Mark Jay Photography is a boutique Sydney wedding photography studio run by us – husband and wife team, Mark and Leanne. Fun fact: we met at a wedding where Mark was the photographer and Leanne, the bridesmaid.
We are now parents to 3 gorgeous girls and work together for Mark Jay Photography with Mark as principal photographer and Leanne as studio manager.
Our couples choose us because they want naturally beautiful wedding photographs, full of those candid, authentic and joyous moments that make marrying the love of your life so special. Our timeless style is the result of years of expertise in lighting and composition to give your wedding photographs an elegant, elevated and editorial feel. We focus on the ‘in between’ shots that tell the story rather than anything forced or overly posed and the end result is timeless yet modern wedding photographs to take pride in and love forever.
If you’re reading this, it’s likely because you’ve seen our work and connect with our style. However, wedding photography is only part of what makes our business exceptional.
The other part is caring about you and your experience. The reason our couples look so happy, natural and relaxed in their photographs is because they are!
From the moment you deal with us, we are professional and helpful. We will put you at ease in the lead up, pass on our best advice and assist you in any way that we can. On the day, we will be there for you in every way – from calming your nerves to making your photography experience seamless and fun. We want you to enjoy the biggest day of your lives, while we take care of turning all those beautiful moments into memories.
Our couples put their trust in us because they know they can. We hope you do too.

Where do I even begin with Mark and Leanne… all I can say is WOW.
I had saved a photo of Mark’s work back in 2019, hoping that one day we’d be lucky enough to have him capture our wedding – and we did.
From the very first email to our meeting, to the wedding day itself, and even now – two months later – we are still in awe. There are no words to express how incredibly happy and grateful we are to have had you both as part of our day.
The professionalism, the execution, the love, and most of all, the vibe you brought was truly unmatched.
A very VERY big & special shoutout to Mark’s beautiful wife, Leanne, who works tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure everything runs so seamlessly.
The photos are insane – we cried, we laughed, and we smiled so big going through them.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

AMAZING! is what I have to say about my experience with Mark Jay Photography. In the lead up to our wedding, our experience with Mark and Leanne was nothing short of professional, prompt and enjoyable. From our initial consultation to the final delivery of our wedding photos, Mark exceeded our expectations in every way. His professionalism, creativity, attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process. On the wedding day, Mark made us feel comfortable and at ease, especially considering the wet weather, and captured candid moments that truly reflect the joy and love we felt. We are incredibly grateful for Mark’s talent and dedication. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who will not only deliver beautiful images but also enhance your wedding experience, Mark Jay and his team are the one!

Tom and I just wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for the incredible job you did as our wedding photographer. The photos are absolutely stunning, and we’ve been completely blown away by the way you captured the magic, emotion and joy of our special day.
From the first meeting, you made us feel so comfortable and understood exactly what we wanted. Your friendly and approachable demeanour put us at ease, and it was clear from the start that you genuinely cared about making our day memorable. On the day of the wedding you were so much more than a photographer – you were a calming presence amidst all the chaos, and you managed to capture every important moment without being intrusive.
The way you captured the candid moments, the emotions on our faces, and the little details we might have missed is truly remarkable. Every time we look through the photos, we’re transported back to that day. It’s like reliving the best day of our lives over and over again, and for that, we can’t thank you enough.
We’ve received so many compliments from our family and friends about how beautiful the photos are. You’ve truly given us a gift that we’ll treasure forever, and we can’t wait to share these memories with our loved ones for years to come. It’s clear that you have a unique talent for capturing not just the events, but the feeling of a moment, and we’re so grateful that you shared that talent with us.
Thank you again for everything you did to make our wedding day perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer, and we’ll be recommending you to anyone we know who’s getting married. You were such an important part of our day, and we feel so lucky to have had you and your team with us.
Tom + Claudia

Adrian and I want to say a huge thank you (even though thank you isn’t enough) for capturing our special day.
There was never a doubt about going with any one else but you to capture our wedding day. You made the day so easy and fun for not only us but our bridal party and families.
We have had a look at some of the photos you sent through and are absolutely in love. We cannot wait to see the full album.
Adrian + Isabella

All I have to say is WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!
It was an absolute pleasure working with Mark Jay Photography for my wedding and I can’t recommend Mark & Leanne enough! Despite some serious hiccups on the day, including broken-down cars and last minute time changes, Mark handled everything with incredible patience and professionalism. Nothing seemed to throw him off, and he went with the flow, making sure we still captured every moment BEAUTIFULLY.
A special shoutout to his lovely & amazing wife Leanne, as well, who helped keep everything organised and running smoothly behind the scenes. She ensured the day was planned perfectly.
The photos turned out absolutely stunning – Mark truly knows how to capture every important moment. We are BEYOND grateful for everything they have done for us and cannot recommend Mark Jay enough. Look no further for the PERFECT wedding photographer.

