From the moment my husband and I first connected with Mark to inquire about his availability to photograph our wedding, we had such a great experience and I knew he was the person to help capture our special day. Mark is so friendly, professional and down to earth. We kept in communication throughout the months leading up to our big day and he was always so helpful whenever we had any questions or needed anything. Weddings in general can sometimes feel stressful, but Mark was a calm presence throughout the entire day - something we really appreciated. We were so excited to receive our photos and they were everything we hoped they would be! Every emotion and moment was captured so beautifully - these photos are ones we will cherish forever. I could not recommend Mark enough!

Way overpriced for the services that were received.
Spent 8000$ and only received 3 photos of the bride alone.
This was our greatest disappointment as this is the day and we weren't aware we had to ask specifically for photos of the bride alone after so much money spent on hair, makeup and dress.
In contrast theres almost 20 photos of the groom solo.
The groom and groomsmen photos were all shot indoors in front of a black curtain like a JCP photo. They were too dark and we had to specifically ask for them to be lightened along with a few other photos. There was a beautiful scenic area outside for photos to be taken so why these were taken in the most un-aesthetic location blows my mind.
Bride had to specifically ask for getting ready photos with the bridesmaid in the suite otherwise there wouldnt have been any. Even with asking there are only 4 that were provided and they are mediocre at best.
Our video package that we spent a lot of money on wasn't of what we had asked for. We had paid extra to have another minute to the highlight video so we could have a comprehensive highlight of the full day but we only received a highlight of ceremony and then a full ceremony unedited video. The full ceremony was nice but not exactly what we asked for. I feel like he didnt remember or review what we had asked for when picking our package and making our requests.
We also felt that we didnt receive a lot of direction and assistance in posing and a lot of the photos werent the most flattering or unique positions. We took photos in one small area although there were so many close walkable spots we couldve used for variety.
He also had the bride hide the train behind her in ALL photos. Its such a shame because it was the highlight of the dress and theres maybe one photo of the train. No photos of bridea nd father walking down the aisle from behind.
There arent any photos of guests at the dinner table. Or any photos at dinner at all. We didn't think we needed to request this but we dont have any photos of guests outside of the dance floor which are always mediocre photos anyways. So this was another disappointment.
lastly, he was late in the morning which resulted in a rushed pre ceremony photo session and a lot of stress for the party rushing around and trying to get the necessary photos. This could be why theres barely any photos of the bride alone or getting ready photos with bridesmaids and mother/mother in laws. This also led to the drone not being able to be used which was another highlight we were excited for but there
"wasnt time".
Overall VERY disappointed in the services provided for the amount of money spent. We have spent months in regret and disappointment to the point where we didnt even look at the photos for months.

This is unfortunate to hear, it is not my intention or goal to have my couples feel this w...
ay after their wedding day. I've re-reviewed your gallery (which frankly are not mediocre in the slightest) and can understand your frustrations with some missed expectations, although I feel a few points should be addressed directly below.
Your wedding at the Hyatt Vail in December (in the middle of winter) presented many challenges that may have not aligned with your vision but we tried our best to circumvent unexpected shortcomings on the day of as best as we could.
With the heavy snowfall and inclement weather, I may have been behind by 15-20 minutes due to unexpected traffic conditions (after heavy snowfall the night prior with continuing conditions the next day) but my second photographer arrived early and started the details process on time as promised. Both of your getting ready suites were unkept and too small/dark to obtain our typical prep photos, given why we had to pivot to having the entirety of the prep and pre-ceremony family photos done in the hotel lobby. Had we not done this, this entire segment of your gallery would have been practically unusable due to the space and lighting conditions in the rooms and nearby areas. We moved large pieces of furniture and kindly asked hotel guests to move to accommodate you and your wedding party/extended family in the lobby (which we had to wait for in many cases, causing delays on our timeline).
Your video package were small add ons that were delivered as described. The drone was not used because it was snowing and temperatures too cold the entire day. You were notified of this ahead of time, as well as promptly refunded. I also sent you a hard drive with all your raw photos and deliverables at your request (and no charge to you) to make up for any dissatisfaction you may have experienced.
Due to the nature of a hotel during peak winter season, outside temperatures were in the teens with 6-8 inches of snowfall. While re-reviewing your gallery I don't understand how you feel that you have "spent months in regret and disappointment" to the extent you are claiming. I think a lot of your frustrations are being placed on the photographer (which went above and beyond contractual obligations) when perhaps better planning and special requests should have been noted to us in advance to better serve you.
Regardless of my rebuttal, I feel sorry that things didn't turn out the way you envisioned. I wish you two the best.
Any questions?

