Where do we even begin? Starting with our engagement shoot, Mark and Beth made us feel so comfortable, and were so good at capturing the way we feel about each other. They have a great eye for what will make a good shot and we’re super attentive to details. They made the shoot so fun and we ended up with a great mix of formal shots and more fun/spicy shots. We had originally planned to just do our engagement shoot with them, as we were getting married out of state but when we got the proofs back, there was no question about paying the travel cost to have them capture our wedding day. They were totally on top of the planning process and really let us be creative with the shots that we wanted and what the day was going to look like. They were there for us every step of the way, and will make you feel like you can handle anything your crazy aunt or creepy family friend is going to throw your way on your day - they’ve seen it all and they play defense for you. Wedding day rolls around and they’re in full on production mode. When I say that I didn’t have to worry about a single thing on the wedding day, I mean it. They had our schedule, kept us on track, and most importantly, they kept us relaxed. I cannot stress enough how special it was to have them both there to get both angles of all of the moments - it’s not something you really think about until you see how special it is to have both sides of the first looks, walking down the aisle, and the first kiss. As my husband and I talked about the day on our way to our honeymoon a few days later, we agreed that choosing Mark and Beth was by far the greatest decision we made for our day. We loved them, and they gave us the most precious memories to cherish for ever. Their work speaks for itself, there’s no question about that, but I think the most important thing they bring is the passion they have for what they do, and I think that’s what made us trust them as much as we did. We really could not have asked for a better pair to work with, and every one in our family LOVED them. If there was any recommendation I had for future brides, it’s to let Mark and Beth be your people.

Mark took our engagement pictures, and he knew just how to keep our session fun and energetic. The pictures turned out absolutely gorgeous.
Mark and Beth helped capture our wedding day, and they were so great to work with. They were very friendly, organized and efficient..And their work? PHENOMENAL! While the sun was not in our favor the day of our wedding, Mark and Beth knew just what to do to still get amazing photos. Mark and Beth captured our very special day, and we have amazing pictures to look back on for the rest of our lives. We would highly recommend hiring Mark Malec Photography!!

Mark and Beth were outstanding to work with! From our very first engagement photos to our wedding photos, everything was amazing! We were nervous about the photography process because neither of us really knew what to expect or do. Mark and Beth made the whole process easy and fun! On top of that, they were extremely communcative, well-organized, and helped make sure the day went off without a hitch. Everyone commented not only how amazing the photos were, but how smooth the whole process went. We had a great time working with them and we hope to keep working with them for future milestones! Thanks, Mark and Beth!

Mark and Beth were extremely professional and helped make our wedding a huge success. They were flexible, always there when we needed them to be, but never in the way or overbearing. They beautifully captured all the moments we wanted them to, they included all of our family and friends, and the finished product is outstanding. Mark and Beth executing everything perfectly, the event itself flowed very well. We would highly recommend them for weddings.

Mark and Beth truly left us speechless at the end of the night! They were so loving and patient the whole time! Truly made us feel like our needs and wants were a priority and we knew the whole time that we were in good hands! Half of the time they blended in so well that we have no idea they were there! Not only were they incredibly kind to us, the bride and groom, but also to our guests! They took time to visit with different people and we got so many compliments about that! Everyone told us how impressed they were with Mark and Beth! This is the third family wedding they have done for the brides family and they have another one coming up! They truly feel like they are apart of our family! I told my new husband at the end of the night we have found our lifelong photographers and we won’t go to anyone else! Mark and Beth are amazing with kids and know how to take a shy little girl or boy and bring the giggles out! Words cannot express how happy we are with everything and how excited we are to get the pictures back! They are simply good people that care! On your wedding day you are their priority and they make you feel so loved and so beautiful! My husband was nervous about the pictures but once they started those nerves disappeared! We are so grateful for everything and cannot wait to get those pictures back!!

Mark and Beth were so fun and easy to work with and helped the day go so smoothly by helping us stay on schedule throughout the day and night. They made us feel so comfortable so we could be 100% ourselves while taking pictures. From helping with the Groom’s missing tie to capturing all of the little moments throughout the day, we can not thank them or recommended them enough!

