Bigeye Photography Full Description

Fun, colourful and relaxed!

If you’re planning your wedding and those three words above resonate with you, then I'm here to capture every special moment. I take a creative, fun, documentary-style approach to wedding photography. My goal is to capture the real emotions, laughter, and candid moments that make your day truly unique. I work unobtrusively, so you can relax and enjoy your celebration whilst you can be confident your wedding day is bveing captured naturally and creatively.

Warm and friendly

Feeling nervous in front of the camera is totally normal, and I understand that. I'm known for creating a warm, friendly atmosphere that helps couples and their guests feel comfortable from the very start. Check out my Google reviews which explain how I work from real couples. This personal approach means the photography becomes a seamless part of your day, not an interruption. I blend in with your guests, capturing life as it happens.

Style and Approach

I focus on vibrant, natural images that reflect the true spirit of your wedding day. This ensures your wedding gallery is filled with life, emotion, and colour. Here’s what I offer:

  • Full Day Coverage: From the excitement of getting ready to the energy on the dance floor, every key moment is captured.
  • Candid Moments: Special attention is given to those unposed, fleeting moments that mean so much.
  • Creative Portraits: While keeping things natural, I also dedicate time to crafting beautiful, artistic portraits of you as a couple.
  • Videography: I also offer full videography coverage including a highlight film, ceremony coverage and speeches.

What Couples Say

Couples consistently praise me for delivering stunning photos and a truly enjoyable experience. Many highlight how I goes above and beyond to capture unforgettable moments while staying discreet. The final images often exceed expectations, bringing back the joy and emotion of the day every time they’re viewed. Send me a message to find out more and let's get a Zoom chat in the diary!

Marcus was a calming and joyful presence throughout the day

We honestly couldn’t recommend Marcus enough for any events! From the moment he arrived for our wedding, he made us feel completely at ease, his easygoing nature and great sense of humour meant we quickly forgot any nerves about being in front of the camera. He captured our day so beautifully! One of the moments that really stood out to us was how amazing he was with our niece, who was our flower girl. She’s on the spectrum and was quite anxious at first, but Marcus was incredibly gentle and thoughtful with her. He got down to her level, took the time to talk with her, and helped her feel comfortable and before long, she was smiling and loving being part of the photos! Marcus was a calming and joyful presence throughout the day, and we’re so grateful for everything he did. Thank you for giving us memories we’ll cherish forever!

We can't recommend (or thank) Marcus enough!

Marcus photographed our wedding in April and our engagement shoot last October and, WOW. He captured so many happy moments throughout the wedding day, so much so that it's hard to pick our favourite photos! It's safe to say that we will treasure every one for the rest of our lives :) The engagement shoot was also a wonderful experience. Not only did it help to settle any nerves about being photographed on the wedding day (Marcus is very friendly and made the morning feel more like a leisurely stroll in the countryside than a photoshoot!), but it was the perfect excuse to get some lovely photos that we put on display at the wedding. We can't recommend (or thank) Marcus enough!

We highly recommend Bigeye Photography.

We can’t thank Marcus enough for capturing our Wedding day! From our initial zoom meeting, he made us feel at ease about how he would capture the day and we knew he was the right person for the job! On the day, he was amazing and captured the most beautiful moments and also blended into our day, so much our guests barely noticed him! Our guests had wonderful things to say about how friendly he was. We felt comfortable and were able to be ourselves throughout the day. Everyone has loved the photos and our wedding video brings the day (and happy tears) back every time we watch it! We highly recommend Bigeye Photography. Thank you Marcus!

Marcus just gets it.

Marcus just gets it. From our initial contact with Marcus, we knew he would be the right person to photograph our wedding. Our main aim for the day (other than being married by the end of it) was to make sure everyone had a chilled, fun time and Marcus really buys into that mentality. Many of our guests commented on how friendly and engaging he was. He arrived while we were getting ready and just took care of everything from there, without being too imposing or getting in the way. Storm Bert was well and truly in effect during our wedding weekend, but Marcus took everything in his stride and produced some fantastic photos in spite of the conditions. We were surprised to get a message from him just 4 days after the wedding saying that the photos were ready and could not be happier with how they turned out. Marcus is a master of his craft and anyone looking for a photographer who can blend into the background and create a relaxing atmosphere resulting in great photos should look no further.

