Mark Shaw Photography

Mark has been absolutely amazing from start to finish. He was very easy to talk to during our video meeting and on the day. His photos are top quality and he managed to definitely capture the essence of our wedding day. Mark blended so well that you barely notice him taking photos making that more natural and relaxed take on our photos. Definitely deserve our 5 stars and would recommend to anyone getting married in Cornwall or beyond.

I don't even know where to start! Mark was so helpful, so patient, and so brilliant on our big day. He is so personable, he fitted in so well with our guests - people are still telling me how much they liked him, 6 months later! Mark had great ideas for our photos, it's always going to be a strange thing to be photographed for an entire day, but he made us feel so at ease.

The results are absolutely gorgeous, we are over the moon with our prints, the USB, and the online gallery. We love the reportage style of the photos, we can't believe some of the moments he captured, when we didn't even know he was there at times. Mark captured our day beautifully, I only wish he could photograph all of our special moments - he made us all look so great! Thank you so, so much for being so fab

Mark perfectly captured our wedding with photos so high quality that our jaws drop every time we look at them. Not only this, but Mark himself was an absolute delight to have at the wedding. My partner and I were blissfully unaware of him moving around as he snapped his magic, and he was genuinely a wonderful guest to have; it was as if he was an original amongst our friends and family. Since, people have marvelled at his work.

Several family and friends has purchased his work as birthday/christmas presents - not to us, but to themselves or their own partners. Thats how good he is; he not only captured the magic of the day for us but for everyone, even those who could not attend.

Mark photographed our autumn wedding in Cornwall at the end of September. We chose Mark because of his natural, unstaged style. We have just received our formal photos and they are absolutely perfect. He's captured all the amazing moments of the day that we'll cherish forever. On the day of the wedding itself I completely forgot Mark was even there (which I think wedding photographers take as a compliment) and at no point were we asked to pose for photos, it was all very natural and the photos tell the story. Throughout the process Mark has been very responsive and easy to deal with. I'd recommend Mark to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

We cannot recommend Mark highly enough. He was the perfect photographer for our special day. He managed to capture all the special moments of our day with natural, unstaged photos. Mark made us feel so at ease and blended into our day perfectly. We now have the most gorgeous photos, which I can't stop looking at. Thank you Mark!

Mark photographed our wedding back in July in beautiful Cornwall! Our photographs were beyond our expectations! He was able to capture all of our special moments throughout the day, I wanted the photos to be natural and not staged which is exactly what mark did! Everyone has commented on how beautiful our photos are! Would recommend mark 100000%

Mark captured our big day perfectly. There were so many moments I completely forgot about being caught up in the day and it was the best feeling being able to relive them through the photos. It was lovely to meet Mark before the wedding and we always felt so relaxed around him. If you're looking for a more candid natural feel to your wedding photos look no further!

We chose Mark to photograph our wedding day after searching for a month or so and we have been overjoyed with the service he provided and the photos he has given us. From the outset he offered advice for our day and his laid back style was exactly what we were after. The engagement photoshoot Mark offers allowed us all to get to know each other which made everything very relaxed on the big day.

On the day itself he was brilliant and unobtrusive whilst also capturing some genuinely intimate and moving moments. We've received several positive comments from our guests on how friendly and approachable Mark was despite being on his feet for nearly 11 hours! He was also very quick in returning the photos from the day, professionally edited and ready for print. All in all we loved having Mark photograph our wedding and would wholly recommend him to anyone.

Mark took photos on our wedding day and a year on with our little 11 week old baby. We were really pleased with how professional and reliable he was, putting us at ease before the big day. We felt he captured the intimacy and mood of the day in a relaxed manner and we absolutely loved the photos! Thank you!

Mark is an incredibly talented photographer who makes you feel so relaxed and comfortable when on a photo shoot that you don't really even realise the shoot has begun or in progress! We have had Mark photograph our engagement, wedding & now a family photo shoot and he always manages to capture the moments so perfectly naturally and beautifully. We are so happy with every single photo and we are so grateful to have such memories captures so perfectly. We definitely plan to get a family photo shoot done every year now as the photos are so perfect! Thanks Mark! Xx

We got married in October 2019. Having seen Mark's photos of a friend's wedding we'd attended the previous year, we were in no two minds about booking him for ours. His images capture everyone in a relaxed way, happy and at ease, enjoying the whole event. He manages to get little moments you might not have known about or don't remember in the whirlwind of the day.

