We hired Mark for our wedding May this year and we feel that we couldn't have made a better choice. Before the wedding, Mark made time for a Zoom call with us to plan for large family photos etc and this helped put us at ease before our big day.
Mark made us feel really comfortable and relaxed as he took our photos. He really captures the mood of the day in the photos and we are absolutely delighted them. Each time we look at them, it's like reliving the day. If you're thinking about hiring Mark, do it before it's too late.
Thank you Mark.

It's hard to put into words how amazing our experience with Mark was! We eloped from Michigan and were only in Northern Ireland for a few days. Mark was easy to communicate with and very affordable. On our wedding day he was kind, funny and helped us relax before the ceremony.
Now to the pictures, they were ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. True to color, crystal clear, no obnoxious filters, and perfectly captured our day. We got so many compliments from all our family/friends. I truly could not have asked for more perfect pictures. We spent the afternoon going from spot to spot and he captured the beauty everywhere we went. I attached some pictures because words don't do his art justice!
I cannot thank Mark enough for his amazing work that day!
Matt & Amy
Highly recommended, Mark shot our wedding in 2024 and my wife and I couldn't be happier with the photos. He is a complete gentleman too and it was a lot of fun having him with us for the day, from getting ready in the morning all the way up to the evening reception.
There is a nice mix of photos with more serious pictures of just the two of us, big group photos and beautifully framed shots of the venue and the little details. Mark is great at making everything look natural and for coming up with creative ways to get groups to interact with each other and any props that are nearby.
If you want fantastic photos from someone who's very friendly and super easy to be around then Mark is the photographer for you!

Working with Mark on our engagement photos was an absolute pleasure! I reached out after finding his site via google and checked out his Facebook page to get an idea of what sort of photographs he would take. I was certainly impressed by what I had seen and what really stood out was the quality of his work.
After a couple of e-mails back and forth, we arranged a Whatsapp Call to discuss the ideas I had for my secret proposal. Mark had a couple of great suggestions for places to do the shoot as I am currently living abroad and had no real scope of the northern coast.
We agreed to work together and everything worked out really well. He was very punctual and made the shoot seem effortless and kept us both at ease as we had never done anything like this before. No awkward poses, no cringe moments... everything was spot on and that all goes down to how Mark managed the whole situation.
It was a real pleasure to work with him and we would be delighted to have him over to take our wedding pictures as well! Thanks again! Cheers :)

Mark Barton was the photographer for my wedding in January 2023. When we were selecting a photographer for our special day early last year, we were so impressed by Mark's enthusiasm, reliability, professionalism and talent; he really stood out. My husband and I couldn't be happier with the photos taken. Neither of us is especially fond of being in front of a camera, but Mark completely put us at ease, making us laugh and very much adding to our day. The result is an amazing set of photographs, which so beautifully capture all the joy of our day and which we will treasure for years to come. Our family and friends commented on how friendly and yet unobtrusive he was. If you are getting married, I would advise you look no further and book Mark Barton - you can trust him, and, when planning a wedding, this is an invaluable quality for a supplier to have.
Gary & Nadine
From start to finish, Mark was incredible. During our first meeting, he was easy to talk to and helped us decide on what we wanted for the wedding. When the day came, we couldn't have asked for a more dedicated photographer. He was polite, fun and helped us feel at ease during the entire ceremony and the shoot after. The pictures we were sent from the day were nothing short of spectacular, and out of the hundreds we received from Mark, there wasn't a bad shot in the bunch. We couldn't recommend Mark highly enough. Quite simply, a fantastic photographer and a nice guy.
Conor & Natasha
Mark photographed our wedding in September 2024 and exceeded our expectations in every way.
His flexibility and friendly approach made planning the special day incredibly easy. After a quick phonecall, he was able to understand exactly what we were looking for and tailor his package to meet our needs. This included organising a second photographer for the groom's house on the morning of the wedding.
On the day, Mark's laid back yet highly professional approach made both of us feel at ease. His expertise allowed him to to capture the perfect blend of formal photos, candid shots and special details.
The album was turned around much quicker than we expected and the end result was truly incredible. We honestly couldn't recommend Mark enough.
Conor & Jennie
Mark shot both our city hall legal ceremony (just the two of us and our parents) and a second wedding party a few weeks later (including friends and family too) and he was beyond brilliant.
