken to relax and just be themselves, that's what leads to the shots you'll treasure most, so I'm so pleased it worked out that way for you both.
I'm thrilled the photos brought it all back for you. Thank you again for trusting me with it, and for taking the time to write this.
Wishing you and your husband all the very best!

Pamela Sent on 02/06/2026Wedding Day Bliss!
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 Chivers Photography's reply:
Hi Pam,
Thank you so much for great review and for being such wonderful clients!
Wishing you a long and happy future together,
Mark

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:
Thank you Matt!
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
