Mark is the most incredible photographer. Aside from your partner, your photographer is the person you will spend most of your wedding day with. Mark was fun, prepared, professional and slipped into the background when the shenanigans began! Our photos were so spectacular that they are now used for marketing weddings in Clontarf Castle Dublin. Many of our friends and family booked Mark having seen him in action on our big day. We will cherish our photos forever.

We got married at Barnabrow House and we trusted Mark to capture all the special moments from our day -

and thank God we did!!!! Mark is firstly an absolute gentleman. He is great craic, yet a true perfectionist.

Our album of photos are absolutely incredible and he managed to capture so many scenes. Our photos are exactly what we asked for - natural, nothing too staged, some family shots, and all the fun was captured too.

We had a videographer on our wedding day too, and Mark and the other vendor worked like the A team!

They had never met before, but how they complimented each others work was incredible. Mark is such a

talent and so adaptable!

If you've read this far - I think you get the jist..... Mark Coombes is the best in the business. We wouldn't

change a single thing!!!! Always grateful - Laura and Dave xxx

Where do I start because Mark was such a pleasure to deal with from the first day we met him, he was just

so helpful and nothing was a bother to him. He is just so creative and he captured the most amazing

photographs of our wedding day. He went above and beyond throughout the day and night to make our

wedding day extra special and we will be forever grateful to him for all he done. We have the most amazing

photos to treasure for the rest of our lives. We would highly recommend Mark as he is amazing at what he

does.. His photos help us relive the day all over again.

We had the pleasure of Mark being our photographer for our wedding; we cannot express how thrilled we are

with the results. His attention to detail, creativity, and ability to capture the genuine emotions of the day truly

exceeded our expectations. From the pre-wedding shots, to the ceremony and reception, every moment was

beautifully documented. Mark has a remarkable talent for making you feel he's not imposing on your special

moments, he fades into the background and let's you enjoy the day while capturing each moment for you to

cherish. His professionalism, promptness and flexibility made the entire process so enjoyable, not an easy

task during COVID. If you're seeking a wedding photographer who not only delivers stunning photographs

but also adds a positive and stress-free dynamic to your special day, Mark Coombes is the perfect choice.

We are immensely grateful for the memories that were captured on the day.

From the minute we reached out to Mark back in the summer of 2018, he was just fabulous to deal with. We

were due to get married in August 2020 but due to COVID we had a few reschedules; throughout this

process, Mark was patient, understanding and helped with providing available dates at each request. We live

in Canada, but Mark was always quick to reply and very communicative right up to after our wedding date.

On the day itself, Mark was fantastic – he is the ultimate professional and his work speaks for itself! He also

kept us relaxed and comfortable throughout the day, and we just loved the natural element of his work. It’s

been nearly two years since our wedding, and we still look back on the photos! Mark is just a total gent, and

we are so grateful for all he did for us. Also wanted to give a shout-out to Mark’s daughter Kerry who

captured some amazing drone pics for us!

We would highly recommend Mark to any couple looking for a wedding photographer – everything was

faultless from start to finish! Thank you again Mark!

Sharon Whelton & Mike Roberts -11th August 2022

The photographer was the one wedding supplier that I really wanted to be top quality and Mark did not

disappoint. He gave up so much of his time before the big day and we got to discuss our ideas with him and

he gave us such good advice in these meetings. By the end of that process we had a clear plan for the day.

On the day too Mark was just sensational. He captured so many special moments with family and friends

and had such novel ideas for photos of Michael and I. The photos didn’t feel staged and everything was

done with a smile and a joke. The photo album, which we received shortly after the wedding, is something I

treasure and love looking at it seeing some of the gorgeous pictures and memories Mark captured. I cannot

praise Mark enough. A true professional who puts the couple at the heart of his work.

Niamh O’Meara & Michael Rea - 9th April 2022

Mark was a consummate professional and enhanced our wedding immensely from the preparations to the

day itself. For a couple who don’t necessarily like photographs Mark had a great knack of keeping things

casual and relaxed and allowed us to feel at ease throughout. He mostly blended into the background but

when he was interacting with us, the bridal party and our families he was great craic and really added to the

day. On a practical level, he also helped us plan out a rough timeline for the day which made booking

appointment times, vendors etc much easier. Most important of all, the finished product, the photos

themselves were gorgeous and we have stunning memories of our wedding day forever.

Nicola Crowley & Olan Hayes - 3rd June 2023

Mark exceeded our expectations and the photos of our wedding were beyond stunning! We couldn’t be happier we

chose Mark to photograph our special day. From the initial emails and subsequent meeting to our wedding album

everything was perfect and professional. All our guests commented just how good Mark was from the first photos

getting ready early in the morning, to the last taken on the dance floor late at night! We have since had a family

photography session with our daughter when back visiting West Cork this summer and again, Mark goes above and

beyond to get the 'perfect shot'. I couldn't recommend him enough, he's a fantastic photographer, an absolute gentleman

and completely puts you at ease on your big day!

Louise O’Mahony & Leo McGee - 23trd September 2017

You know Mark, our wedding photographer, was amazing when even the guests at the wedding were still

talking about Mark and his photos weeks later. Any of our guests who were engaged or had family members

engaged asked for his name & contact details

Sinéad Brooks & Killian Daly - 1st September 2022

We would definitely recommend Mark for photography on your wedding day. From our first meeting with

Mark we were impressed by his warm professionalism and attention to detail. On our wedding day he put us

at ease by how relaxed he was. We are blown by the beautiful moments he captured throughout the day.

Maria Jennings & Dermot Marley - 4th August 2022

We were absolutely over the moon with Marks work. His attention to detail, work ethic and his great

personality really made the day as special as it could be. We love looking back at the photos and reliving the

day. We would highly recommend Mark

Nicole Connolly & Thomas Clancy 6th August 2022

Mark was an absolute pleasure to deal with. His professionalism has to be admired. While also remaining

fun and creative when it came to our wedding photos. I can recommend Mark to anyone who wants an easy

going, happy, professional photographer. I felt Mark surpassed any customer service or expectations we may

have had. Thanks a million Mark.

Kate English & Dave Collins - 18th September 2022

We were so lucky to have Mark be part of our wedding day. We are beyond grateful for his amazing

photography skills and his ability to put everyone at ease. We truly appreciate how comfortable he made us

feel and the beautiful memories he created and captured!

Mary O’Donovan & Shane Magner - 15th October 2021

Mark was the stand out supplier for our wedding! His experience was so helpful in planning our

day! From when Mark arrived in the morning he joined in with the fun and the photos were just

amazing! He even spotted a rainbow and got us straight out for a photo which has to be the number

one photo of the day! We could not recommend Mark enough!

We received our sample photos within a week of our wedding and were delighted with the quick

turnaround, and the quality of the pictures.

Ellen Lynch & Cathal O’Flaherty - 1st October 2021

Mark is an amazing photographer, his attention to detail is remarkable and it shows in the pictures. Mark has

an amazing ability to capture the important and beautiful moments without you even realising that he is

there. Not only is he professional, but he is great fun and we had lots of laughs with him!

Yvonne Twohig & Donie Ryan - 8th June 2018

Mark was absolutely fantastic on the lead up to the wedding. He captured the day beautifully and we felt so

at ease throughout the day. I would highly recommend Mark to future brides. We were so happy with our

wedding photos.