He was super helpful before both events, making himself available for calls to chat through everything, and on the days themselves he was fantastic - he captured so many amazing pictures from formal set-ups to the candid shots of the day.
We were absolutely delighted with his work (which he also turned around very quickly after the wedding). We would recommend Mark in a heartbeat!
David & Clare Louise
I would highly recommend using Mark for any and every occasion you wish to have photographed. He photographed our wedding and the photographs he provided were simply stunning and exactly what we wanted.
Mark has such a relaxing and friendly presence he made us both feel so at ease when we were getting our photographs taken.
We had him the whole day and he arrived promptly in the morning to capture both of us getting ready and my arrival at the church.
Apart from our group photos he was the invisible man but managed to captured every moment of our wedding in such a natural way, nothing looked staged and nothing was missed.
He has such a great eye for photography he captured some lovely quirky photos which we always have now to remember and cherish from our wedding. I will definitely be calling on Mark again in the future for family photographs.
Hugh & Kathryn
Mark was our wedding photographer this past November and we were so delighted to have him as part of our big day. We saw his work from 2 of our friends weddings and knew he was the guy to catch all the special moments on our wedding day!
He was so lovely to chat to before the wedding, was so professional and easy to work with on the day and we had so much fun with him from when he arrived to the hotel that morning until after our first dance.
We cannot recommend Mark enough, and look forward to meeting him again soon! Thank you so much Mark!
Joe & Niamh
Mark photographed our wedding on 26/04/19 and he was wonderful!! I would highly recommend him to any newly engaged couples who want amazing photos! Mark was so easy going but also very professional and he had great attention to detail.
He gave us lots of helpful advice to help us feel at ease in front of the camera! He captured all of the emotions from the day and has provided us with photos that we will cherish for a lifetime. He is also very efficient with his editing (we received a fabulous slide show of highlights within three weeks of the wedding!! And the full photo repertoire a week later!).
We were so impressed and delighted with his work. Thank you so much Mark and all the best for the future.
Lydia & Steve
We only have amazing things to say about Mark! From start to finish he was the most professional and easy to work with person. A true gentleman!Nothing was too much to ask for and we trusted him completely with our photos.
On the day he was fantastic - we honestly didn't even know he was there sometimes! Photographs were natural and captured truly special moments. They speak for themselves and we treasure our album. We would recommend Mark without hesitation every time - he was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!
This review is long overdue - time seems to get away from me these days! Thank you so much again Mark.
Stephen & Aisling
I know we haven’t seen the photos yet but I thought I would get in touch to say how easy you were to work with. You made us feel at ease and fitted into mummy’s house and the chapel without any fuss. That to me is a special skill.
We loved having you as part of our day and the fact that you didn’t leave straight after our first dance is a testament to you professionally. It must have been such a long day for you.
The two of us (and all of our guests) are so excited to see the photos.
Máire & Nial
I honestly cannot speak highly enough about Mark's work- his natural and creative style was exactly what we were looking for and we absolutely love our wedding photos and beautiful album!
Mark really put us at ease on the day and was so easy to deal with in the lead up to our wedding and when arranging our album afterwards. I would highly recommend Mark if you're looking for a wedding photographer.
Thanks so much for capturing all our happy memories!
Gemma & Ryan
Mark was our wedding photographer on Easter Monday 2019. We cannot recommend him highly enough. We met with him before the wedding and he was very helpful with advice and tips for great photo locations but also for managing our time to ensure we got the most out of our day.
On the wedding day he made us feel very at ease with his relaxed approach. He was always willing to take a photo at our request, as getting photos with our guests was important to us.
We loved receiving the slideshow of photos prior to receiving all our wedding photos. Thanks Mark for capturing our day perfectly!
Brian &
Wendy
Having Mark as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. As a enthusiast photographer myself, this was a very important part of the wedding for me, which I was given full permission to decide! We liked Mark's natural style capturing those special moments throughout the day.
His unobtrusive and relaxed attitude made us feel very comfortable throughout. We met with Mark to discuss our special day and he was more than accommodating when we asked him to take photos for a separate day (part of our Chinese wedding celebrations).
The photos arrived quickly after the wedding and Mark gave us full control over the layout of the album. His initial arrangements gave us a good platform to work from and the quality of the album is first class. Mark was a true gent to work with and a highly recommended professional photographer.
