Testimonials
“Upmarket Photo is creative, thoughtful, works to meet the changing schedules of real estate professionals and homeowners, and understands that weather can play a role in the finished product.
Mark is sensitive to the needs of the agents he is hired by and the occupants of the homes he photographs. He is artistic in his approach – not all shots appear the same from home to home. He is inventive when it comes to trying to get an exterior from a preferred angle. He researched that one of our beach homes was across the street from
a home with a roof deck. He suggested that we request permission from the ‘across the street neighbors’ for access to their roof deck, to allow Mark to photograph our listing from a higher angle. As drones and quad-copters are not allowed in our area due to airport and base proximity, this allowed a pseudo-aerial shot obtained in a legal fashion!
Mark returns finished photos quickly and is willing to complete post-shoot editing if necessary.“
“Upmarket Photo is our top and trusted real estate photography company in the Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties! Mark is always our first choice. We know he will take the best photos and drone footage possible of our listings. He is professional, prompt and a true master at his craft. He works quietly and quickly with a skill bordering on genius. Plus, he is very fairly priced. Mark’s attention to detail, quality work and excellent customer service will keep us using Upmarket Photo for all of our real estate photography needs. When our clients see the photography of their home, done by Mark, they are always pleased and very impressed. When our clients are happy, we are happy.

“Mark has been an ultimate professional. He has always gone above and beyond in his photo shoots. He brings a creativity and craftsman-like approach to his work. I highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a photographer.“
“Our experience with Upmarket photo was perfect! Mark is fast, professional and priced just right. His photography skills are unmatched. We’ve used Upmarket Photo over and over again and will continue to exclusively do so in the future. One of my client’s remarked that Mark’s photos make him wish that he and his family were not moving! One client said that she never realized how beautiful her home was until she saw the photos of her home on the Internet. Beyond the more than reasonable fees Upmarket charges, the value for us comes from the attention our listings receive and the fact that our client’s think we’re geniuses for recommending Mark in the first place. We recently went on a listing appointment (a referral from a former seller) and the prospective client let us know that the listing was ours if and only if we used the same photographer that we used to sell their friends home. Mark and Upmarket photo are the best!”

“Mark just photographed our house to list it. WOW! His photos are so gorgeous, they make us want to buy the house ourselves! Mark’s eye for capturing the best angles to show a home’s true beauty is remarkable. He was fast, efficient, professional, and cordial. Additionally, he was respectful of our home and property, moving only what was needed to capture his shot and carefully replacing all items that were moved. We would welcome him into our home anytime. A consummate and talented professional. Our realtor paid him – we don’t know how much – but we’re sure it was worth every penny.”

“Mark is amazingly talented and has the professionalism and personality to match! He got the job done and sent the perfectly finalized photos promptly. I couldn’t be more appreciative of his expertise and kind manner. With a full price offer within 3 days and another over list price just there after-it confirmed that choosing Mark for my first impression to potential buyers was the right choice. Thank you Mark and Upmarket Photo for being my new go-to real estate photographer in Ventura County! I’ve already sent over my first referral, with many more to come!”

“Just want to let you know how much my husband and I appreciate your efforts on our behalf! We were so blown away at the quality of the pictures you took of our home! It truly made a huge difference in helping to sell our house. Not only were we very happy with the quality and beauty of the pictures, but we also appreciate your quick response to our request in having the work done. You were professional, and easy to work with, taking your time to make sure that everything was done perfectly. It would be nice if every business were run the way yours is! Take care, and again, thank you!”

“We hired Mark to shoot our Vacation Home. He was great to work with. He was patient and cheerful with my requests. I followed him around because I had specific ideas and he was very gracious. Mark took several shots and spent the time to do each one right. He even climbed up onto our roof to get the view of the ocean. Mark pays attention to the details. Nothing is out of place in the photos. I will be using Upmarket Photo again on our next home.“
– Joanna F. Vacation Rental Owner.
“Mark does exceptional work and is really easy to schedule and collaborate with. We have used him for the last three years as our only pro photographer for vacation rentals and real estate.“
