About this vendor
I’m a wine country native and learned the photographic arts from my family. My early travels and studies in the art & humanities opened my horizons to culture and diversity, plus I'm of mixed ethnicity. I really enjoy photographing weddings, because it has influenced me in a variety of unexpected and good ways. Each wedding has their own uniqueness, personality, and beauty. My life experience in wedding, portrait, & event photography has been a very gratifying and fulfilling journey. My style is candid & fun while being present for creativity. I’ve been professionally photographing in the wine country, greater bay area, and beyond for over 15yrs, and I’m insured. I can arrive before your ceremony to photograph the final preparations, details, candids of guest arriving, and a first look if you wish to have one. I lightly direct the family & wedding party photos in a fun and relaxed manner. I photograph casual group and couple photos with and without the both of you throughout your wedding day, and I’m efficient so you can enjoy your wedding to the fullest. You will receive all the high resolution images from your wedding after I customize them with color and b&w filters that you can share, print, and make your own wedding albums from. I will also touchup your favorite 50 images for free. I do offer custom flush mounted wedding albums which I design myself if you are interested. I'm offering a free engagement session including all the high-resolution images if you book the Diamond Wedding Collection before June 30th, 2025!
Have a beautiful day!

Marc photographed our May 2024 wedding up in Sonoma County. When we walked through the venue together before the wedding, we were immediately struck by his high attention to detail...
, as he explained places he would be throughout the ceremony, strategies he would take to quickly relocate and get shots at critical angles, and more. It gave us a lot of confidence that we were in good hands with an experienced professional.
We had a pretty decent sized wedding (150 total), and other photographers we talked to were not confident they could shoot this big of a wedding without an assistant photographer. Marc assured us that he had done weddings of this size before as the sole photographer, and that it wouldn't be any problem to do it again - and he was right!
On the day of, Marc was fun to work with. He is a very upbeat, high energy, and lighthearted type of person, which made it really enjoyable for us as a couple to do our photo shoots with him. We had never had a professional photo shoot of us before and weren't totally sure whether that kind of thing would be stressful or not, but Marc made it really fun and easy - something that we look back on fondly.
Finally - the photos! We are over the moon with the quality of the photos. Marc captured every moment of the wedding with great detail. Between the guests, setting, decor, ceremony, dance, cocktail hour, dinner, band, wedding party photos, and more - he captured great shots of every element of that day in a way that we are grateful for.
All in all, we would highly recommend working with Marc to anyone looking for a wedding photographer, especially in the Sonoma County area. He has a real talent for understanding and capturing the light and beauty of that area, and he's fun to work with.
My husband and I were first introduced to Marc’s work when we toured Vine Hill House and looked through a book of one of his weddings there. We were instantly enthralled by his sty...
le and how beautifully he captured the scenery and emotions of the couple’s day. We ended up working with Marc for both our engagement shoot in May 2024 and our wedding this past May, and we could not have been happier with that decision. Marc was very flexible and easy to work with, let our personalities shine, and struck the perfect balance of directing us while also letting us be our authentic selves. His eye for incorporating the surroundings and everything else that goes into perfectly capturing the moment is truly incredible. Both of us hate being the center of attention or having our picture taken, yet he managed to get some unbelievable photos that reflected both our relationship and the magic of the day and scenery around us. It was also really important to us that our vendors be LGBTQ-friendly, especially our photographer who would be working with our wedding party, and all our party members really enjoyed working with him and appreciated his inclusivity. He set a beautiful tone/energy for our day with all our guests and left us with the most stunning photos to reflect back on. Our friends and family are blown away by the final results just as much as we are! For these reasons and many more, we could not be happier with the decision to work with Marc.
Choosing Marc Blondin as our photographer for our wedding day was the best decision we made! From the first consultation to the final retrieval of the photos, Marc was professional...
, communicative and so easy to work with. At one point I shared a really special moment with my Dad when tears started flowing like crazy, Marc stepped out to give us some space. We'll treasure these photos forever and can't recommend Marc Blondin Photography highly enough for anyone looking for a talented and reliable wedding photographer!
*the photos attached are at a lower resolution due to resolution constraints, the final photos were of impeccable quality
Marc was so great on our wedding day!! He jumped right into the action, brought humor, creativity and so much energy to every moment. We are so grateful we found him through our ve...
nues preferred vendors list. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting spectacular photos and an all around great vibe. Thank you Marc!!
I couldn’t be happier choosing Marc to photograph our wedding! From the very beginning, he was incredibly professional and attentive, making sure he understood exactly what we want...
ed. He photographed our engagement photos too and even rescheduled at no extra cost when the weather was too foggy for the scenery we wanted. On the big day, Marc blended seamlessly into the background while capturing every precious moment beautifully. The photos are nothing short of spectacular—each one highlights the love and magic of the day and perfectly captures the emotion and joy we felt. We’ve received countless compliments on the quality of the images and how they captured each moment of our wedding. If you’re looking for someone who is not only talented but also dedicated and passionate about their craft, I highly recommend Marc Blondin.
