Hey! I’m Mark

My photography story…

My first introduction into the creative world was through music. Ever since I was in high school, I fully believed that I was meant to be a full time musician. I was introduced to photography in my last semester of high school and never quite expected to fall in love with it. After my first year of college, I was introduced to the music industry. I completely changed my mind about pursuing a music profession after experiencing the rigidity of this industry. I also came to the realization that if I was passionate about something, I should not be scared to fully go at it.

After this shift from the music industry, I remember photography was on my mind and I felt I had the confidence to go for it full-time. I remember I shot my first wedding back in 2016. I was able to shoot this wedding with a photo-journalistic approach, which made me feel like I had creative space and independence to authentically capture their love story. Photography allows you to capture a story as it unfolds. As you look back at them, you get to relive and experience that moment. For every photoshoot, my goal  is for you to look back at the photos and see the real you and to continue to relive those captured moments for years to come.

A little more about me…

Outside of  photography I love to adventure out in the outdoors, work on cars(specifically my 4x4) and well, make music here and there. Above all that, I love living life for the rugged man who gave his life for me, Jesus Christ. There are no words that can contain the truth of where I am in life or how I could have overcome anything in my life if it wasn’t for what he did. I live for God, and I’m sure not perfect at it, but he guides me through and will always guide me till the very end.

Curious to know more???

I put together a FAQ to talk more about my approach and maybe anything else you’d be curious to know more about. 

 FAQs

  • Prices vary from what you are looking for. Primarily for wedding rates start at $7250 and elopement/intimate weddings rates start at $2500. If you are looking for more info feel free to fill out a contact form and I can send out the full price guide.

  • I prioritize capturing the story as it unfolds. In other words, I like to keep things easy going and not make anyone do something they won’t want to do. My main goal is for you to experience your big day as it should be and when you see your photos you see your true self rather than what I as a photographer made it to be.

  • Yes! I started in 2016 and been a full time wedding photographer since 2018. I’ve had the great privilege working at over 150 weddings since then.

  • Yep, you can find them here.

  • I love them! I think those simple and basic “looking at the camera” group photos are ones you would definitely cherish more throughout the years. Definitely won’t want you to hold back on the opportunity for those moments.

  • I don’t offer any video services but I would be happy to recommend plenty of great videographers if needed.

  • Yep, I would be happy to travel anywhere from domestic to international and I would be happy to work with you to make sure traveling is not too expensive.

  • We usually first have a consultation meeting via video chat. From there if you are ready to move forward I send out an invoice link with a 20% retainer fee to officially book everything for the date.

  • Yes, I personally edit and retouch all the photos.

  • Definitely yes! I prioritize digital images for sure and when I color correct them I base them off of film colors. The amount of film I use on a typical wedding day is about 2-3 rolls and that is already included in the pricing. If you are interested in having a full day coverage with film, we can definitely chat about what the pricing would look like for that.

  • Hi res jpeg images that I carefully select, color correct and retouch myself. You also have the option to make some photos private before sharing the link with any friends and family. For prints, you also have full rights to print wherever you would like but I would highly recommend using the print labs I usually work with and you can find them in the online gallery portal.

  • I’m very easy going and like to be attentive for any questions you may have. I’m a huge advocate at working in weddings with a planner/coordinator and definitely believe that’s a nonnegotiable for sure. I understand wedding planning is stressful and never want to walk on anybody’s toes at anytime. So my main thing that I prioritize is being a team player and make sure everybody is happy.

    Mark photographed our intimate family wedding and we loved working with him! He was chill, professional and captured some really beautiful moments for us.

    Before the ceremony he met us at the location to understand the space - I really like this, it felt we were just ready to go day of.

    We’ve since recommended Mark to our friends who’ve also used him for their wedding!

    We loved working with Mark

    We had such a fabulous experience with Mark! I knew we needed someone low key to make us feel comfortable but talented and professional to deliver us some quality photos. And boy did he deliver! We had both our engagement and wedding covered by Mark and we could not have been happier. He always made us feel comfortable and at ease and I really believe that is why we got such natural and effortless photos. No cheesy poses here. Just real moments that we are blessed to have forever. THANK YOU MARK :)

    Hire Mark Tuzman. It will be the best vendor decision you make of your entire wedding.

    His calm, kind and professional demeanor throughout the day put us at ease - something that really shows in how authentic our photos feel.

    He is an artist that captured not only our love, but the warmth of all of our loved ones around us.

    Thank you Mark!

  • Breah and Jason

    Mark Tuzman did a beautiful job giving us timeless photos of our wedding day! It was suppose to be clear skies, and instead, we got rain all morning long. Tuzman found a way to get TONS of photos all throughout the day. He did so in a way that I barely noticed he was there- I could focus on my new husband, knowing he had it all under control. He delivered them in a timely manner and surprised us with pictures we didn’t even know he was taking! From getting ready in the morning to partying into the night, I couldn’t have asked for more perfect photos.

    Thanks Tuzman!

    An absolute gem. We chose him for his mix of digital and film, and photojournalistic style. His talents shined through on the day of and in the end result. On top of that, he was wonderful to work with. He captured a mix of traditional family photos and artistic candid photos. All guests who saw the photos said what a wonderful photographer we chose. If capturing real and authentic memories is what you're looking to do for your wedding, choose Mark.