I would highly recommend Mark and Beth Malec for your wedding photography! They were so great to work with! Communication was excellent- Mark returned emails and calls promptly and was always available to review questions about timeline. He was extremely organized- with the timeline and he worked from a list of shots that he/we wanted. They were professional but also a lot of fun to have around. The wedding party commented on how he made them feel relaxed and never hurried. Guests commented that they seemed to be everywhere capturing every moment of the special day. This is the bonus of having 2 photographers! We have only seen the sneak peaks so far, but wow they are amazing! He truly captured the love and happiness on my son and his bride’s faces. These are memories beautifully frozen in time. He is priced very reasonably for the amazing service he provides- we couldn’t be more happy with our choice!

Mark and Beth did a great job with our wedding photos! We initially had signed with another photographer and 2 weeks before our wedding, I found myself desperately looking for a new photographer. Mark set up some zoom calls to get to know us and find out what we were looking for, since we weren't going to have time to meet in person before the big day. He did such a great job with those meetings that I wasn't worried about the fact we had not met in person prior to the wedding day. On the day of the wedding, Mark and Beth made the day easy and fun. I feel like they captured all of the posed family photos we requested and they also captured some amazing "in the moment" shots with our guests. The only thing I wish I had done differently was have my son remove his transition lens glasses. There were so many beautiful photos where it was hard to see his face because of the dark lenses. Although Mark did a great job lightening up photos I requested be edited, I would recommend if anyone in your wedding party has transition glasses that they either take them off or wear a different pair.

Mark Malec Photography captured our engagement photos as well as our wedding day. Mark is incredibly personable and a joy to work with! The engagement session was fun and not really knowing what poses we wanted to do, Mark had all of the ideas and the photos were stunning! When the wedding day arrived, we also were able to work alongside Beth. Both Mark and Beth strive to make sure your day is so special from the moment they walk through the door. They again had wonderful ideas for pictures with all of the wedding party as well as just the bride and groom. They are patient, pay attention to all of the details, are super helpful - even doing tasks unrelated to pictures! (like grabbing me a water) and have an itinerary they help you create leading up to your big day so everything flows and runs seamlessly.
Do not hesitate to hire Mark Malec Photography. You will not regret it!!

Mark and Beth were phenomenal to work with. They were very communicative throughout the booking process. Their blend of professionalism and fun energy were all we could have hoped for in a photographer. They helped put at ease on our big day and did a great job of making the day flow smoothly.

Mark and Beth are a godsend of photographers. From our engagement photos, which turned out amazing. To how relaxing they made our wedding day photos we could not be happier. They understand how hectic weddings can be and made sure to have fun with taking pictures. They are so creative and energetic that the pictures are a breeze. What impressed us the most was how well they worked with the kids in the wedding party. They were magicians on getting the attention of the kiddos for just enough time to snap a picture. Making sure to get them to smile and feel special on that day too (my nieces loved it when they were called princesses). We cannot thank Mark and Beth enough for capturing our special day, and we can’t wait to reminisce on the pictures for years to come. We can’t wait to go back when we have kids in the future and for family portraits.

My Husband and I are completely blown away by Mark and Beth. Sam does not like getting his picture taken, but had an absolute blast with these two. Not only are they photographers, they are a great support system, dress fixers, drink getters, and so much more. The kindness they showed us, our wedding party, family, and guests did not go unnoticed. We have received SO many texts and calls about how amazing they are. Mark and Beth will walk you through every stop and process, guiding you along the way. The way these two work together made our wedding day SO much smoother. I cannot wait to continue working with them in the future. If I could give these two more than 5 stars I would in a heartbeat! Mark and Beth, you guys are truly the best! We cannot wait to get our pictures back!

Mark and his team were professional, light-hearted, and committed to quality throughout.
From the initial meetup for engagement photos we immediately knew that Mark was the right choice, and the drive and humor that the entire team brought to the pictures on the wedding day only made it more obvious they were the right choice.

We had a great experience with Mark. He was patient when we had to wait for family members to arrive. He alleviated our stress and calmed us during the photo shoot. He took his time arranging the shots and paid attention to small details--who knew that phones in pockets would show up in a picture? Very professional and fun to work with. Highly recommend!

