Mark Adrian Photography

e cocktail hour and reception he went around and captured portraits for any couple or family that wanted one. My guests really appreciated that! Mark also made sure that the pictures, ceremony, and reception were all going according to schedule so that nothing gets missed. Mark was very attentive and willing to discuss what we wanted and answer any questions that we had. I got so many compliments about my wedding photos and how fun and friendly Mark was! Mark was the only photographer that I met with because after meeting with him I knew he was the photographer for us. I'm so glad that I went with Mark!

ws love story in pictures. Mark is kind, calm, gentle and caring and is able to focus. I liked him immediately when I met him. Even though there were a lot of people waiting to talk to him, he made it feel like it was only my daughter and I. He answered all of our questions clearly. We knew exactly what to expect from him. I met Sheela the day of the wedding and she fit in perfectly and adds a perfect touch of sweetness and trouble shooting where needed. Priyanka is quiet with a beautiful smile and just gets to work knowing what to do.Photographs are definitely an expense. But, this is what your special memories are going to be made from. These photos are going to let you relive your special day, over and over. These photos are going to tell a story, not just any story, YOUR story. Years ago, I skimped on my photographer for my wedding and I hated my pictures. They were such a disappointment. I was not going to let my daughter make the same mistake. We are both anxiously awaiting ALL the photos. The ones that Mark has shared with us are absolutely breathtaking. Creative, fun, romantic and just surprising in such a wonderful way. I have been scrolling Face Book a lot checking for any new pictures that Mark posts. I do know the wait will be worth it and the memories, well, we will have those forever because of Mark Adrian Photography.

I do not like to have my picture taken, but Mark and Sheela did an excellent job shooting I didn’t even feel like I was being photographed. We received many comments about how nice Mark and Sheela were and how their talent and creativeness behind the lens would make it difficult for us to choose our final pictures & they are right! Our bridal party also raved about how great this photography duo is, which as a bride, is a great feeling! Look no further & book Mark Adrian Photography, you will not be disappointed...these photos last a lifetime ;)

nd I met him, we knew we wanted Mark to do the wedding. Mark has an upbeat and engaging personality. Mark and his team exceeded our high expectations. Not only did the photos capture the day, Mark was great to be around. Several of our guest commented during the wedding how much they like our photographer. After seeing the pictures, several people have commented on how perfect they are! If you are looking for someone who will capture the special moments of your once-in-a-lifetime occasion, look no further. Mark will not disappoint!

ent session, which made such an incredible difference on our wedding day! He not only knew us well, but got to know our bridal party too and always provided so much kindness and compassion to everyone. With many things on our minds the day of our wedding, he fully took on his role, and provided such a stress free and seamless day for the two of us, which was amazing! His passion, fun personality and expertise are evident every time you are with him and in every photo he takes. We felt like family when we were with Mark, and will absolutely be having him take more photos for us in the future for special events! If you want an expert photographer who is genuinely a wonderful human being, look no further!!!

gine walking around in a Wedding Expo, knowing nothing about weddings, and talking to a few photographers, all of which are already booked, 8 months in advance, and beginning to panic. Then you stumble upon a friendly man who talks to you about the timeline of the services you need to register and how to start, without trying to sell you something. Then it turns out, he's also a great photographer! Then, your life gets crazy, and he patiently waits for the info you send him, accepts your last minute call for an engagement portrait session, and turns out to be a genuinely fun guy who makes you and your fiancee laugh when you feel awkward posing. Then, on your wedding day, he runs behind a horse carriage for an hour in 80 degree sunny weather, becomes an interface between you and the DJ delivering messages on timing, takes the most amazing photos in which he captures how truly happy you and your fiancee are, and even manages to help you escape guest tables that want to keep you talking forever by taking formal photos so you have an excuse to move on and see everyone else! I was honored, and so grateful, to have had Mark and his wife, Sheila, at my wedding. Sheila paid attention to the tiniest details (where my veil was blowing, how my dress was arranged) in every shot, and they both had amazing creative ideas for poses and places to photograph. They were patient and comprehensive and hilarious. They made everything fun. The luckiest thing that happened to me in 2017 is that I randomly started talking to him in the Novi Bridal Expo. Except I'd say, it probably wasn't luck-- he just is that friendly looking that I stopped to talk to him. If you go with Mark, you will not regret it.

