Kind Words:
You should ABSOLUTELY book Mark to capture your wedding day! It will be up there among your best decisions in organising your wedding. It was unequivocally one of ours!
There are so many reasons I would recommend Mark to anyone looking for a photographer, and they can be grouped into two categories: his exceptional talent and because he is a brilliant guy.
Mark’s photographs make you feel. When I first looked at his collection, I was struck by how much emotion I had looking at pictures of people I didn’t know. My wife and I can be incredibly awkward in photos and barely ever like ourselves in pictures. Mark’s ability to capture the highs of our day with such stunning photographs meant that we could relive our day with such joy and happiness. They are the best pictures we have ever had and likely ever will be.
To spend your time in Mark's company is to feel at ease and to feel like you’re hanging out with a mate. He went above and beyond to make sure my wife and I had the best time getting our pictures taken. He was incredibly calming and assuring in a day which could feel hectic and time constrained. He was great vibes the whole day, always smiling and making us feel amazing as we got our photos taken. Everyone who encountered him said he was so lovely, and everyone who has seen the photos has agreed they capture the pure joy and energy of our day. Mark's patience was unparalleled, particularly with me when I didn’t know how to stand normally when there was a camera on me.
Thank you so much for everything Mark. 👏
Mark absolutely needs to be your wedding photographer! Everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Complete transparency of the whole process - no hidden costs and everything was so well communicated from that first enquiry to getting our photos.
The pre-wedding shoot (whilst a bit daunting) absolutely takes the edge off any photo nerves on the day. Mark has an absolutely brilliant eye for photography and a passion for weddings. He manages to stay calm and lighthearted on the day whilst keeping on top of everybody and making sure you get all your photos yet not being overbearing or bossy (which I think must be some form of sorcery?!)
All the little details and candid moments were captured perfectly and the photos are STUNNING. Thank you again for the most beautiful memories from our day!
Thank you so much, Mark. We absolutely love them and can’t stop looking at them! The colours and attention to detail are amazing! It was an absolute pleasure to have you with us on our big day you are the best hype man ever!
You really are a like a ninja - we don't know how you got so many angles of the ceremony we didn't even notice you moving around 😂
Can't wait to get these framed and up in the house.
Thank you so so much.

Mark was our photographer for our wedding day in December last year. We initially met in October for our couples shoot & he made us feel so comfortable because he’s such a class guy!
Our wedding photos are so perfect & captured every part of our day. We highly recommend booking Mark! ☺️
Well, where do I begin with our journey with the legend that is Mark Wild!
I approached Mark in April 2019 when my now husband and I decided to secretly plan our wedding. Being into photography I had an exact idea of how I envisaged our photos to look and more importantly the way in which they would be captured. Having chosen our venue, Oran Mor I trawled Instagram in search of some inspiration......it was there I seen this one photo of a bride that just stood out and had that WOW FACTOR. That photograph was taken by Mark!
I went to his website, and fell in love with his style, the colours and tones he created and knew just I had to book him! He was very prompt with his reply and totally up for our secret wedding planning idea.
Months passed as my partner was away with work. When he returned later that year we contacted Mark to book our pre-wedding shoot.....little did I know my partner and Mark had secretly been in talks and planned the ultimate surprise.
Our pre-shoot could not have been more romantic and beautiful. Mark chose Maxwell Park in Glasgow south side and it was a crisp autumn. We chatted away, h getting to know one another and under Mark's direction I was blissfully unaware that he and my partner were setting up the best surprise for me.......my partner on one knee with the engagement ring we had agreed we weren't gonna do! It was such a lovely and totally unexpected moment that we are so lucky to have captured by Mark as the moments unfolded. The first of many thank yous!
Our wedding day went down an absolute storm! No really.....it was the day storm Dennis hit and the weather was wild! This did not stop Mark and our plans to venture over to the Botanics for the perfect couple shots! Mark was on top form from start to finish and felt like one of our guests. His relaxed and laid back approach made our day just flow and we had such a laugh. He is professional, funny and a pleasure to be around.
Your search for your wedding photographer starts and ends here. Our photos are just spectacular and we have had so many compliments on them already. You will not be disappointed as what Mark can create is nothing short of perfection which tells a story capturing every emotion as it unfolds. Also, you'll have those photos back in record time which for me is important.
Take a bow, Mark and thank you for everything.

