Mark was hands down the best money spent at our entire wedding! My husband and I got married in Imperial Valley and found Mark through The Knot. After having a few phone calls with him, it was clear he had the vision and organization we were looking for. When we met him on the day of our wedding, we were not disappointed. In fact, Mark went above and beyond all of our expectations.

He arrived several hours earlier than our coverage began to scout out locations to take the best photos. He had a clear timeline with alarms set on his phone to stay on-track. In many ways he was more organized and helpful than our own wedding coordinator. The end result was breathtaking photos that are unique and capture us as a couple perfectly. It is clear Mark is a seasoned veteran wedding photographer, and we would definitely recommend him! Thank you Mark for capturing our special day!

Mark did a wonderful job with our wedding pictures. Our day was beautifully captured. Would highly recommend him. You get an extra perk with his photo timeline too. He has done so many weddings he gave us great tips we hadn't even thought about.

Mark was exceedingly helpful, professional and detailed, from our first meeting, until the delivery of our wedding photos. He made it so much easier for the both of us by coordinating the entire wedding timeline and took some amazing photos, of areas and in poses that I would have never thought of, as well as excellent candid photos. Would absolutely work with again and encourage anyone reading this to do so yourself, you will not be disappointed.

Never did I realize the importance of timing on photography during a wedding until I met Mark. He has an extreme passion to give you the very best photography he possibly can and will lay everything out, but he is also compassionate about how you feel and will work with you to ensure the timeline works for everyone. He gave an extremely detailed timeline, where to be, when and I couldn't be happier with the results of our photography.

He kept AMAZING communication throughout the entire process, provided us a ton of photos (nearly 800 photos, and of those 800 I would say there were two photos that were 9/10 and the remaining photos 10/10.)

We chose Unveiled for our 2/3/21 wedding and we are so glad we did! Mark was amazing to work with from the first call with him all the way through delivery of our wedding pictures. He was incredibly detailed, caring, funny and patient during our consultation as well as during the rest of the process. Mark's expertise in laying everything out made our day so easy and seamless.

He also provided some great tips to ensure the best pictures possible. He was a pleasure to work with before, during and after the wedding. We couldn't be happier with our wedding photos. Thank you, Mark & team!

Selecting Unveiled Wedding Photography has been the second best decision ever (best decision was getting married). We had Paul and Val handle the photography, and Mark helped coordinate the timeline as well the business side of everything else. The final product has been beyond expectations, and we felt that this has been worth every penny. Paul and Val worked very hard to capture our precious moments, and we are thankful with the editing and post production of the pictures. Paul took initiative and was very calculated in respect to time and position of all photos.

His vision and professionalism in being a photographer is a gift, and I am more than glad to be able to share the blessings we had with his work and Val's. Please look no further and look at the accolades of Unveiled Wedding Photography.each award is more than well deserved. TOP NOTCH!

We did not end up choosing Mark for our wedding photographer, but we had such a great experience that we wanted to share our appreciation for Mark. Mark was nothing short of professional, technically capable, and dedicated even before we were his clients. He answered promptly, with specific details addressing all of our concerns. His photo albums were gorgeous, heartfelt, and you could feel the emotion and story in the photos.

He went above and beyond our expectations in customer service and responsiveness, and we would not hesitate to choose him as a photographer in the future. A main concern of ours was low light photography, and Mark created a custom album for us to showcase his low light work. No other photographer we spoke to went to this level of commitment and responsiveness to address our concerns, and his specific questions back demonstrated his technical proficiency with photography.

Mark was honest and authentic, his responses were complete, and his photographic capability was clear. In the end, other outside factors completely unrelated to photography swung our decision in another direction. But if photography alone was the only factor, we would have chosen Mark, and we think anyone would be well-served by having him as a wedding photographer. Thank you Mark for working with us, and we wish you the best!

We were so happy with our wedding photos in 2014 that we drove from Arizona to have Mark take our family photos. Definitely worth it! If you're looking for a personable & professional photographer to take great photos, look no further!

We are so happy with our engagement photos! Upon our initial contact up until the end of the shoot, Mark was very responsive and very flexible. We wanted pictures on the beach and he was very knowledgeable about timing of the sunset and the tides. We added another challenge to the shoot- our large and energetic one year old puppy, and Mark was very patient and skillfully included him in our shots.