Marc was our photographer on our wedding last November 2023, we decided to go with him because we saw his candid shots, captured moments are the kind of photos we want for our wedd...
ing. He replies to our inquiries fast and was very professional. While he charged us for a set amount of hours, he arrived early and stayed late for no additional charge. We could tell he was passionate about capturing the best shots even in the moment.
Marc was incredible! He was so detail oriented and was everywhere all at once! He made me feel so comfortable and confident on our wedding day. Really made it such an easy going ex...
perience and very enjoyable! Would definitely recommend him to all my friends and family looking for a stellar photographer!
We truly could not have chosen a better wedding photographer. Marc has a gift and we are so blessed to have worked with him. As the bride, I was very selective when it came to my w...
edding team of venders. I wanted people who were collaborative, passionate about their work, and kindhearted. Marc checked all the boxes and more. His many years of experience paired with his energetic and kind personality, allowed us to feel so comfortable and at ease, knowing that he was capturing every special moment. Marc is not just a photographer, but a storyteller with a camera. I wholeheartedly recommend Marc to any couple looking for a wedding photographer who will exceed all expectations. Thank you so much Marc for capturing our special day that we now get to re-live through the most breathtaking photographs.
Marc was the best! He has so many years of experience and it shows when we received our photos back. He was able to capture the posed moments as well as a ton of candid shots that ...
are so very dear to us! Looking through them we aren't sure if he ever took a break as he captured everything! Thank you Marc for our amazing photos.
When we first hired Marc we chose him out of the crowd of other photographers because of his apparent ability to take gorgeous candid photos at events. He delivered in that respect...
above and beyond what we could have hoped for. On top of that, Marc lent his years of experience towards creating amazing couple photos. The shots we posed for would not have been so amazing if they weren't taken under the gentle guiding hand of Marc.
Overall, the wealth of beautiful moments captures by Marc made him the highest quality purchase of the event. His upbeat attitude and clever photographer's eye would be missed if not included at our wedding.
Nobody loves their job more than Marc! At one point during the dance party, I looked at Marc and he was dancing, singing, and shooting pictures! He was hands-down the best photogra...
pher for our wedding. His bright energy is so infectious and his work is amazing!
We found Marc from our venue--there was portfolio of his pictures from a previous wedding and I fell in love with his style. I then learned that he took all those pics during a blackout, so I was sold. I didn't even look at other photographers. We started communicating a year before our wedding. Marc was very responsive and detailed in his answers. When we met him in person, I was so happy with our choice. He just exudes positivity. On the day of our wedding, our guests commented how energetic Marc was, running around taking pics everywhere. We even threw him for a loop with a prank and a table dash. He was onboard for everything and we have the best pics to prove it. Oh, and somehow he got all the young flower girls and ring bearer to pose and smile big.
Looking at our photos, not only do we get to re-live our night, but also for the first time, we're seeing all the other fun moments that we missed. I don't think I'll ever get tired at looking at our pics. Thanks so much Marc! Hire him now!
Such an amazing photographer. My entire family complimented his energy the day of our wedding day. I do not love my photo taken but he made me feel so comfortable about it. We rece...
ived our pictures sooner than expected and they were more beautiful than I could have imagined.
Marc truly is wonderful to work with. You can just tell that he loves what he does. He brings such energy, exuberance and professionalism to the experience. We had a small wedding ...
on my parents property in wine country and I wouldn't say that we were the most organized bride and groom, but Marc was really flexible with us and made sure that we came out of our event with photos that we will cherish forever. I would recommend Marc to any bride. He is easy to work with and his prices are beyond reasonable for the quality of photos he delivers.
Marc was incredibly easy to work with! He was professional, made the day less stressful, funny, attentive and sent us an amazing set of photos. Our guests loved him. We appreciated...
that he gave us feedback on what was working and what wasn't, but always with a funny comment or something lighthearted. Definitely recommend!
Marc is an amazingly talented photographer as well as an absolute gem of a person who you should have photograph your next life event! Marc did our engagement photos and wedding ph...
otos for our July 2022 wedding. My husband and I are not exactly comfortable having our photos taken and we were nervous before our engagement shoot that we’d be awkward, but Marc made all those worries disappear. He made us feel so comfortable in just being us and made us laugh so many times, which made our photos come out so naturally joyful. He was also amazing with our dog, getting some priceless photos of her. Plus we never once felt rushed, you can tell he loves what he does. For our wedding day, Marc was prompt, professional, and brought his great personality which made everyone feel relaxed! He was so organized going through the group photos and especially the large family shots that require a lot of cat wrangling to make sure everyone is in view. When we got our photos back, we were so happy with how our day was captured! He did an amazing job capturing the little moments, the details, and the emotions of the day. Thank you so much Marc for being a part of our wedding and for the wonderful memories you captured!
Marc was a wonderful photographer for our wedding! He is professional and did a great job keeping everyone on track so that we could get the photos I wanted. He also got amazing ca...

