Amazing memories captured for a lifetime

We are so glad we found Mark and booked him as our wedding photographer. Mark is a true professional in every way. Not only is he extremely talented with capturing classic poses he is also capable of mingling inconspicuously with guests throughout the day to get the best candid and natural shots. However, his night photography has to be seen to be believed and we are blown away with the images he has produced for us. We would thoroughly recommend Mark to any couple looking for a personable and professional photographer for their wedding.

The most magical day, captured perfectly by Mark. An amazing photographer.

Mark Sisley was absolutely amazing. He captured our special day perfectly.
The professionalism was impeccable , Mark worked very hard and was not intrusive at all. The photos he took are beautiful and have captured the ambiance of the day. All our guests said how amazing he was and we have everyone present laughing, happy and enjoying themselves in our photos.
Mark was fantastic at taking impromptu and difficult shots that just look amazing.
Mark stayed all day and it was so lovely to look back on pictures of our day that we hadn’t seen .
We cannot recommend him highly enough.

Great photographer and keeps you informed

Mark really listened to what we wanted for our wedding. It was a very informal day, we wanted our guests to feel as at ease as possible. This was achievable by Mark's great in action shots.
For someone who hates having their photo taken, mark is great. Would highly recommend

Stand Out Top Quality Photographer. So glad we chose Mark Sisley!

Choosing a photographer for such an important life event is quite nerve wracking - it feels important to get it 'right'. What I can say is that from the outset we were put at ease by Mark and his care and attention to detail and customer service are phenomenal. He took time to explain his shooting and editing processes - showing us examples of his work whilst also enthusiastically talking through our plans and his knowledge of the venue. His approach is professional, warm, and friendly and his skill and passion for his craft really shines through. It was clear throughout how he truly cares about his clients and the results he achieves. We found it so helpful to have a pre-wedding portrait shoot and planning session with Mark at our venue Bisham Abbey. On the wedding day itself (we chose the 8 hour option) we really got to appreciate Mark in action - he is wonderfully creative and responsive as a photographer and he beautifully captured the precious moments of our special day as they unfolded. When needed he gently guides and directs but otherwise he blends seamlessly into the background doing a fantastic job. The gorgeous photographs we have now are testimony to his dedication and exceptional work - we are delighted and warmly recommend him to other couples - thank you Mark.

Fantastic photographer who goes above and beyond

Our experience with Mark was fantastic. From the moment we met him at a Wedding Fair he carefully explained the whole process and really put us at ease with what to expect from a high quality wedding photographer. He was very willing to show us examples of his work from other weddings which gave us the confidence to book him. Mark took some lovely photos of the service and the wedding party before accompanying us up the bell tower. As keen bell ringers it was important for us to have some photos taken in the ringing chamber with our fellow bell ringers. Despite it being a small and fairly dark room, Mark was able to take a lovely photo of 20 people. During our evening reception, Mark was able to arrange a group photo of all our 150 guests in a matter of minutes as well as the ceilidh dancing, really capturing the fun. We would highly recommend Mark to other couples.

Perfect wedding, amazing photos, Thank you, Mark!

Mark was absolutely brilliant as our wedding photographer! From the moment he arrived, his professionalism and expertise were clear. He knew exactly what he was doing, effortlessly guiding us and our guests to ensure every important moment was captured. Mark managed to include everyone we wanted in the photos, which meant so much to us. The results were beyond our expectations—each shot perfectly encapsulates the joy, love, and emotion of our special day. His creativity and attention to detail are remarkable, and the final collection of photos is simply stunning. Mark also made the entire process smooth and enjoyable, allowing us to focus on celebrating without any stress. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and are so grateful to have these beautiful memories to look back on. We highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and truly exceptional wedding photographer. Thank you, Mark!

Wonderful all around

Mark is wonderful! A great photographer and a wonderful human being. Mark has been referred to us, a Swiss bride and an American groom, from our wedding venue Head of Events at the Hartwell House in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England. Right from the beginning at our first meeting, Mark was very kind and so enthusiastic about being the photographer on our big day that we felt very welcome and very well taken care of. He provided guidance as to how professional photography works during a wedding, explained his personal style and provided samples. Our request for less saturated photos was warmly received. We booked Mark for 9 hours on our wedding day as well as during the drinks reception of our Welcome Dinner the night before the wedding. Both were a huge success! Mark was both invisible and able to take lively photos as well as worked in a way that our guests loved him and his photos! This continued on the actual wedding day when he was around to take photos of every moment of that day whether naturally or staged. After midnight it was fun to have a drink with him since he by then belonged to us! We are very happy with our photos and the wonderful memories they’ll provide for us forever! We couldn’t have had more luck and would recommend him for any occasion! Thank you, Mark!

Mark did a fantastic job and managed to make us all look fabulous!

Before we even met Mark. His reputation preceded him. We visited Missenden Abbey to book our wedding and while in reception We came across Marks Album on the table. It was very obvious that Mark was more than familiar with the venue and so it made sense to us to book him for our wedding day. His pricing was also very reasonable when compared with him to other photographers. He had packages to fit most budgets.

