HOLLY & MIKE

“We loved our experience with Marcus and M.Carter Photography! I was initially drawn to Marcus' ability to capture the authentic nature of events and emotions throughout the wedding day. And we received just that for our wedding day! We used Marcus for both our engagement shoot and wedding day. Marcus is professional, communicative, and you really get the feeling that he cares about giving his clients the best experience and photos based on what you want. He has great wedding packages, including offering more time on site than other competitors. Also, we received our wedding photos and "highlight" photos quicker than mostly everyone else in the business would have done. We would highly recommend!”

“Choosing the right photographer for your wedding is one of the most important decisions you will make in the planning process – after all, the wedding photos are going to be your lasting keepsake! Marcus was the PERFECT choice for capturing the spirit and beauty of our wedding day! Everyone who has seen my photos has been totally blown away by the quality of his work. Not only that, but working with Marcus was truly wonderful. He’s incredibly kind and professional, and he made me feel like I was in good hands from day one. I had a few shots that I knew I wanted to get and not only was he receptive to my ideas, he also suggested a lot of shots I would have never thought about (and loved!). Working with Marcus on the actual day of our wedding was basically just like hanging out with a friend who happened to be a world-class photographer. He was a special talent for making people feel comfortable in front of the camera with his gentle demeanor and easy laughter. My advice? Do NOT hesitate to book this man immediately – he’s a true gem!”

Wedding photography captures the essence of one of life's most significant days, weaving together a visual narrative of love, joy, and unity. Each image reflects the power of love and the beauty of union, preserving precious memories for generations to come. Being your wedding photographer is a privileged and fulfilling role, being the one entrusted with capturing the emotions and details that make your day special.

The Man Behind The Lens

A devoted photographer with a love for capturing life's fleeting moments. Photography is one of multiple blocks that make up my life. When i’m not preserving your most precious moments, I am spending time with my wonderful wife, Sandy, and our daughter, Charly Rose Carter. They are my inspiration and support!

Sandy provides unwavering support, while Charly’s everyday curiosity, reminds me daily of the beauty in the mundane and the importance of cherishing each moment. Together, they fuel my passion for preserving memories, ensuring that every click of the shutter captures not just an image, but a story filled with emotion and love.

PORTRAITS

Portrait photography is the art of making someone, a couple, or a group of people feel their best in a photo. This comes from the combination of location, light usage, outfits, and uniqueness. My portrait photography services range from solo sessions to engagements and family sessions. Every session is different and my focus is ensuring that the story behind the people in the frame is told and then preserved.
