I recommend Mark and his team at Unveiled Wedding Photography with my highest praise and satisfaction. From the very first call to the final photos, Mark made the process easy, fun, and memorable. He was easy to communicate with, timely and responsive, planning and payment was clear, and, most importantly, he made my husband and I feel comfortable and at ease on our wedding day. The gorgeous photos reflect that comfort as he captured genuine, intimate moments as well as unique posed photos. He was well informed of our venue at the Japanese Friendship Garden in Balboa Park and so we ended up with many different poses and location shots. Even with all the beautiful backgrounds and locations, he still managed to make my husband and I the focus of the photos. The day moved seamlessly and the photography timeline planning meeting also helped us with structuring our schedule for the remainder of the events for the day, and anything that helps with wedding planning is a plus. Mark offered so many suggestions, had great options, and helped my husband and I reach conclusions that felt right for us. The value of our investment and the quality of the process and final product were better than we ever expected, and our expectations were already high from reviewing Mark’s prior work. My husband and I laughed and cried looking through the final photos reliving our special day. The photos turned out so well and my favorites file is overflowing. Mark captured so many great genuine glances, smiles, and moments; we were transported back to exactly how we felt that day with each picture. We absolutely love them! We will cherish these preserved memories always, and we cannot thank Mark and the Unveiled Wedding Photography enough for that. You will not regret booking them for your wedding.

Mark was an absolutely sensational choice for our wedding photographer.
He consistently went above and beyond in every aspect: communication, guidance, professionalism, organization, open-mindedness, precision, and quality. His creative eye and unmatched attention to detail truly set him apart.
Mark’s passion for his craft shines through in every moment—he doesn’t just capture beautiful images, he helps create them. From sharing valuable tips to make the day run smoothly, to going out of his way to ensure every shot is perfect, Mark is not only an exceptional photographer but also a wonderful human being and a genuine joy to work with.
If you haven’t already reserved your date with him, don’t wait—his calendar fills fast (and for good reason)!

Mark at Unveiled Wedding Photography has blown our expectations out of the water thus far! We recently received our engagement photos (pleasantly surprised, before we were expecting them!) and our jaws are still on the floor.
From the initial phone call while looking for our wedding photographer, I could immediately get a sense of Mark's professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail. We are extremely pleased with his timeline and our looking forward to our wedding day, with much more confidence of everything running smoothly.
He and his wife Stacy (who does the final edits as we understand) have a true eye for not only the technical details, but also for bringing out the best in our portraits when it came to our posing and candid moments, and the surrounding environments. We did our engagement shoot at Balboa, where we were able to get a plethora of locations with some amazing shots, and Mark even stayed late for us, as the clouds came in during sunset - he waited until the surrounding lighting and towers lit up to give us some spectacular shots after sundown.
We understand the importance of a good wedding photographer (as we will be looking at these photos for a lifetime), and after countless hours of initial research, Mark and Stacy have made us feel that this was by far the best and easiest decision we've made in our wedding planning process. We could not be more excited for our wedding day in November!

Mark and his team were wonderful! I am so happy with my photos and the package I chose. The pricing was amazing and such great value. You don’t have to compromise a fantastic budget friendly price for high quality photos. We also received so many photos! I was so impressed with the work. I work in the events world and I’ve been charged a lot more for less. I highly recommend Unveiled Wedding Photography. Mark walks you through everything, gives excellent insights, and ultimately delivers a collection of memories that I’m so happy to have. I also loved that Mark brought a third person to our wedding that was paying attention to all of the details. From jacket buttons to necklaces, and stray hairs, he had us picture perfect the whole time.

Mark was an excellent photographer for our engagement shoot. He took time to understand what we were looking for and added lots of insight into locations and time of day to get the best result. During the shoot, he made us feel really comfortable and it shows in the photos. We would highly recommend Mark for any photoshoots!

Mark was fantastic to work with, easy to work and communicate with, and excellent at his craft/art. His experience in weddings was so helpful to us, as we felt a little over our heads with doing most our wedding planning ourselves. The timeline he creates for a wedding and planning was invaluable in helping our day run smoothly. Our wedding venue was also not ideal for wedding photos, with lots of harsh light, but Mark and his assistants were able to plan around it and still capture a huge amount of great photos and moments. Look no further than Unveiled Photography for your wedding. Thanks again, Mark!

