Kate and Chris. Isle of Man

Mark traveled to the Isle of Man to photograph our wedding and we are so glad he did. We absolutely love our photographs and the way he caught so many off-guard moments of our guests and family. We would recommend you choose Mark as your photographer too. He is friendly, fun, a bit cheeky (funny) and hard working. We did have quite a laugh with him as he got those photos. Brilliant photographer, we would go so far as to say, the best, and his charges are very reasonable. We were quoted twice the price from less gifted photographers. Thanks Mark. Friend for life. Kate and Chris

Leila and Andrew. Didsbury

Mark lives in our village and saved us a small fortune for his brilliant photography, personality and services. We had been quoted over £1000 for our wedding photography with just 10 prints, so finding Mark on Google was a God-send. He spent all day right to the dances and gave us over 300 images on USB with a really beautiful wedding book. He charged just £550 for the day and the images, and just £195 for the wedding book. £745 for a brilliant photographer, over 300 images and a really beautiful book. We are delighted with the photography and the way Mark worked so hard, so quietly, all day. Book this man if you can. Leila and Andrew

Scott and Helen. Rochdale

Mark is a terrific photographer and we are delighted with our photography. He caught humour, emotions, drama and some drunkeness quite spectacularly. Everyone loved his attitude and he was organised and very helpful. Worked hard and politely all day. Terrific photographer. You really should book him.

Gemma and Philip. Didsbury

Mark worked hard all day and took the kind of natural images we really wanted of our wedding. The photos are brilliant and the wedding book is breathtaking. An exceptional photographer and a thorough diplomat. So glad we booked him. Thank you Mark. x

Harriet and Jamie. Manchester

Mark is a very like-able man and has a great sense of humour, which made it easy when deciding from three different photographers. Mark also saved us quite a lot of money and the photography is amazing. Delighted with his work and his services. A very happy couple indeed.

Lisa and Leo. Manchester

Fantastic photographer and fantastic photography. Both Leo and I are thrilled with, as Mark would say, the images, not photos. ;oP

A bit of an athlete as a photographer, Mark is full of energy and enthusiasm and everyone really liked him. He's funny too, and has a way of directing people naturally and with grace. Very natural and, as Mark would say, candid images. ;oP 

Absolutely awesome photographer and quite a personality. We love the photographs, especially the ones we didn't expect. Highly recommended and very affordable.

Laura and Craig. St.Helier. Jersey

Mark flew to Jersey to photograph our wedding day and we are delighted with the photography. A hard working, friendly and approachable photographer, Mark was a diplomat and entertainer all day and everyone liked him for his natural social skills and easy-going ways. Brilliant photographer, we suggest you book him. 

Jen and Andy. Rochdale

We certainly chose the right photographer for our day. We wanted an informal set of photographs and Mark really delivered. He travelled to Rochdale for us and worked really hard all day. We love the photographs. Family and friends all love them too. Thank you Mark. All the best. Love Jen and Andy x

Sarah and Jonathon. Manchester

Thank you Mark for a terrific set of wedding photographs. We expected 300 as promised but the other 30 came as a lovely surprise, especially the black and white ones. We love them all. Thank you for getting a consent form to us so quickly for getting them printed at Boots. We have them all over the house. Mark is a brilliant photographer and you really should book him. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Sarah and Jonathon

Natalie and Jon. Manchester

We are delighted with our photography and would happily recommend Mark as your wedding photographer. He is really on the ball all day. A thoroughly nice chap who defies his years with his energy and enthusiasm for photography, he works hard and quite quickly so he took up little of out time but got a lot of great images we did not know he was taking at the time. He is quite the grafter according to my other half. Both deeply moved by our photography. Thank you Mark. God bless. Natalie x

Jane and Alex. Manchester

Mark is the best in the business. We know this to be true as he captured our wedding so professionally and passionately he captured the respect of all our guests too . He is a really like-able man with great social skills and exceptional manners. He is so organised when the group shots are taken and very unobtrusive for the rest of the day. An excellent photographer. We love our images. They are natural and a touch quirky here and there. Just what we wanted. Perfect! Thank you Mark. We will think of you every time we see our images and as we have them in the lounge, that will be often. Big Love to you. Jane and Alex

Tracey and Andrew. Peterborough

My Dad found Mark on the internet. It turns out they were at school together some years ago so they had a lot of catching up to do. That, and his fabulous photography, was a good enough reason to book Mark without delay. And we are all so glad we did. Mark travelled from Manchester to Peterborough for us and left a lasting impression. His photography speaks for itself and his professionalism is very impressive. We had our images within a week and are thrilled with them. You won't get a better photographer or a nicer person. Thank you Mark. Best wishes always.

Victoria and Ben. Swinton

Amazing photography, amazing photographer. A really nice man with exceptional social skills. All our guests thought he was brilliant throughout a long day. So did we. Book mark in complete confidence, he works hard to get a really comprehensive set of photos and we love every one of them. 275 images is great value and we were quoted much more by other photographers who did not inspire the confidence Mark did upon first meeting him. We got the best and we have no doubt about it. Will this do Mark? Thanks a million. Lots of love. Victoria and Ben xxx

Michelle and Stephen. Oldham

We found Mark online after paying a "photographer" a deposit who then disappeared never to be seen or heard of again. So, we were cautious about paying another deposit but after meeting Mark, who travelled to our home in Oldham, and seeing his wedding book we knew we had the had the right person. Mark did a spectacular job. We are delighted with our images. Thank you Mark for saving the day. You are our hero. Michelle and Stephen

