Mark did an incredible job capturing our wedding. We were so happy with everything he did, and every single photo came back perfect. We had the opportunity to do an engagement session with him, and it was an excellent chance to get to know one another and how we worked together. It was great to see how the photos came back and to get a feel for his style, which was exactly what we were hoping for! Leading up to the wedding he was incredibly responsive and got back to us right away with any questions (much more responsive than I was to emails at that point!). He worked with us to make sure we had every detail in place and that we were all on the same page. We had a meeting a couple days before the wedding, which was really helpful in knowing that we were ready! Day of, Mark was a huge help in my getting ready process since he knew how everything should go and where he should be at pretty much every moment. He was able to capture both myself and my husband as we were getting ready in different areas, and got great photos of us with our wedding parties. He also encouraged me to start putting my dress on earlier than what I was told, which turned out to be a great call since it took forever! There are some things you don't know, having never had a wedding before, that Mark knows all about since he's done this a million times! That was really helpful and encouraging to have a presence who knew what was going on. He captured everything about the getting ready that I was hoping for, including a last-minute ring photo request and lots of gorgeous dress photos. During the ceremony I honestly did not even notice he was there, yet when we got the photos back he had captured everything! He really knows which shots you'll want to see later, such as shots of the audience, shots of the whole wedding party standing with the officiant, and plenty of just the two of us. He also really captured the feel of the venue, during the ceremony and throughout the day! The reception photos were also perfect. He captured all the little details and decorations I had put in that I didn't even really notice myself! The day was such a blur for me so it was incredibly nice to be able to look back later and see the centerpieces, the favors, etc. All the big moments such as toasts, first dance, cake cutting, and parent dances he captured perfectly. As well as the rest of the time dancing! In addition, we had two sessions of couple photos that came out absolutely stunning. One was a shot that I'd known I wanted since the day we booked the venue, under a tree that was strung with a ton of lights. Day of, a section of the lights went out, and Mark even photoshopped that picture so that you can't tell the lights are out, and gave us that copy in addition to the original. I was so grateful for that!! After the wedding, the photos came back to us in an online gallery, and we had the option to download any or all of them, and to share with family and friends! The printed copies came back looking amazing. We had an online meeting to design our photo book, although Mark did all the work on that! We loved all the design choices he made. We just got our photo book back and it looks incredible! It's such a perfect way to display our favorite photos and to be able to relive the story of our wedding day through pictures. Overall I was incredibly impressed with every aspect of Mark's work and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! read more

We hired Mark to do our outdoor engagement photos and he was absolutely fabulous throughout the entire process. He was super personable and kept in contact even after our session to invite us to fun local wedding events, help with photo ordering, and even to congratulate me when Clemson won the National Championship because he remembered that's where I went to college! He answered all the questions I bombarded him with over email and reassured me that it would turn out great. My fiance and I are probably the most awkward kids you've ever met, so we expected our engagement session to be nothing short of that, but Mark didn't take long to make us feel more comfortable. He was really able to capture our personalities as we laughed and goofed off. During our session the weather took a dramatic turn (as it often does in CO), and we experienced fog, rain, and eventually snow, but Mark powered through the elements with us. Even though we had fun through the whole session getting our shoes a little muddy and cuddling closer for warmth, I was upset once I got home thinking the weather might have ruined our photos. So I emailed Mark and he once again reassured me that the pictures looked great but he offered a quick 10 minutes on a sunnier day if it would make me feel better. When we got the photos, they were so much better than we could have expected, especially on the day with terrible weather! He turned what I thought was a nasty day into beautiful portraits. We absolutely love our photos and love looking back at them and remembering that day. I couldn't recommend Mark more and truly believe that you'll be missing out if you don't decide to work with him! read more

