Magical Moments Captured: A Breathtaking Experience with The Lightbox

We had the pleasure of working with our incredible photographers, Mark and Mike from The Lightbox, for both our engagement and wedding, and we couldn't be more thrilled with our experience. From our very first meeting, it was clear that they were larger-than-life individuals, brimming with passion and dedication to their craft.

Their warmth and enthusiasm made us feel completely at ease, allowing our genuine emotions to shine through in every breathtaking shot. They took the time to understand our vision, capturing not just moments but the magical essence of our love story. Every photograph is a testament to their meticulous attention to detail and artistic flair.

On our wedding day, they seamlessly collaborated with all our vendors, creating a harmonious atmosphere that allowed everything to flow effortlessly. Their ability to blend into the day made it feel natural and unforced while ensuring that each heartfelt moment was beautifully captured.

The result? A stunning collection of images that we will cherish for a lifetime. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking not just photographers, but true artists who pour their heart and soul into their work. Thank you, Mark and Mike, for capturing our special moments and turning them into timeless memories! ✨

Would Get Married Again

An experience we wouldn't forget - we would get married again just to take wedding photos with Mark and Mike. From the engagement to the wedding shoot, they both arrived early to scope out the area to ensure that we got enough photos during the slotted times and are extremely professional.

We had both our dogs in our photos and they were both extremely patience with the pups getting into position. We had our engagement shoot sometime April by the lake and with Canadian weather, you never know when it's raining, sunny or snowing. Mark was kind enough to bring jackets for me incase I got really cold during the shoot.

I would definitely recommend them to everyone.

The best service and the best people

We were really impressed with the professionalism, quality of photos and speed of service provided by Mike and Mark. They provided us with photo "previews" just one week after our wedding allowing us to relive the special day right away. The final photos were also delivered within a couple weeks and we are so happy with the results! Mike and Mark were also really easy to work with making sure we felt comfortable beings ourselves infront of the camera. I am so glad to say that we not only got the best photographers for our wedding but we've also gained two new friends. You will not regret booking them!

Engagement & Wedding Photos of Our Dreams!

My husband and I are so so happy with how our engagement and small wedding photos turned out! We first heard about the Light Box through at our friend's wedding and loved the light and bright feel of their work on Instagram! We worked with Mark, who is so so great!! He not only helped us bring our vision into life by using our inspiration photos, but he brought his own creativity into the mix! The after ceremony photos with a city feel was his idea and they ended up being some of our favourite photos! He made the whole experience fun and helped direct us as this was our first shoot with a professional photographer. They are truly a 10/10 and we are looking forward to working with them in the future! Thank you to the Light Box!

Incredible Photos and Amazing Experience

We definitely recommend booking The Light Box. From inquiring with them, to planning for the day and during the wedding they were super responsive and helpful. They are very easy to work with and incorporated our detailed plan flawlessly. Neither my husband nor I are very comfortable being in front of the camera but Mark and Mike are so friendly and made us feel at ease the entire time. We ended up running on a tight schedule for photos but they were very quick to think of great photo ideas, got our schedule back on track in a short period of time and still managed to get so many amazing photos. They are very talented and professional and they were also incredibly quick at getting the photos back! We also love our personalized box, it is a wonderful keepsake. It was pleasure working with Mark and Mike and we are so happy with our decision to book with them!

Amazing photographers and humans!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Mike and Mark photograph our engagement shoot and wedding day. They are both wonderful people and wonderful photographers. My husband and I feel like we can be somewhat awkward in photos, but Mike and Mark guided us through everything and our pictures turned out incredible. They were incredibly responsive, friendly, professional, and are extremely talented photographers. We also got our wedding pictures back unbelievably fast which was such a wonderful surprise! We now have many beautiful photos to look back on and remember our day. Thank you for everything Mike & Mark!

Highly-recommend! Easy to work with, professionals, and AMAZING photos!

My husband and I are both camera shy and prefer to be behind the camera, so we had hesitations getting a wedding photographer. But, meeting Mark and Mike truly put our anxieties at ease. They listened and understood our worries and reassured us every step of the way. They accommodated all of our special requests of staying discreet especially during the ceremony as we wanted to keep the ceremony really solemn and not distracting for both of us. Mark and Mike did exactly that and more! They are such professionals and know exactly what they're doing! Their instructions were easy to follow and were very patient with us whenever we feel awkward and just laugh randomly during the shoot. They respond fast and with a lot of details to all our inquiries. The photos turned out AMAZING of course, and I highly recommend getting the special box of photos! It's such a nice touch and a wonderful surprise to get in the mail weeks after the wedding is done. My husband and I had a special moment just reminiscing the most beautiful day of our lives. Thank you, Mike and Mark, for being our photographers that day and for being so easy to work with, understanding, and patient with everything! Ron and I wish you more success in your business! May God bless you both with every good thing in life! :)

Incredible photographer

Mark is absolutely incredible to work with. He was generous with his time, took the most amazing pictures for our engagement shoot and we appreciated that he was willing to work with us on our vision. Mark’s talent, experience and unique style sets him apart from the rest and not one picture was mediocre. Post-shoot, we still find ourselves looking back and enjoying the whole album he made for us, over and over again. We are so glad we made this investment and very thankful we chose Mark! If you’re looking for quality pictures, choose him and you won’t be disappointed.
