Xpectphotography

I’m Mark, a South Wales Wedding Photographer. Born and raised in Cardiff, I was very arty throughout my school and life in general and photography always a passion as a hobby. In 2005 I began work as a second photographer with an established Wedding Photographer in Cardiff and spent 2 years learning the trade with extensive on the job training coupled with attending numerous courses, lectures and seminars, extensive research and an unending thirst for knowledge in the field of photography.

The Name Xpect Photography
In 2007 I launched my company Xpect photography. A little known fact. A lot of photographers, in fact most I would say use their names for their brand and company. So why didn’t I just become Mark Martin Photography. Well I had that idea initially until I realised that there was a very famous NASCAR driver in America with thousands of fan sites and his name was everywhere. I was never going to get my company heard above that noise so I had to opt for a company name. Xpect Photography said it simply. Photography is what you can expect and very good photography as well I hope you will agree.

Hobbies
I am keen on keeping fit and do a lot of running. I am not fanatical about it but I do like to stretch my legs several times a week and if the weather is good then I love to run across country or as it is known Trail Running.