They did a great job with my son's wedding. They were so flexible and willing to do whatever the Bride felt comfortable with. Positive and efficient, they got great shots without holding up any of the events and clearly are great at what they do. They helped make the couple's day extra special and stress free. Great communication throughout. Highly recommend!

Mark and Beth made our wedding day so spectacular, smooth, fun, and memorable. They were referenced to my sister about three years ago, and now Mark and Beth have done both of our weddings. They will forever now be part of our lives as Carson and I got to know them better throughout the process. If you want a team that makes every vision of yours come to life, alts with you on a whim when you change your mind day of, and keeps true to their style while meeting your needs, these two are the ones for you! I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone I know looking for a photographer–I simply cannot put into words how great they are!

My husband and I could not be more pleased with our wedding photography/videography experience! When it was time to start planning for our big day, we reached out to Mark and Beth and they were with us every step of the way. From our engagement shoot, to planning for wedding day with helping us create an organized/detailed shot list, to being with us on our big day, we felt confident that Mark and Beth would keep us on track and provide us with amazing photos/video to capture our favorite moments. Mark and Beth made communicating and planning easy and stress-free by being available any time we had questions, clarifications, or photo ideas. On wedding day, they calmed our nerves and jumped into action which allowed us to enjoy our day while they worried about the details and helped execute our plans. Mark and Beth were personable, professional and fun which helped us and our wedding party, families and friends feel comfortable. To top it all off, we were provided a photo preview the day after our wedding that emulated our vision of the winter wedding we dreamed of. We are confident we made the absolute best decision when we signed our contract with Mark and Beth, and truly believe they are the best of the best! -Hannah and Mark, December 10, 2022

Mark and Beth are simply the best. We cannot speak highly enough of them. We did an engagement shoot with Mark over the summer and his love of love was very apparent and we knew we were in great hands for our wedding. Now that the day has passed, we feel so incredibly lucky that we stumbled across their page and inquired about a quote. At the end of the evening my husband said “Mark and Beth were…amazing. I cannot imagine us having anyone else shoot the wedding. They were perfect.” And he’s right. They setup amazing shots even in the blistering cold weather and with any bumps that were hit, they assured us that everything would be fine and helped to find solutions. The sneak peaks of our photos are breathtaking and we are so excited to see more! Thank you so much, Mark and Beth. Your knowledge and experience made our day go off without a hitch and the photos are gorgeous!

Mark & Beth were one of the best decisions we had made for our wedding! The whole process was smooth and organized, and their personalities are out of this world! From the moment we met them at the engagement photoshoot their level of expertise and teamwork was incredible. With just four simple steps they were able to create a scene that develops unbelievably beautiful photos. They truly know how to create & capture moments and make them last forever. In preparation for the wedding day, Mark & Beth always were thinking one step a head. I put together a shot list of photos we wanted to be taken on our wedding day, and I couldn't believe my eyes when I witnessed these two talented people bring that shot list to life the day of the wedding...it was so organized and efficient! We got so many compliments from guests on our photographers and the positive energy they brought to the day. With Mark Malec Photography you aren't just getting a photographer you are getting an unforgettable experience! The day of the wedding, Mark & Beth were great at keeping us on schedule...the day goes by so fast that it was so nice having someone provide direction on where we had to be and when. I could go on and on about Mark and Beth because they are just incredible people and I would definitely work with them again. You can truly tell that they both love what they do by the enthusiasm, professionalism, determination, eye to details, and overall team work they bring to their work! We are beyond thankful to have met Mark & Beth and so happy to have had them at our wedding!!! Thank you both so much for everything!

They made our wedding day MORE AMAZING (the most amazing day of our lives) than we could have ever asked for. We would recommend them 1000000 times over again!

Mark and Beth was fantastic to work with. My Bride and I had no worries and trusted them with everything. You can really notice when someone loves what they do because it shows in their work and how they treat people.
Mark and Beth were professional, on time, able to adjust to new developments, and a great pleasure.
I was the groom and it felt like they were family because of their excitement! I would highly recommend Mark Malek Photography!

