Mark Andrew G Photography

Mark Andrew is an extremely talented and professional (yet super fun!!) photographer.
The second I got engaged, a close friend who does wedding videos HIGHLY recommended Mark Andrew G Photography to us. He said, «Trust Me! I’m in this industry, I know quality when I see it. He’s sooo good to the point where I would hire him for my wedding. Just follow him on Instagram and you’ll be convinced!»
At first we were going to go with a discounted photographer because we were on a tight budget, but after following Mark Andrew G on Instagram and seeing his quality of work, I realized photos are forever. If there is something to spend money on it’s definitely memories!
I was so right to hire him. The day that we had been waiting for finally came and it went SO FAST! As the bride and groom you’re just SO busy that you don’t get to experience everything that’s going on. Mark Andrew & his team captured so many moments that I didn’t even know happened. The whole time I was going through the pictures I was laughing, smiling and wishing I was back to that special day. As days, weeks, months, years pass by memories will start to fade but these beautiful priceless pictures will last forever. Thank you Mark Andrew G Photography & Team for being such a huge part of our wedding! You guys are so amazing!

If you are looking for a HIGHLY skilled photographer, be sure to choose Mark! He recently shot my wedding at Karl Strauss Brewery in Sorrento Valley and the photos came out wonderful!
Being a wedding photographer in my early years, you can be sure that I was very picky at choosing one for my personal big day. Not only is he great at photo composition and editing skills, but he is a WIZARD with his flash! There were a few difficult low light situations that he turned into creative works of art. Rest assured that he will capture your most precious moments!
Not only is he talented with his camera, but he is a great person to work with! He has a very positive and fun personality and is flexible to catering to your needs. I feel that relieves a lot of the stress from wedding planning and brightens your event.
Anyways, stop hesitating and contact him now! You won’t regret it!

Andrew is such a talented photographer! He is also a kind person, and super fun to be with. He made our engagement shoot so fun. I felt at ease with him, because he worked very hard to make me and my fiancé feel comfortable.
We enlisted Andrew for our wedding, but also added an engagement package with it. Andrew is prompt, and reaching him through phone or email is very easy. He cares about the kind of look we wanted to have in our photos, so when I told him that we wanted some shots on a railroad track, he went ahead and scoped out a place he thought might be a good spot. It turned out that location was a little sketch – thankfully he took the initiative to check it out beforehand. When that didn’t work, he was ready with another location, which was also awesome!
During our shoot, my fiancé and I felt very comfortable. Andrew is an easy person to get along with. When we finally saw our photos, my fiancé and I looked so natural and at ease, as if it was really just the two of us having fun, and not staged. The colors in the photos were breathtaking.
Thank you, Andrew! I can’t wait for other milestones in my life, so I can have you there to capture them again!

Andrew is awesome!
We got him for our wedding in January 2014 but also included some Engagement pictures in our package. I wasn’t a fan of the whole engagement picture idea but my Fiancé wanted it so i really had no choice. :)
Anyway, Andrew made the shoots super fun and I could not believe how some of the photos came out. As we explored the locations you could see Andrew’s mind working, trying to figure out what spots would make for a great picture. And he sure was good at it.
He was very good at putting you at the right spot and then letting you be. I liked that he had minimal suggestions, like «move your hand there», essentially capturing you in more natural moments. He was definitely open to our ideas and did his absolute best at replicating what we had in mind plus adding some other great pictures that we had not thought of.
He is a total professional and I am %100 satisfied with what he has done for us so far. I cant wait for the actual wedding day to see what awesomeness he will come up with.
We took our engagement pictures at several locations. USD library, Salk Institute, Travel Town at Griffith Park (Los Angeles), and The Getty (Los Angeles)

Mark is an AMAZING photographer. Initially my fiancé and I saw Mark’s work on FB as he took the professional photos for a friend’s wedding. We interviewed quite a few photographers for our engagement/​wedding but Mark was the only photographer who was open to our photography location ideas and he flew out to Scottsdale, Arizona to take our engagement photos. He took shots at a desert in Tempe, Arizona and also at a restaurant in Scottsdale, AZ. I could not have asked for a more laid-​back, yet hard-​working photographer. Not only is he super sweet and always has a good attitude, he is just a genuinely kind person.
He is definitely the photographer that the bride/​groom would want for a wedding. He is calm and he handled the wedding day craziness extremely well and professionally. He goes out of his way to get those beautiful shots that only a true artist can think of on the spot.
We constantly get compliments about our engagement photos and are so impressed with our sneak peak (preview) of a few of our wedding day photos — they’re absolutely stunning. We can’t wait to see the rest of our wedding day photos!
Thanks a million Mandrew — it was a pleasure and we look forward to working with you again!

