I arranged to get some Photoshop training with Mark and I'm so glad I did. As well as being a great photographer, he's also a photoshop magician. He really knows his stuff and has a really friendly and relaxed way of sharing his knowledge. Trust me - a few hours with this man and your images will soar.

Can't sing this guys praise enough, Had my second shoot with Bokehlicious, as usual he is an absolute star! we shot firstly at my home and then on location. Got some cracking shots and as usual didn't have to wait long for the edits, it's always a pleasure to shoot with you and to also follow your work 😊

Well,what can I say?

Mark is awesome :D He has been on my WTWW list for as long as I can remember, so I was so excited to have the opportunity to work with him last weekend.

Well spoken, polite and friendly and gave great direction when needed.

We worked in a very small time frame but the shots we got were just stunning! I am really pleased with the results and can't wait to see more.

I hope we get the opportunity to work together again sometime.

Thank you Mark :)

I have finally managed to meet and work with the famous Bokehlicious !!! :)

Me and Mark have been discussing quite a long while now about shooting together, but we haven't really nailed a date in our calendars, until it finally happened a couple of weeks ago when we nailed it!! I was certainly looking so forward to our shoot today in Milton Keynes and just couldn't wait for this to happen.

We didn't have a moodboard for our shoot or any ideas planned, but need to say we have pulled off quite a few good sets in a short amount of time!! Mark can get really creative during the shoot and he is awesome in giving directions when needed. We have started our shoot with a few studio sets, then some natural light in the boudoir section and some outdoors too in such a beautiful and quiet place where I actually told him I'm going to move house!! So peaceful :)

While working with him, Mark is very respectful.. and a real gent. I felt really comfortable at all times and he makes a great coffee!! :) Seeing the images on the back of the camera (and having received some edits already!!), all I can say is that I am really pleased with the results !!

That's for sure I highly recommend him. And once again, thank you so much, Mark!! Mona

Not a shoot but i went to Mark for a bit of a photoshop refresher on Sunday morning. Have to say he was very helpful and knowledgable in all things retouching! He filled in the blanks that were causing my frustrations and tailored the lesson to exactly what i needed. If you are struggling with anything photoshop/lightroom related i suggest giving Mark a shout!

10 out of 10 from me!

I had my third shoot with the incredibly talented Bokehlicious a couple of weeks back. He just gets better and better.

This lovely guy is brilliant to work with, you can be guaranteed and easy-going, relaxed and more than anything, a fun shoot! :)

As the weather has been warming up lately (a bit), we decided to go and do some pretty natural light stuff, although, with Mark, you know that he will put his own spin on it to ensure that the shots stand out from the crowd! This time, we managed to get accosted by an angry farmer, which was definitely an interesting experience :)

From what I have already seen from this shoot, we have created one of my favourite images of all time! Saying that, Mark managed to do the same on our last studio shoot!!! :) :)

I cannot wait to shoot with this talented and versatile man again, it always feels as though we will never beat the last shoot, yet we always do!! :D

Thank you so much! SO highly recommended!

Had a great time on Saturday at my second shoot with Mark. An easygoing, fun environment turned out to be highly conducive to getting awesome shots. Definitelyrecommend and would love to work together again.

I had my second shoot with Mark last weekend at his place and studio.

Mark came to the bus station very on time to pick myself and the make-up artist up. He made us some lovely tea and we cracked on with make-up and shooting. With just more than 3 hours, we managed to shoot 4-5 different looks (included make-up changing time) and I just loved the photos from just looked at the back of the camera.

We had such a great fun kitchen shoot, I used the pizza Mark was making for lunch and pretened I was making one and it actually looked quite real :P

I'm so thrilled to see the final edits and they are undoubtedly amazing! I can't wait to see the rest.

Again, I would highly recommend Mark and I look forward to working with him again in the future.

Went to Bokeh's for my 2nd shoot with him at his home and on location and i was impressed again!

What i love about working with Mark is he is the perfect mixture of professional and fun!

We shot such a vast range of images and the edits he has done are fabulous!

If he will shoot me again then i wouldn't hesitate to continue to work with over and over!

Highly recommend!

