Hi I'm Mark!


I'm a UK based wedding photographer born and raised in Lancashire.

This dream career that I get to call my job has made it possible to capture couples in love all over the UK.


Even if you haven't quite got your plans set in stone, I'm always happy to help provide an insight into how I work and if it would fit your day. I love being by your side to help you before and throughout your wedding day. 


On the day, all I want to capture is the feelings, the mood, the emotions, the calm and crazy moments and all the details that make your wedding unique. My style is unobtrusive, I like to let the day flow naturally - capturing moments as they happen, a perfect combination for most wedding days.

Mark captured our day perfectly. Fitting in all my requests, his relaxed and informal style made our photos perfect. We were so pleased with the gallery. Can’t recommend him enough, and not only is he fantastic at his job, he’s a lovely bloke as well. There were lots of laughs during the shots which is exactly what we wanted for our day. Many of our guests commented on how great he was in terms of organising group shots and his relaxed approach

Mark is fantastic at what he does. Since the moment we contacted him he’s been nothing but reassuring and very informative in what he provides. We had our engagement and wedding photos with him, and after both sessions I was blown away by the photos! Mark has a very good eye and his professionalism is evident in the photos you get! Our wedding had a good amount of people attending and Mark did a great job at informing us what would be happening and capturing our special day on photo

Mark really captured our day in the best light. When we look over our photos it really is like reliving our big day. From start to finish he was outstanding. He travelled to Scotland for our wedding, no questions asked! Capturing natural moments alongside the important ones were really what we were looking for. His work is fantastic and a total pleasure to be around! Many compliments were received by our guest about him. We really couldn’t recommend Mark enough for your special events. Thank you again Mark

Mark did an incredible job on our wedding day. We had agreed in advance of the day the set photos we wanted to have taken but, the key thing we wanted on the day were those natural pictures of happy faces. Well Mark's non-intrusive approach was ideal for this and so many of our guests were surprised with the number of photos of them that they hadn't even realised were taken on the day.

He made our day so relaxing, nothing was too much trouble. When we got to the venue didn’t know he was taking photos some of the time.
I would highly recommend mark to everyone as he travels to get to you and does good package deals which caught my eye as I was on a budget. Got pictures on messenger quickly aswell which was exciting.
Thanks again Mark for making the day special

Mark was fantastic. We booked him for our wedding in May. He had a phone call with me prior to the wedding and we discussed pictures and where they were going to be done as we had the church and then the venue. We discussed key photos that I definitely wanted capturing.
On the day Mark came to my house as I was getting ready with the bridesmaids. We did not even know he was there as he was so discreet but captured some truly amazing candid moments!

We booked Mark to photograph our wedding back in October and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. He helped the day be so relaxed and explained to us exactly how we should pose and captured the most amazing candid photos through the day, some of my favourite photos were the ones we didn't know he was taking. I couldn't recommend Mark enough. Thank you for capturing exactly how magical the day really was

We spoke with Mark about booking him for our wedding. From first point of contact Mark professional but made us feel at ease and explained everything. On the day he was so subtle I didn’t even notice him taking a lot of the photos he did but honestly, I cried when we had them back as they were just perfect. Better than I could have ever imagined. Our USB was sent to us in the post with the most beautiful touch that really just finished off our whole experience with. We would 100% recommend him.

Mark is the most genuine down to earth guy. We met up on the afternoon of our wedding and he was just perfect! He made us all feel at ease. I’ve had so many comments from our guests about how fantastic he was. He felt like he was part of our wedding party. I can’t recommend this man enough. The word to describe him and his photography skills is PERFECT.

Mark is a really lovely guy with a massive talent for photography. He made me feel so relaxed and comfortable both when booking with him and on our wedding day. The photos are beautiful and it was a pleasure to have Mark a part of our wedding. Mark worked hard to make sure we got the photos we wanted while also being fast so we could enjoy our time with our guests. The photos are stunning and the way he turned a small bit of wasteland into a stunning backdrop for our photos was amazing. Thank you Mark

We booked Mark for our wedding as he was local but also due to his amazing portfolio of existing work!
We spent well over an hour going through all the photos, every single photo inspiring a new memory or talking point! Every single one is perfect and beautiful!
We loved there our plenty of us but also so many of the people we love and wanted there to celebrate with us! So many we can send to friends for them to enjoy too!
Mark is also extremely professional but most importantly friendly!

We had a few hitches during the day...including the groom being admitted to hospital! and he was so compassionate. The quality of the photos was 2nd to none!! can't recommend him highly enough!

We hired Mark McLoughlin Photography to shoot our wedding and we could not be happier.
He was professional, organised and easy to work with and he arranged a consultation beforehand to discuss which photos we wanted on the day. We booked the whole day package, and we are so pleased with the outcome. Our photos are stunning and were back in such a quick time considering he took so many photos and was with us all day. We received our photos within two weeks fully edited and the quality is amazing

Nicole Tomlinson

I am honestly blown away with our photos from our wedding. He managed to take snaps of every little moment, from people greeting and arriving from special moments like tears and smiles. He was able to persevere through tough moments with my children and still was able to take the most amazing pictures of them. My family and friends at our wedding commented on how attentive Mark was and how he was able to react so quickly in taking the perfect photos as everyone interacted with each other.

There are no words to describe Mark, he has the patience of a saint, very professional and his work is AMAZING! We highly recommend him. He has captured all of our wedding in his pictures and I am so happy with his work. We cannot thank him enough for this!

My wife and I hired Mark to photograph our wedding at a local manor house. His communications before the day were spot on, we had a call with him the week before during which we covered all the family and guests who would attend and put as at ease.
The day itself was wonderful, and Mark could not have been more accomodating and professional. He put everyone at ease and was sensitive to the various familial dynamics. The candid shots were fantastic and the more formal posed shots are beautiful.

Mark has been great since the day I messaged him about being our wedding photographer and I can’t thank him enough for the beautiful photos he captured for us. We had great communication throughout and a speedy delivery of our gallery. I’m so pleased we chose Mark and I can’t recommend him enough!

Victoria Walsh

From booking 2 years prior to the actual day Mark had been fantastic! Communication was great, quick to get back to me & the phonecall the week before we both had a similar plan in mind!
On the day I felt at ease the minute he started, wasn't too over powering or staged with photos and hardly knew he was there!
Now we've had the photos back I am so in love, they are amazing and captured so much I'd even forgotten about! Would 100% recommend every time!

Bethany Nicholson

I would absolutely 100% recommend mark, such a fantastic and talented photographer,
I'm a photographer myself so finding someone who I could trust to capture my day perfectly was a hard choice, until I came across marks work,
Mark will make you feel at ease, will talk you through your poses and walk around like a silent photography ninja.
