Mark Seymour, Berkshire wedding photographer, is proud of his relationship with his couples and reputation with wedding venues, for his stunning reportage wedding photography, his excellent customer service and his personal attention to detail. Mark is published in magazines world wide and held in high regard by the wedding photography industry.
He has a string or awards to his name, but Mark is humbled by the kind words that he regularly receives from brides and believes that they are his finest achievements and way of recommending his services as a documentary wedding photographer.
“We engaged Mark for our wedding photography on recommendation. What a fantastic recommendation that turned out to be! He took a portfolio of stunning and unique photographs, both formal and informal. We asked that there was not too much time spent posing for photos. He took this on board and whilst all the expected and necessary shots of the day were there, his informal capture of our day was exceptional. His ability to be unobtrusive and practically unnoticed, led to totally natural and spectacular photography.
Somehow he managed to capture everyone in some way and his emphasis on the major players was spot on. He seemed to know who all the family were without being told. He came to the house on the morning of the wedding and after being told to ignore him, I can honestly say I was unaware of most of the photos being taken, before the actually posed ones. Working with him was a pleasure, he is friendly, professional, efficient and an outstanding photographer. We asked him to compile our wedding album and he came up with the story of our day in its most creative form. We are delighted and can cannot recommend him highly enough.”

“Mark was happy to discuss the hard copy album with me, and willing to change from our initial order when I decided that a purple linen cover would match our colour theme better than faux-leather. The USB and hard-copy album both arrived safely and in good time. I asked Mark to arrange the photos in the album in whatever way he thought worked best, and could not have been happier with the result. In hiring a wedding photographer, my husband and I were hoping for art rather than simple snapshots, and art is definitely what we got. We are very glad we invested in Mark’s skills to document our wedding day, and would be happy to recommend Mark as a wedding photographer, both for his helpfulness and for his skill as an artist.”

“After searching for a little while for a wedding photographer to shoot our special day, we eventually whittled it down to two people. We gave interviews to both photographers through Skype and wanted to see and hear what they would both bring to our wedding day.
Mark came across straight away as the more passionate about his profession, he asked us questions about our party, about the venue, but most importantly he asked about us as a couple, how we met, and most importantly how we would like the day to be remembered. As soon as we got off Skype we knew it had to be Mark, he understood us and his impressive resumé left us with zero doubts that he would be the photographer to capture all our beautiful memories on our wedding day.
We booked him the next day!
On the day of our wedding Mark was incredible, not only did he capture beautiful pictures beyond our wildest dreams, but he did it without imposing himself onto us or our wedding guests, he seemed to be everywhere to capture every moment but did it without being noticed, he also worked seamlessly with our Videographer during the ceremony and first dance, both of them seemed to be in the optimum places to capture the right images but never each other.
Looking back at our pictures now the first thing that happens is we smile..
Mark captured our wedding in a way which truly amazed my wife and I, it cannot be described in words what the images we have of our special day does to us, only in emotions can it be understood, and even though months have passed since that day we always smile and get a little emotional at all the incredible photos. All our photos now hang proudly around our home which always gets great compliments from visiting family and friends.
Mark is truly an amazing photographer at the highest level of his profession. We would both not hesitate one second in recommending Mark to be your Wedding Photographer.”

Thanks once again, you’ve done a fantastic job.”

“I’m so glad I invested in Mark Seymour photography because his work is absolutely stunning. As a makeup artist finding a photographer who pays attention to the little details was so important. Mark spends quality time with you during your pre-wedding shoot really understanding how you work as a couple and this is so important for the wedding day photos to tell a story about the couple. His eye for detail is like no other. His passion for photography is like no other. And the result of the photos is like no other. Your wedding day photos are invaluable. You are looking your best that day and you need a photographer who understands you fully.
On the day of the wedding Mark was so discreet in taking his photos which is what we wanted. He was always there getting in the thick of the Jewish dancing but we never realised he was there. The organisation of the family photos is a VERY stressful time. With Mark it was a breeze!!!!!!!!!! He is so organised with how to get the great shots – no fuss, no waste of time. He is extremely creative and will listen to what style you are looking for and go with what you want to the point where he was on the floor on his back taking a photo of us which has to be one of our favourite images!! You also want direction from your photographer on your big day; Mark knows what he is doing – always communicating with you and also he makes you feel so relaxed.
There really are far too many incredibly beautiful photos to choose from we are stuck on what to do – we want them all!
Above all – Mark Seymour tells a story through his photos. There’s an flowing emotion running through each and every one of them. When you look back through the photos you re-live the night. This is so hard to find in a photographer. Mark captures a story to never be forgotten. Thank you for the most wonderful images we will cherish forever ”

“Having spent over 35 years in the photographic world, as a model, as a wife to the late great Bob Carlos Clarke and more recently the co-owner of The Little Black Gallery in Chelsea, I was suddenly faced with finding a photographer for my own wedding. Planning a wedding is complicated and fraught with endless decisions. The photographer has a difficult role. He is not family, or even friend but has to mingle with family on a very special private day and take photographs which have to stand the test of time.
I had met Mark Seymour on a couple of occasions when he worked on projects with my late husband, Bob always said that Mark was the best in the business, and he was right. Weddings are complex to photograph, getting the right balance is difficult, you have to trust the photographer and you must give them freedom to capture moments in time that can never be repeated. Whatever plans you have for your special day, your dress, the church,the reception, your guests, if you don’t get it caught on film forever you can never relive it.
For me, Mark was fantastic. I gave him a very open brief, only a few group shots of family, and then I just set him free. The proof is in the pictures, they are amazing and every single person that has seen them says that they can feel and relive the day. That for me fulfils the brief . Anyone who is fortunate to get Mark Seymour for their wedding has made the right decision.”