Mark and Beth go beyond being wedding photographers. They were professional, fun, and most importantly, took care of us. I will forever be grateful that we hired Mark and Beth for our wedding day. Mark brought an amazing energy that made it fun to take portrait photos and he kept the energy of everyone up throughout the day. Beth kept us all organized and was even able to wrangle groomsmen and grandparents alike.
Not only were they professional and skillful at what they did, they were flexible and did not make us worry about a thing. Our outdoor wedding was hit with two rounds of strong thunderstorms. They handled it without a second thought and kept with us. Going above and beyond, they were excited about how this would affect our photos and relieved any stress. We did not have a day of wedding coordinator and they stepped in to cue all of our family and bridal party to walk down the aisle. Most of all, they were fun to be around and a joy to work with. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

Mark and Beth were rockstars on our wedding day. We HIGHLY recommend them.
They brought a ton of enthusiasm and energy. Each step of the way, they were there to capture memories and support us; they didn't miss a beat. The way they posed us and the wedding party for pictures was so fun and memorable. Mark and Beth were very organized, and made sure we didn't miss a single picture with friends/family we planned on getting. Numerous guests commented on how much they loved the photographers. Last but not least, they released a few pictures the day after our wedding, and they looked spectacular!

My husband and I eloped. We wanted a private ceremony with video and photos. Mark and Beth are the best! They made our day special and they are just fun to be around. We are so grateful and will be recommending them to all we know

I highly recommend Mark Malec Photography to any bride searching for an AMAZING photographer. Mark and Beth are a great team and make everything go so smoothly. From the very first consult, to tons of emails with questions, to flexibility with family, to helping the big day go smoothly - Mark and Beth do it all. For my wedding, Beth couldn't be there, but Mark was sure to communicate with me and find an awesome fill in. I got a lot of comments about how great Mark was and how he was the "hype man" we needed! I cannot say enough great things about Mark Malec Photographer!

If you are an anxious bride Mark and Beth are the photographers for you! I must have asked a million and one questions about everything: how my time line should look, what if it rains, can we have smoke bombs? Not only did they answer all my questions with ease they even gave suggestions on how to incorporate the cemetery behind our venue into some incredible pictures. They were super professional through the whole day, showcasing their ability to wrangle various groups of people for photos and always being at the right place at the right time to capture all of our happy and funny moments. I never felt like I had to peek out before my big entrance to see things like the flower dudes or the bridal party entrances because I knew that they would be right there to captured them. Mark and Beth were the right people to photograph my wedding and I'm sure they'd be perfect for yours.

Mark and his wife Beth have been so wonderful throughout Evan and my wedding planning process, I am so, so happy we chose them for our photography.
Mark and his wife have an incredible ability to make everyone in the photos genuinely smile because of the environment they create-- so enjoyable and fun! My husband is not a big picture guy, but the photos they get of Evan, the smile they can get out of him, is just amazing. I see the man I genuinely love in these photos instead of the awkward or uncomfortable smile I get with other photographers.
Mark and Beth are communicative, timely, talented, and so wonderful. Do yourself a favor and book with them!

Hiring Mark and Beth as our photographers was easily one of the best decisions we made in our entire wedding planning process.
Right after our first conversation we knew that they would be the best fit for my husband and I. From the first meeting, to planning engagement photos, to wedding pre planning; and the wedding day itself, they were incredibly kind and accommodating.
My husband enjoyed Beth’s attention and detail while him and the boys were getting ready. Mark stayed with us girls and did every photo I could think of and took great care of us girls. Mark reminded me of the time of the day and did me the favor of moving the day along. They moved the photos along so quickly that we were ahead of schedule and got to spend our cocktail hour spending that extra time with our loved ones. Which we are so grateful for!
They also did a fantastic job of keeping everything fun for everyone involved, while being detail oriented and professional.
Mark and Beth are LEGIT the best and took great care of us. We highly recommend this husband and wife photography duo for your special day!

If you are looking for an amazing photographer for your wedding, stop looking and chose Mark and Beth!! They both are absolutely wonderful! Between engagement photos and the wedding, I don’t have enough words to explain how happy I am with them. They go above and beyond to make your day fun and to capture all the beautiful moments. When deciding on a photographer for such an important day like your wedding, you don’t want to make the wrong decision. Because you can’t go back, I never once questioned or regretted my choice on choosing Mark Malec Photography.

