BEST Santa ever!!

This Santa is a true professional! As a photographer he made my job so much easier, I didn’t have to direct him on what to do, he just knew what to do and made all the kids have the BEST experience! I know each family will cherish the pictures and experience they had with Santa for a lifetime!

About

Meet Santa of the South
Santa Mark is a real bearded professional Santa Claus and Easter Bunny for hire in Southeastern Georgia and Northeastern Florida. He has a full white beard and hair, rosy cheeks, and twinkling eyes. It has been said of Santa Mark that he is "magical" and "would convince any and all doubters." He takes special care in his appearance even when not in his Claus Robe and shows attention to even the smallest details such as the “Magic Key” he carries on his belt and the North Pole coins he carries in his pocket.
Santa Mark is kind and full of laughter with a great love for people, especially children. He has been married to Mrs. Claus for 35 years and has 2 children. Children who meet and engage with Santa Mark are mesmerized by his genuineness. They absolutely love his willingness to play games with them from throwing rocks into the water to spinning like helicopters on the beach. He loves Christmas and finds great joy in making Christmas special for others any time of the year. He is the Santa of choice for Wolfson’s Children’s Hospital in Jacksonville Florida and has worked with Special Needs Children from Downs Syndrome to children on varying levels of the Spectrum. His attention to these children is unmatched!
​Santa Mark has a current background check on file and is insured. More information can be provided upon request.

Additional booking notes

If your event is going to be held in auditorium or larger event venue, please ensure adequate sound amplification equipment is set up and tested prior to Santa’s arrival. Santa asks that there ne cold bottled water on hand, as he is used to the NorthPole temperatures and it may ne a little warmer in the south. If it is a home visit, please no fires in the fire place or have a seat for Santa away from the fire place. Pets are ok but will require an additional $50 fee for the cleaning of Santa’s suit for future visits and children that may have allergies.

Influences and inspiration

When I think of Santa, I think of Miracle on 34th Street! Sir Edmund Gwenn was the quintessential Santa! I also enjoy Kurt Russel’s portrayal of Santa! The 1994 Remake of Miracle on 34th Street is also o e of my favorite portrayals of the Jolly Old Elf. Richard Attenborough was simply amazing in the role of Santa! These are the gentlemen I strive to be like.
