About Marc
My parents called me Marc. My mother read endlessly and that's how I got the name Marc Anthony Bartolo, which sounds Italian but is actually Maltese. I was born in Toronto, Canada. When I was 11 years old, I started shovelling snow and doing other odd jobs to earn money so I could buy my first SLR camera when I was 12. I bought the "Canon AE-1 " on my trip through Japan. I photographed Tokyo and Kyoto, got to know the camera, and started to discover my love for photography.
At school, I took pictures in the school's photo studio and developed both black and white and color photography in the the darkroom. I marveled at how an image could be enhanced by dodging/burning, using different filters, changing the order of chemicals to achieve different effects. I lived on the Maltese Islands, with its magic to photograph, orange and purple sunsets framed by yellow sandstone landscapes, rough stone architecture, and faces of interest everywhere. After 5 years, my son Gabriel and I moved to Germany. Today Germany is my home. With my wife Daniela I love to travel, near and far, we take pictures side by side, experience the culture, the people, have fun, and laugh together.
When Photographing
our focus is personal. It's about capturing the best of people and their emotions, bringing out the character of the people we photograph, and capturing the moment that is created in its full vividness. In product photography, it is the line and design of the products we photograph, focusing on shape, lighting, shadows and details, bringing to the fore the individual flair of each product.
Testimonials
Marc and Gabriel accompanied us on the most beautiful day of our lives, our wedding.
For our couple pictures, they had a very good eye and many great ideas on how to place us. At the ceremony they both captured the moments very well, so that insanely great pictures were created. At the ceremony later, they skillfully photographed our guests. They created very natural images that perfectly reflect the day.
THANK YOU both, for our next family event you are set again!
Best regards,
Michael & Nicole

Dear Marc, dear Gabriel
We just wanted to thank you again for the great day. We had no contact with a professional photo shoot and were very excited about what was in store for us. The day was really a lot of fun, you really make everyone laugh! Since you photograph our wedding, of course, such a shooting came in handy for us, so that you just get to know each other. Also our first meeting, where we met in person and discussed some details of the wedding went very well and we also felt directly comfortable. Stay as you are, only in this way you are perfect.

At a wedding of friends we already noticed the great photography talent of Marc. When we then planned our wedding, it was clear to us that I also wanted Marc as a photographer for our wedding! After a very nice meeting, the communication before the wedding was straightforward and easy. The pictures turned out just great and we look at them regularly with full enthusiasm.
Thank you Marc & Gabriel!
Vielen Dank Marc & Gabriel!

It was a very great and unique day for us. Marc and Gabriel were very relaxed and helped us with their fun way to relax. We only had a little time for the couple photos and still it turned out very nice pictures. We can only recommend them and are glad we chose them. Thank you so much for the great photos of our wedding.
We had a lot of fun...

Dear Marc, Dear Gabriel,
It's been two years since we said "I do" to each other and you captured this special day in photos for the world to see. When we look at the pictures, we feel transported back to the day of our wedding. All the beautiful emotions we had on that day feel so close again as if it was yesterday. For these magical moments that we have every time we look at our wedding pictures, we want to thank you two from the bottom of our hearts. You took a lot of time for each moment to capture it perfectly and you did it with your full body. We hope that you will continue this "art" of photography. You are always in our hearts.

A photographer like no other.
For our wedding we were looking for a photographer. He/she should be one whose pictures we like AND who is sympathetic to us. It is already a very emotional day and with many intimate moments to be captured. After a first personal meeting, we were already pretty much sure that Marc should be our photographer. Marc put us in a good mood right from the start. With his open and sympathetic manner and his passion, he immediately took us along, he also reassured us that this was going to be a great day, and that he would give everything to capture the moments. After the "business" we sat together for a long time and chatted about photography, vacations, and many other things.

On our big day, we quickly realized that he gives well over 100%. He is not a boring photographer who puts the wedding guests in groups to get his photos. He works with people, takes away the "fear" of being photographed, and is up for any fun. For the perfect photo, he's not above throwing himself in the dust in front of you because the sun is just falling so perfectly through the veil or there's a song playing on the dance floor that has people jumping up. He uses every free opportunity to get his photos here or there. He is not intrusive with his friendly nature and is happy to be included in any rounds of pictures taken.

Marc Bartolo is a unique person who does not lack professionalism at all. Together with his son, whom he takes along as a second photographer for support when there is a larger number of people, they are a well-rehearsed team, and take pictures with a lot of fun and passion. They throw themselves behind the camera in every conceivable pose to take the perfect picture and encourage the guests to laugh into their camera without being too pushy. The feedback from our 120 wedding guests: "An exceptional photographer with whom you can have a lot of fun with”.

We would like to thank you, Marc, and of course Gabriel. We are overjoyed to have chosen you and could not have imagined a better photographer for our wedding. Thank you for all the advice and great hours at the meetings before our wedding, and also for the organizational support up front. Thank you for the heartfelt editing of the images, the video recap of the day, and the lovingly crafted DVDs. If you are looking for a photographer who captures the most important moments almost perfectly, Marc Bartolo is the right choice. He puts in 150% and leaves no wish unfulfilled.
All the best wish Anne & Jens
