Crayden Wedding Photography

Hi — I’m Mark, a Doncaster-based, award-winning wedding photographer with a documentary approach that puts real moments first. Having photographed over 300 weddings, I specialise in wedding photography that feels natural, honest and timeless. My work is rooted in storytelling: I look for those unscripted smiles, hugs, tears and laughs that make your day uniquely yours. I’m deliberate about being unobtrusive. My style is non-intrusive and relaxed — I blend in with your guests so you can enjoy the day without feeling posed or distracted. When we do take time for portraits, I keep those bride and groom sessions short and sweet (I cap them at around 20 minutes) so you won’t miss the party and your photos stay fresh and natural. The result is a gallery that brings you back to how your wedding actually felt, not a list of staged poses. Based in Doncaster and photographing across Yorkshire and the UK, I also travel for destination weddings. Whether it’s a countryside manor, a city ceremony or a sunlit celebration abroad, my focus is the same: create images with a timeless finish and a creative eye. My background in street and editorial photography informs how I see light, composition and candid moments — which helps me deliver images that feel both modern and enduring. Working with me is straightforward and friendly. I like to get to know couples, hear their story and understand what matters on the day. That rapport helps even camera-shy couples relax — many tell me they forget I’m there, which is exactly the aim. If you’d like a gentle run-through before the wedding, I also offer engagement shoots to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera and to build that trust ahead of the big day. If you’re planning a wedding in Doncaster, across Yorkshire or further afield and want a specialist wedding photographer who values authenticity and calm, let’s talk. No hard sell — just a proper chat to see if we’re a good fit and how I can help tell your story in images you’ll love for years to come.
