Nakamura's Photography

Mark is so down to earth and very fun loving. When we booked Mark Nakamura for our wedding, we got a heck of a deal for him to take our engagement pictures. He took us up to Terrace Hill in San Luis Obispo and the engagement pictures came out beautiful! He took amazing pictures and he was willing to take pictures with poses that my husband and I had kind of made up.

The day of the wedding, he arrived early to scout out the hotel area. It was great. Additionally, he was very nonintrusive, which made me really happy. I didn’t even know he was there, the majority of the time.

A week after the wedding, my pictures were ready for pick up. This was truly a pleasant surprise, as I thought it was going to take months. The great thing about working with Mark is that he not only takes the pictures, but he edits them as well, and you get to keep all of the pictures, to do with them as you wish. For our engagement pictures, I took our favorite picture and got it put on a canvas at Costco and used it at the wedding. I plan on doing the same thing with my favorite wedding picture.

Mark is great and he is reasonably priced!

Mark has a kindly and yet unobtrusive presence. We ended up with wonderful photos that exactly captured the spirit of the wedding, allowing us to relive it time and again.

Mark works with your agenda and has a gentle presence, he captures the essence of the people you love.

Mark was such an awesome photographer, with a great, funny, personality. He seemed very quiet when we talked on the phone prior to the wedding, but I was so comfortable with him as soon as I met him, I recommend him to anyone and everyone!

Mark was so much fun to be around. I we were sad to see him leave when he was done with our photos. He did an amazing job and took so many pictures for us! By the time we got back from our honeymoon, we already had the dvd of photos from him!

Highly, Highly recommend Mark to anyone!

We called Mark on a very short notice and he came the next day and met us at our hotel to take pictures of our Grandfather. We got home to look at all of the photos and there was not ONE bad photo in the whole bunch!!!! He was calm, professional and open to suggestions. The slideshow disk was available for us to pick up a few hours after we finished the session as well as some 8X10 prints. We would highly recommend him and plan to use him in the future for any event! Great experience :)

Mark was very professional, and the pictures turned out beautifully! I love how he put together a slide-show to music for us to share with our family and friends.

Mark Nakamura made our wedding extra special by capturing the most beautiful photographs. He was so kind, easy to work with, helpful, and professional. He was there throughout the whole planning process and gave helpful tips and guidance along the way. We thank Mark from the bottom of our hearts and would give him our highest recommendation!

Mark Nakamura did a beautiful job photographing our wedding, from the posed family shots to the precious candid moments. He was a calm force in a whirlwind of activity. We loved being able to share the web video of our wedding photos with our friends and family before we even returned from the honeymoon! Mark Nakamura is a master in his craft. Highly recommend him.

Mark Nakamura is considered one of the best photographers in our area. He was very helpful in helping us plan engagement and ceremony photos. Our family and friends love our album. Mark also worked with our DJ and location to make our day everything we dreamed of. Now we have the magical pictures to remind us of our special day!

Great photographer, I would recommend him to everyone.

Mark Nakamura was absolutely wonderful, and the pictures that he took were perfect! He captured the day completely!! We were so pleased with his work!!!

Mark was great! Thanks to him, I have beautiful wedding photos to cherish for the rest of my life. He was very professional and helped keep everyone relaxed. I would highly recommend him.

Mr. Nakamura did an excellent job photographing our wedding! He did it for a good price and gave us excellent photographs that we will treasure forever! He was very flexible and wanted to know exactly what we wanted. He was very supportive and a pleasure to have at our wedding. He made the experience stress free and fun.

Mark was wonderful! We love our pictures and everyone we know complimented his professionalism on our wedding day. He caught all of the emotion of our special day. He is amazing!

I would and have recommended Nakamura Photography to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer on the central coast. He was very pleasent and easy to work with, a joy to be around!

Nakamura Photography was amazing! He did such an excellent job on shooting our wedding that a bunch of my friends booked him for their weddings, after seeing how wonderful our photos were! We could not have been happier with how our photos turned out and even had our family photos done by him too! He is easy to work with and his photos show how talented he truely is!

I would highly recommend Mark Nakamura Photography to anyone! Mark was absolutly fabulous in every aspect. We could not have asked for anything better, we got every shot that we wanted and he was always right there for the candid ones without me ever having to look for him, he was already there. He was such a nice genuine person who from the very first day that we met with him made you feel so comfortable and welcome, it made our decision so easy and obvious righ away. He really added that something special to our wedding day

Great to work with. Very flexible. Blended in really well.

