Mark was excellent and captured our family and created a real keepsake. Mark suggested lots of combinations and styles of photographs that we hadn't thought of on top of our requirements. Mark listened and delivered what we wanted at short notice. Mark was so natural and kept the day flowing nicely it often feels false, long and boring with other photographers.
Hi, I am Mark and I have been a full time photographer since 1994. I started out working for an established studio in Cambridge where I trained in portrait, wedding and commercial photography. I started off as "tea boy" and gradually earned my stripes in the industry over about 10 years. After gaining qualifications in 1998 I have since won numerous accolades for my work which I am hugely proud of. We are based in Burwell, near Cambridge where I operate from a fantastic spacious studio, and now concentrate on family, boudoir and corporate work.

Excellent service and photographs as always. Mark did our wedding photographs nearly 20 years ago and has subsequently done several family sessions for us over the years. He is so patient, excellent with children and knows how to put the camera shy as ease producing great results. Would thoroughly recommend.

Mark took time on the phone before our session to give us advice and make sure he understood the family groups and what we wanted from our session. He kept it fun with the kids and was very patient, working with a 2 year old toddler and a 7 year old with additional needs didn't phase him at all! the whole session was relaxed and enjoyable. We are really pleased with the finished product.

We had a family photoshoot as a present from the grandparents for our 7 month old son. We had a fantastic morning, Mark was great with our son in getting his attention and keeping him engaged, and made sure it wasn't too awkward for the adults (for those of us less inclined to pose). All of the photos looked great, and made it hard to choose which ones to get printed!

My husband bought a Family Photo session for my birthday. Mark (the photographer) was very professional and easily predicted the behaviour of 4 years old. He made us laugh many times. I love all the pics, and later I could not decide which ones to choose! Overall, I am delighted with the experience! Definitely, recommend to everybody!

We were bought a family portrait session for a present and had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon at the Ashworth photography studio. Mark was great and had fantastic patience with our 5 month old that enabled some beautiful candid shots to be captured. We loved all of our photo's! Thank you very much for a great experience.

Mark recently photographed our family in a studio session and captured wonderful images of everyone, including our 4 granddaughters aged 3 and a half down to 7 months. He put everyone at ease, was lovely with the children and captured images that are so natural and typical of all of the girls and their parents. The hardest part of the session was choosing the best photos as they were all so good.

A friend bought us a shoot with Mark as a gift after the birth of our first child. They fitted us in at short notice before the end of my paternity leave. Mark was very welcoming and amazing with our 3 week old son - he didn't even mind when our son had a little accident on him! The photos were amazing and we are looking forward to receiving them in a few weeks time. Thank you Mark!

It was the first time doing it and we don't regret it! Mark took some wonderful pictures of us and managed to keep our 2 year old son in a good mood for quite a good time!! As a result we have beautiful pictures of our boy and the whole family that we can't wait to share with everyone!! Mark was also very helpful in helping us choose which pictures we wanted to keep. I would higly recommend going there!!

I went to Mark for a Boudoir photo shoot and it was a totally amazing experience. I had my hair and makeup done by the lovely Elly who then came in to assist Mark in setting up the photos. They made me feel so comfortable and relaxed and very special! When I saw the pictures I was blown away, I never thought I could look so good and I have my book as a keepsake of a day I will never forget! Can't thank Mark enough for giving me the confidence boost I went in for. When I want a family photo shoot I will definitely be going back to see Mark again!

We hired Ashworth Photography for our wedding and we are delighted with the photos! Mark was very friendly and he was also a calming presence on the day. He was very professional, he worked really well within the framework of the day, and he engaged well with our guests. We were delighted with his work overall.

We brought our dog in for a photoshoot today. Mark was very friendly and easy going, yet still professional. He worked very well with our dog and was patient with us all. Mark clearly knows how to get the best out of his subjects as the finished results made our dog appear regal, obedient and serene, quite the opposite to real life! Too many great pictures to choose from. The home studio was spacious and comfortable, I think it adds to the more relaxed portrait photo session than a shop premises. Would highly recommend.

I cannot thank Mark enough for being so patient and kind when 15 of us turned up to have a family portrait taken as a birthday present for our mum. The studio was easy to find, big enough to accommodate us all and Mark straight away made us all feel comfortable and at ease. We discussed what we wanted, Mark listened and using his expertise guided us in to the right positions for some amazing photos. Even managing to get my daughter to smile! We had such a great time that my son announced he wanted to be a model! I cannot recommend Mark enough.

A big thank you to Mark and Hayley also the lovely young lady that did my make-up, I had never done a photo session before and never had make up done so it was a marvellous experience. I was made to feel special at all times and put completely at ease having my photos done. Mark made me feel at ease and even made me smile, I have to say that for a short time I didn't feel like I was a 65 year old great grand-mother. I can't wait to get the photos to show my family

Went with my family of 4 on Saturday. Myself, my husband, an 8 year old and almost 2 year old. As soon as we walked in we were made to feel welcome. Mark is fantastic. He managed to coax my photo shy 8 yr old into feeling confident during the session and was just so fantastic and patient with our little girl. Would thoroughly recommend him and the photos we have chosen were just beautiful
