We couldn't be happier with our wedding pictures! Mark is able to show our unique family style in the photos, rather than the stiff formals I was trying to stay away from. His patience and flexibility really have a wonderful impact on the smoothness of picture-taking. Even our camera-shy friends had a good time! I would recommend 9Art Photography to anyone who wants to capture their memories in a really personal way.

Thanks again!

Britney & Justin, Galena, KS

We were truly moved by your work. I don't think we could be happier with what we recieved and the awesome memories you captured. Your unique way about you is special and un-ordinary- you are truly what we were looking for in a photographer.

Once again, thank you so much for everything."

Erik & Lissa, Fayeteville, AR:

"Our wedding took place on a day that snowed, rained, and shone, all in less then 12 hours. We thought our outdoor pictures were doomed due to the weather, but Mark was still able to pull off some great shots. He was very friendly, kind, and good humored through the whole thing, and we felt relaxed around him, which was a blessing."

Andrea & Taylor, Joplin, MO

"Mark was a great photographer for our wedding. He was open to our ideas and was very laid back and easy going. It made the entire process a lot smoother. He didn't even lose his patience when we were locked out of the church for a while. He just made it work and the pictures turned out wonderful. He captured everything we were hoping to capture that day and more. He is incredibly affordable and very professional."

Kim Young, Joplin, MO:

"Mark's ability to capture our Granddaughter's emerging personality was extraordinary. He was very patient with her and picked the perfect location. The variety of photo's were awesome. We are really pleased with his work."

Mallory Carr , Joplin, MO:

"I'm really glad I had Mark do my senior pictures.  He made the whole experience really fun and comfortable for me.  There was no awkwardness at all.  I really loved the pictures he took of me also, because, not only were they good quality pictures, but they were very unique; he puts his own little edge on all of his work which is what I like best about him.  He doesn't do those lame kind of pictures that all have the same boring poses."                  

Mandy Humphrey, Carl Junction, MO:

"The pictures that Mark took of my children turned out beautifully. His patience with kids is amazing. Thanks!"

"Mark was awesome to work with. We had so much fun taking pictures as a family and he was the perfect photographer to have take them. He related well to our family, joking and having fun right along with us and yet was very professional and gave us great shots that will last a lifetime. He had neat and unique ideas that turned out some excellent pictures that show what a good time we were havivng. We also took some great formal shots that made my mom really happy."

Justin Kendall, Springfield, MO:
"Mark was great. He is SO easy to work with, and the quality is as good as any other studio, for a fraction of the price! [the session] was fun and relaxed, and the pictures look like ME. Thank you, 9Art photography!"

Justin Taylor, Joplin, MO:

"Mark's photography was amazing. I loved his pictures that he took of me- he is great to work with and offers a unique snapshot everytime. I like the pictures he took of me because they are a more natural look and not posed."
