About Mark Sisley Photography

I'm Mark Sisley, and I’ve been shooting weddings throughout the Home Counties and further afield for the past 20 years. My lovely studio is located in the former servants quarters of a Queen Ann Manor House in Chesham, Buckinghamshire.

My approach is very relaxed and unobtrusive. I will capture your wedding truthfully, and with a sprinkle of artistic flair, together with any classic poses or groups you may require. I work fast, and I have a keen eye for detail and ability to see the little fleeting moments in-between. I am constantly on the look out for the laughter, the tears, the details and those wonderful emotional moments. I want to tell your wedding day story as candidly and as artistically as I can. My customers want a relaxed and fun wedding that can be enjoyed by them and all their guests .

I prefer not to follow the crowd with the current photographic trends and fads, I much prefer to use my own artistic approach. This ensures that you’ll be the proud keepers of lots of unique wedding images in the years ahead that will never date. I promise you won’t see any filtered, faded or vintage colour casts in my portfolio as is the current trend in my industry, my imagery is processed for optimum natural colours and vibrancy. I would like to believe that my way of working certainly differentiates me from other photographers.

I’m never afraid to push the boundaries or experiment in my pursuit of stunning photographs. I am especially known for my dramatic floodlit night-time photographs at the weddings I attend -you’ll see these unique images displayed throughout my portfolio.

Standard package including edited images on a USB, an album is optional.

We can't thank you enough for taking such amazing photographs of our wedding recently. They are perfect! You really understood the 'natural but formal' pictures that we were after, and even made sure that all of our guests featured in a photo somewhere. A few of the pictures really were a snapshot moment, and how you managed to capture them we will never know! You were fantastic with the younger wedding guests, and they absolutely loved being so involved. The photos are such a fantastic way of remembering a special day, and we will always look through these with joy and happiness. We can't wait to show these off to our family an friends - thank you!

Many thanks,
Marie and Rich

5 stars, 10 out of 10, 100% - use whichever measure you wish our experience was that Mark is a wonderful photographer. He is warm and friendly and all of our guests commented on how "good" and "nice he was". His attention to detail in our "posed" shots has made for some amazing pictures (who knew we could look so good!?). He also managed to capture some great shots of our venue and guests in a very relaxed and unobtrusive way.
As time passes and our memory of the day fades, Mark has provided us with a fantastic set of photographs to remind us and keep the memories fresh. Richard & Iwa - Taplow House Hotel

Our wedding was a truly magical day, which has been beautifully captured by Mark Sisley.

Mark instantly became one of the family members as soon as he entered my parents house. We were surprisingly calm and this allowed us to create some really happy shots, even though we were restricted to stay indoors to prevent my veil blowing away in the windy conditions!

When my dad and I arrived at the ceremony, the first comforting face I saw was Mark’s. No one needs to feel nervous when you’ve got a wealth of experience surrounding you - his comforting words were so appreciated before we entered the ceremony. His peaceful aura allowed us to enjoy every second of the day. And during the ceremony, Mark was invisible to us - whilst capturing so many stunning romantic shots.

The happiness of our day continued at the venue where we could finally have some beautiful pictures taken in the picturesque gardens, this was despite the rain! In order to achieve the amazing photographs in the soggy conditions - Mark had the entire bridal party making us laugh, holding brollies, and placing flowers close to the lens for some special effects. They loved every minute of being involved - the whole time Mark was invisible to us - whilst capturing some stunning shots!

Even though we were feeling a little tired towards the end of the evening, we were really keen to pose for some of Mark’s signature floodlit evening poses, and we are so happy we did! These particular photos are breathtaking, and we can’t wait to have one enlarged to hang in our home to remind us of our special day.

We can’t thank Mark enough; for not only taking truly amazing photos of our wedding day, but also for his exceptional organisational skills. With Mark you don’t just get an amazing photographer, but you also get a fabulous coordinator to make sure the day runs smoothly.

Thank you so much Mark, Laura & Michael x

Dear Mark

I wanted to write and say a thousand thank yous for the fantastic photos that you took on our wedding day. You have captured the beautiful atmosphere of the day and created memories that we are so proud of and can look back on with absolute pleasure for the rest of our lives. Everybody we have spoken to has found some photos of themselves that they like and the group shots were brilliant. We have had so many complements on your professionalism and attention to detail, especially in the group photos and I can’t thank you enough. It was the best day of my life and I am so happy that we found you to take the photos.

