Mark Adrian Photography

amples of what a talented photographer he his. But what you don't see is the person behind the camera. Mark went out of his way to connect with my husband and my father, both of which are reserved and shy in front of the camera. Mark got them to open up, and the pictures show their true selves. At the same time, he made himself invisible, and let the real moments happen and caught them all without being intrusive. I loved Mark's work so much I even hired him to take my professional head shots. He is a talent, a class act, and captured our day exactly as we saw it- special and full of love.

feel so special as a couple. His photos are just stunning and I would definitely recommend him to any family member/friend. He did my engagement photos and I can't wait to have him take pictures on my wedding day!

ere other vendors fell short. Mark also laid out a perfect timeline for us and kept our whole wedding party on track; while treating everyone with the upmost respect. Highly recommend Mark Adrian Photography, you will not be disappointed!

g. After observing their friendliness, level of engagement, and creativity during her wedding celebration I told my then boyfriend that I wanted Mark Adrian for our big day. Fast forward to 2019 my husband and I got engaged and the first photographer I contacted was Mark. I was unsure of how we would connect or if we could hire Mark since we had relocated to the west coast and having a destination wedding. Mark recommends face to face consultation which created a challenge for us due to our recent move. My fiance and I traveled to Detroit for my "Say Yes to the Dress" experience in February, and was unsure if Mark would be available during our travel dates. I informed Mark and he gladly made time for us to meet with him. Mark met with us within hours of he and his family returning from vacation, this accommodation meant a lot to us. Mark told us to feel free to bring our bridal party and that we did. This gesture also contributed to our decision because it enabled us to have uninterrupted time with the bridal party while still conducting business. It also provided Mark with a glimpse of our relationship. After seeing our engagement photos we knew we had made the best choice to have Mark shoot our special day. Mark and his team traveled to Jamaica along with us and our entire wedding entourage. Once he and his team arrived Mark found the most amazing spots for us to be photographed at the venue. Mark Adrian Photography is a well oiled machine they are creative, responsive, efficient and very personable. It amazes us how one interaction in 2014 created such impact that Mark Adrian photography will photograph all of our memories going forward.

all his photographs. He guided us through posed and managed to get genuine shots when my husband and I were just laughing at each other, which are our favorite photographs. We couldn't be happier with the photos he took during our engagement session and on our wedding day. 5+ stars!

agement photos, he knew exactly what would look best with what we described. He gave us lots of options. He makes it so fun and easy while he shooting, which translates so well in the photos. His constant communication and help with al details was beyond expectations. Coming up to the wedding, he set up an itinerary to make sure we received everything we asked for. He arrived early on the day of the wedding to get set up and brought such joy and comfort. The second shooter Lindsay was the perfect pair. They have great communication between them to make sure they don’t miss a shot. Mark can get anyone to smile and have a good time. It truly shows. We had a blast with him as well as our whole wedding. He became party of our family. We will continue to hire him.

they needed to be, and did it all while making everyone laugh and feel calm and comfortable. My entire family loved working with this guy. His pictures turned out spectacular, and we also loved his assistant Lindsay! I would recommend him to anyone. I look forward to using him again in the future for baby and family portraits! We love you Mark!!!

The day I met him at a Bridal expo, I knew in that moment that I wanted him to take our pictures on our special day. He has the type of personality that you gravitate to, and you feel natural. I felt like I connected with him instantly, along with my parents and my husband. He felt like a member of our family on our special day. He also is so creative and is able to capture moments that most photographers would not even dare or think to capture. I had so much fun, and if I ever need professional pictures in the future, he will be the first person I contact. His package was worth every penny, and behind each of the pictures he was able to take will be an ever lasting memory that I will never forget. Taking pictures with him was fun, rather than feeling like another thing I had to check off my wedding check list of things to do. His team is extremely professional, whether helping to carry my dress while we walked to take photos, or fixing our hair prior to taking a picture to ensure they came out perfectly. Thanks so much Mark for every thing, and I look forward to working with you again in the future!!

