Marcus is the best by far. He is patient, sweet, on time, thoughtful and creative! My husband and I had him photograph our wedding and he even did our engagement shoot. We instantly felt so comfortable and trusted him. It was the best feeling not having to stress out about it during the wedding because I knew he would do great. We got our photos back and they are AMAZING. He captured the moments perfectly and we are so thankful to have met him. Highly recommend
Our entire experience with Marcus was exceptional from start to finish. Even on our first phone call we felt such a solid connection and felt like Marcus truly understood our style and ideas, and was excited about our unique point of view. When we met in person and began the process, it was clear he knew what kind of photos we wanted, and took time to do exciting and unique shots that made us feel celebrated. We can't recommend M. Fort highly enough! It was one of the most exciting parts of the day!
I've never used a photographer before so I wasn't sure what to expect. But, Marcus went above and beyond whatever expectations I had. He came highly recommended from the venue we eloped at and we're grateful he was able to shoot our special day. He's an amazing photographer! Our photos came out vividly breath-taking! He arrived prepared way ahead of schedule and he was so respectful and down to earth. He even brought us champagne which was a really sweet gesture.
Throughout the entire photoshoot with my husband and especially the one on one shots, he made me feel extremely comfortable and confident, despite my insecurities. His overall direction on how to pose and how to also emulate a certain expression in front of the lens, was beyond helpful. Lastly, even though my ceremony ran a little behind schedule, he was patient with me. He even gave me a lift to my venue when my uber cancelled on me. Talk about a gentleman!
His communication is excellent and his prices are beyond reasonable. When we finally got our wedding photos, the amount of thoughtfulness that went into the packaging and the handwritten note was so elegant and beautiful. If you are in need of an outstanding photographer, please book Marcus Fort, you will definitely be satisfied that you did. My husband and I hope to use his services again in the future for another milestone!
Marcus has shot almost every important milestone in my little families life. From our baby shower, to our engagement, then our engagement shoot, to our rehearsal dinner, and then our wedding! He doesn’t miss a beat or a detail. He comes extremely prepared and makes everyone so comfortable that it makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. Along with his incredible photography skills and his attention to detail, his communication is amazing. You won’t go through your shoot planning process with any unanswered questions or missed messages. His work is put up all over my house and though they’re special moments the way he caught them is what makes them even more special. You won’t regret booking Marcus for your special day or any other shoot for that matter!
I couldn't imagine a better photographer than Marcus! I've never had photos taken so I wasn't sure what to expect but he made this a great experience. Marcus had so many different poses and knew the most gorgeous spots. They came out SO beautiful!
Our family asked Marcus Fort to photograph our family reunion. Marcus arrived on time and prepared with his equipment. He asked the family for input on what we were looking for in photographs. Marcus heard our input and proceeded to take candid pictures of the family and formal pictures we requested in a professional manner. We were all very excited and pleased to see the outcome of the photography session. Thank You Marcus for coming through with the photos for our family.
I truly can not recommend Marcus enough! He went above and beyond for us in every single way. From waking up at 3 am to catch our sunrise engagement photos, to bringing us champagne on our wedding day he really did go out of his way. Marcus is incredibly out of this world talented and the kindest person ever! From his attention to detail to all of his thoughtful touches, we could not be happier. He captured all the moments we never wanted to forget perfectly and all of our photos came out breathtaking. If you are in need of a photographer for any special event I highly encourage you to look no further and hire Marcus.
