BUCKINGHAMSHIRE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

I’m Mark Sisley, Buckinghamshire wedding photographer. My lovely studio is located in the former servants quarters of a Queen Ann Manor House in Chesham, Bucks. I’ve now been a full time professional photographer for just over twenty years.  To date I’ve photographed over 1,200 weddings and over 3,000 outdoor family portraits.  My wedding photography and family portraits take me throughout the UK, although most of my bookings are in Buckinghamshire and Home Counties areas.

My website has over 50 different galleries, showcasing Buckinghamshire wedding photography as well as other Home Counties venues I attend regularly. You’ll also find galleries for Classic, Candid, Detail, Barn, Kids, Winter and Marquees.  You may also wish to follow my regular blog posts, and read my customer reviews.

A BIT ABOUT ME

First and foremost, I’m known as a wedding photographer here in Buckinghamshire. When I don’t have a camera in hand, you’ll probably find me visiting antique shops and food markets, or tending to our numerous flower borders at home. My perfect holiday destination would be in the Scottish Highlands – the scenery is stunning for photographs! My favourite pastime is kayaking, and I regularly paddle some of the calmer rivers in the UK; this is the ultimate peaceful relaxation. To read more about me, have a look at my About page.

MY PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE

I mix modern fun reportage photography with classic style imagery.  I’m known for my eye popping colourful images and my dramatic use of light, particularly in my signature night time wedding photographs (READ MORE.)  At the same time, I keep my rates reasonable to ensure I stay busy in the job I love, photographing weddings in the beautiful historic properties of Buckinghamshire.

For me there is nothing more magical and inspiring than documenting candid, natural moments between two soul mates. I would love to capture your love story with images that mean something to you, and will be treasured forever.

BUCKINGHAMSHIRE COMMERCIAL & EVENTS PHOTOGRAPHY

I'm probably best known for capturing informal, reportage, fun images, with eye popping rich vibrant colours for my events pictures. I always use the kindest most flattering lighting effects, and at all times I also have an eye on the background scenery and architecture, and all the finer details that ensure your pictures really stand out.

For my commercial photography I love trying new ideas and experimenting with unusual lighting methods. My background in advertising, architectural and fashion photography has been the best possible grounding for my imaginative, colourful and dramatic photographic style.

My commercial and events assignments take me throughout the UK, although most of my bookings are in the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire & London areas.
