Lifelong photographers, our story began in 2009. We met in Bermuda while on assignment photographing HRH Queen Elizabeth II.

Together we had big dreams of creating a photography business grounded in the philosophy that every aspect of your crazy beautiful life is worth capturing - the small moments, the big milestones and all the wonders in-between.

Love, marriage and a couple of kids later, we consider ourselves lucky to tell the stories of people and brands from all over the world. From lifestyle family to branding sessions and modern headshots - the result is always vibrant, creative and honest portraits that are unmistakably, perfectly you. 

We really should have sent Her Majesty a thank you note!

Words cannot describe how happy we are with our experience with Two & Quarter.
It is so rare to find photographers who are as passionate as Mark and Ally are about capturing special moments in other people's lives. They are genuinely good people and that came through in every interaction we had with them.