We received our photos shortly after and I couldn't stop looking at them! The sunset photos were incredible and I love all of the candid shots that he took. The emotion he capture in the photos was irreplaceable. Mark, thank you so much! We are so happy to have these memories and so happy we were able to include our big furry baby :o

Working with Mark and Unveiled for our wedding was literally the best decision we made when planning. Our original photographers fell through, and we reached out to Mark in the hopes he could salvage the day. What he ended up doing was so far and beyond that, I honestly can't thank or recommend him enough. From the get go, he was incredibly responsive.

Every time we emailed him, he responded within about a day. The amount of experience he has is apparent in the work he does. He basically helped lay out the day of timeline, set and posed every scene, and made us feel incredibly comfortable. We literally met him the day of our wedding (again, it was a very last minute fill in) and immediately felt comfortable around him.

Him and his team captured literally hundreds of shots, all of which are fantastic. Our venue itself was a difficult shoot with the lighting, and they totally nailed it. They brought all the necessary equipment and set up/torn down ASAP so every shot could be captured appropriately. All our guests commented on how on top of it Mark was. In various moments he would shoot us, and whip around to get our guests' reactions all within a couple of seconds. Mark promised and delivered excellent quality work, and was respectful during the whole process. HIGHLY recommend!

Three things stand out about Mark Hillis, owner of Unveiled Wedding Photography. 1. His product is of the highest caliber, as anyone who goes to his website can see. In that regard, he had wonderful ideas for special shots that he planned out in advance so he could lead us to the locations and poses with little time away from our guests. 2. His attention to detail was very helpful in the end, and we saw it all through the process in his communications, planning advice, and pre-wedding preparations. 3.

Mark is a warm and caring person. Mark and his assistant were never "in the way" and they had a fair amount of equipment to deal with. The way Mark worked at our wedding was like having a dear friend there.

I can't say enough good things about Unveiled Wedding Photography. Mark was our wedding photographer 6 years ago and we had a fabulous experience working with him. He was easy to work with, reliable, professional, creative, and has a great eye for detail. We loved our wedding pictures! Six years later I was excited to see that Mark also does family photography.

He did a mini session with my husband and two young kids and me. Photography sessions with little kids can be challenging but the pictures captured their smiles and personality. I'm so glad a found a go-to photographer for future family photo sessions. I highly recommend using Unveiled Wedding Photography for your wedding or other photography needs. Thank you Mark.

Incredibly professional, attentive and just a pleasure to work with. Mark made me feel very comfortable through the whole process of getting my business pictures done. He explained everything to me when we set up the appointment and the time frame he suggested was spot on. This was very important to me because I was not able to take appointments during the time he was do the photo shoot, so I needed an accurate time I would be back open.

He really knows his stuff! I regularly recommend him to clients for wedding photos and for business pics like I needed. And if I every get divorced, I'll know who to call for my next wedding!

Definitely recommend Mark for wedding photography. He is detailed, attentive, and definitely knows what he's doing. You can tell he's been doing this for a long time. He helped create the timeline for our wedding which was super helpful, since I had no idea what I was doing. Mark will do what he needs to do to get the perfect shot. We also got our pictures a lot sooner than expected, which was a pleasant surprise! Thank you Mark for taking beautiful photographs of our wedding day!

I've never been big on reviews. I usually write thank you notes but If I can help one bride that is on the fence then it's all worth it! I got married 3 months ago and my husband and I decided to go with unveiled photography and thank God we did! Mark was sooooooo helpful throughout the whole process. He is very detailed and I can't tell you how many people from my wedding said that they've never seen a photographer work so hard.

My pictures are absolutely beautiful, I am just thrilled with them. He even captured one of my dad and I before I walked down the aisle that I will cherish forever! Unveiled is the real deal folks!

It was so hard to choose a photographer. When I met Mark I knew he was the one that I wanted for my big day. He took the time to meet with me in person to go over all my questions that I had. He was so knowledgeable and he is dedicated to making your pictures look absolutely amazing! My pictures turned out amazing! He is affordable as well! He even does a timeline for your big day, so everything can run smoothly without having any stress! I would highly recommend unveiled photography for your wedding day. You will regret it if you don't go with them!

Unveiled Wedding Photography This is the Photographer you are looking for! I contacted several photographers, and after letting them know I had a budget and it was going to be a Star Wars wedding. most seemed to be 'ok' with the idea of a Star Wars wedding, but not willing to work with me on my budget. Mark took the time to talk to me, he explained what he could do -which was nice after hearing what all the others couldn't do.

He said he had just the guy to shoot my wedding, Paul. Mark and I had several conversations, he is extremely knowledgeable about the flow/timeline of a wedding. We agreed on a price, and he sent out the contract and asked for me to come up with a photo list-all the pics you want to make sure they get. Mine was REALLY long, he was extremely patient and professional and we worked on getting it down to something they could actual manage in the time they had.

