    The best photographers to capture your big day!

    We used Marc and his team for our engagement shoot and wedding. The photos turned out beautiful and our highlight video and long video are amazing! I was skeptical about doing the videos and I am so happy I did. I watch them all the time! We were so impressed with all their hi-tech equipment and the drone footage. They really captured our wedding day from literally every angle! They made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. Thank you Marc for our beautiful priceless wedding photos and video I will cherish for life!

    Great team

    The moment I saw Taken by Marc’s work, I knew that they were the way to go for photography and videography! During our first meeting in Marc’s studio, both him and Lisa made us feel relaxed and gave us a lot of advice for the wedding planning process altogether. They took the time to learn about our cultural traditions. Securing the date was easy and efficient and oh boy was it ever a great decision.

    Lisa shot our engagement photoshoot and my bridal shower. I first wanna say that aside from her great talent in photography, she is beautiful person inside and out. She is a great person to work with, she made me feel comfortable during picture taking and knew exactly how to capture the beauty in a picture, like I’ve never seen before!!

    Lisa and the team were willing to drive 45 mins three times the day of our wedding to accommodate our requests, which speaks loudly about their quality of service.

    On the day of the wedding (July 21st, 2018), Marc and his team (Ashton, Lisa, and Phil) were a great group to work with, efficient, professional and fun all at the same time! Marc and his team did whatever it took to capture the important moments of the day. One example is that Marc held a scaffold for his video camera in the air for 28 mins during our grand entrance (his shoulders were up in the air the WHOLE time)!! That dedication speaks for itself. Lisa was incredibly dedicated during that day, as always- Never failing to capture those important moments. Ashton was lovely to work with, she even took the time to fix my hair when it was falling out. Phil was professional, reliable and a pleasure to meet.

    All in all, there is no regret with working with Taken by Marc. Would recommend them to anyone and we look forward to having them capture our future special events. Not only are they great at their job, talented but they were all great people to know! Thank you Lisa, Marc, Ashton and Phil for capturing our special day!
    Love, Mary and Sam

    Cool guy - but big ego

    Marc and Lisa started selling us at our engagement shoot and that they'd go anywhere for a fabulous pic. Complete life they MADE us do it by there house convenient for them. After telling them I'm driving 2 hours to drop off deposit. They call when I'm 10 mins away and tell me they're not home come back another time.
    The photos were not up to par for what I expected after paying over $4,000 for just their time and a cheap CD of the pics. And prices have gone up . Just save your money and find someone else

    Marc Mikhail Photography's reply:

    Hello Barb. Thank you for your negative review from your wedding which you indicate was on July 5, 2014. Left this on the back burner for a bit huh? Well I’m glad you finally came around to it. Funny thing is, we don’t know who you are. We did cover a wedding on that date but it wasn’t yours, it was Jennifer and Dan. We have no Barb on our records, not that we would have to do any digging as we know our couples well.

    We also don’t sell anyone on their engagement shoots. Anyone that has worked with us will tell you that they are complimentary to all couples who sign with us, thus no selling needed on the day of the shoot as they are already solidified as our clients. Yea.

    We also do not choose the locations as stated in our contracts. We can only suggest a location based on what our clients are looking for, and at the end of the day they let us know where.

    We also would never have anyone drive 2 hours to simply drop off a deposit, that makes no sense. We take deposits with the contracts in person or conveniently offer them remotely via email transfer. We do so much to make it as easy as possible for all our clients.

    Your campaign to write a false, bad review on a wedding you indicate was in 2014 ( a date which we actually worked for a couple that isn’t you) is a failure. If you were one of our couples, you would have provided your real name, a real date and would have talked to us since 2014, as we always make sure we get feedback from everyone in order to keep growing and improving as much as we possible can weddjng after wedding.

    Our reviews on all our platforms are fantastic and all of our real couples and the superb service we provide to them are the reason for it.

    Thank you Barb!

    Worlds Greatest Photographers & People

    We instantly fell in love with Marc and Lisa! They are so amazing in every way from their personalities to the amazing hard work they do! They take the time to truly get to know you and your family! They made our wedding day so magical and easy going. Their work is flawless and beautiful! At the end of the night they not only came up and hugged and thanked my husband and I but they went around and hugged those who meant the world to us, I don’t know many photographers who would do that except for Marc and Lisa because they truly care about their clients. I highly recommend them for any special event you and your family are having and I can’t wait to work with them again!

    Sincerely

    Kimberly & Quinn Berry

    Marc and Lisa were absolutely unreal! Right from the start that we had booked them as our Wedding photographers they were always at our disposal if we wanted to bounce ideas off of them. Marc and Lisa make you feel comfortable and due there best to make it a stress free and actually fun experience. On the day of the wedding and at dinner, it honestly felt like they were friends that we invited to our wedding and were taking photos. We have seen teasers from the day of and had our engagement photos done with them and absolutely love them. Furthermore, unfortunately a few months after the wedding I lost my grandfather and I contacted Marc and Lisa to see about obtaining some photos that may have been taken with my grandfather and they were absolutely amazing, they put the group of photos they had and put them on a disc immediately and gave them to me so I could have them for the wake and funeral.

    Sam and I honestly can't put into words how pleased we are with everything they provided for us! To work with people who clearly love what they do is an amazing experience and recommend them to everyone!

    What can we say, with all the stress and headaches that come along with planning a wedding, Marc and Lisa not only made the day easy but fun! Both arrived on time and ready to shot with no hiccups. From start to finish Marc and Lisa did not put the camera down! So be sure to smile at every moment :). Both with great professional attitudes and very reasonable packages to meet all your needs! Not only did we make a new set of friends but shared our special day with great people that enjoyed being there every step of the way! We would like to thank you Marc and Lisa for everything from that day and can’t wait to share more special events with you guys!

    Love,
    Daniel & Linda

    Marc is absolutely amazing! He is very professional and created such a good rapport with our wedding party, family and guests! We had a lot of fun with him and his side kick Lisa! Marc took the photos while Lisa made sure my dress, hair and pose was just right! What an amazing duo! We expected great things from him but when we got our sneak peek, it was more then we ever expected! We are so glad Marc and Lisa documented our day!