Where to even begin! My husband and I got married last October in Estes Park. Months prior to our wedding, we met Mark at a local coffee shop to discuss his style as a photographer and view some of his portfolios. He was upfront about his preferred photography style. He stated that he was present when needed to be, but behind the scenes most of time. He appreciated the beauty and honesty of candid photography, and felt that it truly captured the sentiments of the day. My husband and I felt the same, so we elected to have Mark as our photographer. He was helpful, communicative, organized, and thorough in the months leading to our wedding. He graciously answered the array of questions we had and instilled a level of confidence in us that he had it covered. The day of our wedding was magical; Mark captured the essence of our joy, excitement, and anxiousness perfectly. He was able to get through family photos efficiently yet never wavered from making us feel that every moment was special. His photos throughout the evening were candid and touching. Mark's photography abilities and vision are profound, and his work speaks for itself. We loved that our wedding photo portfolio had an equal amount, if not more, of candid and 'un-orchestrated' photos as formal photos. That said, our formal photos were absolutely stunning. Mark was diligent and communicative in the weeks following and returned our photos quickly. My husband and I are so grateful for Mark's sincerity, kind and thoughtful nature, and of course our gorgeous photos. We plan to recommend him to all our family and friends! read more

Working with Mark was a fantastic experience. In a word it was easy. From the moment we decided to work with Mark he put us at ease and made us feel relaxed. He helped us not only make choices about photography, but guided us through some other major decisions for our wedding. He listened to us and really took the time to get to know who we are as a couple and what we were looking for in a wedding photographer. The day of our wedding he was all smiles and amazing energy. He is discreet in capturing those candid, genuine moments and was also able to take charge in the more formal poised moments. He also was very spontaneous and encouraged that in us and our wedding party. He was creative and helpful in our shots and never once did we worry our shots were going to be 'cookie cutter' or corny. He caught some amazing moments during our wedding day that we will cherish forever. We did a day after shoot with him as well (well it was a few days after) and he spent hours with us going all over Kauai getting a number of unique and gorgeous shots. His patience and enthusiasm was outstanding and exactly what we needed. we loved our photos and he was so quick to get them to us. Now the only problem is choosing which ones to frame. Would we recommend him to our friends and family?...in a heartbeat. read more

My wife Nancy and I hired Mark Creery to photograph our wedding on July 4th 2015 in Victoria, BC Canada. We were really excited to have Mark as our photographer after browsing his website and loving the work he had done for other couples. We had compared cost versus other photographers and Mark made the most sense for what we were getting in his package and also the fact that he let us tinker a bit to customize. Mark was extremely easy to contact and set up times to discuss the event details and photos we desired. He was also extremely easy going and made us feel that anything we had in mind was feasible. It was also great how he helped us plan how to streamline family photos ahead of time to make sure we didn't miss out on anyone special. Mark was there to photograph our wedding rehearsal/BBQ and also our ceremony and reception. He was there throughout a very long day and I commend him for his patience and tireless effort. He made sure we had gorgeous wedding photos that we were excited to share with family and friends. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an easy going photographer who is there to photograph your day as it happens. He was always prepared to capture those special unscripted moments which we cherish so much. Thanks again Mark! read more

Mark Creery Photography is fantastic, to say the least. My (now) wife and I could not be more pleased with his work. We purchased a package deal with Mark Creery Photography that included engagement photos as well as wedding photos, and after all was said and done we walked away very satisfied with the results. Before purchasing the package, Mark even took the time to meet with my wife and I to see if we would like working with him. We were very impressed, and from then on our expectations were exceeded every step of the way. My wife is very passionate about photography, so to find a photographer that really impressed her was huge. Thanks to Mark, there was no added stress around the wedding of having to worry if the photos would turn out well, or wondering how he would navigate the big event and working with our family. We had full confidence in him, especially after having worked with him for our engagement photos and seeing the results. Mark really went above and beyond for us. He is very professional, easy to work with, and has a great eye for capturing the moment; all of which are very important qualities when you're considering capturing important events in your life such as getting engaged and married. read more

We hired Mark to take our engagement as well as our wedding photos and we are SO happy that we went with him! Mark takes amazing photographs and he has an eye for natural light and getting a multitude of diverse shots. He was very accommodating and willing to give us exactly what we wanted with our pictures. He even took the time to meet with my fiance and I before we hired him to make sure he would be a good fit for what we wanted in a photographer. Mark is super easy going and professional. He always showed up on time and went above and beyond. I've had multiple people tell me that our engagement pictures were the best they'd ever seen and I would agree! He listened to what we wanted and was willing to try out many different poses and shots. He also had his own great ideas as well for what would look great. On our wedding day we didn't have to worry about not getting amazing photographs. Mark is diligent and committed to capturing the beauty of your special day. From family pictures, to intimate moments with my husband, to a dance floor full of guests, he captured the best moments of our wedding day. We completely recommend Mark to be your wedding photographer. You won't be disappointed! read more