I am so happy Marc was recommended to us! He was incredibly professional, responsive and thorough before the wedding day. On the day of our wedding he went above and beyond to make...
the process comfortable and fun. We had a huge issue with our caterer which delayed the schedule of our wedding and Marc went out of his way to make sure he still got all the important shots. I cannot thank him enough for how fantastic he was during the wedding. When we got the photos back they were beautiful and exactly what we wanted. I would have Marc shoot another event in a heartbeat.
We can't recommend Marc more highly for your wedding photos! We worked with him for both our engagement photos and the wedding photos and were super pleased with both. Marc has a g...
reat and relaxing demeanor for the grooms out there who are less than thrilled about taking photos- he makes it really fun and puts everyone at ease! His prices are also very reasonable compared to some of the other options in the area.
Marc was the most wonderful choice of wedding photographer to capture our special day. He took the time to walk the venue with me and helped us come up with a reasonable ‘day of’ t...
imeline. On the day of our wedding he seamlessly captured our family pictures with such organization(which could have been pure chaos) He also has such a great eye for the little pictures of the shoes and wedding bands and dress. When we got our wedding pictures from him, we were amazed and in awe of his attention to detail and his ability to capture every single memorable moment.
Thanks Marc!
Marc was a wonderful professional and got amazing shots of our day. He was a dream to work with and worth every cent. It so hard to chose our favorite pictures because they're all ...

reativity shine through his photos. We have been looking back at our photos putting our album together and it's hard not to choose them ALL due to his quality of work. I can't wait to hire him for future events that we will have - hire Marc you can't go wrong!!! Thank you again Marc for the stunning photos.

We hired Marc to photograph our wedding and we were very pleased with the whole process and the final outcome. Marc was always very responsive in our email correspondence leading u...
p to the day and gave a clear timeline and "to-do" list for us. We really appreciated how he kept everyone on track without being bossy to get all family and bridal party photos done. Marc was also very patient and helpful with our wild 3 year old ring bearer! He was excellent at making sure poses looked natural and there were no hair ties or weird outfit issues. What I loved the most was that we could see Marc get excited about certain photos or poses, which made us feel comfortable and confident in the images.
Marc was the photographer for my wedding on Oct 21 and to say he is a master of his craft would be an understatement. I am a bit over weight and was very uncomfortable with the ide...
a of pictures, but from start to finish Marc was organized, thoughtful and very detail oriented. He helped me relax and feel beautiful in my skin. He made sure he got the best possible shots and the result brings tears to my eyes. My pictures were perfect and everyone in my family raved about how much they loved him. If you are looking for a photographer that will make sure the groom and groomsman shirts and jackets are straight or that will make sure your brother in law doesn’t have Kleenex hanging out of his pocket, or makes sure all the complicated parental units play nice lol. Then look no further Marc is that person.
We hired Marc back in 2019 to photograph our wedding that would have been in 2020. He did our engagement photos and really helped us feel comfortable. He was so much fun and we had...
a great time with him! We had to reschedule our wedding twice due to the pandemic. When it finally came time to our big day he got all the shots that we wanted! It was a beautiful day and we received our photos about 4-6 weeks after our wedding. Highly recommend Marc!!
Marc did our engagement and wedding photos and did a wonderful job! He was very easy to work with, communicative, and easygoing. We loved our pictures!

My husband and I got the pleasure to work with Marc not once, but twice due to our wedding being postponed from 2020 to 2021. We had him take pictures at our minimony in 2020 which...
produced the most amazing pictures that you would never know we were in a backyard! When we received our 2021 pictures we were again beyond happy with them. We literally love every single one. Not only are his pictures gorgeous, but he is wonderful to work with!
Our wedding had to be planned at the last minute and Marc was extremely accommodating of our situation. He ended up being more than what we could've asked for! Marc made us feel at...
ease right from planning stage to our wedding day. He thoroughly explained how he typically covers weddings and tailored it to our event while being extremely flexible with last minute changes. He not only made us feel relaxed during our pre and post wedding shoot but also during the wedding as well. We heard similar words from our guests as well which says a lot about how Marc works. He also ended up staying a bit later than we had initially planned, so that he could cover our last song as well. His photos turned out to be excellent and we couldn't have asked for a better experience with a wedding photographer. We very highly recommend Marc for wedding photography!
Marc's magic comes from bringing out the personality of the subject. His keen eye and ability to capture your 'best you' left us with so many amazing photos. We were thoroughly sat...