Mark was a genuine pleasure to work with from our engagement photos to the wedding day. My partner and I usually do not enjoy getting our pictures taken but his direction and candid style made it a very comfortable experience.
We looked at a lot of photographers and found Mark to be the best we could find, a true artist. He was on time, communicative, and far exceeded our expectations.

Mark worked with us many months before our wedding ensuring every event and part of our wedding timeline had ample time for him to capture photos which really paid off. We absolutely love our photos and will cherish them for the rest of our lives, thank you Mark & team!

Throughout our entire planning process, Mark was a helping hand and an excellent guide in terms of bringing our vision to life. We were looking for someone that would not only lend us their expertise in photography but also someone that would listen to our ideas and find ways to execute them, no matter how absurd.
During our engagement photos, Mark managed to capture a jam-packed beach at peak sunset and frame it as if we were the only two people there. At first, we were both apprehensive when we saw the number of people that would undoubtedly be staring at us during our photo session, but almost immediately Mark made us both feel comfortable and even excited that we’d be the stars of everyone’s beach day. We were splashing in the ocean, rolling around in the sand, and overall having a blast while Mark captured our candid selves with a smile on his face. (Our engagement photos are incredible).
Then came the big day…you know, the wedding? We spoke with Mark beforehand and emphasized the importance of us being present at the event and wanting to be able to share the experience with our family and friends vs having our wedding being a big photo session. Mark and his team of professionals could not have possibly done a better job at listening to us, and truly shaping their photography around what we were looking for. Our wedding photos are filled with smiles, dancing, cheering, and tears of joy.
They were kind, patient, attentive, and all around a joy to be around and have at the wedding. Mark is the real deal.

We really enjoyed working with Mark and his team! It was impossible to pick our favorite wedding photo because there were so many great options.
Stand out moment was that he didn’t catch an important shot the he liked so he had us do a redo - it meant a lot that he knew that a pic of the smashing the glass part of the ceremony was important to us.
Mark was super responsive, highly recommend for your special day.

Mark and his talented team at Unveiled helped capture our wedding day as well as our engagement in the most wonderful way. From the first phone call, we knew that our photography would be in good hands. Unveiled was great with coordinating the engagement session as well as the day-of, and worked supremely well with our Wedding Coordinator, Holly Kalkin, to make sure that the shots most important to us would be able to be captured.
There are a lot of different styles and fashions involved with wedding photography, as we rapidly found out, and Unveiled made sure to walk us through their timeless approach to both the shots themselves and the careful retouching to help correct the odd reflection or misplaced leaf.
Every step of the way we felt reassured and confident which was well placed as the timely-delivered results were incredible. Through a secure download link, full resolution photos of the entire event were rapidly available to our friends and family (after our careful perusing before we extended the link) who were blown away.
Mark and his team beautifully captured key moments of our wedding, decor shots (for when you really want to revisit if the turquoise napkin was the right choice years from now), and the heart-warming candid moments of our guests. We're looking forward to revisiting the happiest day of our lives for years to come thanks to this wonderful team.

Mark went above and beyond for us in multiple ways and is clearly a professional who has handled every situation a wedding could offer. Long story short, he delivered incredible photos we will cherish forever while also handling everything professionally and with care.
We had last minute changes, our venue got rain, and he still managed to give us the best photos my wife and I have of us. He has a great eye and directed us in a way that let us be ourselves and capture our connection with each other while also making sure all angles and lighting was on point.
He knows all the good spots, and when another wedding party tried to hop on our spot, he politely made sure they knew we had to finish our session and never made us feel rushed or uncomfortable in any way.
In general he's a good guy and was super communicative during the entire process, including our back and forth last minute calls trying to sort out logistics. Our already hectic experience had at least one solid factor, which was the photos which most agree are half the point of a wedding in the first place!
Anyway, we highly highly recommend Mark and if we got married a second time we'd hire him again!

Honestly, my husband and I could have not chosen a better photographer to work with for our big day. Mark not only worked around our crazy families but he was also always available to answer questions. Everyone of my guests complimented us on how impress they were with the photographer and his assistant. These guys literary were everywhere and got every shot possible. We love our photos and HIGHLY recommend Mark and his company.