10 absolutely beautiful sneak peaks in a matter of days! Cannot wait to see Mark's magic come through in the rest of our pictures! Thanks again Mark & team!!!!

h them and made us all feel comfortable!!

t came through in the pictures. We wanted our wedding photos to be family heirlooms, something we could look at and be as happy as we were on the day and thanks to Mark we have that.

anor we’ve ever experienced – he was adept in giving direction to our guests and explaining our vision in order to get the perfect shots. He learned the names of the entire wedding party and parents, which still impresses us to this day. We had a Star Wars theme wedding, and even when things got about as chaotic as a Broadway show, Mark remained cool as a cucumber, and his calm disposition soothed even the most frantic of brides (me). He handled a crowd of immense proportions with ease, and captured some of the best large group shots possible! Our wedding was in a historic theatre, and Mark adapted to the darkened environment seamlessly, preserving the essence of the theatre experience, while adding enough light for the perfect exposure. He has an eye for composition and color you would expect from an art museum exhibitor, and once he makes sure your requested shots are covered, he works his magnificent “Mark Magic,” which is the reason we hired him. He can elicit the perfect responses and expressions from his subjects, creating a photographic tapestry of cherished memories preserved for a lifetime. His second shooter, Lindsay Johnson, also deserves high praise, as the communication between the two of them was flawless, allowing shots to be captured from two perspectives at all times. Lindsay came to the rescue twice, saving me from a near catastrophic wardrobe malfunction by swiftly offering a pin to keep things in place, and also bustled my dress for photos faster than anyone in my bridal party could’ve ever hoped – she’s a bride’s dream! The professional combination of Mark and Lindsay resulted in magazine quality spreads, and photos we will treasure far and above any gift we received. When you hire Mark, you’re hiring him for his art and his expertise – and you’ll get just as many compliments on how your photographer handled the day as you do on your wedding dress – true story! There is only one word to describe Mark’s work: Epic. And it truly was. He’s the best.

hter's (bride) shot list was totally completed. Then he added his genius and all inclusiveness to end up with a product that was awesome and precious to our family and guests.

and I was sold! They have so much positive energy which made everything go smoothly and that much more fun. Our pictures are beautiful and that is all everyone ever talks about. We will be using them for future events no matter what it is!! It was beyond worth it!!

Mark's warm, goofy, uplifting personality, which made it a complete pleasure to work with him from start to finish. And the pictures... OMG #Obsessed !!! The best quality!!! We are so excited to receive our Wedding Day Album :) Thanks again Mark Adrian. You are the best!!!

y made it seem effortless and produced the photos super quickly! We are so lucky to have found them and will always recommend to anyone looking!

e takes the time to get to know each of his couples, and captures their personalities through his photographs. My (now) husband and I aren't big fans of staged photographs, so when our engagement photos came around, we were a little bit nervous. Mark made us laugh the entire time, and our photos really showed our true selves! On the morning of my wedding, I was a nervous wreck. When Mark and Lindsay walked in, they pulled me aside and calmed me down, which nobody had been able to do all day. Thanks to them, I was able to relax and enjoy every moment of my big day! In addition to being the calming presence that every bride needs, they were so much fun and kept everyone engaged the entire day. Mark and Lindsay were the dream team, and managed to get incredible pictures of everyone. They went above and beyond and managed to get pictures of all of our family and friends at the reception! We felt as though our wedding pictures really told our story and captured the day in a way that no videographer could. Mark was there for us through every step of our engagement, and really helped to make our wedding amazing. I highly recommend him to everyone, whether you're engaged, married, or looking for someone to capture any of your special moments. Mark is the best, and we cannot wait to work with him again in the future!

we wanted, and if a family member or friend asked for a special shot, he always got that shot next! When all the girls got a little off schedule in the morning getting ready, we was on his toes and adjusted his schedule for us! He was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend him. At the end of the night, all the guests where asking how we found him and how amazing he was! And he posted some pictures from our wedding before we even got to bed that night! Like within hours of leaving, we got to see some of his amazing shots! We got to see all the pictures really quickly after that as well! Mark and his assistant were so nice and so professional, and their energy had everyone wanting to take more pictures with them, and that gave us an amazing assortment of beautiful shots! We were so lucky to find him, and he captured every moment for us to look back on our best day ever!

er and her husband's special day the most memorable and precious gift.

g. Our date wasn't even set yet but I knew I wanted Mark & his team to photograph our wedding. Fast forward 10 months later, I married the man of my dreams and Mark captured every moment perfectly. I am so thankful to have found him and will continue to pursue him for any new opportunity where a photographer is need as I know I will NEVER be disappointed with his superior work. Mark & Sheela are wonderful people and photographers, they capture natural moments and set up for genuine reactions that are timeless. It was a long day but they were energetic, funny and encouraging to the end, you can tell they love their work and it shows! Thank You Mark & Sheela!

them. He took lots of time to get all the quality photos we wanted. Quite a few of our guests the day of our wedding complemented how awesome Mark and Sheila were. One thing I would recommend is having any special photo requests you want up front because the night goes by so fast. We have loved going back through and enjoying all the pictures captured on our special day. Very personable and easy to work with!