Jade and Greg. Swinton

Mark was recommended by a friend who had seen him work at another wedding. After seeing his website, we called him and he came to see us the following evening. We booked him there and then. He worked really hard all day and took every image we could have ever wanted. Really happy with the results. Really happy. A top photographer. Great value for money too. Jade and Greg x

Victoria and Lee. Cheshire

Thank you Mark for a terrific shoot. You did a great job for us and we are delighted. We love the black and white with colour images. Mark is a great photographer and he works really hard to get the job done thoroughly. We certainly recommend him for you wedding. He's a really nice guy and goes out of his way for any-one. Everyone was impressed. Book Mark in confidence. Victoria and Lee

Sarah and Michael. Middleton

We recommend Mark for your wedding photography as he did a really good job of ours and we are thrilled with the results. Brilliant diplomacy as promised and stayed until the end without flagging despite working hard all day. Magnificent effort and terrific photography. Book him. Sarah and Michael

Tanya and Dave. Cheshire

Mark, how can we ever thank you enough. Fabulous photography and your organisational skills are legend. Thanks a million for doing the job you did, the way you did. We couldn't recommend you enough. The wedding book is lovely. Awesome photographer! Great fun too. Love and hugs. Tanya and Dave

Marcella and David. Bristol

WOW! What a photographer. We did not meet Mark until the day as we live in Bristol. We found him on the internet and loved his work so much that we called him and asked if we could secure his services. Fortunately he was not booked for our day and we got him. Mark kept in touch by phone and email over the year and as the day approached he kept us informed and re-assured. On our day he proved his worth entirely and we are so happy with the results. He is so helpful and patient but really efficient and great fun too. Delighted we booked him. Delighted to have met him. Marcella and David xx

Ali and James. Didsbury

Mark is one of my best friends and no-one else was going to get a look in as my wedding photographer. I have seen him work before at friends weddings and have followed his career for a decade. Although I was not the easiest Bride to photograph he did a splendid job and stayed over in Clitheroe the night before to capture our wedding at the Inn at Whitewell. He did a great job for a Bride who would not sit still for more than seconds at a time. He built us a beautiful wedding book as a lovely wedding present and it is very special indeed. I know Mark well and you can be sure his dedication to the job is second to none. Ali and James.

Helen and Stephen. Burnley

Mark, the photography is exceptional. Both Stephen and I are thrilled with the results. Thank you so much. We are delighted to recommend anyone considering your services as we feel we got the best in the business! So glad we booked you and no-one else. Thank you for your good manners, pleasant attitude and fantastic photography. Helen

Michelle and Kin. Manchester

Mark spent over ten hours photographing our wedding and all our guests loved his manners, approach and friendliness. We are delighted with the results and would recommend Mark for your wedding day. Our family flew in from China and many cannot speak English but Mark even impressed them. He is socially very skilled and a wonderful photographer. My husband and I love the results and are very happy indeed. Thank you Mark. Michelle and Kin

Amanda and John. Preston

Thank you Mark for a lovely wedding shoot. You did a sterling job and we are very happy with the images. We will tell all and sundry about your skills. The book is amazing and the photos look great on canvas. Mums and Dads send their love. So glad we chose you. Amanda. xx

Caroline and John. Manchester

We wanted something different from the traditional wedding. We wanted a party with a marriage ceremony. We chose the city centre. The Town Hall and Stock restaurant close by were our venues. We also chose Mark as our photographer as he came highly recommended. Natural, no-fuss photography was our request and Mark delivered. He was helpful and very efficient at getting the main images captured quickly and very professionally. He then somehow managed to mingle with our many guests throughout the reception and beautifully capture the whole afternoon as it unfolded, right through to the evening dancing. We are delighted with the results. We recommend Mark whole-heartedly for your wedding day. His skills and his passion are evident in his work. You will not be disappointed. Caroline and John

Christine and Paul Slater. Cheshire

Mark is a wonderful and hard-working wedding photographer. He is polite at all times, very approachable, works quietly and naturally producing really beautiful images for us without having made us feel self-conscious in front of the camera. We are thrilled with the photographs and the way our guests all enjoyed his presence, mainly because he never really stopped working, but never once intruded. You will not find a more likeable or efficient photographer. Nor a more passionate one. He clearly loves his work. Thank you Mark. We think you are the best! Christine and Paul Slater

Sam and Paul Slater. Cheshire

Thank you Mark for an excellent set of images, which we can treasure forever. Mark is an excellent photographer which can be easily judged from his images. However it is worth noting that he provides a warm, friendly and stress free service. His patience with organising guests is close to that of a saint and he works very hard through the day and evening. Moving like a ninja, we were surprised at some of the photographs he had taken, as we were not aware he was anywhere near us at the time. The effort put into his work reflects Mark’s desire to provide a quality service for his own peace of mind. He’s got a great sense of humour too which helps with the guests! We would therefore recommend Mark Stapleton for your wedding for a discrete, sensitive, patient, and comprehensive service. Paul and Sam Slater

Stuart Rosen. Father of the Bride. London

It was Mark's web page that attracted us initially as his photos were of a high standard but at very reasonable cost. We were not disappointed on the day. Mark arrived at the venue early and explored every possible photo opportunity before the wedding. Mark is very friendly, easy to talk to and he took on board our special requirements without any problems. He is very enthusiastic about his work and has boundless energy and good humour. We were delighted with the results. Professional, traditional but with an artistic twist his photos were a delight and we would thoroughly recommend him as your Wedding Photographer. Stuart
