EXCELLENT Based on 31 reviews Posted on Rebecca CampbellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team at Taken By Marc was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we met them, they instantly felt like family — warm, genuine, and incredibly passionate about what they do. Not only did they make our wedding photography dreams come true, but they did so with an unmatched level of professionalism, creativity, and heart. This fun-filled, loving group doesn’t just take beautiful photos — they create an experience. They made us feel comfortable, celebrated, and completely ourselves in front of the camera, which is something we’ll never forget. It’s clear that they take their craft seriously, but just as important to them is the connection they build with you. On our wedding day, it didn’t feel like we had vendors with us — it felt like we were surrounded by close friends who happened to be incredibly talented photographers. Their presence made the day lighter, more joyful, and infinitely more memorable. We are forever grateful for the moments they captured and the energy they brought. If we could hire them for every milestone in our lives, we would. They are so much more than a photography team — they are now a part of our story. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. If you're looking for a wedding photography team that truly does it all and then some, Taken By Marc is it. Phenomenal work, beautiful souls. We can’t recommend them enough. 💛Posted on Mike GahaganTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marc and his team were amazing at our wedding. They were on schedule at all times, professional and a fun team to be around. They knew how to capture a moment and bring the right emotions out of everyone at the right time. The video Marc and his team produced was absolutely beautiful a brought a tear to our eyes. It brought us back to the wedding day but we were able to view it from all different incredible angles and see some moments we missed. I highly recommend Marc and his team.Posted on Claudio LenerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marc and his team were absolutely phenomenal for our wedding. They were better than our expectations and took care of everything related to pictures and videography, which, on such an eventful day, was extremely appreciated by us. The pictures and video were stunning, and we have been so happy with them. It was truly a pleasure to work with them all, their interaction with the other vendors was smooth and the whole day went perfectly. For any other media service we'll be looking for in the future, we know where to go to. Thank you Marc!Posted on James BondTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys are the best in the business! Hands down! Mark, Lisa and the team just get it, they know where to be and what to shoot, they take charge when needed and the photos are Out Of this World!

I am so glad we were able to work with Marc, Lisa, and the fantastic team that worked so hard to capture beautiful moments of our Wedding day.

Our photos and memories were perfectly captured. I am so happy we booked with them, I highly recommend Marc Mikhail Photography & Cinema for your wedding photos and video. Thank-you!Posted on E. D.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. BEST. I am not sure where to even begin other than to say Marc, Lisa and his team are outstanding at what they do. They know exactly what they are doing from the the first meeting to the delivery of content. I am thankful we went ahead with photo and video as well as getting the long version and raw footage. Our photos are outstanding. The video footage captured us perfectly. The entire day the team was on top of everything, I did not have to worry about a single thing. They are excellent at making sure they are utilizing the best angles and ensuring a maximum variety. Words can't describe how thankful I am we went with Marc, Lisa and the team for our wedding day. Absolutely do not hesitate to book them for your wedding, they are truly the best!Posted on Dan MariellaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In many ways, the photographer you choose for your wedding is the most important decision you'll make. Looking at Marc's portfolio made it clear that my wife and I would be dealing with an incredibly talented and technically skilled photographer. However, it wasn't until the day of the wedding that I experienced what sets Marc and his partner Lisa apart from every other name we passed on. When you hire Marc, you're trusting him to compose and capture every precious moment. Photos and videos are what you show to your friends and family, making the eyes and hands of your photographer the connection to the everlasting memories of your wedding. In all of southern Ontario there are none better than Marc Mikhail and Lisa De Simone. They have given us absolutely stunning photographs. Not only were they flawless to work with, they even amended the flaws of other vendors! Limo didn't show up? Marc drove myself and my groomsmen to the church in his massive truck. Cake disappeared before you got to see it? Lisa set one aside specifically for a special outdoor photo session. When you work with Marc and Lisa you are dealing with the exceptional. When the day is so surreal that it feels like it was a blur, it is such a relief to know that they've captured every moment perfectly. Look no further. This is your wedding photographer. (even choosing photos to attach to this was difficult because they are all SO GOOD)Posted on AnnaMaria SkentzosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. On behalf of Konstantinos and myself, we would like to thank Taken by Marc for capturing our special day! I don't even know where to begin! Marc, Lisa , and the amazing crew made our wedding day surpass all of our expectations. From the moment we met everyone while searching for a professional company to capture our special day, we truly knew that they were the one! Such a very down to earth, exquisite, and phenomenal service that we strongly recommend to anyone in search of a Photographer/Videographer duo. From them organizing both the bride and groom getting ready in the morning, to the church service and reception everything was very turn key on our part. All we had to do was just show up and say "I do"! There were many memorable moments made with this crew and we can't forget about the speeches 😂. Everything was captured to the tee and the nail hit on the head. So many laughs and smiles will live upon us for viewing pleasure upon generations. To sum everything up, if you want a company that goes above and beyond your personal expectations and gives you that extra special treatment , don't hesitate to contact these wonderful people. They will make all your dreams come true. Much love to Marc and Lisa and appreciate our continued friendship even after our big day ❤️
