Mark is phenomenal! He was the perfect photographer to capture our day. Not only was he super patient as we had last minute changes to our timeline and family photo selections, but he also went out of his way to help fluff my dress and move items around to set up nicer shots. Even without us requesting a second shooter he didn’t miss a beat! He was everywhere, managing to capture special moments that only lasted seconds from multiple angles without being intrusive. The photos were beautiful and more than we could have hoped for. Would 100% work with him again on any special events in the future.

My husband and I cannot stop talking about how amazing Marked by Grace was! Marc met with us before the wedding to go over the photo questionnaire and timeline to make sure he was prepared. Our package included a bridal portrait session but due to rain that got canceled. Marc had no problem adding this time to the day of the wedding to make sure we got our money’s worth. We made a Pinterest board for photo inspiration and Marc blew us away and got every single photo on that list! Marc and his assistant, Rachel, were everywhere getting pictures and videos. Rachel even helped bustle my dress. They made sure my husband’s drone photo and video dreams can to life. They also jumped at the request to take more photos we thought of on the spot! I could not recommend them enough!
Any questions?

Mark was such a wonderful photographer. Extremely friendly and professional throughout the entire process. Marks steps to ensure everything we wanted captured were extremely nice on the day of the wedding, making sure nothing was forgotten. During the day Mark was very accommodating to us and pretty much following us around for however long we wanted during our couples shots. I would recommend Mark to anyone i know looking for a photographer for any occasion.

My husband and I got the biggest package, 10 hours, for our wedding (and also engagement pictures!)- and it was worth EVERY penny. Marked by Grace Productions are incredibly kind, professional, and worked with us so well even though we had some special circumstances. Their communication was also excellent! I would argue that Marc undersells how incredible his pictures and videos truly are, and also how much thought they put into every shot. The drone shots are incredible, the quality is unmatched, & the quantity is so much more than we ever could have asked for. So blessed to have had such an amazing experience & that we have the pictures & videos forever! I never leave reviews ever, but I truly must recommend this company for everyone's special day. THANK YOU MARC!!!

Got it—here’s a more personal, heartfelt version that feels like it’s really you speaking:
⸻
I can’t say enough good things about Marc and Marked by Grace Productions. He was just one week away from welcoming a new baby—yet you’d never know it. He showed up to our wedding with the calmest, kindest energy. Totally professional, easygoing, and patient in a way that honestly felt saintly.
I found Marc based on a single review, took a leap, and I’m so glad I did. From the moment he arrived, I felt like we were in great hands. He was organized, thoughtful, and somehow captured everything without ever feeling intrusive.
The photos are stunning—our guests keep commenting on how beautiful and well-edited they are. But the video? The video absolutely wrecked me (in the best way). It captured moments I didn’t even realize mattered until I watched it back. I’ve cried happy tears every time I’ve seen it. It’s so much more than I expected, and it’s worth every single penny.
Marc gave us something we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives. I’ll always be grateful.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Incredible Wedding Photographer!
We couldn’t be more thrilled with our experience working with Marc ! From the very beginning, he was professional, kind, and truly passionate about capturing every special moment. On our wedding day, he was calm, organized, and blended in so effortlessly—you’d hardly know he was there, yet he somehow captured everything.
The photos are absolutely stunning. Every shot tells a story, and he managed to catch the emotion, the joy, and all the little in-between moments we’ll cherish forever. He also made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, which made the entire experience fun and natural.
We are beyond grateful for the memories he captured and couldn’t recommend him more highly. If you’re looking for someone who’s not only incredibly talented but also a joy to work with—look no further.
Thank you again, Marc , for giving us the gift of beautiful memories that will last a lifetime!

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.

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!

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!
Response from Marked by Grace Productions on 05/29/2024
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!!

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.