Mark was amazing to work with. On the day of he chose a great second shooter who was just as dedicated to the detail as he was and they worked like a well oiled machine. Mark paid attention to every last detail and made sure to in the formal photos to pause and fix anything that would look off before taking the shot and he also took some abosulty amazing candid shots. He was everthing we wanted in our photographer and would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a more artistic style to your wedding photos. He chose the perfect lighting opportunities and delivered us great photos.

Mark was one of the first vendors we booked for our day, and we are so unbelievably happy we did. His attention to detail is incredible, and his final product is worth every penny. I would recommend him to any of our friends who will need a wedding photographer in the future.

Mark was very friendly, professional and detail oriented.
Wedding days could be a lot, but with mark he was able to connect with my husband and myself at different parts of the day to capture getting ready photos and memories throughout the day with family and friends
Mark was very quick to respond with any questions and had a quick timeline to work with and got everything we wanted.
Would highly recommend if you love working with a kind and great soul.

Absolutely perfect photos of our big day!
Mark was not only professional but courteous and attentive to details on our day.
Mark was able to capture these beautiful moments with our family and friends amongst the craziness. If you're looking for a creative, professional and genuinely great person to record your big day, I highly recommend booking Mark Blake By The West.
And he got our photos back to us in a week!
You won't be disappointed!

Hiring Mark for our elopement was the best decision we have ever made. Not only was our photographer, we was our videographer! His attention to detail that went into every photo was truly appreciated. He made the entire process of shooting and filming our special day, seamless. We could not imagine working with anyone else. Mark is a dream!

Mark was one of first vendor picks. His cinematic style fully aligned with our vision for our day. Unfortunately, Mark got Covid and was unable to make our wedding but sent 2 competent replacements. He proceeded to offer us a complimentary session with him a week later to make sure our vision came to life. Throughout the entire process his communication was top notch and he was receptive of our feedback. Thanks again, Mark!

Mark is truly the BEST photographer and such a wonderful person to work with!! My husband and I didn’t know exactly what we wanted in terms of wedding photos but we knew we loved Mark’s work. Mark’s easygoing & professional attitude helped guide us to the services that were best for us, and when our venue cancelled on us and we had to entirely re-plan our wedding, he was SO flexible and helped us restructure our package to accommodate a new location and timeline. Throughout the entire planning process he was super communicative and thoughtful. The day of, he and his team ran things incredibly smoothly, took advantage of every moment and helped us get in some extra shots, and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera (something my husband and I struggle with) - we received a ton of compliments from our already-married friends about how professional they were throughout the day. Not to mention - he and his team stuck it out through a freak hailstorm during our ceremony with us!! We really can’t recommend Mark enough, & are so grateful to have had such an awesome photographer on our day!!

Mark Blake was the very first choice we made for our big day and it turned out to be the best one we would make! Creating a story and true art though photos was our highest priority and Mark delivered something beyond our wildest dreams. His art form is unique yet has a timeless feel. The emotion of our moments really came through and you can see the rawness and beauty of the memory. His use of light and dark is truly an art. He was able to direct us to create every shot and we felt completely comfortable with his kind energy. Everyone can’t stop commenting on how stunning our photos are and says they look like they are from a magazine. He really captured both the amazing mountain backdrops and us in every shot. I cried many tears of joy when I saw our photos! Thank you so much Mark.