Scott & Phillippa
Mark, thank you so much for our incredible photos, we love them all and will find it so hard to choose for our album! The whole day was so relaxed and good fun which is just what we wanted it to be.
The process of first meeting to being sent the final photos was seamless and perfect in every way. We will be recommending your services to everyone we know who gets engaged.
Edward & Victoria
Mark captured our wedding day so perfectly, I love looking through our photographs reminding me of all our wonderful guests and the details of the venue.
He was so good to work with, very organized and got all the images we wanted with high quality and professionalism.
Gareth & Jayne
For me and my wife Mark has been nothing but a boom. The man was a gent throughout. He was so easy to have around the place at all times, took great photo's and captured all the fun we had.
If you're looking high quality photo's and someone who you never feel intrudes throughout a manic day then Mark's your man.
Laura & Brendan
We just received our wedding pictures from Mark and are absolutely over the moon with them. They are fantastic and even better that we hoped they would be.
If you are considering Mark as your wedding photographer I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you again :)
Johnny & Liz
We would not hesitate to recommend Mark - he is a fantastic photographer and a lovely person and has the patience of a saint!
Photos were very important to us - and since we got ours back, I can't stop looking at them. Thanks Mark for everything!
Patrick & Niamh
We would highly recommend Mark, his photos were fantastic, he was very helpful in the lead up and very discreet and unobtrusive on the day. We are delighted with the photos he sent us through.
Adam & Nichola
Couldn't recommend Mark enough. Fantastically talented photographer who puts everyone at ease, even on what I expected to be the most nerve wracking of days.
We could not have been happier with the photos, and after much squabbling over which would make the cut... the quality of album was fantastic. Thanks again :)
Sean & Kaye
Out of all our wedding suppliers, Mark is without doubt the best experience we had. His professionalism is second to none, from emails, to phone calls, and especially on the wedding day.
Though I didn't think about it before our wedding, it's likely you will spend more time with your photographer and videographer on your wedding day than most of your family! With that in mind, you want somebody who you can get along with, and enjoy their company. Mark was great to have around on the wedding day, and both Kaye and myself were delighted to share the day with him.
Before our wedding, a photographer friend of mine advised me to get a photographer with close to or more than 10 years experience of shooting weddings. I could see the reason for this both on the wedding day and when we got the photos. Mark was able to see shots and photos no ordinary photographer could pick out. From shots in the house before the wedding, to the church. Even in the speeches, Mark was able to pick the people out who we were speaking about in the speech and take a picture of the moment - fantastic.
Tip: We did an engagement shoot a few months before the wedding and it was a great idea. We got more comfortable on front of the camera, and were better able to relax with the camera on our wedding day. Plus, we have great photos from the engagement shoot.
As I said already, of all our wedding suppliers, Mark Barton was by far our best decision.
Jon & Claire
Mark was our photographer at our recent wedding, and we can't rate him highly enough. In the run-up to the wedding he was fantastic at giving us advice, particularly when it came to timings.
He was super flexible and happy to work around what we needed. On the day he was an oasis of calm amongst all the madness. Our friends and family all commented on how lovely he was, and how much he put them at ease. He was able to travel between the venue, the house where Jon was getting ready, the pub Jon and his groomsmen went to for a quick pint before the ceremony, and back to me at the venue again, without any issues.
Finally, the photographs themselves - we were both STUNNED. I really hate seeing myself in photos, but Mark has managed to make me feel beautiful (no mean feat). He captured some amazing moments and fantastic shots.
Looking back through the photos is like reliving the day, I can almost step into them and feel like I'm there. From the traditional family shots to the natural, candid photos, they're all incredible. We can't recommend Mark enough, a genuine lovely chap and a wonderfully talented photographer.
Emma & Niels
We received our wedding album and parents' albums just before Christmas from our wedding last year and we are so delighted with how they turned out.
Mark was an absolute pleasure to work with; he made us so relaxed on the day and had us laughing non-stop which led to such natural beautiful photos which we will treasure forever! Thanks Mark for everything!
George & Fiona
Mark- we cannot thank you enough for our absolutely beautiful wedding album. We are completely delighted with it!! Your attention to detail was phenomenal, the photographs are exactly what we had hoped for and so much more!!
