Marc and his assistant did a wonderful job taking the photos for my wedding! We have so many wonderful photos! Marc captured our vision so well and my husband and I had a blast taking the photos! Our wedding party did as well! Marc and his assistant had so many really fun ideas for poses for the pictures! I would hire them again for any future event!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Mark and his incredible team! From our engagement photos to our wedding day, they were absolutely phenomenal. Mark’s professionalism and attention to detail were unmatched, and his team worked seamlessly to ensure every moment was captured beautifully.
Mark was the best communicator throughout the entire process—always responsive, organized, and genuinely invested in making sure everything was perfect. He was the one part of our wedding planning that I felt completely confident about, and he delivered above and beyond our expectations.
The photos and videos are breathtaking! Mark and his team captured every key moment perfectly, and their guidance with poses made us feel so comfortable and confident. They have such a creative eye, and the results speak for themselves—we will cherish these memories forever.
If you’re looking for a photographer who is professional, talented, and an absolute joy to work with, Mark and his team are the ones to choose. We can’t recommend them highly enough!

First, I’d like to say that we couldn’t have chosen a better photographer/videographer for our Wedding. All of our photos and videos turned out amazing. We’ve been getting so many compliments on everything. Marc was very helpful with any questions we had and had a very quick response time. We appreciate everything they did for us! The quality of their work is outstanding! If I had to do it all over again Marc is who I’d choose to capture my day!

Marc was amazing! He provided timely responses to my questions leading up to the wedding, which always put me at ease and made me feel prepared. My venue was a tight space and Marc made videoing possible, with multiple angles and getting creative to record the ceremony. He also listened to my concerns about odd angles for pictures and captured the day beautifully!!
As I spent quite a bit of the wedding day with Marc, he was caring, quick, and somehow got the whole day with one shooter!
PLUS we got all of our photos (900+) and the video of our ceremony back in a week!!
I'd highly recommend Marked by Grace for any wedding or event!!

Marc was incredible from start to finish. His professionalism put my wife and I at ease and all of our guests. We purchased a package of wedding day photos, bridal portraits and video highlights. Marc not only delivered but went above and beyond our expectations.
If you’re in the Raleigh area I highly recommend Marked by Grace Productions.

Mark was amazing to work with for our wedding. We did a small scale indian wedding and I thought the pictures would reflect that. Instead, it reflected beyond what I could have imagined. He got beautiful, artistic shots I could only dream of and captured the intimacy of the moment perfectly. I really would encourage everyone to go with Marked by Grace because it stress-free and completely worth it. True professional. The editing on the photos was also perfect, not overly saturated or anything.

Thanks Snehal :) You are too kind!

Marc was an instrumental part of our wedding day! He is beyond organized, communicates well, puts everyone at ease, and works well with all other vendors! We couldn’t have asked for more! He is also very hands on and has an eye for detail--he checked in about timeline throughout the day, adjusted wardrobes, and didn’t miss a beat! We are loving all the moments captured!

Thank so much Ruth! I enjoyed capturing your beautiful day!

Marc was great! We scheduled in November for an April engagement photo session. Any time I had questions or reached out, he responded quickly. The photo session itself was great. My fiancé and I are not particularly comfortable in front of a camera, but we were put very much at ease by Marc's guidance for posing. We also got our photos back in record time, less than two weeks! The pictures came out great, and all our friends and family love them. We're having a hard time picking favorites to display!

So glad to hear! I enjoyed my time with the two of you! Congrats on the upcoming wedding!

We hired Marc for our 3-day wedding events and he was great to work with! We used Marc for photography and videography and both turned out amazing! He was there early to get setup and be ready at event start time and he and his team were so friendly and were willing to take photos and videos of whatever was asked. The turnaround time for the photos and videos was so fast and they were all such high quality! I highly recommend Marc and I will be suggesting him to my friends and family for any events they have and I will be using him for any future events as well!

Marc is INCREDIBLE to work with. As a wedding planner, I know the importance of having a professional and efficient photographer. We worked together on an extremely hot July wedding day at 95° where Marc covered both photography AND video for the day. My clients were SO impressed when their gallery was published! Cannot recommend Marked by Grace Productions enough! You can feel confident having him capture your most special moments of your big day!! 5 stars!!

Thanks so much Julie. It was a pleasure working you as well.

It was an absolute pleasure to have Marc as our photographer! His initial consultation was very informative and helpful. He was able to answer all our questions we had which was very reassuring.
He contacted us a couple of weeks before our wedding to check in about details and was very professional throughout. He was also very flexible in taking any pictures (especially those unplanned)! For example, he was willing and able to take pictures of us inside the getaway car. He was easy to get along with and captured some really special shots for us. This was my wife and I's first time hiring a professional photographer and it was such a great experience to work with Marc and his co-photographers who made my wife and I very comfortable with taking pictures.
Overall, I would recommend Marc for his photography business! His flexibility, kindness, and overall willingness to capture any and all shots truly made our wedding day a memorable one.