Mark was amazing during our maternity photoshoot. He was recommended to us by our previous photographer on a last minute notice. I must say, I am more than pleased that we fell into the arms Mark to do our pictures as he produced some amazing shots — incredibly better than we had envisioned. Mark is a genuine guy who truly loves what he does and his character, professionalism and work displays that immensely! So happy Mark took care of us so well — esp with our spunky pup bentley making appearances in some pictures! Simply awesome!

I found Mark by chance on the internet. I wasn’t looking for the typical wedding photographer where they make you do cheesy poses or make the photos look unnatural. Mark was very easy going when we met, as if we were already friends. We knew he was the right guy for us.
Check out his website! You won’t be disappointed. Mark is very professional. He responded very quickly when I would call, email, or text. I was so busy before the wedding that we actually Skype’d our first meeting and he answered all my questions via internet.
Once I received the finished product in the mail, I was sooooo happy with the way they turned out. The yearbook style book was well put together and contained hundreds of photos. Friends & family mentioned that he never stopped clicking his camera and captured every moment and it showed through the book. It was like a storybook that chronologically helped me relive every single moment that happened on that special day.
Mark is very talented, innovative, and continuously striving to become better than before. Talented & innovative because he uses different techniques and methods that makes his photos stand out. The angles he uses, the moments he caught from a reflection of a mirror, or peering his camera through a certain object to capture a glance. He has a signature style he uses in all his shoots and it very well became one my favorite photos. Mark mentions that he constantly tries to be updated in the photography world and goes to conventions to gain new insights and ideas.
I would definitely recommend him to family, friends, and others who have come across his work.

I’ve known Mark since high school, so therefore i had to go to him. I’m not going to say good things about him, because i’ve known him for a while, but i will say good things because he captured everything i wanted and more! we did our engagement shoot wit him and he has such a great and creative mind. he captured so many great moments. i love the fact that he let us do whatever we wanted, and not just stay still and look like a dork. he captures priceless moments to stay still. he also did our wedding and he did a great job. i love his creativity when he is limited time or space. he is a great person to work with. you will not regret it. on top of being a great photographer, he is a great person, and he loves doing what he does. HIRE HIM! =)

5 Stars it is! (1) For being very diligent/​prompt in responding to emails texts. (2) Willing to work with clients schedule (meet n greet). (3) For impressing me with your humble/​professional personality. (4) Works well ALONE. (5) Need I say more?
A referral from a friend’s-friend. Mandrew (Mark) was described to me as a young Filipino guy, made me curious. I wasn’t sure if I actually wanted to meet with the guy. But wait, I was provided with a link/​blog and Yes! I was amazed with his work, and Yes, Mark was Filipino, young, very talented, hard worker, easy to work with, funny and likes to drive the fast car. Mandrew seemed nervous the first time we met but managed to relax n wouldn’t stop talking after (jk).
Finally, the decision is made (not too long) that he would be the perfect guy for the job, my daughter, Kristlee Kandyce Cruz’s debut (03.03.12-Poppin’). His very first debut shoot! Yikes… but did I go wrong? Of course Not! It was an AMAZING evening from start to finish! Mandrew got along well with everybody/​anybody n was introduced to all the guys named MARK that night. It was a once in a lifetime event and we wanted to capture every single moment of it… aaahhh! Mandrew caught it all, as the guest did there thing and he was put to work. I loved the hairspray, dress silhoutte and back flip shot! Oh my, the pictures were ALL AMAZING!
Thank you, thank you for making Kristlee’s evening a memorable one, the pictures were amazing/​awesome, Oh BTW, wasn’t expecting to get them sooner. We were dying to see them and I really appreciated that! Thank you so much for the kind words posted on your website/​blog. This is definitely not our first nor last event to work together, I’m glad that you had a wonderful time and that we were your first debut shoot! Referrals/​Recommendations are out there!
Mandrew, continue to take pride in your work and the extra work that you do on the side (i wnt say, i’ll leave it up to u to tell), good luck and wishes to continued success in the photography industry.
Lastly, Mark Andrew G Photography = BOMB​.COM!
Thanks again!