and what we expect the day to be like.  He creates a personalized plan for the day and is nothing but prepared. During the wedding day, Mark is on the ball. He ensures that the bridal party is on schedule and taking photos efficiently. He is incredibly easy to work with, and has a personality anybody can get along with. Also, if you are fortunate enough to have Mark's wife, Sheila assisting him on your special day, the two of them are a delight to work with. They each do their jobs well without overwhelming you. Mark goes above and beyond to make your day successful. He was present during our rehearsal, and even went as far as to scout each location we were to shoot photos at ahead of time. Mark Adrian is the very definition of "exceeds expectations", and we would recommend his service to any person for any occasion. His photos are absolutely beautiful, you will NOT be disappointed!

enthusiasm throughout our wedding experience! They helped to capture the most beautiful photos of our amazing wedding! Our friends && family cannot stop raving about how wonderful Mark && Lindsay are!! We will be forever thankful that we chose them them to apart of THE BEST day of our lives!

s with the camera. My daughter and my new "son" were surly led to Mark when seeking out the perfect photographer for their wedding! And Mark's assistant, Lindsay, is so very sweet and equally savvy in capturing those very special moments! They interacted with everyone at the wedding and were indeed instrumental in making this wedding day a beautiful picture to embrace. We heard comments from family and friends all evening about how personable and fun Lindsay and Mark are. You will be ever grateful in choosing Mark for your favored photographer! They are a blessing!

names of everyone in the wedding party and immediate family, and were continually engaged with us and our wedding guests throughout the afternoon and evening. Many family members and friends commented on what a great job they did interacting with the guests and capturing every moment. We received our proofs extremely quickly (within three days!) and are thrilled with the results. We were immediately at ease when we met Mark for our initial consultation, and have had no reason to regret our decision since. Mark Adrian Photography is THE photographer to go to, and worth every penny.

ganized and had our photos back almost immediately. Everyone mentioned to us how great the photographer and his entire team were.

with him and his staff (Lindsay was with us on our wedding day), please do so. It is worth it!

feel so comfortable and natural. The attention to detail in each photo is evident. Not to mention the turn around time was unreal. We are so grateful to have these precious moments in time to share with our loved ones for years to come.

aw his photos on the website for our venue, then by pure coincidence a few months later I met him at a bridal show and recognized his work. He was meant to be our photographer! He is so personable, charming, likable, and always professional. The initial consultation was very comprehensive - rather than simply showing his work and saying why we should choose him, he spent a lot of time getting to know all about us and our wedding details, etc. I was planning our wedding from out of state, with several trips to Michigan during the planning process. Mark was very accommodating in scheduling our engagement shoot for a day that we would be in Michigan so we didn’t have to make a special trip. My now-husband and I had never been professionally photographed like that, so we didn’t know what to expect. Plus, I was very worried because I hadn’t been able to get my makeup professionally done before the shoot and I had a breakout on my face (of course, lol). Mark put both of us at ease immediately and told me not to worry. He made the whole process so much fun for us, and we were both completely blown away when we saw the photos. On our wedding day, he and his wife were seemed to be as excited about our wedding as we were. They captured everything that we wanted and more, while making everyone feel comfortable and happily excited as the photos were being taken. Mark’s smile and personality are simply infectious! The photos themselves are simply breathtaking. More than once while viewing the proofs (which were delivered sooner and there was so much more than I’d expected) I found myself brought to tears at the way Mark and Sheela were able, through their photographs, to show the beauty and magic of our wedding day. We are so grateful that we were able to have them as such an important part of our wedding.

hey both are easy going, super friendly and very professional. I would highly recommend them to capture your special day, you wont be disappointed!

to his craft through networking, conferences and attention to detail. NOTHING escaped this man. He is very professional, friendly, genuine, organized, calming and fun! He and his lovely wife Sheela made us feel like family and were our ROCKS throughout the process and day! His ability to capture and tell a couples story through photo's is beautiful! I highly recommend the engagement session. What a great opportunity for the photographer to get to know the couple and learn more about their personalities, their story and find their best angles for the big day! Mark and Sheela were so accomodating and made sure that they got every shot and even those we requested at the last minute. They really go above and beyond and will go to your venue prior to your day to ensure they have every state of the art light, camera, etc they may need to ensure perfection. The benefit of having two photographers is the ability to capture two point of views of a moment that make for breath taking photo's. Mark and Sheela are two of the most amazing photographers and people... They were worth every penny and more. We are so grateful to have shared this day with them and look forward to seeing them again in the near future at our son's wedding!

he timed out our day perfectly in order to get every important picture of the day. Mark knows what he is doing and does not miss a beat! He is an amazing photographer and an even better person! We were lucky to have him at our wedding :) You will not be disappointed with Mark as your wedding photographer!