He has an easy, fun personality and he captured great formal and informal (which was important to us) pics. The quality of the pictures are amazing.
We highly recommend Marc!!!

Thank you so much, Marc, for all that you did for John & I!
My husband and I are so grateful we chose Marc Blondin as our wedding photographer. Before choosing him, we met him at his studio and literally spent two hours getting to know him ...
and reviewing his work. He was professional, funny, very detail oriented and immediately made us both feel very comfortable. During our wedding rehearsal and wedding, he was exceptional. He was calm during the stressful moments, directive during the extended family mayhem and very thoughtful during the many romantic and emotional moments. We are both so happy with his work and his professional and fun demeanor. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.
My husband and I had our wedding on May 19th, 2019 in Sebastopol, CA.
Marc is nothing short of amazing - as soon as my husband and I met him we connected with him right away and ...
his work is fabulous. In the package we purchased with him it included an engagement session and we used our engagement photos for our save the dates. The pictures turned out amazing for both the engagement session and the wedding. Marc captured everything from the small details of my accessories to all the moments my husband and I kissed and made eye contact and smiled throughout the wedding. My family loved Marc's energy and everyone had nothing but great things to say. I HIGHLY recommend him as a photographer for any event. We look forward to working with him again for any upcoming life events!
Marc went above and beyond to capture the memories for our engagement sessions and special Wedding day! I was blown away by how accommodating he was. We could tell from the first t...
ime meeting Marc that he really takes pride in his craft. Everyone at our wedding commented on how amazing Marc was and his attention to detail. We are extremely happy with all the photos. He provided more photos at a lower cost than any other photographer we looked in to. We will definitely be reaching out to Marc in the future for his services as our family grows. If you are looking for an amazing photographer, look no further! We will eternally be grateful for you Marc!!
Marc was the best vendor at our wedding! The photos came out so well, and we really appreciated the direction he gave us throughout the event. Marc was funny and easy to work with,...
as well as professional and efficient. Everyone could tell that he is extremely passionate about his work. His expertise really showed, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing and affordable photographer!
Marc did a phenomenal job! From my first inquiry email to him, I felt completely happy and confident in his work. He was quick to respond and answer all of our questions. He explai...
ned his different packages and helped us tailor one to fit our specific needs. We first met Marc when we took our engagement photos out at Armstrong Woods - they all turned out beautiful beyond words! I had the pleasure of having an additional photo session prior to my wedding. I wanted to take boudoir photos to gift to my husband the night before our wedding. I was nervous, but Marc made that go away quickly and made me feel beautiful, sexy and confident. Now on to our wedding day. I could not have asked for anything different. Marc did the best job and went above and beyond our expectations. Time can slip away from you on your wedding day, but Marc was able to capture every moment for us. He showed up early to take photos of us getting ready with hair and makeup, and stayed late to document the wild dance battles towards the end of the reception. He was even able to get the attention of my 13 year old chihuahua (Nacho)! We cannot thank or recommend Marc enough!
Marc was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! His energy and communication is amazing and kept us smiling all day. Our friends and family loved him and his ability to make us...
all comfortable while taking photos. He made us so excited just from our walk through and he takes care of everyone. I would highly recommend Marc for your wedding!
Mark was an awesome photographer for our wedding and we are so happy we decided to go with him for our wedding! He was fun and full of energy which helped us feel more relaxed and ...
the whole bridal party could just have fun and enjoy the moment.
The walkthrough we had with him before our wedding day was great and made us feel comfortable going into the day. He was great at showing us his ideas and and helped us feel prepared and comfortable going into our day.
He made it easy to receive our photos and we are so happy with all of them and we haven't been able to stop looking at them! We couldn't be happier with how things turned out.
Marc was amazing throughout our engagement and wedding planning process. He was flexible and helped us get the shots we wanted. He is a consummate professional and an absolute ple...
asure to work with and we could not be more pleased with our engagement and wedding photos.
Marc and his second shooter made pictures on our wedding day with our family and bridal party a breeze! They also received many comments and compliments from our guests regarding how they barely noticed the photographers because they were not intrusive at all, yet we got so many wonderful shots of our ceremony, reception, and of course our guests. So many great candid photos!
Marc was a breeze to work with, and while he has a good foundation structure for how the photos on the wedding day would work, he was open to the customization we needed.
I loved that Marc had us prepare a shot list in advance. This was so helpful for making sure we got all the family portraits we wanted.
We got all our photos on the agreed upon timeline, and Marc made sharing easy with a shareable gallery for our guests.
Marc worked with us every step of the way, and provided peace of mind that our photos and memories were in the right hands.
Thank you, Marc!
