Well this weekend saw a big change in the online presence we have here at Mark Hayes Photography. First I did a total 180 degree change on the showit site. www.mhp-studio.com is the new traditional website built with Showit Site from David Jay. The bludomain templates are still in the background – but now…
It’s been something of a tradition over the last few years that I help judge the calendar contest over at the Dumb Friends League, happily this tradition didn’t end when I left my employment after 15 years there this last January. In addition I was honored to help out in shooting the cover image. …
My supplier for studio ordered gallery wraps is offering a sale and I’m passing the savings along. Order 1 gallery wrap and receive 10% off. Order 2 gallery wraps and receive 15% off. Order 3 gallery wraps and receive 20% off. This only applies to studio ordered items and not items listed on the shopping…
The software that I use to create those nice little slideshows has added a lot of new features and the media lab is cutting their prices on some items until December 1st. To make it even better we’ve slash our profit as well in order to get some of these in clients hands. Regardless…
Just a little something for those that think my studio, in a 50 year old school building, attached to a 115 year old church can get a little spooky at times. From a Jchan shoot earlier this year – with a little recent post edits.
In wedding photography referrals is among the primary sources of new clients, but it’s an extra special honor when that referral comes not from a former client but rather another wedding photographer. This was the case with Kristy and Kevin. This was my first wedding at the Latter-Day Saints temple and not being able to…
We have some open weekends for November and December and have decided to open those up to “make us an offer” weddings. If you’ve got a short notice wedding, on a tight budget, but still desire professional coverage, give us a call and tell us the budget. We can’t promise to work with all budgets,…
Since I had a meeting about a potential wedding at Dunafon Castle for next year I went looking at my old blog post of the event from this last July – and noticed that the slideshow didn’t make it across from some reason when I setup this blog and imported everything from the old blog…
I just received an email from my main vendor for gallery wraps and they are offering 30% any single order of up to 3 gallery wraps until 10/31. So I’m going to pass this along to anybody looking to have a recent shoot turned into a gallery wrap. Order will go in one…
Just updated to add that we did fill the three spots on this limited sale. But if you missed out there is a small sale on canvases the entire month of November.
We’ve tweaked the main website about for a different look. Brought the portrait and wedding sides together into a single combined set of pages with a cleaner interface. Looks like everything is over. We’ll be tweaking the images over the next month or two as well as adding a new gallery to showcase some of…
It’s funny – but right now I’m very much regretting the decision to cancel the showit site. There was just something about what they offered that appealed to me I think on a level beyond simple appearance. I might have to re-think this sooner rather than later.

The pictures look great. Kevin and I have been in San Diego this past week on our honeymoon. We will be flying back to Wyoming tomorrow and we’ll definately touch base in the next couple days. Thank you for everything you did.