I just wanted to say the biggest thank you for being such an incredible part of our wedding day. From the moment you arrived, you brought such a calm, professional and fun energy that made everything feel so easy and natural. You truly helped the whole day flow beautifully, and we’re so grateful for that.
I actually started following your work back when I was still in high school, and I remember thinking even then that one day, when it was my turn, I just had to have you capture it. So to have had you there on our wedding day – our dream day – honestly means the world. I feel so lucky and grateful that it all worked out and that we were able to have you there with us.
Your talent is really special, and you have such an incredible way of capturing moments that feel so genuine and full of heart. We’re beyond excited to see the photos and relive the whole day through your lens – I just know they’ll be absolutely stunning, just as our engagement photos were.
Thank you again for everything. You truly are amazing at what you do!
James + Victoria

We will never forget our wedding day. Mark and the team made the seemingly impossible, possible.
We were very calm and relaxed from the very first day that we met with Mark for our engagement shoot. For someone like myself (the bride), I’m very shy when it comes to photos and prefer to be behind the camera. Mark easily knew exactly how to make me feel comfortable and reminded us that it is the first step to our life together, which is something to be excited for.
On our wedding day, Mark and the team brought passion and liveliness that meshed so well with our bridal party to capture familial and monumental moments in our life that brought two families together. Anthony and I can’t thank Mark, Leanne and the team enough for how every step of the way we were supported. We have now made friends for life!
Thank you for making our special day so perfect!
Anthony + Annaliese

Firstly thank you for everything! You two are honestly the best in the business and we’re so glad we made the decision of going with you both.
As the saying goes, a picture says a thousand words – pretty sure these pictures speak a lot more.
Anthony and I are still speechless by the little snippet you guys sent us of the initial photos from our wedding so I can only imagine how amazing the rest look!
You have both been a breeze to work with, answered so many of our questions with no hesitation and I loved how Mark just knew how to work a room and adjust anything to get “the” shot. We felt completely relaxed all day knowing Mark and the team had it all under control. On top of that we just had so much fun and it shows through all our photos.
We can’t thank you enough for capturing our day perfectly and allowing us to have these memories last a lifetime!
Anthony + Claudia

Choosing the right photographer was very important to us. We were after a photographer who captured natural, candid moments, yet understood the importance of traditional family portraits. This is why it was important for us to choose Mark Jay Photography. We love our Wedding photos, each photo captured, tells the story in that moment – they’re all so beautiful.
Mark, Leanne and their team were professional, friendly, calm and fun. From the lead-up to our wedding day, it was just perfect. So easy-going, yet Mark and Simon on the day, knew the time schedule and what needed to be achieved. They made us as a couple and individually, especially the morning of feel at ease and throughout the day, instructed us on what the next move was, but we did not feel pressured. We were very, extremely happy with Mark Jay Photography and can not wait to have them capture more special moments and milestones in our life! Thank you so much to Mark, Leanne and Simon for making our day so memorable; it was so important and special to us for them to be apart of our day.
Luke + Cassandra

We cannot thank you enough for capturing our day. I knew you guys were absolutely amazing but WOW the photos are beautiful. We couldn’t be more grateful to have one of the best days of our lives captured by Mark and his team. We love all the photos! When we finished looking at all of them we turned to each other and said, “How do we make an album when we love every photo?”
As I was getting my hair and make up done, I started to get butterflies and the nerves started to kick in but as soon as I saw Mark – it’s like all the nerves went away and he just knew what to say and what to do to make me feel at ease. He was not only so professional but he just felt like another family member on the day.
From the bottom of our hearts- thank you! We will cherish these photos and moments captured for the rest of our lives!!!

Mark, Leanne and the rest of the team were honestly amazing. From booking them, choosing our package, doing a pre-wedding shoot, meeting them before the wedding and then again on the day was a great experience. They are so professional! Mark made taking so many photos easy and allows you to have quiet moments together during that time which was beautiful. The photos are all very natural and the whole process was so much fun. It was the best decision to choose Mark Jay Photography to capture our beautiful day. They listened to what we wanted and we couldn’t be happier.

“I knew Mark Jay Photography would be amazing but they just blew us out of the water!
Family and friends were impressed, even our other vendors were asking for copies of the photographs. There was a brilliant balance of candid and posed photographs.
We’ll be having these photographs for the rest of our lives and we’re so happy to have chosen Mark and his brilliant team for our special day. Even prior to the big day, Mark and Leanne were wonderful, we had to reschedule a few times and each time they were accommodating and understanding. They were everything we wanted and needed”
