About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2022

Last update: May 2024

Wedding and Event photography is at the centre of my work tho I do have a studio and I'm just as happy working with families and individuals creating portfoilo images for agencies as well as private commissions.

My work leans towards natural light and capturing candid moments throughout the day. Staged shots have their place and are important and I can work with natural light as well as studio location lights that I always bring to events. lighting is everything and thinking quickly and being confident and relaxed brings out the best in everyone. Even those that hate having their picture taken!

I'm a qualified drone pilot so can bring video and stills into the mix if it's safe to fly. I shoot with Canon R5 cameras that can shoot completly silently if needed.

Mark captured every special moment

Mark is amazing! He made our wedding day that much more special, by subtly finding moments to capture in the sunset and gardens of our venue. When the skies darkened, he whipped out studio lights for an impromptu photo shoot with friends outside. He managed to get both our large families in a series of excellent photos, and was continually kind and calm. We cannot recommend Mark enough!!

The perfect photographer for our special day

We had an unusual wedding and were looking for quite a long time for the perfect photographer to capture it. Mark responded promptly to our queries and arranged a call to get a good idea of our needs. He was extremely professional but also friendly and approachable. We did an engagement shoot to get used to each other before the wedding itself, and he took us to all the most beautiful spots to find the best shots. On the day of the wedding, he was very discreet when taking pictures so you barely noticed he was there, but managed to capture all those little moment we love, as well as all of the big ones. The drone shot was also a win!
I couldn't recommend him more for your big day!

One of the best decisions we made!

My husband and I recently had Mark capture our wedding - and flawless is the best word I can use to describe just how our wedding day went, all because of Mark.
Every request we had was met with a smile!
From coming a day early to meet the family at the rehearsal dinner to staying far into the night, Mark was a highlight from out wedding and it would not have been the same without him.
We are so happy with our decision to have him as a part of our day!

If you are looking for someone who cares and will make sure you enjoy every moment, Mark is the answer.

Our experience with Mark of Mark Pickthall Studio Ltd from beginning to end was perfect.

From the outset, Mark showed real passion for photography and was genuinely excited about the location we had for our wedding. He took the time to understand us prior to our wedding with relaxed meetings virtually and in person at our venue. His style is relaxed and fun which was just what we were looking for. Mark took some truly stunning shots, capturing every element of the day, enabling us to relive every special moment. He seamlessly blended into the crowed, with us looking back at many of the pictures unaware these had even been taken. He was there from our arrival early in the morning, right up to the last dance and beyond. His communication was exceptional, even keeping us informed of every new drop of fantastic pictures as we were enjoying our honeymoon. We are so blessed to have found Mark who has perfectly captured the most amazing memories of our special day. Thank you x

The best we could have asked for!

Mark did our wedding day photos and engagement photos shoot photos - needless to say that he gave us evehthing we wanted and more and captured our wedding day on the most beautiful and magical way. Mark made us both feel relaxed and at ease when doing both our engagement photos and on our wedding day. We also have young son who we wanted in the photos and mark worked so well with him being patient and kind and really capturing his playful nature and spirit. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Charlie and Joanne Cowan - wedding - North Cadbury Court

I have known Mark over 10 years and have seen him working, at so many weddings at North Cadbury Court. Thus when it came to booking a photographer for my own wedding, it was an easy descision to book Mark as I knew I was in safe hands. Mark was highly professional, discrete, went above and beyond the call of duty. He delivered in so many ways and the quality of photos he took was outstanding. He really helped us and advised us during the wedding rehearsal and on the big day was always around discreetly to take the most amazing photos. I can highly recommend him for any one looking for a highly experienced wedding photographer.

Professional but relaxed

Mark is supremely relaxed, which is what we wanted for our wedding. Rather than a set of formal photos, we really just wanted a record of the day, and Mark followed this to the letter. Great to work with and a thoroughly good fun chap!

Fantastic experience all round!

Mark is an exceptional photographer, he went above and beyond and made us both feel extremely comfortable behind the camera. He captured our wedding day perfectly and I have already recommended him to a friend and would certainly look to do so again to others in the future.

Completely personalised experience

Mark kept fantastic communication leading up to the day and arrived well before me on the day. He had scouted the best positions for the most beautiful photos and we received them whilst we were still on our honeymoon! The whole experience was incredible and he captured all the incredible memories we will cherish forever

Incredible photographer!

Mark is a super talented photographer and a lovely person too! He produced simply EPIC photos of our special day, made us feel so at ease in the build up and was such a calming presence on the day. His photos are iconic and we couldn't recommend him more.
