They want you to feel special and enjoy the whole process of creating your family heirloom. Because this is their life, they draw on their expertise and skills to tailor each photo session individually to your family. They take time to understand your whole story not just the sound bites.

Nathan's was established in 1903 and have been recycling textiles and clothing for many years. They work closely with charities, local councils, schools, businesses and community groups to recycle over 400,000 kilograms every week!
Maddie & Mark's helps Nathan's by collecting shoes donated by our customers that are then either sent off to developing countries or, if they aren’t in good enough condition to be reworn, are stripped down and their materials recycled. They could end up even as the wiper blades on your car!
For this reason we always say that no matter what state the shoes are if you are willing to donate them, we will always accept them on Nathan’s behalf.

500 Miles is a local charity that supports amputees and other disabled people in Malawi and Zambia. Their particular focus is the delivery and development of prosthetic and orthotic services.

The Muir Maxwell Trust, a paediatric epilepsy charity, aims to make a difference by providing children and their carers with practical support and by speeding up what can be a frustratingly slow diagnostic process.
Maddie & Mark's support the charity by having a Christmas shopping evening for our customers. In May this year four girls from our team will be running The Hairy Haggis, the Edinburgh Marathon relay race, in support of the Trust.