With kind regards, Louise & Marcus

Dear Mark, Wow, the pictures are truly stunning and some of them are just hilarious. We’ll definitely enjoy looking at them over and over again! The colours, clarity and composition are just exquisite, but we have to say that our favourites are the floodlit ones you captured, but we love them all!

We cannot thank you enough. The photos are just amazing, and you were definitely the best wedding photographer for Bucks on the web, and you didn’t disappoint! You have captured the story of our day fabulously which is just what we were after, perfectly beautiful!

We’ll certainly be recommending you to everyone, including our wedding planner at Halton House.

Kind regards, Ali & Craig

Anthony and I felt very comfortable with Mark from our first meeting in his studio, through to our big day. We had a truly wonderful wedding day, and Mark definitely captured the spirit and the mood of the day to perfection. A lot of our guests commented on how patient and utterly professional Mark was, and we certainly felt that he was there for us, to ensure that we got the best memories possible from our special day. We are very happy with our pictures, and they are a true reflection of the memories that we have. Thank you Mark! Selena & Anthony

I could not have chosen better!

The venue was booked, wedding dress sorted and now the other bits. I asked Georgie what I could do and she said we need a photographer. I was impressed with the way you presented yourself, I found you through Google. I did not know at the time how much of an impact this decision could have, the importance of capturing the perfect day professionally was distorted by the thought that I needed to find someone who could take some pictures. Thankfully I chose the best, but I could be laying low now if my initial instincts had been misguided rather than basking in the glory. To be honest I feel a bit smug that I found you and the resulting ‘perfect memories’.

Couples should not think twice about whether to commission you to capture their special occasion, you are up there with the top value decisions that I have made in my life. The pride I had walking Georgie down the aisle to meet Ricardo is a once in a lifetime privilege and having a friendly yet totally professional person in charge of capturing the moment was very special. I would highly recommend you to anyone considering who to trust in making this ‘bigger than you think’ decision having experienced your results.

Thank you so much for making the perfect day last with a lifetime of wonderful reminders.

Andrew and I spent considerable time selecting a wedding photographer and have been absolutely thrilled with the exceptionally high quality of photos that you have captured of our wedding day.

You struck perfectly the delicate balance between ensuring all our wish-list photos were taken whilst maintaining the jovial mood of the occasion. Our large group photo demonstrates so clearly your ability to 'direct' guests without losing the atmosphere and your eye for detail ensured that every single face was clearly visible and facing the camera.

At all stages of the process, we found you to be highly personable, professional, an excellent communicator and above all, an outstanding photographer. We now face the unenviable task of selecting our images for the album - all 600 plus photos are stunning and an instant reminder of the wondrous day we all had.

We cannot recommend you highly enough.

Dear Mark, Jonathan and I are overjoyed with our beautiful photographs from our wedding at the Dairy, Waddesdon. You have not only captured the beauty of the venue but you have captured the essence of our family and friends. Your photos show what an amazing and fun day we had. You gave us confidence from our early meetings and emails that we would not need to worry about the photographs but they have exceeded our expectations. The formal photos balance with the fun informal pictures added with the touches of the venue which will remind us in the future of what a great day it was. We didn't even realise you had taken some of the photographs and they were such a surprise to see. Thank you Mark for being so lovely, relaxed, helpful, professional and unobtrusive and for providing us with an incredible reminder of what an outstanding wedding we had!

We first met Mark at a wedding fair at Missenden Abbey in Buckinghamshire. He was actually the first photographer we met and after listening to him at the wedding fair we were very impressed with what he had to say, together with his brochure and website. We had total confidence in his expertise.

We met with him prior to the event to talk through the day, and the kind of shots we wanted. We particularly wanted photos that were not too formal and more relaxed.

On the day, he got straight into shooting and in a friendly way managed the shots. He was very efficient in organising the group poses, and very good at getting shots of us easily with our family and friends. I can honestly say from the brief we had a couple of days before that he knew exactly what we wanted and exactly where to photograph us at the right times.

We are now in receipt of the photographs he took, and we are very pleased with them. He also enhanced our favourite photographs to an even higher standard, but to be honest we thought the they were perfect as they were on the gallery. He also offers extra services which include albums, or you can just opt for all the photographs on a USB, which was perfect for us.

We would say that he offers a package to suit all needs and pockets.

We would not hesitate in recommending Mark Sisley for any photographic occasion.