more than we originally budgeted for but after meeting with him and seeing his work, we didn’t want anyone else. We cut costs elsewhere and chose his middle package, which included an engagement session, a framed engagement photo, 8 hours of photography the day of our wedding, a wedding album, and then some. It was 120% worth it!! Mark really goes above and beyond. He made a real effort to know each of our bridal party and family members. He was our only vendor who knew everyone involved by name. Whenever we talk to people who were guests at the wedding, they almost always mention how much they enjoyed Mark. He really makes an impression for all the right reasons! I particularly appreciated how he was able to get photos of every guest. It was so much fun seeing so many photos of our guests having fun! Mark also knows how to read people. When my husband was getting burnt out, Mark noticed and suggested taking a break. Wedding days can be extremely long and tiring, and I was so thankful to have a photographer who recognized and respected my husband’s need to have some time to relax. Mark had teaser photos from both our engagement session and from our wedding up within hours of each shoot being over. The proofs (literally over 2000 high quality photos) were ready before what the contract promised. He was very patient as we chose the photos for our album, and was quick to edit album proofs once we made our choices. From the first consultation all the way to when we received our album, Mark has been absolutely wonderful to work with! We could not have hoped for a better photographer!

ur engagement photos and the entire day with him for the wedding, I would've gladly paid double and triple! We went to Downtown Detroit for our engagement photos since I am a die-hard Tigers fan. He knew all sorts of neat places to take us downtown to get some great shots. The day of the wedding, he was joined by his wife, Sheela. They would alternate between the bridesmaids and the groomsmen, making sure every shot was captured. They even held up traffic for us! No matter what picture or pose we wanted, they took it. It was raining a bit the day of the wedding, so Mark and Sheela were kind enough to be our personal chauffeur to each photo spot. They even had umbrellas on hand to let the bridal party use while they walked to each spot! Once all of the necessary photos were taken (and there was a little bit of downtime), Mark & Sheela made sure that anyone who wanted a photo taken got one. I have never met a photographer who is more involved with not only the bridal party, but the entire guest list! When it came time for them to leave, we said our goodbyes, but it seemed like every time I turned around they were snapping more photos! We just got our proofs back last night and I am in love! If you are looking for a phenomenal photographer, Mark is definitely the best choice!

s what he's doing! He relieves the tension of the day and makes taking photographs easy! Nothing is ever "staged" or awkward. Sure, he'll pose you for a photograph or two, but he does it in such a way that makes everything feel natural. When he takes photos, something amazing happens. He does more than point and shoot at the subject, but rather he captures the emotions of the moment. I don't know how else to describe it other than magic!! I guarantee you that when he flips the camera around to give you a sneak peek, you might have to double take to be sure it's really you! His photos don't just hang in a frame - they tell a story and serve as beautiful reminders of your special day. Mark and his partner Lindsay shot my wedding this past weekend and the two of them are an amazing duo. They float through the crowd effortlessly and you almost forget that they are there. They simply become a part of the day. It's a sad moment when they begin to pack up to leave at the end of the night :( Mark is truly one of the greats. His kindness and professionalism are unlike any that I've seen, and his talent speaks for itself. I promise you any time spent with him is time well spent - you will not be disappointed!! :)

behind the camera, and he makes it a lot of fun at the same time. My whole bridal party could not stop talking about how much they enjoyed him as the photographer, so much so that they are all Facebook friends with him now and the married ones all agreed that they wish they could go back and re do their wedding with him as their photographer. The pictures he captured were moments caught in time, from the first kiss, to a long laugh, to twist and turns on the dance floor, he captures EVERYTHING. Every time I look at my pictures I relive my day. The quality and care he puts into his work is so visible! (for example, people I haven't talked to in years went out of their way to message me and tell me how amazing my wedding pictures were, and that is all thanks to Mark) So trust me when I say this, HE IS AMAZING!...we received way more pictures than we even thought were possible and love every single one of them! You absolutely can not go wrong with Mark! If there is one thing that you want to be perfect (besides your dress) it is a photographer, You will have those memories captured forever! Thank you so much, Mark. For adding to the fun of our day! We are forever grateful! -Jen

uncing her name correctly, which sounds little, but to her, it's huge! The pictures turned out beautifully, and I'm so excited for anyone who chooses to have Mark work with them to capture their wedding day!

and I highly recommend their services.

were both also so incredibly kind to all of our family and friends! We had numerous guests of our wedding tell us how wonderful Mark and Sheela were! Mark captured every important moment and I'm so thankful that we will have his photographs for our lifetime!