Our experience with Mark was amazing! He photographed our engagement pictures and they could not have turned out any better! I am so excited that he will also be doing our wedding!!! I would absolutely recommend anyone getting pictures done by him!

Mark Andrew and I go back to elementary school days. If there is one thing I’ve come to know about him is that if he is passionate about something, he goes all in and his photography is no different. His techniques, resourcefulness, and vision never cease to amaze me and it comes through in his work. Mark Andrew is super chill and very professional at the same time. He is probably one of the funniest guys I know so when you work with him there is never an awkward moment because he’s always putting a smile on your face. He’s always pushing to better himself and his work so you will not be disappointed with his services. I’ve been lucky enough to have known him for so long and wish him much success in the future.

I found Mark Andrew by chance while looking for a wedding photographer in San Diego where we were soon to hold our private beach wedding. I was really looking for someone who would do more than staged portrait pictures, someone who would have fun capturing every real moment. All I can say is WOW! We hit the jackpot with Mark! He was SO easy and fun to work with and the results were out of this world!
In fact, we loved him so much we just had him flown out to Phoenix to do Sr pictures for our oldest daughter. Again… his eye, his creativity, his use of available resources, and his «go with the flow» attitude are above and beyond anything I could ever hope for in any kind of service provider. I will never use another photographer.

Mark is such a talented photographer, who has a great career ahead of him. He has the best personality that makes you feel at ease when being photographed. Never did I ever imagine that the pictures being taken would come out the way they did, they were AMAZING! I absolutely love how he makes them so candid like, instead of so posey. No matter what occasion comes up in my life, where a photographer is needed Mark will be the man for the job. I highly recommend Mark Andrew G photography.

Mark has an imaginative mind, a creative eye, and skilled hands and knows how to use and easily integrate them into beautiful images. He also has a friendly and outgoing attitude and is very easy to get along with! Having only met him and had him shoot with me once, it had felt like I’ve known him for years. (=

When planning our October wedding, one of the first things my wife and I knew we needed to find, was a great photographer. After spending countless hours wandering around Bridal Bazaars and online ads, my wife found Mark’s Craigslist ad and was immediately impressed with the way he presented himself. She set up a meeting with him and came back raving about how excited she was about him. His previous work was brilliant, and he was such a good-​natured person we could not wait to hire him.
After shooting our engagement session we were even more excited about how the wedding shoot would go. Mark always kept in contact with us and kept us in the loop with updates.
Once the wedding came, Mark was a fiend with his camera. I felt like I rarely saw him during the ceremony or the reception, however the consensus from our guests was that he was EVERYWHERE.
His pictures proved it. I could hardly believe how many AMAZING pictures he produced after the wedding. There was a great mix of formal, candid, and casual photos. Mark was able to capture the real spirit of the evening with his touching photos. He was even able to capture rare moments that I never imagined would have made it to film.
My wife and I felt as if we made a true friend in Mark, and are so excited to see him continue his craft.
Mark has nowhere to go but up, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a remarkable photographer and person.

I was looking for a photographer for my wedding and one of my friends from work recommend Mark. First, he did our engagement photos. I wasn’t the only one impressed. I was really excited to see what he can do with our wedding pictures. Sure enough, when he was done with our wedding, I got what I expected.
Mark is professional, funny, chill, always smiling and has a great vision.
I totally agree with Chad, though I didn’t know Mark for years. After working with him, my husband and I felt like we’ve known him for years.
Thank you, Mark!

Mark’s work never ceases to amaze me every time I have a new shoot with him. He always surprises me with new equipment and new techniques for taking his pictures, and the end result is always flawless. Mark is a really cool, chill, and friendly guy who always wears a smile on his face. LITERALLY! So working with him will definitely be a good time. He’s always determined to push himself to become better at what he does and it shows through his work. I can say a lot of good things about him, but why do that when his work speaks much higher volume. See for yourself and you’ll know what I’m talking about. Here’s to following your dreams and hoping you have much success in the future!
