PRESERVATION
IMAGE DELIVERY & KEEPSAKE CREATION
Recently, I stumbled upon a thought-provoking quote that deeply resonated with me:
"Millennials will be the last generation to have their childhood photos exclusively in physical form."
Intrigued by that statement and recognizing the importance of preserving precious moments beyond digital formats, I've assembled a selection of keep-sakes that seamlessly fit into your wedding packages. These enhancements are meticulously crafted to elevate your experience and immortalize your one-of-a-kind love story. I aspire to be more than just your wedding photographer; I’m the guardian of your cherished memories with your loved ones.
I Think Your Wedding Deserves More Than A Few Likes & Comments, Wouldn’t You Agree?

WORDS FROM PAST COUPLES
Mariel & Paul
Everything about working with Marcus is LOVELY - from the first phone call, to our engagement photos, to our elopement photos. I was initially anxious about hiring a photographer, especially since (1) I had no idea where to start and (2) we were eloping so these were going to be *the* thing to mark the day. He was my first phone call and within 5 minutes of talking to him I was sold. I only had two broad (vague) ideas for what I wanted and he took them and turned them into plans I could be excited about.
Marcus was nothing but responsive and encouraging through everything. He was ready with new ideas and managed to keep me excited when I'd have otherwise been really stressed. I’m not sure anyone else would have been so flexible while also staying so warm and kind. And of course, the photos are gorgeous. He manages to talk to you and make you laugh and feel like you’re just hanging out while also capturing a thousand (literally) photos.
When we need photos for anything in the future, we’re calling Marcus. 12/10 recommend. Giving him glowing reviews is going to be my new hobby, and if you work with him it’ll be yours too.
Alexa & Jesse
We can’t say enough positive things about Marcus. Right away, he was friendly, communicative, and helpful – we hired him before we’d thought much about the way the wedding would go, and he talked us through several possible wedding timelines and what his role in each would look like. We also did engagement photos with him, which let us get to know him a little better. Both of us can look awkward in photos, but he made us so comfortable that we both look relaxed and happy.
On our wedding day, Marcus was a tour de force; he helped keep everyone on schedule while still keeping it fun and light, and was just a truly joyful presence. We just got our photos back last week and they look great! We’re still choosing which ones we want printed in our album (sorry Marcus!) because so many of them turned out really well. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a very talented photographer who is exceptionally well organized and more than capable of taking charge when needed!
