As a dedicated Cambridgeshire wedding photographer, I’ve had the pleasure of documenting countless ‘I do’s’ across our stunning county. From Cambridge’s colleges to the rustic countryside barns and farms, each wedding is unique and special. Here’s why many couples choose me to capture their wedding day for them:
I believe some of the best photographs come from those unplanned, spontaneous moments. My approach is all about capturing you and your guests in a natural and relaxed manner. Forget stiff poses and forced smiles – it’s the genuine emotions that tell the real story. We will of course ensure theres some beautiful posed shots of you and your guests too.
On your wedding day, the last thing you want is a photographer who disrupts the flow of events. I pride myself on being as unobtrusive as possible, blending into the background while capturing all the important moments. Many couples say they hardly noticed my presence at all (in a good way, I promise!)!
It’s often the little things that mean the most. From the intricate lace on your wedding dress to the tears in your partner’s eyes, I make sure no detail is overlooked. These are the moments you’ll want to remember, and my job is to capture them beautifully.
On the day itself, I’ll arrive to capture the excitement of the preparations. From morning jitters to evening celebrations, I’ll be there for all of it. My goal is to document the day as it naturally unfolds, creating a comprehensive story through your meticulously edited gallery.
The silent operation of my cameras means that there are no distracting clicks during the ceremony, allowing everyone to feel comfortable and at ease, while I blend in like a friendly guest. During short photo sessions throughout the day, I will capture images in various locations at your chosen venue, all while ensuring that you can fully enjoy celebrating with your friends and family by making the sessions quick, fun & stress free!
There’s nothing like the excitement of morning preparations. Whether it’s makeup artists at work, the groom and his groomsmen having fun and beers, or those quiet moments of anticipation, I’ll capture it all discreetly.
Your ceremony is the heart of the day, and it deserves to be captured with sensitivity and respect. I’ll ensure I’m in the right place at the right time without being intrusive, so you can focus on each other and the ceremony.
From the speeches that make everyone laugh (and cry) to the cutting of the cake and the first dance, the reception is packed with moments that deserve to be remembered.
Family & friend group shots can be of utmost priority for some, while for others, it can be like herding cats! Don’t worry… I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve to make sure your images are captured quickly and beautifully, with minimal stress.
I love to take my couples for short shoots during the day so it never gets overwhelming and you can spend more time with your guests having fun. I’ll always have a few ideas in mind for your chosen venue and lighting. We may go for a few shoots in different locations to keep things fun and interesting.
Cake cutting & first dance This is often the point where you can fully let your hair down and bust a few moves! My photography journey started in nightclubs, and I bring that experience to freezing the action on the dance floor, capturing your first dance beautifully and the emotional moments with family members, as well as the usual wildness.
You will typically receive over 500+ edited photos, each in both color and black and white. This gives you the flexibility to choose your favourite images for albums or framing. Your images are also securely stored as a backup for 5 years post-ceremony, providing peace of mind in case of any unforeseen technology mishaps. I’ll also send you a sneak peek of a selection of my favourite photos within 48 hours after your wedding ceremony.
Cambridgeshire is brimming with stunning locations that provide the perfect backdrop for your wedding photos.
I also work across a wider area than just Cambridgeshire, covering Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire, Hertfordshire and further afield. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me – I have also included an FAQs section at the bottom of this page for your convenience.
Being a part of your wedding day is a true privilege. I am fully committed to providing only the best, most exquisite images, while ensuring you’re relaxed and enjoying the day as it unfolds. With over 10 years of experience as a wedding photographer in Cambridgeshire, I am truly honored by the trust my couples place in me to capture one of the most important days of their lives. It is a privilege to be a part of your special day, and I am dedicated to creating lasting memories that you will cherish for a lifetime.
Thank you for considering Mark Holmes Photography. Remember, your wedding day will whiz by in a blur of happiness and champagne. My job is to freeze those precious moments in time so you can relive the magic for years to come.
Every wedding day is slightly different. The more I can find out about your wedding before booking, helps me tailor to your your needs and capture everything you’re hoping for and more. The following benefits come with every package you book with me. If you are looking for something a little more bespoke, just let me know.
I recommend booking as early as possible to ensure your date is available. Popular dates can fill up quickly, especially during peak wedding season.
Great question! As much as I'd love to, I can't be in two places at once. However, I've got some fantastic solutions to ensure we capture every aspect of your special day:
For larger weddings or when you want coverage of multiple locations simultaneously (both parties preparations a distance from each other etc), I can absolutely arrange a skilled second photographer for you. I work with a trusted network of professionals who share my approach to wedding photography. I'll personally edit all the images they provide too, to ensure a cohesive look with my signature style.
While my focus is on still photography, I understand the desire to have video memories as well. Here's how I can help:
If you're interested in either a second photographer or videography services, let's discuss your specific needs during our consultation. I'll try and help you find the perfect solution to ensure every moment of your day is beautifully captured.
You can expect to receive around 500+ edited images from your wedding day. Each one will be carefully curated and edited to ensure it’s of the highest quality. You'll also receive a black and white edit of every image too.
Your stunning photos will be ready and waiting for you in a lovely, secure online gallery. It's dead easy to access, and you can browse through them at your leisure. Most couples like to download their favourites and pop them onto a USB stick or their computer for safekeeping. If you're a bit stuck on where to store them or need a hand picking out a quality, personalised USB, just give me a shout - I'm more than happy to point you in the right direction. There's a fair few options out there, so it can be a bit of a minefield! After all, these are your precious memories, and we want to make sure they're tucked away safely for years to come!
I know some photographers bundle these in, but I do things a bit differently - and for good reason!
First off, I'm more than happy to pass on my trade prices and make suggestions if you fancy getting some prints or a swanky wedding album. But here's the thing: I don't include them in my packages. Why's that, you might ask?
Well, for starters, most couples like to take their time picking their favourite snaps and building their wedding books over the following months (or even years!). It's not something you want to rush, is it? You might spot a photo that becomes your absolute favourite six months down the line!
Secondly, I put all my energy into providing you with top-notch digital images. That way, you've got the freedom to do whatever you fancy with them - whether that's printing them on mugs for your gran or placing them all over your living room walls.
Lastly, let's be honest - most 'bundled' books are either a bit naff quality-wise or they'll cost you an arm and a leg. I'd rather you have the choice to get exactly what you want, when you want it, without any pressure.
So there you have it! Your memories, your choices, and my full support (and special pricing!) whenever you need it. If you ever want to chat about printing options or book designs, I'm always here to help you make the most of your gorgeous wedding photos!
No worries at all! I’m experienced in dealing with all sorts of weather conditions. We'll still capture beautiful photos indoors or under cover, and sometimes a bit of rain can add a magical touch to your images.
Absolutely! Although I’m based in Cambridgeshire, I’m happy to travel to different locations for weddings. Let's chat about your plans and see how we can make it work!
Investing in professional wedding photography ensures irreplaceable moments are flawlessly captured as everlasting memories. With a dedicated photographer, you can fully immerse yourself in your celebration while I discreetly document every precious moment using silent cameras for minimal disruption.
I'll be with you throughout your day, capturing moments from start to finish for as long as you need. We'll do short mini-shoots for couple, group, and full wedding party photos to minimise disruption and maximise enjoyment.
Typically within 4-6 weeks, you'll receive over 500 edited photos, plus black-and-white versions of each, capturing your day beautifully.

In the unlikely event, I have a network of skilled photographers who can step in seamlessly, ensuring your day is captured without worry.

Yes, every image is edited in my signature style to highlight your best moments and ensure a cohesive collection that tells your story beautifully.
