Hi i'm Mark. I am a multi-award winning wedding photographer based in the east coast seaside town of Carrickfergus in Northern Ireland and available to travel anywhere.
I have been a wedding photographer for nearly 20 years and photographed close to 800 weddings, having photographed my first wedding at 14 years of age. Fast forward the clock and being fortunate enough to have done this my entire working life, you will struggle to find anyone more passionate about weddings on this island than me!
I pour my heart and soul into every wedding or elopement I have the privilege of shooting and I want your day to be a reflection of your personalities, I am all about the craic and the banter as your wedding should be fun and a celebration in front of your closest family and friends, if that doesn't bring a party atmosphere then maybe i'm not the right fit for you, if this sounds like your day, then i'm the guy for you!
This is reflected in over 300 5* reviews that I have amassed over the years.

We had the pleasure of having Mark Barnes as our photographer for our wedding last October. From the beginning, we were drawn to Mark's incredible photography skills as showcased in his portfolio. However, it was his warm, engaging personality that made us decide he was who we wanted to capture our special day.
Mark has a remarkable ability to make everyone feel at ease. His friendly personality and sense of humor had everyone laughing, creating a relaxed atmosphere that shone through in every photo. Photography is not just a profession for him it is something he is deeply passionate about Read More and this is evident in his approach, attitude and most importantly, in his photos.
Mark provided us with our photos very quickly and when we received our wedding album we were honestly blown away. He managed to capture the emotions and atmosphere of our wedding day perfectly, preserving our memories in the most beautiful and authentic way.
We cannot recommend Mark Barnes enough to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Thanks again Mark for giving us memories we will treasure forever.

Me and my husband have absolutely loved working with Mark. From the first meeting to the wedding day all we have done is laugh with Mark which put us at ease. We did an engagement shoot a few weeks before the wedding to get used to what Mark would be looking for on the day which worked so well. Mark is such a professional and you don't have to worry about a thing. He makes you feel so comfortable and at ease. Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning and our family and bridal party are delighted with them too. Thank you so much Mark for giving us a lifetime of beautiful memories to look back
