Mark Leonard Photography

What an absolutely outstanding photographer. For someone who is not comfortable in front of the camera at all. Mark made us feel at ease as soon as we first enquired. Our wedding day you wouldn’t or even known he was there but yet got every single photo we asked for. His professionalism was second to none. My bridesmaids mentioned to me how amongst all the chaos he appeared to capture the most beautiful moments all while stepping over makeup and dresses! His calm and relaxing demeanour my guests mentioned to us constantly. Mark thank you so much for capturing our beautiful wedding day, we cannot wait to see the photos.

We were so lucky to have Mark with us to document our wedding day. He made us feel so at ease and relaxed, even though neither of us is a natural in front of the camera. He was discreet and unobtrusive during the small intimate moments, and made the most of every opportunity to capture the joy and the emotions of the day. The hardest part will be trying to decide which photos we want to showcase in albums and prints, there are so many amazing ones! Thank you so much, Mark, you have given us so many beautiful memories to look back on.

Being able to have incredible photos of such an important day was really important to us from the start; and from the start we knew Mark was the perfect fit for us. So calm, relaxed and kind, as two people who are fairly awkward when it comes to 'posing', Mark was a magician at capturing the most beautiful shots and moments between the two of us as well as our guests. He was also really reassuring about the predicted bad weather in the days leading up to the day and gave us lots of potentials for shots if it rained (although the weather gods smiled on us that day and the sun shone throughout; can't confirm if that was down to Mark but maybe his wizardry really does extend to the sky)! The photos were everything we could have hoped for and more and there is noone else we would have wanted to shoot the day. (Also thank you for climbing up about 100000x steps to the top of the ancient watch tower, now that is dedication). If you are looking for relaxed, happy and joyful shots then do not hesitate; we couldn't recommend Mark more. Thank you so much.

Mark took some great shots on our big day. As many of the reviews have already said, so many to choose from. In the best possible way, Mark blended into the background and has got shots from so many angles and I hadn't noticed him being there in that moment at all. Sign of a good photographer! He took pictures of both myself and my partner getting ready at different venues and tried to make it work pre-ceremony and was good at keeping to time. Thank you Mark for the wonderful photos. We will always have a beautiful record of our day thanks to you.

Mark shot our wedding and we couldn't recommend him highly enough. He will capture what your day was really like, both for you and your guests. He is unobtrusive and yet still managed to get so many amazing shots – to the point where we struggled so much to cut our photos down to our favourite 100 for an album. I can confidently say that we have the best wedding pictures of anyone we know; a fact that our married friends have been forced to admit. If you want lots of formal shots this isn’t the photographer for you, and we actually regret bothering to try formal shots, the candids are just much nicer. Mark stayed for the entire day, which few photographers are willing to do. He sorted out a second shooter for us, and one who matched his style so everything flows nicely. We got prints through Mark which are very high quality, dirt cheap and arrived quickly. Mark beat expectation on turnaround time with a couple of weeks to spare on 750 photos. You get a private link to a gallery which holds your photos for a year and from where you can order the prints, as well as a USB in a nice box. We got an Engagement Shoot done with him before the wedding, and were glad that we did (had practically no nice photos of us as a couple and now we have loads). He’s quick responding to the many emails that go back and forth in the run-up to such an event, and also is a really nice guy which should count for something.
