Kamal and I started planning our wedding a year before the date. Everyone advised that photography ranked as one of the most important aspects of the wedding and was not to be compromised in any way. So the search began to find a photographer that would do the job. I remember my first telephonic conversation with Mark; he came across as warm humble and honest.

He sat with Kamal and I and listened to our requirements. On that Saturday morning in my jeans and t-shirt, Mark instantly made me feel like a bride. We left - secretly our minds were made up and we were on a high!

Being our first visit to a photographer, Mark had set a standard that other photographers had to meet.

We proceeded to meet 2 other photographers, but none invoked any emotion in us. Our thoughts always drifted back to Marks work. And so we sealed the deal and the wait began for our wedding day.

The 14 June arrived at the blink of an eye. I felt like a goddess and a queen and was waiting anxiously to walk down the isle to meet my soul mate. Mark made me feel like the most beautiful women on this planet. The day whizzed past us. Everything went off smoothly and we had a blast!

Mark Hoinkes is a photographing Genius! He captured our wedding day from start to finish with complete and utmost professionalism.

The photos depicted the love and joy our families felt for each other and for us. The photos invoked emotions in us that were hair raising. It re-iterated our love for each other. He captured the sanctity of our wedding vows and showed exactly how we all felt on the day. Having only an hour an a half of sleep that day, I was using all my energy reserves at our private photo shoot after the wedding. The photos made no mention of this. We looked serene and calm, we looked happy and intoxicated with love. We looked mischievous and sultry. Mark turned our wedding day into a mystical magical day. We are elated with the photographs. Our family and friends are speechless and it’s all thanks to Mark.

Thank you Mark, for exceeding our expectations, raising the bar and making our wedding day the most memorable.

You have a gift and a passion for your work and this is clearly depicted.

Love Kamal and Verosha Manilal

I honestly don’t know how to thank you for all that you did-from the fetching and carrying of Ron the minister, to making the photo shoot such a pleasant and easy process! Martin & I really appreciate it all. We had the best night of our lives, and I hope that you enjoyed it too.

I just wanted to say mega major thanks for making our moment in time so memorable! (How`s that for alliteration?) I`m quite self conscious about my weight and most of the shots don`t reflect that at all. They are a wonderful treasure.
