“Your wedding day isn’t about your photos. Your wedding photos are supposed to be all about your special day! Capturing your memories that are candid, authentic, and emotional; that’s what I do and what speaks to my heart. That’s how I see through my camera” — Mark

praise
“If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding or engagement shoot, trust me, the search is over! Look no further than Mark!
Mark was an absolute joy to work with through the entirety of our wedding process. He is really easy to work with, provides prompt and clear communication, and is an EXCELLENT artist! His keen understanding of light and eye for the beauty in candid moments truly put him on a different caliber. You and your partner and your wedding parties are guaranteed to feel like the most interesting and photogenic people in the world while working with him!! We had a blast with him on our engagement shoot and wedding day. We always knew that we could trust his eye and expect a high quality capture of all of the memories of the big day.
He paid incredible attention to detail and showed up early to our shoots to scout the location and find the best shots. He took a variety of the “traditional” photos that you would expect from an engagement shoot and at the wedding, but also took additional care in capturing artsier shots that were unexpected and very cool. He’s a wonderful director and the combination of his great ideas with his kind and easygoing attitude immediately puts everyone at ease. By the end of the shoot we were literally running around and jumping and laughing a bunch. Shooting with Mark is just plain fun…”

Kyler Gavre & Amber Loy | Wedding | Tucson, Arizona
“From the beginning to end, from meeting Mark to the photo shoot’s completion, every step has been wonderful. He has an effortless charm that has made it so easy to be comfortable in front of the camera, and so easy to communicate what we were looking for in our final images-and they were far more beautiful than anything we could have imagined. These images, these memories, we’ll cherish the rest of our loves. Mark made that possible. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough, there isn’t anyone we would rather have behind the camera”
Heather Baxter | Engagement | Cape Elizabeth, Maine
“I wanted to reach out and let you know how much we love the photo album you put together for Heather & Will. Photo album really isn’t the right term. I’ve taken to calling it “The Book”. What an incredible gift you have and what an incredible gift you have shared with us! I just spent an hour with my parents pouring over all the pictures and quotes with them. They admired every image and when they’d finished it was as though they had been with us that day. I really can’t thank you enough for taking part in that magical day”

