Elizabeth- A Fairy Tale in the making (Jekyll Island Wedding Photographer)

I got to know Elizabeth and her fiancĂ©, Frank, thru Jessica at Jessica Lauren Events.  Elizabeth and Frank and their family were planning a Fairy Tale Wedding in the Bahamas during a Disney Cruise.  Before she embarked on her journey, Jessica, Elizabeth and I met on Jekyll Island for a very hot, but very fun Bridal ssession. 

Jessica assisted Elizabeth with her hair and makeup and helped make sure she looked beautiful during each photo.  Elizabeth was so easy to work with, and we had a great time exploring the Jekyll Island Club and the many beautiful photo spots we were able to locate.  Elizabeth was a trooper in the sweltering heat and we were able to capture some amazing moments truly showcasing her beauty! 

I cannot wait to take photos of this amazing couple during their ring ceremony following their cruise.  Congratulations Elizabeth and Frank!

Living the Dream! (Golden Isles wedding and family photographer)



Welcome to Mark DuRant Photography's personal blog! I am so blessed by the outpouring of support I have received from family and friends as we embark on this journey of professional photography.  I have taken photos of friends and families for years, but over time, my love of photography has turned into a business!  We have officially been open for business for about 3 months, and we already have people contacting us to take photos for them! It is amazing, and I am so blessed to be able to capture the memories and moments that make life special.
 
I have an amazing family who is supporting me and serve as my models for many photo sessions.  My wife, Kara, is the tech support behind the company- she does much of the social media and daily communication with clients, works on our website and facebook page, assists with editing photos as well as make sure I don't double book a day and encourages me every step of the way.
 
I also have two beautiful children who will appear on my facebook page and website from time to time. My princess:

 
She is my heart.  I am for sure a proud daddy! She is beautiful, inside and out.  She loves to dance, and often asks me to dance with her.  She is currently homeschooled and thriving in that learning environment.  She is a budding photogropher too-- she has even been known to take pictures with my phone of her teddy bears and room. 

Then I have my little slugger:

 

He has the sweetest little spirit, and it has been wonderful seeing him come into his own personality.  He has always been an easy baby, who loves to give lots of hugs and kisses.  I can't wait to teach him how to play baseball- he already loves to swing a bat!
 
That is a little bit about me... I love my family, I love God and I love capturing special moments between loved ones.  I can't wait to share some of those moments with all of you.