Worth every penny!

Marcus did both our wedding photos and videos and we were absolutely blown away with the end results! He was recommended to us by a friend and we are so glad we went with that recommendation! He made us feel at ease from the very first phone call (we are not posey photo people at all so were a bit nervous), the run up to the wedding itself was really stress-free, Marcus made us feel like everything was in hand and he was all over the details of our big day. On the day he was professional, a lot of fun and really helped us capture all aspects of our day (including a very chaotic ceremony entrance which involved 3 crying children!!!). We also paid extra to have him there for an hour after first dance to capture some fun dancefloor shots and they are so brilliant - worth every penny! Thanks again Marcus!

The photos are even better than we could have imagined

We can’t thank Marcus enough for the incredible job he did as our wedding photographer! He sent our photos back to us quickly (and there were so many!), and we are absolutely obsessed with them. Marcus captured the essence and blend of our cultures on our special day so beautifully. The photos are even better than we could have imagined, especially since we’re not the most natural in front of the camera. Marcus made us feel completely at ease, and it really shows in our couple portraits—we love how they turned out. Many of our guests commented on how lovely he was and enjoyed chatting with him throughout the day. These photos will always be cherished reminders of the best day of our lives. Thank you, Marcus, for making our wedding so special! If you're looking for stunning, natural shots, you need to book Marcus. We can't recommend him highly enough!

Marcus has been absolutely brilliant to work with

Marcus has been absolutely brilliant to work with and his photos are stunning, we could not be more pleased we chose him to capture our wedding! It was a real pleasure to have him there with us on the big day, he was a hit with the guests and lots of fun to have around, plus the results are better than we could have ever imagined! We knew Marcus was the photographer for us the first time we met, he had us at ease and laughing on an introductory zoom call. He has been great at communicating with us throughout, quickly replying to questions as well as proactively making sure to get all the important details so we could relax on the day itself. We would highly recommend doing a pre-wedding shoot with Marcus too, it was great to get the practice we needed as well as some lovely informal shots too. It really put our nerves at ease for the wedding and meant we enjoyed the day more. On the day he was brilliant at striking a balance between spontaneous and planned photos, capturing all the important moments as well as those unique to our day. We are so pleased with how many great photos we have received, the quality is flawless and they are a perfect way to remember the most amazing day. Genuinely can’t recommend Marcus enough, if you are in doubt just book!

Everything we wanted and more!

Wow what can I say about Marcus from Bigeye Photography.. From start to finish he was nothing but exceptional. From laughing non stop on our first ever video call to making us feel such at ease on our wedding day and finally receiving the most beautiful photos and videos I've ever seen. We only received our wedding video a few days and I haven't stopped watching it. If gorgeous yet natural photos are what you're after Marcus is your guy. 11/10. Everything we wanted and more! Also he's an absolute legend!!

If I could give more than 5*s I would

Marcus captured our wedding day back in August 2024 in both pictures and video. If I could give more than 5*s I would as it was truly hands down one of the best services we have ever received. They went above and beyond from our engagement shoots, amazing correspondence, organising a big group photos during the day and the amazing quality of our wedding photos. We would really recommend making the extra little payment and asking Marcus to stay until the dancing as we have some incredible photos that will now last a lifetime. Absolutely worth every single penny from start to finish and will be contacting you again should we need professional photos. Thank you so much!!

Absolutely thrilled!

My new Wife and I are absolutely thrilled with our experience working with Marcus! From the very first meeting over Zoom, he was warm, professional, and really helped us to envision for our wedding day. He captured every moment beautifully, both the big emotional highlights and all the little candid moments we’ll cherish forever. The photos are stunning: the lighting, the composition, the attention to detail. Our family and friends keep commenting on how gorgeous they are! We received our gallery much sooner than expected, and the entire process was smooth and enjoyable. We can’t recommend Marcus enough!