I shot with Mark on the Bank Holiday Monday. The shoot was rather short notice. As I contacted him a few days before when I knew I'd be in his area. Mark was really easy to shoot with, very laid back, able to have a laugh and ultimately I felt very relaxed and at ease with him. He directed well and knew exactly what I was after in terms of shots. He got the photos back to me in record time too, Nd their all fabulous.

I would highly recommend ;)

I worked with Mark last week on my recent tour of the area, it was a shoot I was seriously looking forward to after wanting to work with him for quite a while and being a fan of his work.

The shoot definitely lived up to it's expectations! We worked our way through a few different sets and got some absolutely fab images, I've loved every single one he has put up so far which is rare for me as I normally always find fault in at least one image as I'm my worst critic haha!

He took some beautiful images of me and I'm really happy with the results, not to mention that he is generally just a great person to be around. Good fun, loves a good natter and has some seriously epic taste in TV programs too :D

Without a doubt recommended and hope to work with him again :)

I am very pleased that this lovely photographer was happy to arrange a second shoot with me...

Having worked with Mark before I knew what I would get from the shoot, fun, enjoyment, and wonderful results!

This chap is amazing to work with. You can guarantee you will feel 100% comfortable with him, whatever your levels... He is hugely respectful of anyone's levels... Does everything possible to create a fantastic image... Wonderful editing.

Mark is also willing to work with any concepts a model may bring to a shoot and works hard to make them happen.

He is a humble, brilliant and lovely photographer...

I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone!

Had the pleasure of working with Mark at his home studio today...

I was thrilled when we agreed a shoot, Was greeted warmly and we more or less started straight away. I felt at ease and comfortable instantly, he likes quick poses and I was happy to deliver that for him..... He is the type of photographer who knows what he wants from a shot, as a great eye for detail and works damn hard to get it, his input is fantastic and direction is second to none.

Lots of tea and coffee, a bacon sandwich, laughs and chat.

Having followed Marks work for a while it goes without saying I am a fan and I would certainly recommend him.

I was delighted when Mark approached me with a brilliant conceptual idea involving fire! He spent a lot of time ensuring that the props for the shoot were spot on and it worked really well.

Mark is very relaxed as well as being great fun to shoot with. The fact that he's a very talented photographer goes without saying!

This was our third shoot together and, with a fourth currently being planned for early 2015, I think we make a great team. Looking forward to shoot #4 :)

Had a great shoot today with Mark at his home!

We arranged the shoot just two days before and i'm very pleased with how much stuff we got shot!

He is very easy to get along with and makes shooting enjoyable, relaxed and a laugh!

He focuses on getting the best shot and i couldn't recommend him highly enough!

Hope to work with him again soon!

After liking my pictures on facebook, Mark got my attention. I absolutely adore his work so we had a little chatt a few days ago and the same day we've arranged a shoot for Friday night and Sunday morning. And what can I say... He was absolutely fantastic to work with!

Absolute gentleman, everything about his etiquette, from his perfectly composed and fantastic communications to the way he makes a stand to show a model the greatest level of care and respect on the day of a shoot.

Mark is very professional, he exactly know what he is doing with an amazing eye to the details. His photography skills are unbelievable and at the same time he is also the most delightfully fun photographer that model could look forward to working with.

He made me feel comfortable straight away, very chatty, lots of laugh during shoot.

He had his own ideas but he was happy to do my own ideas and poses too which made this such a productive shoot.

From the look on the back of camera I'm blown away! Now I can't wait to see the final results as we got so many, absolutely amazing pictures!

Highly recommend and I would definitely work with Mark again.

One of the top photographers I have work with.

Thank you Mark.

I shot with Mark today at some beautiful woodlands in Northamptonshire, having wanted to shoot with him for a while. Luckily the rain held off and we were able to get through a good number of sets. Comms with Mark before the shoot were fab and the shoot itself was a blast. Mark knows exactly what he wants to achieve and has a fantastic eye for a shot. Having seen some of the back of cams I am so excited to see the final images - beautiful work, as to be expected from Mark. He was a perfect gentleman on the shoot, really respectful and excellent to work with. I would jump at the chance to shoot with Mark again and if you have the chance to shoot with him, take it - you will not be disappointed :)
