about me

Hi, I'm Mark.

I’m a Portland, Oregon based wedding & elopement photographer.

I strive to document people, places & moments in a natural, artful & timeless way. I'd be particularly honored to do so on your wedding day. I try to be a laid back presence on your big day & use a candid, documentary style approach as much as possible.

Originally from Chicago, my family & I relocated to Portland, Oregon in 2016.

I’m a husband, father to 2 beautiful girls, musician & visual artist with a love for travel, coffee & Manhattans (the cocktail, though the place is swell, too). _________________________

Please feel free to inquire about wedding & elopement photography in the Pacific Northwest & worldwide. 

I love to travel, so no destination is too far. 

If interested in my services, please contact me for more information, I'd love to hear from you.

While weddings & elopements are my main focus, I offer portrait sessions & various other photography services, including commercial work.

Have a photography project in mind? Feel free to reach out.

Testimonials

“Mark is easy to work with, very professional, and so so talented. We picked him because we wanted someone who could capture the feeling of the wedding and he did just that. He caught so many beautiful little moments with our friends and family. Our couples portraits also turned out amazing. They are natural and fun, with a few dramatic ones thrown in for good measure. Mark had great ideas for creative places to shoot, gentle guidance to help us look our best, and was super easy going. I highly recommend working with Mark.”

“Mark is so good at what he does, I can hardly believe how great we look in our wedding photos. He was excellent to work with leading up to the event, and truly perfect throughout the evening. We didn't give Mark a lot of guidance (camera shy folks here!) but it didn't matter-Mark knew where to stage us at the venue, and we have more beautiful photos than I could have imagined. His aesthetic is total pro, puts him above the rest, and I would recommend him to everyone looking for quality photos. A truly amazing photographer!”

“I don’t even know where to begin. I guess I’ll start right away with a bold—but very true—statement: Mark Federighi was the best money we spent on our entire wedding. HIRE. THIS. MAN.
My husband and I both agree. Our best planning decision wasn’t the venue, or the food, or the flowers (though all those things were great), it was Mark. He was a joy to be around (which is HUGE for wedding photography...the last thing you need on such a hectic, awesome day, is a real jerk shoving a camera in your face!) from the very beginning. I’ll always love the memory of realizing I didn’t have a ride to my OWN wedding, and Mark just going “well, I have a car!” and helping me pile myself and my giant dress into his front seat. He’s easygoing, helpful, hilarious in the most subtle and fantastic way, and OH MY GOD HOW THE HELL DID HE GET ALL THESE AMAZING PHOTOS?!? Is he actually 7 incredibly talented people?!? WTF?!? Even the parts of the day that felt rushed and stressful (family photos, anyone?) were captured in the best way. Every goofy, adorable thing the flower girl did. Every sweet glance between my husband and I. Every funny thing that happened on the dance floor. Quiet moments between guests at dinner. He captured it all so, so beautifully. He even captured me holding my baby nephew for the first time, although we didn’t tell him or summon him or even think of it ourselves. We were blown away, and still can’t stop going through all of these photos. We’ll have a 1,000 page wedding album because they’re all too good. Mark, thank you so much for everything. Marrying Chuck was the best thing I’ve ever done, and the fact that you immortalized it in the most beautiful photos I’ve ever seen makes me eternally grateful to you! We’ll never need another photographer for all our family events. You’re it. ”

“We booked Mark to shoot our wedding, and could not have been happier with the experience. Mark is extremely understated, cool headed, mild mannered, easy to work with, and professional. He was nowhere and everywhere at the same time during our wedding and got some truly amazing shots. I’m glad we invested in having Mark, as the end product was truly stunning and something we will have for the rest of our lives. Could not recommend more. FYI the example photos on his website gallery were very similar to the end products we received in style and quality. Thanks Mark!”

— Joe P

“Mark did a phenomenal job shooting our wedding in Berkeley. He flew down a day early to scope out the venue (not at our request), making the wedding day go smoothly because he already had great suggestions on photos ready. He was very easy to work with and made us comfortable throughout the day. We’re very impressed with how the photos came out. He’s truly skilled in the way he use angles, focus, and lighting to capture special moments. We highly recommend him for anyone who’s considering a photographer for any occasion. Thanks Mark!”