Mark and his team shot my wedding last in October and oh my goodness, he was amazing from the first moment until the last. He arrived at the venue hours before the wedding was set to start just to scout out the best place for pictures. He texted me just to keep me in the loop, which made me feel so confident in what was to come. Mark is kind, professional, an expert at his craft, and puts off great energy. I felt comfortable and confident in his hands. Photographs might be the most important part of any wedding, and Mark has already given me the feeling that mine are going to be outstanding! If you want a creative, professional, focused photographer for your wedding, who you will let take the reigns to do his job and do it great, call Mark and hire Unveiled Wedding Photography.

Mark was hands down the best money spent at our entire wedding! My husband and I got married in Imperial Valley and found Mark through The Knot. After having a few phone calls with him, it was clear he had the vision and organization we were looking for. When we met him on the day of our wedding, we were not disappointed. In fact, Mark went above and beyond all of our expectations. He arrived several hours earlier than our coverage began to scout out locations to take the best photos. He had a clear timeline with alarms set on his phone to stay on-track. In many ways he was more organized and helpful than our own wedding coordinator. The end result was breathtaking photos that are unique and capture us as a couple perfectly. It is clear Mark is a seasoned veteran wedding photographer, and we would definitely recommend him!! Thank you Mark for capturing our special day!

I am a photographer, so I had really high standards for my wedding photographer. I had calls with so many different photographers before I settled on Mark - and he absolutely delivered.
The most important things for me for my wedding photographer was that the photos would be timeless and the quality would be high. I found Mark to be the most technically solid, detail-focused photographer I've met and he definitely delivered on my requests. He makes sure that every shot is in focus and exactly as he wants it to be, and has a very high standard of quality. He also shows up early to scout and plan out where photos will be, rather than taking time to decide once it's go-time.
He also helps so much with the timeline (down to the minute!) before sending invitations out. I also had some specific photos I requested, and he made sure to capture them perfectly. He captured my "minimony" last year during Covid and also my "big" wedding this year, and I am absolutely in love with all of the photos!!!

Mark was a professional and bent over backwards (literally) from start to finish. Our wedding would likely have had a ton of scheduling issues without him. He knew exactly how long each shot would take and kept the day running on schedule. As a type A bride, this thrilled me. Everything went exactly as it should. if anything, we ran ahead of schedule all day. And the pictures were exactly what we wanted.. Thank you Mark! Worth every penny.

Never did I realize the importance of timing on photography during a wedding until I met Mark. He has an extreme passion to give you the very best photography he possibly can and will lay everything out, but he is also compassionate about how you feel and will work with you to ensure the timeline works for everyone. He gave an extremely detailed timeline, where to be, when and I couldn't be happier with the results of our photography. He kept AMAZING communication throughout the entire process, provided us a ton of photos (nearly 800 photos, and of those 800 I would say there were two photos that were 9/10 and the remaining photos 10/10.)

Mark was extremely detailed and knowledgeable right from my initial discussion with him, and he gave me ideas and topics to think on that weren’t even on my radar. He was punctual and great at cuing us during our photos without being too forceful. He took incredible photos of our ceremony and reception aboard one of the Flagship Cruises harbor boats. He is quick to reply to any questions. Our photos turned out absolutely beautifully, and the cost is very reasonable, plus the turnaround time was quick despite a busy summer season for Mark and his wife. Please choose Unveiled Photography for your wedding photos! Mark is a true professional!

Selecting Unveiled Wedding Photography has been the second best decision ever (best decision was getting married). We had Paul and Val handle the photography, and Mark helped coordinate the timeline as well the business side of everything else. The final product has been beyond expectations, and we felt that this has been worth every penny. Paul and Val worked very hard to capture our precious moments, and we are thankful with the editing and post production of the pictures. Paul took initiative and was very calculated in respect to time and position of all photos. His vision and professionalism in being a photographer is a gift, and I am more than glad to be able to share the blessings we had with his work and Val's. Please look no further and look at the accolades of Unveiled Wedding Photography...each award is more than well deserved. TOP NOTCH!