I can confirm that he did not disappoint on the day. Prior to meeting Mark, he called us to discuss what we wanted from our photographs. We did not want to spend the whole day Posing for photographs. We just wanted to really enjoy ourselves and wanted Mark to capture everybody In their most natural way. Mark managed to do this along with coordinating everybody for the traditional family staged photos with ease and poise. Everyone remarked on how professional he was.

I have looked at the results of the photos quite a few times now and the more I look, the more I like. Mark did a fantastic job and managed to make us all look fabulous!

Seamless experience, and beautiful memories to treasure.

When first meeting Mark it is clear how passionate he is about his work and finding the perfect shots to really capture your day - and the proof is in the beautiful images you will receive to treasure!
Mark is so easy to work with, a friendly man always willing to work around our busy schedules to arrange a meeting, and knowing our venues well he had a seamless plan in place to work alongside the flow of our day.

Thank you so much!

Stunning work. Fabulous service. Talented man.

We were lucky enough to secure Mark Sisley for our wedding at Missenden Abbey in September.
We spoke with many photographers during our numerous visits to wedding fairs and were instantly struck by the vibrancy of colours in Mark’s work. Upon a look though one of his sample albums, we were confident that we had found our photographer….. before having even met the man himself!
After meeting with Mark closer to our big day, we were confident that we had not made a mistake in haste! He was so lovely, professional and brimming with creative ideas. Together, we decided on what would work best for us and we are so thankful for his suggestions, including a photogenic confetti aisle!
Mark took time to walk us to his recommended photo spots, and although he assured us of how stunning the shots would look, the beautiful results completely exceeded our expectations! We had a perfect mix of natural looking staged photos and the complete fly on the wall photos.
We really are so thrilled with Mark’s work but now face the problem of choosing the best of an amazing bunch to frame and display!
We could not recommend Mark highly enough to anyone wanting natural, vibrant photographic diary of your special day.

Holly & Maciej's wedding - Windsor - Sept 2023


Mark has now been photographer at two of our family weddings – we love his artistic style, his attention to detail and his enthusiasm! On your wedding day it can feel so overwhelming that you forget “the plan!” But, Mark’s organisational skills made the whole process on the day run smoothly as he made sure we got all of the shots we’d asked for including sunset shots (Mark quietly took us away for 5 mins during the dessert – it was so slick and professional I don’t think anyone even noticed which had been my worry!) Mark’s experience is obvious, he works tirelessly, and his enthusiasm for his work is contagious. Mark’s style Is very unique and creative which we love, particularly his night-time shots! Thank you so much Mark!

Best You Can Get

Booking Mark for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made during wedding planning. He is extremely professional and skilful, and efficient with communications. He is also considerate of our wishes in what kind of photos we want, and aware of what we need to do in order for him to achieve the best shots. We had lots of children at the wedding and it’s wonderful to see how well Mark has captured them having fun too. Both the staged and informal photos from the day are wonderful to see and we’re so happy to have been able to work with him.

Brilliant use of colour - just what we wanted!

Mark truly exceeded our expectations in capturing our special day.

What sets him apart as a photographer is his remarkable talent for working with colour. With our bold and vibrant tropical colour scheme, we were initially concerned about how it would translate in photos, but he handled it with finesse. The way he brought out the richness of our colors in every shot was beautiful.

Moreover, his communication skills were top-notch. Throughout the entire process, from the initial consultations to the day of the wedding and even after, he maintained clear and open lines of communication. It made us feel confident and relaxed knowing that he understood our vision and was there to execute it flawlessly.

We couldn't have asked for a better professional to capture the vivid essence of our special day.

Like a dream

My wedding planning was quite different with getting married over 200 miles from where I live. This meant my vendors have to be both flexible and patient. Mark was these two qualities and so much more. Also, I was very particular about who my photographer was going to be due to my venue being a tithebarn with large grounds. So I wanted a photographer who could do it justuce. From the moment we met him at a wedding fayre to the end of the wedding he was friendly, passionate, understanding and completely and utterly wonderful. Our engagemwnt photo shoot was just perfect and he helped us so much to get the photos looking just right. He travelled over 200 miles on the big day and stayed for ten hours. Despite the venue being brand new to him, he quickly adapted and took some incredible photos of the venue. His attention to detail and his kindness won the hearts of so many of my guests. Two months later and everyone still talks about how amazing he was and how he blended in so well. He was on hand to change the lost of photos we originally wanted and whenever I asked for a certain photo he did it straight away. What made him even more special was how he took so many photos of our guests and allowed us to mingle rather than spending hours upon hours posing for photos. He was even on hand to help with the little details like my mother-in-law's corsage. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you Mark for everything you have done for us. You were a complete dream.

Seamless experience with clear sims

Our experience with mark was seamless, he met with us via zoom before the day which was very convenient for us. He captured our day beautifully and was there at every moment to get natural shots as well as staged photos that we can treasure for ever. Mark is confident to direct guests in a polite and clear way.
We have received a small pre-gallery already and are really looking forward to the full had over shortly. We love the bold colour of the shots and how Mark’s style fit with the summery vibe of our wedding.
Thank you for all your efforts.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