On the day you were so much fun to work with, you made us feel so relaxed and managed to capture the day perfectly. Thank you!
Aled & Eimear
Mark did a brilliant job on our wedding. He was so easy to contact in the run up to the wedding,on the day was relaxed and encouraging.
He was great to work with after the wedding too when selecting photos!He is a lovely guy and has a great eye for photos!Cant wait to get our album now!Thanks again!
David & Alison
Mark photographed my sister's wedding back in October 2015 and was fantastic! He was friendly and discreet, never in our faces or ordering people about, yet captured stunning images.
So when we got engaged 3 weeks later he was the obvious choice; we couldn't go past the service and quality Mark provides and he did not disappoint! On the wedding day, Mark was as expected friendly and discreet but he also kept us right with timings and moving the day on, took on suggestions for photos and his relaxed style of photography made working together easy.
The final photos are fantastic and really speak for themselves. Huge thanks again Mark for being a part of and capturing our wedding day.
David & Lynsey
Mark - David and I would just like to say a massive thank you for photographing our wedding day. You captured every minute of our day and we really did have the "best day ever"! The photos are fab!!!
Can't wait to see the album now! We would highly recommend you to anyone, nothing was ever a bother to you!! Thank you again!!
Paul & Nuala
Mark was our wedding photographer and we just love our wedding photos. Mark has everyone at ease the whole day, we had great fun throughout the day and he captured every minute of our day perfectly.
Our wedding photos do tell the whole story of the day!! All our families and guests all commented on what a lovely guy he was!! Would definitely recommend Mark for your wedding photographer!
Jonathan & Emma
Mark was fantastic to work with. We are delighted with our pictures - he really captured the atmosphere of the wedding.
Mark made us feel completely relaxed and was totally unobtrusive while capturing lots of little details and moments that we will treasure. He even made time to get some pictures of me with my grandmother who was too ill to attend our wedding.
I couldn't recommend Mark highly enough. Our photographs were worth every penny.
Adam & Jessica
We booked Mark to photograph our wedding last April after him coming highly recommended by a number of our friends and we are so glad we did.
His service was exceptional from the moment we met him to discuss our plans right through to receiving our album. During our wedding he was fabulous, so unobtrusive and patient with us and all our guests especially the little ones.
So many guests commented how gentlemanly he was during the whole day. Patience of a saint. We were totally blown away by the images Mark took. He captured every little detail. Best day of our lives beautifully captured forever!
Can't thank you enough Mark!!!
Neil & Megan
Where do we even start with thanking Mark.
Mark captured our wedding in August this year, he also did an engagement shoot for us. Prior to booking our wedding photographer we did lots and LOTS of research. Mark was on a shortlist with one or two others, what swung it for us was our skype conversation. We immediately knew that he would be lovely to have around on our wedding day- do not underestimate how important it is that you get on well with the people who will be there on your wedding day.
Mark had a fantastic ability to understand exactly what we wanted, he was really open to what we said and just seemed to remember everything we had talked about before our big day- I think he really listened to us.
He was so easy to have around, in our houses he seemed to know what moments to capture and was so respectful of the fact that it was a special family time.
What I just LOVED was that we got time at our drinks reception!!! I have been at so many weddings where we didn’t see the bride and groom until dinner- we were mingling and chatting with our family and friends.
The last but probably most important part is the photographs!!! I couldn’t believe that mark had them with us by the time we arrived home from honeymoon!!! Both our engagement and wedding photos are so so beautiful, he’s really captured the mood of the day and even has all the little bits that we might forget!
If you are in doubt of who to pick for your wedding photographer I fully recommend Mark, Particularly if you like a relaxed style but I honestly feel that mark would 100% get your vision and capture it beautifully , whatever it is.
We will forever be grateful to mark for beautifully capturing our wedding day!!
Chris & Emma
Mark did the photography for our wedding in October 2020 and the photos are really AMAZING!! ❤️
Not only is Mark an excellent photographer, but he really made the wedding party feel at ease getting their photo taken and brought a bit of humour to the day!
Mark is a fantastic and truly talented photographer!!! I would 100% recommend him! 👰💒🤵💕
This is only a small sample of the lovely feedback I get from couples.
Thank you everyone for your kind words, It means a lot to me.