e day, moved everything along quickly, and he was cognizant of how we were feeling and gave us breaks to go inside in the AC when needed. We also had a lot of fun with him, and he was really able to make everyone laugh and look natural in the photos. Our guests loved him! We have had several people tell us that they would recommend him to couples they know in the future. It was also great to have 2 photographers to capture different angles, and small moments that might otherwise be easy to miss. Our pictures turned out beautifully, and we are very happy with the end result. It was raining much of our wedding day, but Mark was able to keep calm about the weather, and scope out great alternative spots for our portraits. You can't even tell that it was raining from our photos. Also, once it stopped raining, he made sure to grab us to get some nice outdoor shots. We were also thrilled with the quick turn around time for getting the pictures to us after the wedding. Our only regret was not having him stay longer to capture more moments later in the reception!

which kept is on track the whole day. I also couldn't believe how quickly we were able to see our pictures. Before we even made it home from the reception, I had a email from Mark with some hilights from the day. The pictures he took were absolutely amazing. He is very knowledgeable, and gave several recommendations at the rehearsal which made the wedding go very smoothly. I would recommend Mark to anyone getting married, he went above and beyond all my expectations !!! I am so happy we found Mark Adrian Photography!

perfect by going above and beyond the call of duty (not to mention his work is perfection)! Everyone was captivated by Mark as a person and super impressed with his work. Mark is highly educated and happens to be one of the most intelligent people I have ever met. I feel like everything Mark touches turns to gold. I promise you that you will regret not hiring him! I also promise hiring him will be the second best decision you will ever make (next to marrying your husband/wife). People are still talking about the Jaime/Lindenboom wedding and they got married on 6/14/14. I am so happy that you landed on Mark's page; you are so lucky!! Congratulations! Nicole Jaime

tdoor lighting. He was extremely efficient with time and knew exactly how to utilize every moment. I was blown away at the resulting pictures so I knew he would do a great job at the wedding. Come wedding day of course it's hectic and time restricted but Mark and his wife Sheila were amazing! They got so many pictures in such restricted time frames. They didn't waste one moment! They captured every scene I requested. Every moment I ever wanted for my wedding since I was little they got! They were also very creative with poses and shots on the spot. They were extremely professional and friendly. Friends and family said they were amazing. I would 100% recommend them. So glad I used his services. My pictures came out great! I've gotten so many compliments!

of the reception were magnificent. I will definitely be utilizing Mark again hopefully when my daughter or sons get married.

ictures. They have been very personable and professional to work with. We highly recommend Mark Adrian Photography!!

e! He made us tea and showed us a bunch of his work and was extremely interested in who we were as a couple and how we wanted to go forward with our photos. We had an engagement session which was great, because my husband is not one who likes getting his picture taken, and especially posing for the camera; Mark made him feel so comfortable and my husband actually left the session saying that he had fun! When our wedding came, Mark brought his assistant, Lindsey and she was AMAZING as well! They both arrived early to the ceremony/reception and made our entire bridal party feel comfortable. Both Mark and Lindsey got us all of the photos that we wanted plus more! All of our wedding guests raved about how wonderful the photographers were and how much fun they were! I cannot say enough great words about Mark and I would recommend him to ANYONE who wanted an amazing experience where you do not have to worry the day of the wedding, he takes care of everything! Thank you MARK!

how I was doing, and who was with me that day. He had a VERY welcoming personality and seemed genuinely interested in me as a person, not just as a bride, or as a sale. He introduced himself to all my bridesmaids who were with me as well. Before he even talked about prices or deals, he told me this, "Do not even think about prices when you look for photographers, even if you go with someone else other than me, look at the photos, look at the quality and the creativity." Let me tell you, I looked at many photos while I was there, but Mark's had the best quality, the bridal party always looked like they were having fun in the pictures, and there were mostly unique, candid pictures, rather than posing and rehearsed shots. Mark made such an impression on me with his caring and attentive personality that I couldn't remember any other photographer I had met that day. I'm so thankful that we hired him because we have so many great memories captured, and he made our whole bridal party and wedding guests feel comfortable when he was shooting our wedding. What's great is that Mark is THE photographer. He doesn't have a bunch of people working for him, so you're not wondering who will be photographing your wedding like some larger companies do. If you book with him early enough, all of his packages include an engagement session, then you meet with him to choose your engagement photos, then he also does his best to come to your wedding rehearsal too. You really get to know him and feel comfortable with him after all those meetings, which I think really makes a difference in the pictures! I would book with him again in a heartbeat for any other professional photos that I want taken again!

tantly! He welcomed us to his warm and inviting studio, and was very organized in explaining his approach to capturing fantastic photos. He would frequently refer to his wall of previous client photos as examples, and always referred to them by first names as if long time friends. By the end of the consultation you genuinely want to be his client, and appear on that wall for the next potential clients to see and hear about with the same excitement. During the start of the engagement shoot, we were anxious about having our photos taken, but Mark has a way of putting you at ease and making you feel beautiful or handsome. The proof was in the photos! Upon reviewing the proofs several people commented “I want Mark to take my picture!” We don’t consider ourselves overly photogenic, but Mark found ways to capture ourselves looking our Very Best! We received numerous comments during the wedding and afterwards, recognizing how hard Mark and Lindsey worked the entire day. I wouldn’t consider another photographer, Mark is absolutely fantastic!