Where do I start. Mark really helped us plan our wedding in a sense. We knew we wanted something small, out West, natural, and easy. Mark helped us narrow down where we wanted to get married, was there to bounce ideas off of, and had an amazing attitude throughout the whole thing. Day of, he was on the ball, quick to keep things going when we inevitably ran out of time, and was well organized. Not to mention, he has a corgi, so you know he’s good people. Mark stole our hearts from the first photo we saw, and he’s lived up to that expectation. Get ready Denver area, Mark’s about to take the town by storm.

Our story of finding Mark as our wedding videographer actually started when we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID and book new vendors that were available for our new date. I swear it was perfect fate that we found him and we are so grateful for it because Mark is freaking TALENTED! Booking him as our wedding videographer was one of the best investments we made in wedding planning. Not only is he just such a great and kind person, but he it totally and fully invested in you and creating an incredible memory for you for a lifetime. Mark worked his butt off capturing each moment of our day and was smiling the entire time. He makes you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and will cue you what to do through each snippet. My father couldn't make our wedding so Mark recorded special moments of our day and expedited getting footage to us so I could send them to him right away and he could feel like he was there.
We have probably watched our wedding video at least a couple hundred times by now and each time we watch I can't stop crying. He perfectly embodied the love my husband and I have for one another, the love we felt from our family and friends that day, and that magic feeling of your dream wedding day.
It is true whatever everyone says about your wedding day, it FLIES by and as much as you want to remember every little moment, you simply can't as the bride and groom. I 100% recommend booking a videographer (specifically Mark Blake By the West, he is truly one of the best in the biz) because you be able to relive your wedding day over and over again and never forget the moments only a cinematic video can capture.
Thank you so much Mark!! We will forever cherish this beautiful video and memory you have created for us!!

All my husband and I can say is WOW! First of all, we got married during the pandemic and ended up having to scratch our 200+ guest wedding and instead opted for an intimate 9 person elopement. I am SO glad we have our wedding on film to show all of our friends and family who could no longer attend. Mark was extremely kind and professional from start to finish. From our first phone call, I could tell he was GOOD- he really got to know us and that 100% translated into our video. Mark was quick to respond to any questions I had. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Honestly, I could go on and on here about all the great work he did! I am so excited to have this video for the rest of our lives. Our video truly is artwork and does not feel like the stereotypical wedding video.

When we started planning our wedding, we knew we wanted to work with Mark and quickly realized our decision to move forward with hiring him as our photographer was going to be one we felt extremely confident about. From the beginning, Mark was so helpful - talking through potential locations, calling parks offices regarding permits and being extremely responsive to our million and one questions and shifting visions. We did our engagement shoot in RMNP and weather was less than ideal (20 degrees with 50 mph winds), but Mark managed to turn mania into magic! We couldn't get over how good the photos turned out and how well he was able to capture our love for one another. Fast forward to our wedding day. We had a tight schedule (thanks to me), but we never felt rushed. Mark encouraged us to enjoy each and every moment, and he captured it wonderfully. We even hired Mark to shoot some video at the last minute, and he absolutely killed it.
We can't thank Mark enough for being apart of our wedding day and capturing it in a way that we'll remember forever. 10/10 would recommend!

Mark was absolutely amazing. We hired him to film our big day in Paint Mines, Colorado. I would hire him again for photography and film in a heartbeat. He was professional and personable at the same time. He took the time to learn more about us as a couple and our story and translated it into a beautiful film of our elopement ceremony. He communicated every detail from pricing to what he would be filming to setting up shots to final edit of the film and the music, all very well. He was very easy to work with and made organizing a wedding day a lot less stressful because he knew what he was doing. Can't recommend him enough. Just look at his work!