Mark photographed our wedding on a great summer day at the end of July. Although it ended up raining at the beginning of the reception for a brief time, Mark was still able to capture the fun of the event despite the rain. If you are looking for a photographer like I was which was basically 'in the background' and essentially 'non-existent,' Mark is your guy. I loved how he just hung in the back the entire time, yet absolutely captured every moment. In looking back through the photos, it's really like re-living the day all over again. His photos take you back to that special day in a way in which I have not seen before. He is respectful of you and your family's space, and allows you to still have those private times on that very important day. I really appreciated his calm demeanor and personality. That I thought was especially important when so many people around you that day can be high strung. Ultimately though, his pictures speak for themselves. I wanted someone who captured the moment, didn't intrude, had a good demeanor and likeable/trustworthy personality. Mark had all those and more. I would definitely recommend him over and over again. Thanks Mark! read more

Mark's webpage and reviews speak for themselves, but we would echo all of the great things that everyone has already said. My husband had Mark secretly photograph his proposal, I had no idea he was even there. We were blown away by how beautiful the photos turned out. He also took our engagement photos. We had an idea of the type of background that we wanted, and Mark suggested the perfect place. Friends and family commented that the scenery was so beautiful that it looked unreal. Finally, he took pictures for our wedding. By then we knew to expect something pretty great. We received the photos today, and they again exceeded our expectations. Not only does Mark have an excellent photographic eye, but he is a very nice person who is easy-going and easy to communicate with. Mark was very receptive and listened to what we wanted, but also spoke up with his ideas and suggestions - which gave us amazing photos. Having used him for three different occasions in the past six months, we would, hands-down, recommend him. His pictures were consistently awesome, and he is a nice person who is very easy to work with. read more

Mark goes above and beyond being your "photographer", he's a partner to help your moment be its best. He not only has a creative eye but an incredibly positive attitude. We selected Mark to be our wedding photographer. During the process of selecting a photographer, he was transparent and honest about how his style. It truly was a perfect match. Mark is hard working and responds to any "off the cuff" questions that comes his way. He's dedicated to his craft and his work shows it. We were so calm during our wedding because we knew Mark was capturing every moment and making us comfortable, which is critical during an important life event! Mark works very well with videographers. In fact, our two videographers and Mark took a completely awesome photo in the photo booth at the end of the night - great memory!! While we live out of state, we plan to use Mark for upcoming photo opportunities (baby, family and hopefully, our own sister's engagement/wedding photos). We high recommend Mark to anyone looking for somebody who will work his tail off to ensure your moment truly magical! read more

We chose Mark as our photographer between several different options because he was thoughtful, down to earth, and had an incredibly calm, laid-back personality, which was exactly what we felt we'd need on the wedding day. We were not disappointed! We had an engagement photo session to get to know him, and he was very fun and easy to work with. And the day of the wedding he was amazing: he seemed to be everywhere at once, he braved a sudden rainstorm during the ceremony to capture unbelievable photos, helped my husband and me keep our smiles when we were flagging. He herded the wedding party and families professionally and efficiently, and was not afraid to ask overeager family members to step out of photos they weren't supposed to be in, allowing my husband and me to avoid the awkward situation. I could go on and on with everything he did for us! Since our photos are how we'll remember our wedding for the rest of our lives, we wanted to make sure we had the perfect photographer, and we were not disappointed in Mark! read more

Mark was our photography for our October wedding in Fort Collins. Not only is Mark skilled in his craft, he is very detail-oriented and particular when it came to meeting our photography needs. He was willing to speak with us regularly leading up to the wedding, and he showed professionalism in his questions. More, Mark took the time to get to know us. He is very friendly, and very flexible. Of course, his professionalism was most apparent the day of our wedding. He seemed to know exactly where to pose us, how to pose us, and how to catch the lighting on a Fall evening at dusk. We felt at ease with a vendor who could simply tell us what to do; as so many other details come the wedding day often get lost in the hustle of it all. Our photos turned out beautifully. My husband and I would recommend Mark for anyone, and for any occasion. I am sure we will use his services again as we expand our family, perhaps, or for other big events. Thank you, Mark! We think you are so great! Julia & David read more