We are so happy with our engagement photos!
Upon our initial contact up until the end of the shoot, Mark was very responsive and very flexible. We wanted pictures on the beach and he was very knowledgeable about timing of the sunset and the tides. We added another challenge to the shoot- our large and energetic one year old puppy, and Mark was very patient and skillfully included him in our shots. We received our photos shortly after and I couldn't stop looking at them! The sunset photos were incredible and I love all of the candid shots that he took. The emotion he captured in the photos was irreplaceable.
Mark, thank you so much! We are so happy to have these memories and so happy we were able to include our big furry baby :o)

We chose Unveiled for our 8/17/19 wedding and we are so glad we did! Mark was amazing to work with from the first time we inquired with him all the way through delivery of our wedding images. He was incredibly thorough and patient during our consultation as well as during our planning call. Mark’s expertise in laying out our wedding day schedule made our day so easy and seamless. He also recommended some great locations we ended up using for our first look. He was communicative before and after the wedding and a pleasure to work with the day of. We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos. Mark and his assistant captured the candid moments we were looking for as well as all of the beautiful portraits. Thank you, Mark & team!! -Shannon & Joel

Mark and his team were able to capture the most amazing moments we will cherish forever! Always professional and personable they made it possible to fully enjoy our day. Mark was knowledgeable about our venue and constructed a timeline to get the best photos at the best times and actually be able to mingle with our guests. It was truly a pleasure working with him and we HIGHLY recommend him and his team to anyone in search of a photographer.

I had one request for my wedding day, to invest in a photographer so we would have pictures to last us a lifetime. Unveiled Wedding Photography was beyond what we could have imagined and more. Mark got back to us right away, walked us through the process of what he offers AND made an extremely detailed timeline for our wedding day. I am so thankful our venue made the recommendation and I have full confidence we will cherish the moments captured forever! Mark and his lovely assistant made sure we got all pictures requested while ensuring that we also enjoyed our wedding to the fullest. To say I am grateful is an understatement. I would recommend Unveiled Wedding Photography to anyone getting married in the San Diego area!! Seriously, it will be worth it!!

It was so great working with Mark! He is detailed, attentive, and definitely knows what he's doing. He helped create the timeline for our wedding which was super helpful. We actually managed to stay on track the entire day. Mark will do what he needs to do to get the perfect shot. We also got our pictures a lot sooner than expected, which was a pleasant surprise! Thank you Mark for taking beautiful photographs of our wedding day.

Mark and his assistant at Unveiled Wedding Photography were absolutely AMAZING on our wedding day! We just got our pictures and can't stop looking at them. We had horrible winds on our day but he was able to use it to our benefit and captured some absolutely gorgeous shots!! And the best part was all the action photos and shots that he captured to let us relive the night! I'm so glad we found him to be part of our special day! Our photos are absolute perfection!!!
Thank you Mark!!!!

A while back I had some head shots done by Mark at Unveiled and the process was painless the the photos turned out great! Soon after doing these photos I actually got engaged.
After seeing the results from the portrait session and looking at Mark’s wedding work, we decided to book him for our engagement session and wedding photos. We received the engagement photos and the wedding pics couldn’t be happier!
We didn’t know where we should do the engagement session and Mark suggested a few spots, and we chose a beach location. We did the session around the La Jolla area and the variety of photos we got was great. He did poses of us looking at the camera of course, but also fun shots of us interacting and walking on the beach, and then some nice shots at sunset time as well.
For the wedding Mark was great to work with as well. He did a timeline consultation prior to the wedding and worked with our coordinator to make sure everything was going to go off as planned with no stress on the day. He also checked out the locations early and knew exactly where he wanted to shoot come time for the poses on the day of the wedding. Since we had a church ceremony, and time was limited for poses afterwards (and we wanted to mingle with our family and guests at cocktail hour), we did a 1st look and some of our poses prior at a park. Between those photos and the ones Mark and his assistant took around sunset time, we have a great selection of poses of the the two of us (plus all the usual family photos).
For the rest of the wedding day Mark and the other photographer were very unobtrusive and captured a ton of candid shots during the cocktail hour through the reception. We have a large selection of candids of our families and friends, as well as a huge variety of fun dancing photos!
Mark is super friendly and easy to work with. If you’re looking for a solid photographer who works hard on the day and is also fun and personable, Mark is definitely a perfect choice and I highly recommend him!

Not only did he do a fantastic job with the photography but helped us to plan the big day as well - making it go so smoothly. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for great photos and also great guidance with any big event!

Mark is a great photographer and so easy to work with! He is extremely detail orientated and professional, but still fun to work with to come up with great photos. The main thing I was nervous about with a photographer was that they didnt make the wedding day all about pictures, we wanted to enjoy our day and be with our guests as well. Mark was great with that! He kept us on track, but was great about staying in the background at times and letting us and our guests enjoy themselves. I eould highly recommend Mark.

