Report
Marc joined us for my 2 year olds birthday party and he captured the day perfectly with beautiful candid photos of us and our guests. As someone who is a little camera shy, I was pleasantly surprised that the majority of the time I didn't even notice the photos being taken, which means we got some lovely natural shots. Any posed photos I felt very comfortable as Marc made great suggestions and instructed us well to get the best shot. Marc has a great eye, and it shows in the wonderful photos we have received that we will cherish forever.

Really happy with my family portrait and Marc made us all feel very relaxed and natural. We have a lovely portrait hanging on the wall which makes us smile. We would recommend him to anyone who wants a photoshoot.

I have been on several photography workshops and photography training courses run by Marc. Each one has been excellent. A great mixture of practical experience & theory, with plenty one to one time. Marc certainly knows his stuff, and gets it over in a friendly and supportive way. I would definitely recommend him.