After speaking with Mark and viewing his panorama pictures from past weddings on instagram and his website, I knew he would be the perfect photographer for my August 2019 Vail wedding. He was through, professional, kind and courteous. He made the whole experience fun and was able to capture some beautiful photos, including sunset photos. Mark took our ideas about our style and location suggestions and captured us as we are. Nothing felt or looked posed, staged, or unnatural. I have already received so many compliments from friends, family, and colleagues and cannot wait for the rest of our photos. My husband and I will cherish the time we had with Mark taking photos just the two of us after the ceremony and during the reception at sunset. I highly recommend Mark Creery for wedding photography for an amazing experience that will capture your wedding day perfectly. read more

Mark surpassed all our expectations with his remarkable work on both our engagement and wedding photos! From the very beginning, his communication and responsiveness were truly outstanding, making the entire wedding planning process smooth and stress-free. On our special day, Mark's talent and expertise truly shone through as he effortlessly captured every single precious moment. We were amazed to hear from several guests who said, "He seemed to be everywhere the entire night!" Despite the challenging weather conditions, with gusts reaching 50mph, Mark rose to the occasion and managed to capture some absolutely breathtaking photos. His ability to seize those incredible moments amidst the wind is a testament to his skill and dedication. We are beyond grateful for Mark's outstanding work and can't help but relive our wedding day through his stunning photography. read more

If you are looking for a talented, professional, artistically experienced photographer with an eye for detail and the ability to capture the spontaneity and emotion of your special day, I recommend without reservation, Mark Creery! My daughter in law interviewed and chose Mark to phototgraph her wedding day in Vail Colorado and this talented man documented the day with stunning photographs that will be treasured forever! Mark was able to celebrate the beauty of the venue, particularly the natural settings in Vail and was able to have a keen eye for capturing candid moments, with a touch of humor thrown in. Mark's photos tell their love story and bring back every feeling and emotion from that very special August day. My son and his beautiful wife hit the jackpot with this man as their photographer and I am confident that you will too! read more

I'm so excited that we chose Mark to shoot our engagement pictures! Mark was extremely professional in all of our communications and during the photo session. I picked him because he had a great eye for composition, lighting, color and location. He proved that to be true in the locations he picked for our session and the photos that he captured from them. One location just happened to be super windy from the storms moving through but he managed to capture the best pictures from the session! I also chose him because he focuses on capturing the more natural interactions that happen between people. My fiancé and I are a little awkward but Mark was able to work with us in such a way that we felt more comfortable to fall into those natural moments as the shoot went on. Mark was definitely everything I was looking for in a photographer! read more

Mark Creery has an incredible ability to pull out the best in every photograph. He has an eye for the sweeping, artsy shot but also the more standard, lined-up and posed shots. Leading up to the wedding Mark asked all the right questions to ensure the finished product was exactly what we expected - and more! At times he acted as a pseudo-wedding planner, giving us needed advice to help schedule the day's events to maximize his time and minimize impact to guests during photo shoots. Mark was professional and efficient, polite and courteous, and a calming influence during a very hectic time. Mark's photographs tell a compelling story about the best day of our lives. We highly recommend Mark, and we look forward to having more reasons to hire Mark to photograph us again in the future. read more

Mark was great from start to finish. My husband and I were very nervous about wedding photos because we're both pretty awkward in front of cameras. We decided to pick a package with an engagement shoot and it eased any fears we had! Mark was so great at picking great shots and helping us feel more natural and confident. On our wedding day, he was a godsend! He even helped me keep the groomsmen on task. He made to sure to get every photo I wanted, and the ones I didn't I needed! He was great. And when it came to receive our photos, I felt just as emotional as I did they day of except better, because we got to see parts of our wedding that we missed. He truly captured the essence of our day and our love. I am so happy that I'll always have Mark's beautiful photos to cherish. read more

We hired Mark for our wedding in Boulder and were so happy with his work! The package was really reasonably priced and even included an engagement session which provided beautiful photos to use on our wedding website. It was also so nice to get to know Mark prior to the wedding day, and from that first meeting we knew we were in good hands. Mark did an amazing job on our wedding day. He quietly captured every important moment but never imposed. He was really flexible and did a great job capturing all the pictures we requested. We absolutely loved our wedding photos and the prints made for wonderful holiday presents. When I had some requests for Mark well after the wedding day he was very responsive. Highly recommend him for wedding photography! read more