Cut to the day of the wedding, all that detail and planning flew out of my head, but Paul and his asst Ghia took over! Ghia was reassuring and calming, AND was able to make sure we were getting in all those pics I wanted. And then there's Paul, wow! First of all, he is professional, kind, and has a really great eye! If he asks for your shoes, your bouquet or your rings. just hand them over! He took the most amazing pics and really captured the love and joy of the day! Ghia, Paul and Mark were the photographers I was looking for! I highly recommend them!

I've had the pleasure of working with Mark of Unveiled Wedding Photography and can't say enough good things about his process and professionalism. The two recent times I've worked with him has been effortless. Capturing many 'moments' with my family can be easily seen in his end results and can't be taken for granted.

He puts extra time into scoping out the site of the shoots to make sure the many photo combinations are in peak form. He's incredibly personable and very easy to work with which is why you too should call him for your next big moment!

I had a great experience working with Mark and Stacy, I used their service for a new born session and they worked miracles! My baby was not having it that day and cried and fussed almost the entire session, but Mark and Stacy were so kind and patient and I am still impressed by the fact that they were able to capture such beautiful moments and pictures. I highly recommend their services.

The name may be Unveiled Wedding Photography, but they certainly do more than just weddings. A group I belong to discovered that we needed a photographer for a regular event we were having. One of the members had such a positive experience working with Mark and Stacy that we decided to give them a try. Talking with Mark about what we wanted was easy as he was very friendly and upbeat.

After discussing the event and viewing sample pictures of their work, we decided to move forward. Especially after viewing some of his other event, family, and product photography it was clear that it was a good choice. Previously I had only had bad experiences with photographers, but working with Unveiled only showed me what my previous experiences should have been like.

I can say with confidence that when I have my next professional family photos taken, Mark and Unveiled will be at the top of my list. Mark worked with us to make sure he had a thorough understanding of the venue, what kind of pictures we were hoping to obtain, lighting, and time frame. The days the event takes place Unveiled always shows up promptly when they say they will and they have proved to be very reliable.

They definitely went the extra mile to make sure all of us involved with the event are very happy with the finished images. The pictures were delivered when they said they would be and more than met our expectations. Truly it is a pleasure to work with a customer oriented professional. I was extremely satisfied with the work Unveiled did and we plan to have had them back for additional events as a result.

Mark was so thorough, professional, and detail oriented it really made our wedding go smoothly! I truly enjoyed working with him. He was always very responsive and helpful through email and phone calls and totally put us at ease with any questions we had. On the day of, he was on time and completely prepared. I really appreciated that he was able to give direction and get the pictures we wanted within the time frame we had. At the ceremony I didn't even notice him, but wherever he was he was able to get some AMAZING photos! I highly recommend Mark and Unveiled Photography.

Now that we have the album in hand, I wanted to share our experience with Mark and Unveiled Wedding Photography. Throughout our wedding day, he was a problem to work with. He was super pushy and not cooperative. For example, we asked him to make rounds with us and take images at each table. He exclaimed, "that was not listed in the pose list." Our understanding was that the pose list was for the family portraits following the ceremony.

As a result we weren't able to capture images of many of our guests. His lack of willingness to work in cooperation with the videographer became a problem - As a result shots were missed and also the videographer was in images that a simple request could have removed them. So many guests remarked what a pushy jerk he was. We received a beautifully done photo album with mediocre images. A bit of tarnish on a beautiful day. We don't recommend.

Mark and the team at Unveiled were absolutely incredible! From the start we were one hundred percent confident in Mark due to his professionalism, honesty, and amazing portfolio. The last few days before our wedding we were forced to come up with a rain plan and Mark was great at coming up with alternate locations and laying out all the potential options. Fortunately, the rain cleared and we didn't need the back-up plan but I was completely confident with Mark and his team.

Most importantly, the photos are AMAZING! We received the photos much, much faster than expected after the wedding and we couldn't be happier with the quality of Mark's work. We took first look, bridal party, and immediate family photos in a hotel garden and Mark was able to make it seem like we were in a secluded tropical paradise! No buildings were visible and his ability to create the perfect lighting is unsurpassed.

The photos from the ceremony and reception truly capture the essence of our wedding and allowed me to completely relive the day. If you value photography at all, you just must choose Mark and Unveiled Wedding Photography! His photos are keepsakes and you will not be disappointed. Photography was our top priority for our big day (besides actually getting married!) and Unveiled was absolutely the best choice!