I would recommend Mark Adrian Photography to you in a heart beat! They make your day special, make you and the members of your wedding feel special and are able to capture memories that will last a lifetime! Thank you Mark Adrian Photography!

otos the year before. I was unable to find time with my busy schedule to meet Mark before our wedding week but I had reviewed his work from his website and I liked what I had seen. Mark was super easy to talk to and work with, we had a unique private wedding up in Northern Michigan and Mark had no problem traveling north for us. The day before the wedding, Mark arrived early afternoon and being that we still had never met in person he came by the rental home that we were staying and having the wedding. He and his wife Sheela were very personable and just fun to work with. They walked around the property with us and gathered ideas for the photographs for the next day. After they left from the short visit my wife and our families couldn’t stop talking about how nice Mark and Sheela were. There vibrant character made us feel special and excited for the next day. The wedding day came and Mark arrived early with a detailed list of shots to complete. He was well prepared and never hesitated to take the shots or move furniture to make it happen. Very professional, fun loving couple that make the photography process so enjoyable. Marks attitude is contagious and you can’t help but smile. Just two days after the wedding just a couple teaser shots were put up on Facebook and we were blown away! Beautiful, vibrant colors, and captured every moment. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mark Adrian Photography to anyone. You will get what you pay for and enjoy every minute of it.

have done. We absolutely adore the photos, and it was our chance to get comfortable being photographed and to gain trust in our photographer. We were worry free on our wedding day and that was priceless!! We knew he would get all the right shots and keep us on time throughout the day. We received SO MANY wedding photos and they are AMAZING. Even our friends and family commented over and over what a great photographer we had chose. Make sure to set up an appointment with Mark and get all your questions answered, you won't regret it!

team were perfect. I have already recommended Mark to others. The pictures he takes turn out amazing as well. I am usually a very picky person when it comes to how I look in pictures and I loved the pictures that Mark took.

made it easy for me to set up my timeline for the day with their recommended timeline for photographs. It made for some wonderful pictures! Thank you Mark Adrian Photography!

d personally you are first class! Let me be sure and point out that I was simply a bridesmaid in my dear friends wedding...But I was so blown away and so impressed from the entire experience with them that after I found myself telling friends, co-workers, and family about how wonderful they were, I figured why stop there ~ I should post a little something online to share with everyone and anyone who may be looking for “the perfect photographer”. Good news…you can stop looking!! Any photographer can show up with a camera, “clock in”, take some pics, and do a decent job. But they not only brought the cameras, they brought an energy and a magic that was the greatest gift of all! Everyone knows that enthusiasm is contagious ~ and theirs was abundant! What you don’t expect you are hiring a photographer, is that there are ones like Mark Adrian Photography who provide much more than a service of taking pictures. They are not only passionate about what they do, they truly seem passionate about their clients (AND the clients friends, family, and guests!) and make a personal investment that is heartfelt and genuine. It definitely seems unfitting to use the word client when describing the relationship you have when working with Mark and Sheela. They became fast friends. So many people that day and in the days following commented on how GREAT the photographers were. They had a way of making everyone feel comfortable and it was a blast simply “hanging out” with them. As far as quality, craftsmanship, and the actual end product… Visiting the Mark Adrian Photography website is the visual proof of the amazing work they do and speaks volumes just by itself as you look thru all the different galleries. Awesome stuff! Some of the best advice I ever got when planning my own wedding was ‘do not skimp on your photographer, make the investment because it will pay off in the end more than you know .’ I am very much aware that after the “big day” is over and the chaos has subdued, one of the most treasured things you will have for a lifetime are the photos and memories that are captured to cherish and remind you of that magical day! I may not have had the pleasure of knowing/having them on my special day, but I will absolutely find a reason/event to hire them in future!

