Marcus Jolly

The photos you captured were stunning, and your art direction on our portraits resulted in some incredible shots that we will cherish forever!
I can't count how many people have complimented our photos, mentioning they would steal our photographer if they weren't yet already married :) 
Your photography is professional, but fresh.  It captures the reality of the experience without seeming too posed.  Also, it carried a sense of polish that distinguishes it from a lot of wedding photos that I have seen.

Marcus' approach to your big day is unparalleled. From that initial conversation to the planning process to the big day, he gets to understand you as a person and as a couple and that really comes through in the end result. He was able to anticipate what was important to us without having to tell him and he could read the events of the day and really pinpoint that magical moment or expression that we never want to forget. Our photos felt utterly timeless, dramatic, and real all at the same time. Marcus captured who we were as a couple and made us feel our absolute best. It's the in-between moments that really stood out - the moment of us laughing post ceremony when we had a moment alone or a secret moment between my mom and I - the moments I thought I would forget but now can remember thanks to Marcus' gift. Marcus' photography transcends trends and instead, focuses on what is classic and real. Each photograph is emotionally packed with authentic moments and his compositions really focus on what is essential. We were blown away and will forever cherish these images!

Marcus was such a calming presence on our wedding day. He made us, and our friends and family, feel comfortable and you can tell in all of our beautiful photos. He really fit in like one of the guests, but also kept us on time while ensuring we’d get all the shots we’d love. We look back at our photos so often and are so grateful with how perfectly he captured our day. From the sentimental parts like our first look and ceremony, to the epicness of our 5 hours dance party, you can feel the emotions through his images. We are so grateful to have had Marcus by our side!

Photographs are arguably one of the most important and lasting parts of a wedding, the one tangible thing couples are left with afterwards. There's a fine balance between getting amazing shots without couples feeling overly staged or consumed with photos on their wedding day. The importance of clients being present on their wedding day is a priority for me — these special moments and memories with loved ones can’t be recreated. Marcus effortlessly has the ability to confidently direct when needed, and is *nearly* invisible capturing intimate moments at other times. His imagery always feels authentic to the couple and the surroundings, it’s timeless yet current all at once.  He takes the time to get to know what is important to clients, is a calm energy and presence on the wedding day (we all need that), and is an absolute gem to work with!