Mark at Unveiled Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with! From our first conversation, I knew he would be our wedding photographer! He is extremely knowledgeable and transparent which was important to us as we planned this wedding from Arizona. We eloped in Pacific Beach in June and Mark was very flexible with our non-traditional timeline and requests. He was extremely patient with our 4 young children (ages 4-10) as well! Mark is a true professional! And a really nice guy too!! We received our wedding photos way sooner than expected and loved every single one of them! He captured all of the emotions and love we felt that day! We highly recommend Mark and his team for your wedding day photography needs!

We had Mark and Ryan to shoot our wedding and they were awesome! First of all, unveiled photography has the best indoor and outdoor phots. I browsed pages after pages of galleries on Yelp and Google. Unveiled had the best balance of light, shadow, and color for indoors, while the outdoors are always excellent.
Mark is also fantastic at capturing different angles and moments, including the wonderful laughing moments of my mom who refuses to smile in front of a camera. I knew that unveiled is the wedding photography I wanted to go with before I knew anything else about my wedding. Second of all, Mark does an absolutely detailed and perfect time analysis. I never thought of how important it is. But the time line actually eventually became the most essential thing in my while wedding. It's not just about the sunset and lighting, most importantly it controlled everyone's stress. We had plenty time for photo shoot, hang out with guests, eat and play. I was so happy to find unveiled and got to work with Mark and his team! I can't say enough of good things :)

We booked unveiled as our photographer for our outdoor wedding and it was a great choice. Mark was very professional and provided so much experience. I appreciated all the detail in the timeline planning. We had planned a beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony and reception in sunny San Diego and unfortunately ended up with very unexpected rain that poured the entire day. We received the edited photos in less than the 5 weeks as promised per contract. I was blown away by the way he was able to capture the special moments without making the rain looking like an issue at all. He truly is a talented photographer. Thank you for capturing happy memories of our special day!

This is the Photographer you are looking for!
I contacted several photographers, and after letting them know I had a budget and it was going to be a Star Wars wedding... most seemed to be ‘ok’ with the idea of a Star Wars wedding, but not willing to work with me on my budget. Mark took the time to talk to me, he explained what he could do -which was nice after hearing what all the others couldn’t do. He said he had just the guy to shoot my wedding, Paul. Mark and I had several conversations, he is extremely knowledgeable about the flow/timeline of a wedding. We agreed on a price, and he sent out the contract and asked for me to come up with a photo list-all the pics you want to make sure they get. Mine was REALLY long, he was extremely patient and professional and we worked on getting it down to something they could actual manage in the time they had. Cut to the day of the wedding, all that detail and planning flew out of my head, but Paul and his asst Ghia took over! Ghia was reassuring and calming, AND was able to make sure we were getting in all those pics I wanted. And then there’s Paul, wow! First of all, he is professional, kind, and has a really great eye! If he asks for your shoes, your bouquet or your rings... just hand them over!!! He took the most amazing pics and really captured the love and joy of the day!! Ghia, Paul and Mark were the photographers I was looking for!! I highly recommend them!!

say about the day and they said the food was fantastic as well! I’ll make sure to pass along your kind words to them. Your crowd was so much fun, and I’m so glad that I got the chance to come and shoot with Paul towards the end of the night as well! Thanks again!

Mark was so thorough, professional, and detail oriented it really made our wedding so smoothly! I truly enjoyed working with him. He was always very responsive and helpful through email and phone calls and totally put us at ease with any questions we had. On the day of he was on time and completely prepared. I really appreciated that he was able to give direction and get the pictures we wanted within the time frame we had. At the ceremony I didn't even notice him, but wherever he was he was able to get some AMAZING photos!! I highly recommend Mark and Unveiled Photography.

It was so hard to choose a photographer. When I met Mark I knew he was the one that I wanted for my big day. He took the time to meet with me in person to go over all my questions that I had. He was so knowledgeable and he is dedicated to making your pictures look absolutely amazing! My pictures turned out amazing! He is affordable as well!! He even does a timeline for your big day, so everything can run smoothly without having any stress!! I would highly recommend unveiled photography for your wedding day. You will regret it if you don't go with them!

All future brides...!!!...you cannot go wrong with Unvieled Photography, cross my heart. My husband and I were very very selective in who we hired. Our wedding was Christmas themed and was at sunset so therefore, our photos just HAD to be extra special and they were. Unveiled did not disappoint...the photos were absolutely stunning!! Mark and his team are very talented, professional, easy to work with, and all around good people. I would hire them all over again. You can't go wrong! XoXo