come by and we didn’t want to miss out. Not only do they take pictures amazing pictures, but they are so much fun to work with. We had previously done an engagement shoot with a different photographer, and were completely disappointed at the lack of creativity and ability of the photographer to direct and position us for great photographs. When we decided to go with Mark, he suggested an engagement shoot so he could get to know us, our personalities, which sides we looked best from, etc. We were a bit nervous in the beginning because of our previous engagement shoot experience, however this time was different. Mark not only took awesome and creative photos, but he made the process enjoyable and made us genuinely laugh. After the engagement session, I didn’t even care how the pictures ultimately turned out because of how much fun we had running around Downtown Detroit (the pictures of course turned out PHENOMINALLY!!). We still receive compliments on them. Mark and Sheela really make an effort to get to know you as a couple and we felt that was incredibly important when you are sharing a special (and stressful) event in your life with them. Throughout the wedding day they knew when to make us laugh when we were stressed out, but also when to be serious so we got the photos we wanted and stayed on schedule. They have a great calming sense to them and make everything fun! Also their eye for different, unique shots is stunning. It is definitely not the standard cookie cutter wedding pictures! We had an absolute blast working with them. They will not just be our wedding photographers but our go to photographers for other special events/moments in our life! There is not a price tag you can put on that.

l hints in order to look your best. When taking the picture they shot a ton with multiple different angles so there are plenty to pick from. To future brides i would requirement having a photographer who will do engagement shots even if you don't plan on buying any. It was a great way for Mark to get to know us and us, him.

a picture will become after the event is over. Thank you Mark, for making our day a very special day. We will remember each moment through our pictures. Also, thank you for engaging our guest as if it were their special day also. If god blesses us with a baby you will definitely have our business again. Oh and one last thing, he worked well with the other vendors, which kept us busy but made everything flow.

my wedding which was all about fun and family. They're very flexible on timelines and payments which worked well for my budget. Also I got my proofs pretty quickly and even after the event they're available and supportive with whatever I need. I feel like Sheela and Mark are MY photographers and can't wait to use them again for family photos.

e). We had a VERY tight timeline the day of the wedding to get the pictures that I wanted due to the venue. However Mark and Sheela managed to get every shot I wanted and SO much more. They are artistic and creative and a blessing to work with. They got to know my guests and everyone ranted and raved about how amazing they were. They are relaxed and know what they are doing which made me calm and relaxed as well. I am so grateful that I chose them to capture my wedding because these pictures will last a life time and they are wonderful! Thank you Mark and Sheela!!!!

heir activity level was off the charts with over 3000 photos taken and yet they remained in the background. Mark's sense of humor kept everyone loose and smiling. To top things off, we received great value that validated our choice to have Mark Adrian Photography memorialize our daughter's special day. Mr. and Mrs. Frederiek Toney

ry shot that I would ever want or need. I did not have to stress or worry about any aspects regarding the photos of my wedding. I knew that they had everything under control from start to finish. Mark was very thorough in making sure he knew every area we would be taking photos... so I didn't have to! Additionally, our photos look beautiful. They made sure to advise us on where to place our hands and their are no "awkward" moments in our photos :). Something I thought was impossible! They were amazing with my guests as well, taking over 6000 photos throughout the day. They were always behind the scenes, but somehow helped carryout the overwhelming feeling of love and happiness in the room. Everyone felt welcome and important because Mark and Sheela made sure to make their rounds and get shots of so many guests. I truly felt like it was meant to be to have Mark and Sheela shoot my wedding. Sheela even offered me her shoes (at least 4 times!) when we were walking Greenfield Village. They were so excited for everything to go perfectly for me. .....and did I say our pictures look GREAT?!

being said having Mark as our photographer was one of the reasons why our day was so perfect. He gets excited about his work, really makes you feel special on your day, is detailed but yet fun, and he truly makes an effort to make your guests and family feel comfortable. My husband and I were sad at the end of the night because we are going to miss working with Mark. Our proofs brought us to tears!

wedding party, including girls that have been in many other weddings, all said that Mark & Sheela were the best photographers they have ever worked with. Not only that, but my husband does not exactly love being photographed, and even he admitted that Mark & Sheela made it fun! My husband and I cannot thank them enough for helping to make our wedding day PERFECT!

ot it. Our guests loved he and Sheela and they were accommodating to any requests. I would recommend them to anyone for any event. Great photographers and great people too, I was glad to have them so close to us on such an important day. Just can't say enough good things, Mark and Sheela are the best

all involved, from the bride and groom to the minister and to the guests. His demeanor was both professional and fun. The pictures speak for themselves--beautiful with many clever touches. This daughter hit the jackpot when she found Mark. The pictures are amazing, as I am sure their wedding album will be.

