The Right People. The Right Approach.
When there’s a connection, everything else falls into place.
Extraordinary images don’t happen by chance. They happen in the space between trust and instinct . Where the people in front of the camera feel happy, at ease, and fully taken care of. A common thread and steadfast commitment from every member of the team.
Mark Spooner’s work is defined by an editorial sensibility, a deep appreciation for aesthetic clarity, and an ability to capture moments with precision and feeling. He is the visionary behind MSP, shaping the studio’s approach to wedding photography with a refined yet unforced style - one that values composition, movement, and the interplay of light and shadow.
Mark’s path to photography wasn’t linear, but he felt the pull early in life. More than a medium, it was a way to make memories tangible - to hold onto the energy of an experience long after it had passed. Since founding his studio, Mark has built a reputation for images that feel as effortless as they are timeless. He understands that great photography isn’t about imposing a vision - it’s about reading a room, anticipating a moment, and knowing when to improvise. His appreciation for design, storytelling, and the beauty of well-made things extends beyond his work, shaping both his photography and the way he moves through the world.
Outside of photography, Mark finds inspiration in the details of daily life—the mechanical beat of a well-crafted watch, the shifting light on the lake, or the true quiet luxury of time spent with family. When he’s not documenting weddings, he frequently escapes to the Adirondacks, where weekends are spent balancing adventure and stillness through hiking, canoeing, or simply watching the fire burn down. At home, he finds that same rhythm on the Massachusetts coast, where he and his wife, Molly, are raising their daughter, Arlo, alongside their bird dog, Murphy. Whether exploring new places, cooking together, or embracing the outdoors, their life is a reflection of the values that shape his work.

Masao
“Not only is his work beautiful, but Masao is also just a lovely human! He was such a calming presence on our wedding day and several members of our wedding party have reached out to comment on how great he was”
With over a decade of experience documenting weddings, Masao brings a quiet, intentional presence behind the camera. His approach is shaped by a deep appreciation for natural beauty and a keen eye for composition - always searching for the perspective that tells the story best. Thoughtful and observant, he captures images that feel expressive but honest, ensuring each wedding collection resonates with meaning. He lives in a wooded corner of New England with his wife and three children, where life moves at a slower pace. When he’s not on location, he finds joy in birding with his eldest daughter, playing strategic board games with family and friends, and embracing the outdoors.
Ashlyn
“Her attention to detail is unmatched and kept our day running smoothly from the moment she arrived. We are absolutely IN LOVE with our wedding gallery, as well as our engagement shoot, and owe it all to Ashlyn”
Ashlyn is an observant, steady presence on a wedding day—balancing composed portraits with candid moments that feel effortless. With over 100 weddings photographed across the US and internationally, she knows how to create an atmosphere where couples can be themselves, whether in a quiet pause before the ceremony or deep in the rhythm of the dance floor. A background in fast-paced hospitality means she thrives in the movement of the day—keeping things calm when needed and blending seamlessly into the energy when the moment calls for it.
Abigail
“Abigail felt more like a friend than a photographer. She made me feel so much more at ease, and I could have never imagined the day without her! I’d recommend her over and over again”
A SCAD-trained photographer with a love for film and editorial storytelling, Abigail is drawn to the way light, texture, and movement bring images to life. She gravitates toward the quiet in-between moments and the energy of a celebration in full swing—always seeking to capture people as they truly are. Weddings, for her, are a study in anticipation and joy, and she approaches each one with an artist’s eye and a documentarian’s instinct.
Maisie
“Her personality is warm and delightful, her organization and planning skills are outstanding, and her photography is exceptional. Maisie made us feel like we were lifelong friends of hers from the moment we met.”
Maisie has a down-to-earth approach and a keen eye for the unscripted—big laughs, bear hugs, and the kind of fleeting moments that often go unnoticed. With a background in interior design and cinematography, she brings a natural sense of composition and ease to every frame. For her, wedding photography isn’t about perfect poses—it’s about preserving the way the day felt, so years from now, you can flip through your images and be transported right back.
A great team is built on more than technical skill - it’s about instinct, kindness, and the ability to move seamlessly through a wedding day. Each MSP photographer is selected for their artistry and trained to work with discretion. Uplifting those around them, they each possess an intuitive understanding of the moments that matter most.
The Team
Mark and the MSP team intentionally limit annual bookings to ensure every wedding is approached with full creative capacity, attention, and care. This is not a volume-driven studio, rather a collective approach designed to ensure each celebration is treated with the thoughtfulness it deserves.