Working with Mark and his team was the best decision we could’ve made for our big day. We kept hearing “make sure to hire a good wedding photographer, as those photos will last a life time”. We also had a smaller, destination wedding so we wanted to make sure the folks that couldn’t attend our big day would see the photos and feel the love between everyone. And that is exactly what Mark did. We hired him for both photography and videography and we are so grateful we did. The quality of his work is remarkable and timeless. He truly captured every smile, every little (and big) moment of the day and it’s something I will forever cherish. Not to mention, my husband and I were worried that we would feel super uncomfortable in front of the camera, and Mark makes sure to direct you, but also pick up on natural moments and movements you already do as a couple. My whole family is thoroughly impressed with his work. Would 100% recommend him to a friend, and would absolutely book him again for future projects. Thank you, Mark!!

Mark was absolutely the best wedding photographer! From our engagement photo session to our wedding day, we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. He was so easy to work with and we felt very comfortable. We are definitely that awkward couple who can’t pose for anything but you would never know it! He made us look so good :) We get endless comments on our photos and can’t wait to have them hanging in our home.

I could not rave more about Mark. His style is so beautiful and elegant. He’s so sweet and even though I’m a really awkward person he made me look incredible! (In my opinion at least lol and I say that’s what counts most!) Our wedding video was perfect! The music in the background was perfect. Just everything was perfect. I couldn’t have imagined anything better. And especially coming from a very picky worry wart that’s saying a lot. I’m in complete awe of the work he has done.

Mark was absolutely amazing to work with. For a couple who was not comfortable being in front of the camera, he had all the tips and tricks to help us get comfortable while laughing and having fun! He was able to capture the most beautiful shots in any location and lighting. We truly appreciated the patience and understanding he provided for our big fat Indian wedding that was 300+ people and lasted a few days with all the ceremonies. Mark worked with us to make sure he got all the details of our ceremonies, times and really got to know us at a personal level instead of someone we were just working with. I highly recommend his services and did I mention he captured the most beautiful and flattering shots? Thanks Mark!

Mark worked with me a customizing a package since our wedding a little different than most 😉 he drove hours in the snow to capture our special day. He even drove back up two days later on his own because he wanted us to be 100% happy with the video my god I’m glad we took more footage because our video is amazing! It’s exactly what we want. Plus we got to hang out with mark again and meet his puppy 😍 I can not recommend mark enough!!! Everyone use him now!

After looking at Mark Blake Visuals' portfolio the pictures looked absolutely wonderful and what I am looking for wedding photography. We decided to move forward with an engagement shoot, which was somewhat difficult to book during his busy wedding season schedule. Unfortunately, the engagement pictures we received were sub-par and lacking in quality in comparison to what is exhibited on Mark Blake's website. The engagement photos were dark with shadows and some were even blurry and grainy. In most of the photos, my fiance and I are barely distinguishable. Mark Blake provided very little guidance as to poses and most of the pictures were taken at odd angles, distorting our figures. The engagement session was scheduled based on Mark Blake's suggested location and time, so I was surprised they turned out so poorly given the ideal circumstances. Ultimately, the photos received are unusable for engagement announcements and I will have to find another wedding photographer. I simply cannot risk having poor photos of my wedding day. I would advise booking an engagement session first to see if Mark Blake is a good fit.

Michelle and Jeff,
We do our best to accommodate the best conditions and weather for our ...
couples. We have no control over forecast predictions and base our scheduling on the most up to date information available in order to provide consistent and beautiful lighting for our shoots. The photos you received were in line with what is showcased on our website and frankly, the two of you look absolutely stunning. We found it strange you immediately booked another photographer before we even delivered your images.
In regards to your photos being too dark, barely distinguishable or distorted and to state we gave little to no guidance on the shoot is simply not true. Leaving one-star reviews and skewed facts where available after clearly explaining why we cannot refund your deposit seems unreasonable. Although hurtful to lose you two, we wish you the best in finding a photographer that better meets your vision.