ny other photography team capture the day like he and his team. It was truly a blessing to have them there on our special day to capture all of our memorable moments. We received our proofs in record time and were able to review them over the last few weeks. Mark and his team were able to catch every angle so that we had plenty of options to choose from. We actually ended up with TOO MANY amazing pictures from the day that it has been hard to select which prints we want. I will be recommending Mark Adrian Photography to all my friends near and far, not just in the Detroit area. He and his team have such a positive and fun energy we were very comfortable including them in our special day. I could tell that they were enjoying the wedding as much as my husband and I and it made all the difference. THANK YOU SO MUCH MARK ADRIAN PHOTOGRAPHY. Can’t wait to hire you guys again for our family photos some day.

loosened the wedding party up to get some awesome shots. I would 100% recommend Mark Adrian Photography to anyone. I promise you will not be disappointed!

zing and I feel that I ripped him off!!!! Thank you so much mark.

st impression. After that, no one compared to Mark. I knew he was our photographer! When he did our engagement pictures, they turned out so beautiful that I could not believe it! On our wedding day, Mark came to my hotel room and greeted me. He let me know that my now husband was doing great. Mark, your kindness toward everyone, especially my grama, made my heart so happy. We couldn't have been more blessed to have you a part of our day. The photos taken of my wedding day surpassed my expectations! Future brides and grooms, if you are looking for someone who is honest, genuine, and over all classy person with a fun spirit, then Mark is your guy. I promise you will not be disappointed at all!

und on getting the pictures to us! It was a great experience. We would definitely recommend any couple to book Mark for their special occasion!!

ing above and beyond; and for capturing the day so beautifully!

s great direction and miraculously made my husband and I look and feel like models. Our pictures came out better than we could have hoped for and captured our personalities perfectly!

rofessional on everything that he does and is there to help throughout your wedding day. I would refer him to anyone that needs a photographer, especially a wedding photographer. He and his partner Lindsay, were absolutely amazing and were willing to do anything to get the best shot. They were very particular on the back drop and even the reflection in the picture, which showed us right there that our pictures were going to be great. Mark is a character and made the day very interesting and fun. We absolutely love our pictures that he provided us and our family keeps telling us how beautiful and fantastic they are. Mark, we thank you for everything that you have done for us and we would never have had such a terrific day without your help! Thank you The Cox’s

time leading up to the big day. Everyone involved in our photos ( bridal party, parents, close friends and family) were so impressed with him! Mark and team were so upbeat, all smiles, and relaxed that everyone else was able to just enjoy the day! It’s been 2 weeks and we are still talking about him. The turn around on getting the digital proofs was shockingly fast and lines of communication have always been open. At no point did I feel like I was waiting to hear back from Mark. You will not regent choosing Mark Adrian Photography!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ch fun with Mark and his wife. They work great together. It has now been a month and the people that attended the wedding are still talking about how great our photographer were. I would recommend anyone and everyone to use Mark and his team for any event. I love looking at all the pictures that I got the week after my wedding. Mark and his team were just as excited for us to get married as we were. if I did it over I would use Mark and his team for sure. Mark Thank you for everything. Anyone that doesn't use you is missing out. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Mark and the rest of his team. My Dream wedding would never would of happened with out him or him capturing it.

handled the second wedding in September 2018, and, again, did not disappoint. I would highly recommend them!

the kinds of photos that you want. Mark made sure that during the 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!

showing excitement to see the photos, my daughter and son-in-laws 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.

ra as where I am! I was nervous leading up to our wedding day bc 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 ;)

raph the wedding other then Mark. From the moment my daughter and 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!

ark made it a top priority to get to know us during our engagement 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!!!

tographers." Mark was truly a savior at my wedding. First, imagine 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.

rything about our day went as smooth as possible and we received 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!!!!

pher! My family & friends all loved the way Mark interacted with them and made us all feel comfortable!!

h, keeping the mood light, joyful and filled with laughter and it 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.

ly extremely organized, but he also has the most impressive demeanor 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.

e for the two days. He went out of his way to make sure our daughter'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.

ntation at his home about his services and what he's capable of 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!!

w made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We loved 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!!!

erything would go. The wedding day was a busy one but they really 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!

et, and so much fun! What really stands out about Mark is that he 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!

ectacular than reality! During the day, he got every shot that 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!

o work with and we could not have been happier. Mark has made her and her husband's special day the most memorable and precious gift.

s methods and ideas about how to get the best shots was inspiring. 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!

edding! We also did our engagement pictures with Mark and loved 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!

equest, to discuss our families, the types of pictures we like, 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!

e were so happy with their talent, professionalism, kindness, && 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!