Most of the time, you'd hardly even know he's there, which makes makes for great imagery! There were a few family line-up shots that were important to us which he was more than willing to do and the images of just the two of us are stunning. He did an amazing job, considering it was a wet and very grey day and we'd had to change a few things around last minute. Having your own online gallery to share with guests and family (especially!) alleviates any stress post wedding as everyone can take their time looking through and selecting images they want. Thanks again, Mark, absolute legend! G & M

Amazing and highly talented photographer. Shall capture every single magical moment in the greatest day of the newlyweds. Professional approach to the thing he loves making him definitely the best in Cornwall. Offered to extend his service without a fee to make amazing photos on the seaside. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Mark was an absolutely outstanding photographer for our wedding. He was so calm and just let us get on with our day. We didn’t want a whole lot of posed group shots, but the ones we did get Mark was really helpful and just let us get on with all the shots we wanted. I can not recommend Mark to photograph your wedding more, superb work and such a great guy. We can’t wait to see the photos. Thank you Mark

Mark is an amazingly talented photographer and captured every moment of our day, and was just a lovely guy. I couldn't recommend Mark more highly.

A top talent, and a top bloke. You won’t find better than Mark. He made the whole process a breeze, and the results were more than we could ever have hoped for. We absolutely adore our wedding photos, they tell the story of our day so beautifully and will be the perfect lasting memory of our special day. Thank you for everything Mark, you are one talented guy.

He was discreet and captured all of our most precious moments throughout the day and in to the evening.. We didn't even know he was there! Mark was professional and in the end he felt like more of a friend than just a 'wedding photographer'. We are absolutely chuffed with the 700 photos we have received of our special day! Would highly recommend Mark if you are looking for candid, relaxed and an extremely natural style of photographs!

Mark and his colleague Laiani took an incredible set of photos at our wedding in Cornwall in September. From intimate and candid moments to natural group shots, beautiful landscape details to worrying dancefloor antics, he really captured the story of the occasion distinctively and dramatically. He was an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout, really putting us at ease, and the results were even better than we expected from looking at his website.

The final galleries were delivered within a few weeks, while he also sent us some teasers while we were still on our honeymoon - giving us a lovely and timely reminder of our day. Our only regret was that he wasn't around for some of the other events we had planned with our guests over the weekend. Very highly recommended indeed.

Mark did everything in his power to understand and appreciate us as people before the wedding, offering us a beautiful pre-wedding shoot and keeping in contact whenever we had questions. When I first looked at his gallery online I knew he had to be our photographer. The humour and honesty to his pictures were like nothing we had ever seen before, upon scrolling through I actually cried!

And even with this in mind, our wedding photographs turned out to exceed my expectations. They are funny and sweet and joyous and perfect. The quality is incredible and you couldn’t meet a nicer man. The most special images are the ones captured of the band the night of the wedding. Mark even told us that he was leaving, said goodbye and everything! But he was there still, we had no idea. Mark blends into the background but his photographs do anything but! Thank you Mark, love Sophie and George Bradley

Mark was a fantastic photographer for our wedding day. We wanted natural photos of the day and not to feel like we were ‘on show’ all day. Mark made this so easy for us and everyone has said how wonderful our photographs are and how lovely it is to see such perfectly timed and natural shots. I would highly recommend him, and if we ever needed a photographer in the future for other events I will definitely ask for Mark!

Mark took amazing family photos for us when we were on holiday in Cornwall. This was for a very special family occasion and we could not be happier with the images he shot. He even processed the photographs really quickly for us so that my mum could see them to cheer her up (she was in hospital at the time following an accident). I wish we lived closer as I would love another family shoot from Mark in the future. Highly recommended.

Mark took the time to get to know us and exactly what we wanted and he captured our day perfectly; moments we may have missed and helped us treasure memories. We couldn't wait to see our photographs, which are truly beautiful!

Amazing photos, we both had tears in our eyes when we saw them, so natural. We had a perfect day and you put everyone at ease and made the whole experience fun and memorable. We can't thank you enough for your time and creativity.

Just had our photos back - absolutely blown away at how incredible they are. Stunning!! Every single detail has been captured beautifully. So so happy and can not wait to share them with family and friends. Tells the story from start to finish, even at the end where it starts to get a bit...ok very drunken (Matt playing air guitar with my leg!), wouldn't have it any other way :)