Mark was absolutely brilliant on our wedding day at Òran Mór. From the first 'getting-ready' photos to the final dancing ones, he was exceptional, somehow managing to both blend into the background and also be a fun presence. We were completely blown away by our huge album of wedding photos (which arrived in record time). He managed to capture our day so perfectly, a few months down the line and we still can't stop looking at them. We have received so many compliments on our photos. Mark took us out of our venue at a couple of points during the day which means we have a vast variety of photos across Glasgow's west end, and we honestly couldn't be happier with them. Thank you for a perfect representation of our special day with photos that we'll treasure forever."
Mark photographed our wedding and I can’t rate him highly enough. My husband is not a fan of photographs but Mark made him feel more at ease and encouraged him to be in more photos than he would have been.
The photos are beautiful, they capture our day perfectly. I actually cried when we first saw them. Mark was great with all the guests and moved around discreetly capturing natural moments throughout the day. Everything you would want in a wedding photographer
We booked Mark during the pandemic when we were unable to meet in person but even in our initial meeting over Zoom we knew we'd found a personality we would enjoy working with in the lead up to the wedding and on the day itself. Mark's photos were exactly what we were looking for, capturing all the little moments and emotions of the day from start to finish in beautiful colour and composition.
Neither of us particularly like having our photo taken but Mark put us completely at ease on our pre-wedding shoot so much so that we ended up really enjoying it and came away with some fantastic images.
This was the same on the wedding day where nothing was too much trouble and he felt like one of the guests with his friendly, funny and laid back approach. He accommodated all the shots we knew we wanted to capture before the day but really shone in all the other 'unposed' shots, capturing moments in the ceremony, the speeches and of course the dancing in the evening.
We couldn't be happier with the images we have received from our wedding day and we have been enjoying reliving the day all over again as we look through the album. Friends and family are delighted with all the shots too and they will be cherished for many years to come!
Despite some uncertainty brought by a global pandemic and a postponed wedding date we had a fantastic experience from initial enquiry through to prompt delivery of our images after the day and we would wholeheartedly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a photographer for their wedding.
Thanks again Mark and all the best!

We feel we’re shortchanging Mark if we only review his photography. He was our usher, bridesmaid, counsellor and wedding organiser all in one as well. The man was nothing short of incredible when he was the photographer at our wedding at the end of June 2019. From the initial consultations to the very last photograph he took, he was the epitome of professionalism, talent and bloomin’ great fun. Our engagement shoot was such a laugh and the photographs he took were beautiful, really capturing us and our love. Those were worth his fee alone!!
On our wedding day itself, Mark arrived early, scouted out all the best areas for photos and then proceeded to go above and beyond in any way he could. Both of us said that we genuinely have no idea what we would have done had Mark not been there. He put us at ease, made us laugh constantly and his energy made the day one to remember. All of the guests commented on how amazing he was and not one person felt like they were being photographed…he was like a stealthy photo ninja!
The wedding photographs themselves are truly incredible, perfectly capturing the magic of the day for us to relive over and over again. The man is seriously talented when it comes to photography and we would highly recommend him to absolutely everyone! When we think back to our wedding day in many years to come, the love, laughs and kindness that Mark showed us will be something that comes to mind. From the bottom of our hearts mate, thank you so much. All our love, Lucy & John x
What can we say about Mark, other than we love him and think he's the best guy ever!
Mark is so amazing, so professional, and so incredibly talented. The coolest guy we've ever known.
We first came across Mark when we booked our wedding at Oran Mor and noticed one of his pictures being used on their brochure. The picture was beautiful, so vibrant and so colourful and we were instantly drawn to it. We went on Mark's website and enquired about his availability and fortunately for us, he was available and happy to have a call to chat about what we were looking for.
Mark is so kind, so friendly and so easy to talk to. He really listens and does everything he can to give you what you ask for. He is also so knowledgeable and is always so kind and helpful with his advice.
Due to COVID, we never actually got to meet Mark in person until a few weeks before the wedding but when we did, it was as if we'd known him forever. We met Mark in a local park for a pre-wedding photoshoot in order to get to know one another and get used to having our picture taken. It was such an amazing experience. We were both a little bit apprehensive beforehand, never having had a professional photoshoot before but Mark was so chilled and so engaging that we were sad when it ended.
On the day of the wedding, Mark was amazing, put us both at ease and made the whole process relaxed and fun. Some of the greatest memories from our wedding were when we were alone with Mark and our videographers getting pictures in the botanic gardens. It felt like you were just hanging out with your mates and everyone was buzzing.
During the ceremony and the wedding reception, you hardly noticed Mark as he blends into the day so naturally. In between, Mark kept us on track and was a much-appreciated source of support and guidance. The pictures captured of our day are incredible and left us speechless. They are everything we could have ever hoped for and more. They are so clear, so beautiful and so professional. The images Mark has produced will be treasured forever. We can't stop looking at them!
Mark, thank you so much again for everything! You made everything so perfect and we hope we'll see you again soon because every second spent with you is an absolute pleasure!
We're thinking of maybe getting divorced and remarried again, just so we can do it all again and have an excuse to hang out with you all some more! Big big love to you always.