ng from his booth that I knew I needed to have at my wedding. The moment I left the expo I called my husband and told him I found our photographer. We immediately arranged a meeting to sit down and talk with Mark and give my husband a chance to meet him. Let's just say the meeting went very well and we hadn't even left Mark's driveway before we both agreed that he was it! The engagement session was awesome. Mark knew exactly what to say and had energy and fun personality. He had a way of making us feel comfortable and care free. This was something that we really valued because our daughter tends to be shy. From the minute Mark met our daughter she was instantly comfortable and taking beautiful photos. On our wedding day, Mark blew us away again! He and Sheela were welcoming and took the time to get to know our bridal party. They were both fun, upbeat, and full of energy. Their energy helped calm my nerves and made me feel comfortable to the fullest extent. Mark and Sheela were very professional, yet were able to let loose and have some fun too. Our guests all really enjoyed taking pictures and have made comments on how well they liked our photographers! After the wedding, Mark was very prompt to get our proofs done and sent them right away. What a pleasant surprise to get those two weeks earlier than expected!! Overall, Mark and Sheela were very professional, great personality, respectful, thorough, energetic, and take EXCELLENT photos! They were top of the line and you will definitely love your photos!

ed presence on what can be a stressful day. We are in love with the pictures and have received so many compliments. I would recommend Mark Adrian Photography for any occasion!

husband and I got married, so the sticker shock shouldn't have been a surprise. When they went for their engagement photos, I thought "well, we'll see how these turn out". I have to say that their engagement photos were lovely. However, I was blown away by Mark and Sheela on the day of my daughter's wedding. They were both so upbeat and great to work with. They really made the day about Chrissy and JT and getting as many good pictures as they could. Not many people can work so well with large groups of people with all kinds of different needs/wants. But Mark and Sheela worked tirelessly throughout a long, hot day and pulled it off superbly . . . and continued to tell people to come see them if anyone wanted special pictures taken. Okay, so their nice to work with - that's a plus. But in the end, it's all about the pictures and the memories that should last a lifetime. I have been completely mesmerized by the pictures I've seen coming from their wedding "blog" online. I've spent countless hours pouring over the pictures, and I can truly say that they're beautiful. And for all the time I've spent looking at them online, I can't WAIT for the actual pictures so I can see them every day. For any skepticism I had in the beginning, I am totally "wowed" and would highly recommend Mark Adrian Photography. Mark and Sheela's photography are worth every single penny . . . and then some.

Our engagement photo session was one of the best photography experiences I have ever had! Mark envisioned what we wanted from our engagement shoot and the pictures got amazing reviews from friends and family. When it came time for our wedding day, we couldn't have asked for a more dynamic and phenomenal team of photographers in Mark and Sheela. Our families are a loud and fun bunch, and they fit right in! From what we have seen from our pictures, it is going to be incredibly tough to pick our favorites, because they are all beautifully done. Mark and Sheela know how to really inspire a bride and make her feel like a model...at least I did! I would recommend this couple to anyone, and I plan to keep using them for future photography needs as we build a family :)

he really encouraged me to take time looking at not only his booth but others before I made a decision. He was so friendly and interested in getting to know me personally. I went off to continue looking around when I ran into another photographers booth. He asked, "Do you have a photographer for you wedding?" I said, "I think I have one picked out." He replied "you think, than you don't?." He continued to ask who I was interested in and when I did he took a step back and said, "Whao! He is AWESOME, I can't compete with that, however if you want something a little less expensive then I am your guy, but you definitely won't go wrong with Mark." After I heard Mark's potential competitor share such honorable remarks, I new he was the guy for the job! He didn't try to persuade me into booking him, in fact when I came back to his booth he offered to hold my June 1st date for 24 hours before booking him as he wanted to allow us time to look over his contract as he realized its an investment for couples and wanted to make sure we (my fiancé & I) agreed with the contract. We booked him the next day and it was the second best decision my husband and I made in regards to our wedding, besides marrying each other! He was so much fun to work with. He puts tons of time into the couples he works with. He tries hard to come to the dinner rehearsal so he can meet family and get to know the area for shooting great pictures. He is so organized, the wedding would not have ran as smooth as it did without him! He had an agenda ready to go on the wedding day. Mark was very relaxed, professional, personable, funny and creative. We had many many compliments on his work along with his assistant. They really made the party! He is very creative with his shots which we loved! My husband and I were very blessed to find out that they (Mark & his wife) were heading to Mexico on the same flight we were for our honeymoon. Mark offered to take pictures of us on our honeymoon! I was ecstatic! We got a bit separated at customs in Mexico and since my husband and I had never been, we had no idea on how to get a cab without getting scammed. Mark and his wife waited (probably about 30 mins or more) for us to get through customs and made sure we were off with the right cab companies without being scammed. They are such compassionate, caring people. They took time out of their vacation to meet back up with us to shoot photographs for 2 hours! It was so much fun! They are all around amazing people who do exceptional photography! I was even able to trash my dress! I recommend Mark Adrian Photography with no hesitation! You will not be disappointed! They are incredible all around! :) I will continue to use Mark Adrian Photography in the future!