Mark Blake Studios is a truly professional video company producing the most elegant and heart warming wedding videos I've ever come across. The staff is helpful and friendly, always making the wedding party feel at ease. Mark is a joy to be around and works with the couple with any situation that may arise. I saw other trailers he sent me and I was touched, but when it came to my own video, I was happy-crying from start to finish. Brides would tell me, "don't skip out or go cheap for your wedding video", and I'm glad I didn't. Mark Blake is worth every penny and I would highly recommend everyone to go with him. My wedding video is one that I will cherish forever.

Choosing Mark as our wedding photographer was the best decision we made for our wedding! It was very hard to pick a photographer since we were having a destination wedding. We did a lot of homework and our expectation for a wedding photographer was very high. When we saw Mark's photos for other weddings, we made the decision right away.
Unlike some other vendors we had (we had to keep tracking them), Mark was so timely and easy to reach whenever we had questions. We did not have a wedding planner, so we had no idea how to put together out timeline for the big day. Mark helped us a lot with that and he was so detail-oriented to make sure we had enough time to capture pictures of all precious moments.
During the wedding, Mark and his partner was so professional and respectful. Our families do not speak English, but Mark communicated with them and got all pictures without any problem. Everyone spoke so highly of him after the wedding. Also, the way he took the photos was just the right combination of posing and natural movement. We have done engagement photos with two other photographers--one posed us for all photos and the other just told us to move around as we like. Usually couples are not professional models, so both way could be a little bit awkward. Working with Mark was simply pleasant-- he captured all laughter, tears and funny moments. He also offered ideas for group pictures when we ran out of poses.
After the wedding, he was so thoughtful for sending few sneak peek photos with mothers for Mothers Day. Both of my mother and mother-in-law were sooooo touched! Also, to our surprise, Mark delivered all photos to us when we were still on honeymoon. They are just AMAZING--rich in color, magical use of light, aesthetic feelings in composition of picture, and most importantly-- document the meaningful day in our life. All I can say is that Mark not only captured the moments of our wedding, but also produced a movie for our happiest memories.
Thank you, thank you so much for everything!

We hired Mark Blake for our wedding in Tampa, FL in October of 2016. I can't say enough good things. We did our research before hand and we loved his work, but we had no idea what we were in for. Our wedding video is phenomenal, I personally can't stop watching it and have heard amazing things from my friends and family who have watched it!
Not only is Mark incredibly talented at his profession, but he is also a really awesome down to earth individual. We hired a videographer and we ended up with a friend!
P.S. His assistant/friend Sal is pretty dope too
Thanks guys!

I loved Mark's work and knew i had to have him for my wedding. Hiring him as my photographer and videographer was one of the best choices I made! His team was so patient and captured so many incredible photos and moments. Don't make the mistake of hiring a "friend of a friend" or a "cheaper" photographer. You get what you pay for and these photos/videos are all you will have left of your incredible day.

I cannot express how much I love my wedding photos. I wish we can rate more than 5 Stars. This photographer takes the cake!!! We have not stopped receiving compliments on our photos. Mark did a phenomenal job. He is extremely talented, and amazing to work with. Prior to our wedding, he got a and idea of the style we anticipated and he executed it beautifully. Our photos look like they came from a magazine. Super innovative and trendy. He was very polite and inviting throughout the entire experience. It was very clear that he absolutely loves what he does. He treated us like royalty and jumped for any request we had. He was very punctual with timing as we noticed he arrived very early to study our setup and get a feel for everything before go time. I've heard countless times from other couples that their biggest regret from their wedding was not hiring the right Photographer. You can rest assured that Mark will not disappoint. I am still in shock from his work. We are so happy and honored to have worked with Mark, and we will most certainly be using him again for any future events. Mark, We can't thank you enough!!!!

