MEET MASAO
MSP TEAM PHOTOGRAPHER
Hello, friend
Masao has been documenting weddings for over a decade throughout New England. His perspective is informed by a love for the rich, natural beauty of the Northeast and his character as a thoughtful observer. His goal is always to create emotive, authentic and artistic images that both speak to you and make you feel something. He has a particular strength finding unique compositions and angles through which he tells the stories of the weddings he photographs. Masao lives with his wife and three children in the woods and enjoys birding with his eldest daughter, playing strategic board games with family and friends, and channeling his inner Messi on the soccer field.
“You can tell that Masao truly cares about his craft. He was always “on” and looking for creative ways to document our day, and remained attentive to our every need. We are so grateful we chose to work with 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”.
“Masao is simply the best. We will cherish our photos, and also the memories of our time spent in his company. He is a warm soul with a passion for storytelling”.

Team Photography FAQ
-
Great question! Simply put: Carl, Maisie, Abigail and Masao are all highly experienced wedding photographers who have been subcontracted by MSP to expand my ability to take on a larger number and wider variety of wedding clientele. When you book with a member of my team, you will still being hiring Mark Spooner Photography as a business and brand experience, but one of them will be the actual photographer on your wedding day.
-
Absolutely. One of the first things I came to appreciate about my team while working with them at weddings is that we all approach the day with the same care and attention to detail that I do. While each of us has our unique strengths and artistic visions, we are mutually fueled by visual storytelling, and love to document the in-between moments that will color your wedding day.
-
We do! So much so that I’ve even borrowed from my team occasion! All of us are well equipped with all the tools and back-ups we’ll need to photograph your wedding with creative and technical confidence.
-
My team and I have very similar editing and shooting styles, and we collaborate throughout the editing process of every wedding shot for MSP. You can trust that your wedding photos will be processed in a manner consistent with the style you see on this website. Just like any of my other clients, I will take the time to make sure your wedding photos are carefully elevated with timeless edits, and you’ll receive a beautiful online gallery of full resolution digital files no later than 8 weeks after your wedding day—delivered by me!
-
I value the importance of building a relationship with your wedding photographer and want you to have the opportunity to develop that rapport with whomever you work with! For this reason, if you choose to work with one of my team photographers, they will be your primary point of contact throughout your inquiry and pre-event planning. I’ll be sure to touch base along the way to make sure things are running smoothly, but you should always feel that you have a direct line of contact with both your specific photographer and me.
-
Absolutely. Please inquire with us and we would be glad to send you full gallery links.

It’s easy! Once you have landed on a specific wedding package, I’ll draft up a contract and invoice for your review and submission. To reserve your date, I simply need a signed contract and a non-refundable reservation fee. If your wedding requires travel, I’ll also need the expenses paid at the time of booking to ensure travel costs are as quoted. Weddings taking place more than 2 hours’ drive from your photographer’s home will require travel accommodations.
