The One Thing Missing
From Every Wedding.
Guests are the heart of every wedding, and almost none of them are ever formally photographed. The Monochrome Guest Portrait Salon changes that.
"Guests are the one element of a wedding that's never formally photographed, and couples always wish they were."
What Is the Monochrome Guest Portrait Salon?
It's the one thing missing from every luxury wedding, and the most memorable gift you can give your clients.
Guests are the one element of a wedding that's never formally photographed, and couples always wish they were. The Monochrome Guest Portrait Salon is a fixed two-hour portrait station that runs silently during cocktail hour. Shot on a Leica M11 Monochrom, a dedicated black-and-white camera that produces a tonal quality that simply cannot be replicated in post production.
"This isn't second shooting. It isn't coverage overlap.
It's a completely self-contained fine art experience that runs parallel to your work."

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this second shooting?
No. This is a completely self-contained experience. Marc operates his own fixed station, does not roam the event, does not interact with your coverage, and does not hand out cards or solicit guests in any way.
Why should I trust Marc with my clients?
Marc has photographed over 750 weddings and is trusted by some of the world's most recognized brands, including Sony, The Irvine Company, Bank of America, Westfield, Berkshire Hathaway, and Hyatt Hotels, for their commercial photography needs. His work has been published in the Wall Street Journal, Food & Wine, and Wine Spectator. Year after year, he delivers on his promises, exceeds expectations, and consistently comes in before deadline. When the stakes are high, Marc is the photographer brands return to.
Does Marc still photograph weddings?
No. While Marc photographed over 750 weddings throughout his career, he no longer takes on wedding photography. His focus today is exclusively on headshots, personal branding, and commercial photography. The one exception is his curated Monochrome Guest Portrait Salon project. You can engage Marc's services with complete confidence that he will never compete for your business.
What if my client or a guest asks who Marc is?
You can introduce the Monochrome Guest Portrait Salon however you like, or say nothing at all. Marc is accustomed to operating without explanation and will never identify himself as anything other than what you've briefed. The language is entirely yours to frame.
What if my couple wants to book Marc directly after the wedding?
Marc does not accept direct bookings from couples introduced through a photographer relationship. Any inquiry that comes back to him is returned to you. Your referral is protected permanently, not just for the wedding it originated from.
Is Marc insured and approved at luxury venues?
Yes. Marc carries a two million dollar general liability policy and can provide a Certificate of Insurance to any venue upon request. He handles his own credentialing and venue approval process, so you will never be put in the position of managing that on his behalf.
Will my client know Marc is a separate photographer?
Only if you choose to tell them. The service is offered entirely under your brand. Marc operates invisibly, his name appears nowhere on the work or the deliverables.
What does Marc actually deliver and when?
60 to 150 fully edited fine art black-and-white images, delivered directly to you within seven days of the wedding. You then deliver them to your client under your own brand.
How does pricing work?
You package the Monochrome Guest Portrait Salon as a luxury add-on at $3,000 (suggested retail). You pay Marc $2,000. You keep $1,000 with zero additional workload.
Does this work at any size wedding?
The Monochrome Guest Portrait Salon is best suited for weddings with 75 or more guests, where the two-hour station during cocktail hour creates meaningful volume and a genuinely impressive archive for your client.
How many photographers are you partnering with?
Marc is working with a select group of luxury wedding photographers. If you're interested, the time to reach out is now.
Can I see Marc's work before recommending this to a client?
A complete portfolio review is available upon request and is part of the introductory call. Marc's wedding work spans some of the most distinguished venues and destinations in the world. The aesthetic speaks for itself.