I cannot say enough about Mark's work on our big day. I was so nervous because I usually hate seeing myself on camera but knew that I had to have a video of our wedding. The whole process of securing Mark to do our wedding was seamless, and he made us feel comfortable from the beginning. Now, the day of, I didn't even feel like I was being filmed! He made it feel so effortless, and I was so excited to see the final product. Fast forward 9 months: I still watch my wedding trailer on a regular basis. It gives me the chills! His vision and artistry are truly praiseworthy. He provided us a tremendous service and gave us a gift that we cherish more than anyone will ever know! Oh and not to mention, his attention to detail (down to the packaging of the USB) is insane. Highly recommended.

Mark from Mark Blake Visuals has allowed us to relive all the beautiful memories experienced during our fairytale wedding. My husband and I chose Mark to capture our special day based off of some key factors—his creatively, his responsiveness/promptness and his extremely impressive portfolio. We met Mark about 1.5 years prior to our wedding for our engagement session which really got us excited for our main event. We made sure to book early because we did not want to miss the opportunity of reserving the exact vendors we wanted—Mark books really fast!
What a joy it was working with him and his partner! Many people aren’t used to being in front of the camera, which can make photos look awkward/forced. Thankfully, Mark made us feel very comfortable, creating such an array of beautiful and organic photos. Mark- we look forward to having you capture more precious moments in our lives! Keep up the great work!

Truth is I could go on and on about Mr. Mark Blake! From beginning to end of our experience with him, he was nothing short of brilliant! The photographer was the one part of my entire wedding planning I did not want to skimp on and I'm glad that after lots of searching I found him. We were on an extremely tight budget but knew that we wanted amazing pictures to remember this day for years to come and he delivered exactly that!
If you're searching, just take a moment to go to his page and look at his work.

We have one picture that he took when we were doing our "first look" and it started to rain. That one picture alone was worth the money we spent. Our names are Doug & Lizzy in case you wanted to see exactly the pictures I'm referring to.
Bottom line... best decision ever! He will be our photographer choice for our family forever! ...and all we can say is THANK YOU!!!
Love-
Lizzy & Doug

Mark was definitely the best part of my wedding! He did our engagement photo shoots and day of wedding photos. Him and his team are young and very professional and they take the most astonishing photos. None of our photos looked fake or staged, he was able to capture our authentic relationship.
He's very responsive and he was open for any ideas that I had. A few months after our engagement session, the high resolution files were lost (due to something out of everyone's control) and he was the one who offered to give us another session for free! It just showed my husband and I how much he cared about his clients. The day of our wedding he was such a pleasure to work with, and was dressed so professionally - so many of my newly engaged friends all asked me for his number so they care inquire for their own weddings.
We liked him so much when we first met up with him that we hired him to do the videography for our wedding too. And we also went with his slow motion photo booth! Which was so much fun, and unique! He took care of everything for us.
I 100% recommend him. Don't skimp out on photography, you get what you pay for, and it's what you'll have forever. And trust me, you won't regret going with Mark.

Mark and his team were on point start to finish. They arrived the day of the wedding ahead of schedule and completely ready to capture our big day. They were friendly and professional the entire time. We couldn't have felt more comfortable and HAPPY all day. I highly highly recommend Mark! He is so creative and extremely great to work with. You will not regret choosing mark. :)

I can not begin to say enough positive things about this vendor. First of all, he is a just a kind person who was is so easy to work with. He was in contact with us pre-wedding planning making sure he understood completely what was important to us to get filmed. We also changed times due to outdoor/scheduling issues and he was so easy to change things with.
We received a "sneak peak" in lightening fast time and the video is OUTSTANDING. Of course I posted it on FB and I have people who I have not spoken to in years compliment me on how different and truly amazing the video is. They said they felt like they were right there at the wedding.
DO NOT HESITATE TO USE MARK BLAKE WEDDING CINEMATOGRAPHY. I would give his name out any time. He is one of a kind and we are honored to have shared our daughter's wedding day with him.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SERVICES MARK BLAKE!!!

Mark did my ceremony video and it was exactly what I wanted. it was hard to find a videographer that had a creative eye and not do a traditional boring wedding video. Mark understood exactly what we wanted and our video came out beautiful! i highly recommend mark to all my friends.