q&a
-
Mark: I would describe “Documentary Wedding Photography” as photography that has roots based in elements of photojournalism. My work consists heavily on the capturing of candid, and spontaneous moments during weddings that more reflect the authentic happenings of a wedding day. In order to capture these unique moments of time I do my very best to place myself in and around activities to increase my odds of creating specific photos within the artistic frame of my camera. Is this challenging? Yes, very much so, however I love the challenges of chasing these fractional moments in time and later have the ability to share them with my clients. I have a very fast eye and this gives me the ability to capture things unfolding before me in ways that help tell the story of my clients wedding day. Every couple and wedding day is different and what happens during weddings is as unique as our fingerprints. The photos I capture and create then provide incredible visual stories when strategically worked into my beautiful wedding photo books. This is the core of my business and my personal passion within photography.
-
Mark: I shoot with Sony professional high resolution, mirrorless cameras (for you camera junkies I use the Sony a9 and the Sony a7rIII(V2), the highest quality Sony and Sigma professional lenses and specialty studio lighting. I prefer to shoot with high quality, fixed focal length, prime lenses, which provide me more control of my light, depth of field, and sharpness. High quality imagery for me, my clients and my overall brand and is extremely important to me so I choose to shoot and work with the very best tools available to me.
-
Mark: No, retainers are non-refundable however, if the wedding date is moved to another day due to unforeseen weather or incident outside of the control I will always offer a credit towards another date good for 365 days from your original contracted wedding day. There is no guarantee I won’t be retained by another client for other dates in the future, however I will always work with all of my clients to capture their special day!
-
Mark: Yes, the contract can be amended to add additional hours. Should additional hours be needed the day of the event my hourly rate will apply and a pre-payment for those hours will need to be finalized before further photography services continues. I will always meet with my clients in a one-on-one free consultation prior to the event and will provide my best advise on what to plan for and how to get the best estimation of hours for your special day.
-
Mark: I am a solo photographer however I suggest my second photographer for weddings with 100 or more guests/attendees. A second photographer can be added to an any wedding at an additional hourly rate of $100/hr with a minimum of 4 hours. I highly suggest my second photographer with all weddings regardless of the quantity of attending guests.
-
Mark: I do capture some video for creating promotional visuals for social media and will be expanding on this in the near future. As far as entire wedding videos I do not offer that service currently. My current primary business focus is in creating beautiful photo books that document my clients special day. Stay tuned as videography services may be added in the future! I’m currently seeking a videographer to partner with that has a similar vision for my overall brand and quality of work!
-
Mark: Yes! I have several wedding photo books from actual weddings I’ve captured with different cover and book size options. I always bring them with me to my client consultations vs just showing you digital images online. The physical books allow me to show the overall build of the book including the incredible photo paper and the image print quality. I have many custom elements that can be worked into each book!
-
Mark: I edit several photo highlights from your engagement or wedding and deliver them to my clients within the first 24 hours following an event so you may share them with family and friends. The bulk of wedding photos may take around 1 month to deliver depending on the amount of photos captured and how much editing I am involved in. Once all of the finalized photos are completed and uploaded to the client catalog my clients are sent an email invite to the website where they can view the final photos. Clients have 30 days to view, download, and purchase physical prints.
-
Mark: Premium “Portrait” Photo books have a fairly fast turn-around (approximately 4-6 weeks to complete and deliver) while my Premium Wedding Photo books take a minimum of 2 months to produce after I have completed my photo edits, and another 1-2 months to print. Keep in mind, each book is unique and customized page by page. Expect a 4-5 month overall timeline from your wedding till delivery of any books. Delivery will depend on the time of the year, size of the book, and other factors, however I will always do my very best to get my books to my clients in a timely manner while maintaining the very best of quality!
-
Mark: Yes, photo prints will be available for purchase with a variety of sizes within your own secure client catalog, accessible here on my website. I use a professional print company that specializes in high quality, color accurate, printing processes. This ensures that all of my clients receive the highest quality prints with the same colors, tones, and clarity in the final digital image edits. Prints will be available for purchase once all photo edits are completed. An email invite will be sent to you with a unique catalog password once the catalog of final edits are available. Client catalogs are accessible online for 30 days once sent to my clients.
-
Mark: No, all RAW negatives are the property of Mark Peterson and For Love With Love. Each of the photographers selected RAW negatives go through an editing process where various adjustments, corrections, and artistic touches are made to create the finalized photo. RAW negatives require special editing programs and the knowledge of editing techniques to create final photographic images with them. I, like many other photographers and artists, maintain all RAW negatives in order to control the overall look, feel, and quality of my finalized photos and to maintain my overall business brand.
-
Mark: Yes, I do travel to other cities within Arizona, to include Phoenix, however I charge for milage for events and photoshoots over 60 miles from my home office (central Tucson). I charge $3.00/mile, round trip which must be paid prior to any event/photoshoot and may also be charged if additional locations are added outside of the contracted agreement (additional reception locations, secondary photoshoot locations, etc. This will be articulated in the pre-agreement/contract I have with my clients or added to the previously agreed upon contracted total due.
-
Mark: I am currently accepting weddings in southern France and can provide a quote for a round trip flight from Tucson to Marseille, hotel/rental flat for one week (7 nights), and credit for transportation and food during my stay. Rates may vary depending on the time of year, available flights, travel distance, transportation to and from my rental flat/hotel lodging and the wedding venue. Details can be worked out during a client and photographer meeting prior to the wedding and will be articulated within the contract.
-
Mark: No, the credit I offer clients who have experienced a wedding cancelation or wedding date delay may only be used for a wedding and may not be used towards a family photoshoot or any other special event.
