Begin Your JourneyAbout Palmer
I'm a wedding photographer and videographer rooted in the heart of Northern California. I believe every couple deserves imagery that feels as honest and alive as the love they share — not posed, not performative, just real.
From the misty redwood coast to the sun-scorched desert outside Las Vegas, I travel wherever your love story leads. My approach blends fine-art composition with documentary instincts, so you get images you'll treasure for a lifetime.

Elopements at Lassen
Lassen Volcanic National Park is one of California's most extraordinary — and underrated — wedding landscapes. Steaming fumaroles, alpine lakes, wildflower meadows, and ancient lava fields create a backdrop unlike any other.
I know this park intimately. I know the golden-hour spots, the secret overlooks, and how to navigate the permit process so your day is seamless. Whether you're eloping with just the two of you or hosting a small gathering of your closest people, I'll help you make it unforgettable.

Kind Words
Absolute gem to work with. Was so kind and creative. Made my husband and I very comfortable and easy to come out of our shells. Photos came out amazing!
Mount Shasta, California Wedding
Let me preface this by saying I HATE taking pictures. Mark knows how to make it enjoyable and is incredibly efficient. Mark has done videography at my wedding and we have used him multiple times for family photos and he simply does not miss. Affordable and friendly, the best in the North State. Stop reading reviews and book him already.

Mark is an incredibly kind, compassionate, and professional photographer. He made everyone feel comfortable and respected throughout the entire process. His timeliness and attention to detail ensured everything went smoothly, and the final photos were stunning. I highly recommend Mark, for anyone seeking a talented and genuinely caring photographer.
Northern California Wedding
Mark is a great person and truly talented. He always comes prepared with fresh ideas for every occasion, and his photos turn out amazing every time. We trust him with all of our family pictures and couldn’t recommend him more!
