Mark Derry Photography

Last reviewed: August 13, 2026. Business status: Active.

Mark Derry Photography is reviewed here through a current website for MAD Photography, where Mark and Ashley Derry identify themselves as Calgary-based photographers. The page currently names portraits, boudoir, maternity and newborn photography as its specializations.

For people searching for a Calgary portrait photographer, that first-party portfolio is the clearest current evidence available. It also creates an important distinction for wedding planning: the present site does not explicitly advertise wedding photography, engagement sessions, elopements or wedding-day packages. This listing is therefore active as a current photography identity, while wedding availability remains something to verify directly.

Current identity and review status

The current portfolio home page is branded MAD Photography and says, “We are Mark and Ashley Derry.” It also describes the pair as Calgary-based photographers. Those matching name tokens and the stated location provide a reasonable current connection to the historical Mark Derry Photography listing.

The website is a portfolio rather than a detailed service and booking page. It gives a current photography context but does not explain whether the former business name remains in use, whether both photographers attend each assignment, or whether the work is offered as a joint business for every type of session. The profile therefore uses the current website as the official source and avoids carrying forward unsupported details from the older listing.

Services and specialization

The confirmed specializations on the current official page are portraits, boudoir, maternity and newborn photography. Visitors can use the linked portfolio to review the available work and style before making an enquiry.

Wedding photography is not named on the current official page. The old CWG page’s statements about weddings, engagement shoots, second shooters, additional hours, high-resolution files, multi-location work and one-event-per-day coverage are not treated as current services here. They should not be relied on when deciding whether to contact the business for a wedding.

Service area and who it may suit

The official page identifies Mark and Ashley Derry as Calgary-based photographers, which supports Calgary as the confirmed location for this profile. It does not state a travel radius, destination coverage, studio address, neighbourhood, meeting location or any communities outside Calgary.

The documented portfolio categories may be relevant to someone seeking portrait, boudoir, maternity or newborn photography in Calgary. Couples looking specifically for wedding coverage should first ask whether weddings are currently accepted, rather than assuming that a Calgary-based photographer’s portfolio categories extend to wedding-day work.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the clearly stated portfolio focus: the official page names four specific photography areas rather than presenting only a general photography label. It also provides a portfolio link, allowing prospective clients to inspect work before contacting the business.

The practical limitation is the amount of current booking information published. The official page does not set out wedding services, package inclusions, turnaround times, editing approach, image-delivery terms, accessibility information, travel fees, insurance or cancellation terms. This is not a negative finding about the business; it means these details were not available on the reviewed official page.

• Confirmed: Mark and Ashley Derry are identified as Calgary-based photographers.
• Confirmed: portraits, boudoir, maternity and newborn photography are named specializations.
• Not confirmed: current wedding, engagement or elopement coverage.

Pricing

Current pricing is not explicitly published. The reviewed official page does not list session prices, wedding collections, deposits, taxes, travel charges, print costs or package inclusions.

Ask for a written quote that identifies the session or event scope, the number of photographers, hours of coverage if applicable, deliverables, applicable taxes, payment schedule and any travel or overtime charges. For a wedding enquiry, ask whether the quote is for current wedding coverage rather than a portrait session.

Current prices are not published on the official pages reviewed.

Contact and booking

The current official page directs visitors to a portfolio and references an Instagram link, but the reviewed page does not publish a postal address, telephone number or a visible booking form. For that reason, this profile does not reproduce the legacy address or telephone number supplied with the older listing.

Use the official website’s current links to make contact. Before sending a deposit or sharing event details, confirm the business name that will appear on the agreement, the photographer or photographers assigned, the service being booked and the payment recipient. A current reply is also the best way to verify whether the portfolio is accepting new work.

What couples should confirm

Couples considering this listing for a wedding should begin with the central question: does MAD Photography currently offer wedding photography, and if so, what form of coverage is available? Ask whether an engagement session, pre-wedding portrait session or boudoir session is offered separately from wedding-day coverage.

If wedding coverage is available, request a current portfolio relevant to the planned type of celebration and confirm the number of photographers, expected coverage hours, delivery format and timing, backup arrangements, travel policy, permissions for sharing images, contract terms and cancellation or rescheduling provisions. These are booking questions to clarify directly, not services confirmed by the reviewed page.
