Mark Nortcliffe Photography

If you are looking to book the best photographer to capture your wedding then look no further!Due to COVID and postponing our wedding to August 2022, we were unable to work with the photographer we initially hired. However, she personally recommended Mark. I am so grateful that she did.After looking at Mark’s incredible work I reached out to him; he suggested having a video chat with me and my now husband with a glass of something nice. This video call allowed us to get to know each other, share our vision for our wedding pictures and ask questions. The call gave us the perfect opportunity to see whether Mark was right for us, and vice versa. Fortunately for us, we all got along perfectly. From this friendly call, we knew Mark was the photographer for us and went ahead with booking his services.From the moment we booked Mark he was communicative and professional. Personally, I felt that planning a wedding was overwhelming and stressful at times. Mark helped me significantly reduce any stress and worry. He knows exactly what he’s doing and even plans the order of the day with you, which is helpful when it comes to running on the day (you don’t need that stress)!About a month before our wedding we had a couple’s shoot/engagement shoot. This is when we met Mark in person for the first time. I remember being nervous and shy (which drastically changed by the end of the shoot). This couple’s shoot gave Mark the perfect opportunity to teach us the positions we would get into on the wedding day. In addition to this, the shoot enabled us to further get to know Mark. He made us feel comfortable and matched our energy. After that shoot, we left feeling confident and connected. We knew Mark was going to be brilliant on our wedding day.The day before our wedding Mark called to explain that his original assistant photographer was unable to attend due to a family emergency. However, before Mark had called me he had already actioned a solution by arranging another assistant photographer and had brought them up to speed. This is a great example of how Mark reduces any potential stressors. He is truly professional and reliable. You are safe with Mark.On our wedding day, Mark’s assistant was based with my now husband and Mark was with me and the bridal party. As soon as Mark arrived he brought an encouraging hug and enthusiasm. He also kept other vendors to the planned times, which was incredibly helpful of him to take that off my plate and enabled me to enjoy the morning.Throughout our wedding day, Mark captured the most magnificent pictures. He is an expert at capturing traditional wedding images alongside natural, candid pictures. We have so many wonderful pictures of ourselves and our guests enjoying the day. Mark even captured my and my husband’s race inside the inflatable obstacle course!I am so thankful to have had Mark there on our big day. He is very personable and made the day run smoothly whilst capturing the moments you dream about.After the wedding, Mark sent us some teaser pictures within a week or so. Our initial reaction was to cry. They were perfect in every way.As per Mark’s advice, when we received our full gallery we scheduled a date night to go through them. We cried again as we relived the day. Every picture is incredible and the quality is spectacular. I love them all. There’s not a single bad picture.If you need any more assurance, then look at Mark’s gallery and then at all the awards he has won. He even won an award for one of our pictures, which I’m glad he received because it’s my favourite picture of the day.

From the moment we met Mark it was a no brainer that we wanted him to capture our wedding day. Mark has an exquisite attention to detail, he is very knowledgeable about his work and he is so friendly and approachable. It was always lovely speaking to Mark, we felt so relaxed around him and that meant we managed to have some beautiful natural photos. Our online album and USB were delivered fairly quickly (considering the endless weddings that Mark was working), everything is high quality and to perfection. Mark goes above and beyond, from helping advise us on timings of the day, to doing the strap up on my wedding shoes for me!We now have the difficult job of trying to narrow down our favourite photos to a smaller group for the albums- we just love them all!We would highly recommend Mark and if you are able to we recommend the York or Cambridge collection because having the engagement shoot gave us a practice before the big day!

Cannot recommend Mark enough! From meeting Mark at a local Wedding Fair to collecting our Wedding photo album, his professionalism, service and knowledge are second to none.Nothing was too much trouble. We had to reschedule our Wedding three times due to covid and every-time, it was no problem at all. Mark was always available with any answers or suggestions throughout the whole wedding planning process.On the big day, he most definitely is a key member of the wedding group you need around you, helping to keep everything flowing as you have planned.Honestly an all round great guy and hope to keep in touch with him.

When you book Mark as a your wedding photographer, you get an unique service but you get a lot more than that. Our wedding had to be rescheduled 3 times because of Covid: 2020, 2021 and finally 2022 and Mark was extremely supportive and happy to give us more dates.In every reschedule, we planned everything around Mark’s availability as we could not imagine a day without him. Our families who do not speak English, they were highly impressed by Mark’s help and support during the day.When you book Mark as a photographer you get an advisor, a wedding expert and a friend for life. We will never forget Mark’s enthusiasm and positivity.No review will ever express the experience you get when Mark attends to your wedding day.

We were absolutely thrilled with our Wedding photography from Mark, he captured our day perfectly and has given us such great photos to treasure.He was a pleasure to deal with from the moment we made the first enquiry, assuring us with his knowledge and experience in how the day would run.Mark was a brilliant asset on the day, making both us and the guests feel totally at ease.Would highly recommend! Thanks Mark!Laura & Anthony xx

Mark is an outstanding professional. From the moment we met over coffee to discuss our wedding , several hours later we knew that we had come across a ‘gem’. Mark was referred to us and it was the best referral ever. It felt like Mark was just one of the guests and that we had known him years!. He takes his photography seriously and this came out in the wedding portfolio. We now have many beautiful memories of our wedding day. Mark you are incredible and we simply love you and we have gained a true friend. We would not hesitate to recommend Mark. Whatever your event, I can guarantee you that Mark will exceed your expectations. Mark is not your average photographer, he is exceptional in every way. We both cannot thank you enough.

From the moment we saw Mark's website and had our first call with him, we knew he would have been the perfect fit as our photographer at our wedding. He is so professional and goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and takes the most amazing photos!He is so incredibly organised and adds lovely gestures along the way and truly knows how to capture your day - so many of our guests commented on how amazing Mark was on the day too.If you're looking for a wedding photographer, do not hesitate to book Mark - he is brilliant!

Mark is a spectacular wedding photographer. He took incredible photos and was such a lovely person that we would have wanted to invite him to our wedding as a guest! Mark took the time to get to know us before the day and was such a source of guidance, wisdom, and great ideas in the planning phases. He knows just how to set up photos so that they look natural and candid, and the shoots with him were so much fun. The final wedding albums that Mark produced are a gorgeous memory and really tell the story of the day. We highly recommend him.

Mark is not only an outstanding photographer but also a friendly and extremely helpful one! He made us feel comfortable and at ease on the wedding day by being so friendly and approachable.His preferred style of natural shots meant we didn’t even notice he was taking photos all the time and he felt more like a guest than a photographer! You can tell how much he cares about his work and ensuring the photographs are not just taken but done to a high standard.From the first time we met Mark we knew he was the perfect photographer for us he was friendly and explained his way of working and the process to us without pressuring us into booking him.Mark always went above and beyond for us from providing timings for a smooth day to sending us our preview album back within 48 hours.He also adds little touches in to make sure nothing is forgotten.Mark is an amazing and a professional photographer who we couldn’t recommend more and if we could we would give him more than 5 stars! Thank you Mark!