My husband, friends and family were so pleased with our wedding pictures. We were blown away by how fast we received our proofs and keepsake album. The quality was amazing. The photos looked as if they were from a highend fashion magazine. When it came time to have maternity pictures taken two years later, our first instinct was to ask Mark for his services.

My cousin used Nakamura's Photography for her wedding and she was so pleased with him that I decided to use him as well. He provided us with so many wonderful photo's that almost every wall in our house has a framed memory! We enjoyed having the duel coverage for the ceremony and the quality and quantity is so amazing for the price.

Mark & his staff did an amazing job photographing my wedding! I can honestly say that I never felt like there was a camera following me around. Yet, when I got my wedding albums - he captured everything (even a lot of stuff that I missed altogether!). It has been over two years since my wedding and I still look at our photos and find myself smiling. He did an amazing job. I especially appreciated having digital copies of the pictures to keep so that I could share them with friends & family and personalize what I wanted to print. My wedding day was a blur - but I will always have Mark Nakamura's beautiful photographs to remind me of what an amazing day it was.

Excellent Job.

Mark was awesome, he helped make our special day beautiful and relaxing. Not only was it affordable but he was able to capture every moment that we will never forget.

Mark was an excellent photographer. He gave us the digital rights to our photos and even orchestrated the cake-cutting. We got our proofs in less than a week, and our album was delivered in less than a month!

Mark was extremely accommodating and his quick turnaround for the actual wedding day pictures was amazing.

Mark did a wonderful job at our wedding. He was very professional and calm on the big day which is very important, especially to the bride! Thank you for doing such a thorough job. We love our pictures.

Mark is truly a photographer with a heart. Along with his professionalism and easy-going demeanor, he is the perfect component to a perfect wedding day!

The photos were great and we received our albums (and digital files on CD) very quickly. Mark is very professional and great to work with.

Mark was overall a great photographer and we were very pleased with him and his work. He was very professional and flexible to our needs. He is very confident in his work and has a very calm demeanor, which is great when everything else around you on your wedding day is crazy! One thing that stood out for us that separated Mark from other photographers is that he actually allowed for my uncle and mother's friend to shoot with him, during some of the more scenic shots, since they both have strong interests in photography. This made my uncle very happy, but also my parents and he overall left a very favorable impression. I would definitely recommend him. His prices are very reasonable too.

Photos came back so fast we could not beliieve it and we got to keep them all

Mark Nakamura is very talented and takes beautiful photographs. I wish I had spent more time with him discussing specific shots, etc.

Mark was very professional but I wish I sat down with him more before and discussed specific shots. Also there was a lot of pictures that he took that we never recieved. He said they didn't come out but it was upsetting to not have any pictures of the garder toss!

Mark with Nakamura's Photography is one of the kindest people I know. Not only is he an excellent photographer, but he is amazing and professional to work. I very much endorse Mark Nakamura as an excellent photographer and one you would want to have on your team.

Mark is a very talented photographer and fine person to say the least. His work is excellent. He is committed to detail and floats effortlessly around you and your guests during your event. Mark is one of my favorite people in the whole world.

Ah yes, traditional, classic, fun and spunky...that's how I would describe Mark's photography. Mark's photographs capture the moment so well that everytime you look at the picture it takes you back and puts a smile on your face. I would reccommend him a million times over again. I even reccommended him to myself and hired him to do my wedding!

Mark Nakamura is a true gem! He has such a nice, calm demeanor about him that will improve each wedding he works with. He helps calm the nerves while taking amazing photos. His photo turn-around is faster than any photographer I have worked with. You receive digital images very soon after the wedding, allowing you to begin treasuring the memories from your special day even sooner.

Mark Nakamura does amazing work. He has a very creative style and delivers a beautiful end product. Equally important is his gentle demeanor and generous spirit. This can be very important when photographing a nervous bride. A delightful person with an incredible talent. Win Win!

Mark is an excellent photographer. In fact he has helped trained many of our other local photographers. He works extremely well with the time line and is able to combine quality photography without keeping the bride and groom away from the reception for too long. He has a very calm and patient attitude. He is great to work with. -Beau Kramer, Kramer Entertainment Inc, www.kramerdjs.com