10 out of 5 stars ! Mark and Beth did an amazing job making the day great! Mark showed up earlier then expected and was also a helping hand to make sure we had what we needed and was comfortable while getting ready. Like all weddings, we had a deadline and Mark made sure the ladies stayed on track as best as they could. Thank you for a great experience and having the patience with our "Brady Bunch" family !!

Mark and Beth helped to keep the day running smoothly, even with a thunderstorm rolling in between the ceremony and dinner we were able to get all of our family and group pictures done! The rain on you wedding day guarantee is huge, it is allowing us to still get all of the beautiful outdoor shots that we were unable to get due to the storm!

We have the most beautiful pictures of my daughter's wedding! Mark and Beth were amazing to work with through the entire experience! We got incredible engagement photos, and then as we continued through the process, working with Mark and Beth proved to be the best choice we could have ever made. They were so flexible and rolled with the punches as plans kept changing over and over again because of covid. We can't thank them enough for all their patience and help in such a crazy year!!! And they did such a great job of capturing everything on the big day!!! They remained calm through everything and were so easy to work with. And they made it so fun -- Lauren and Tommy had such a great time getting their pictures taken!!! We absolutely love all the photos....amazing shots!!! They truly helped make the day a wonderful memory!!!

Mark and Beth made our wedding experience absolutely amazing from start to finish! From the moment we first contacted Mark, he responded to our emails/calls/texts quickly and with so much enthusiasm and professionalism. We didn’t have much experience with posing for photos at our engagement shoot, but Mark and Beth walked us through everything! I received so many compliments on our engagement photos. Before the wedding, we met with Mark and Beth in their beautiful studio and discussed all of the shots that we wanted to get. They gave us some great ideas for other photos too! On the wedding day, they made everything flow so smoothly! Mark photographed the bridesmaids and Beth photographed the groomsmen. They went above and beyond expectations, helping to ensure that I was hidden from the groom, orchestrating the first look with my dad and bride/groom letter opening before the ceremony, assuring family members that their child’s grass stains wouldn’t be seen in photos, and getting the groom Tylenol as the night progressed! My niece is two, and Mark and Beth helped to keep her engaged and smiling in the shoot. So many family members and friends told me how fabulous they thought our photographers were! They even helped me with a surprise for the groom (talk to Beth if you’re interested!). Before leaving, Mark made sure that we had all of the photos that we wanted. Beyond that, they have incredibly reasonable prices, which is much appreciated! I absolutely LOVED our experience with Mark and Beth and HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer. They are both amazing at photography and such amazing people! Thank you for making our day so special and capturing those moments!

Amazing- Would Recommend to Everyone!
Mark and Beth were both amazing! They were friendly, helpful and professional from the beginning to the end!
Before the wedding they made sure to check in multiple times- including discussing the plan and the pictures we wanted. We loved how they helped us plan the timeline of the day from the pictures. This made sure we had time for all of the pictures that we wanted.
On our wedding day they were VERY helpful in keeping us on time/track. They did a great job of making family pictures as quick and painless as possible. You could tell that they thought about our day before hand- we had requested a non traditional picture during our ceremony and they were 100 percent on board with the idea- but still made sure that we got the traditional picture during this time as well. They also remembered from our engagement session details that they then suggested incorporating into some pictures that we had planned at our reception- making those pictures all the more meaningful!
We have received SO many compliments on Mark and Beth from family. Everyone has commented how personable they were and how we are going to have so many beautiful pictures to choose from- we couldn't agree more with them!

Mark and Beth were seriously the BEST to work with! My husband and I don't really like our pictures to be taken and during our engagement shoot Mark made us so comfortable and got a ton of really good photos. He even is good with dogs so we got to include our dog in our pictures! For the wedding Mark and Beth helped out so much and it felt like they were part of our wedding party. They are so fun and had great ideas for shots they wanted to take. I would hire them a thousand times over and plan to use them for all our photography needs in the future! Please hire them for your wedding! You won't regret it!
