About the Photographer

Mark Maya Films and Photography is a Durham-based wedding specialist whose work centers on honest, cinematic storytelling. With wedding photography and wedding films as core offerings, Mark approaches each celebration as a sequence of moments worth preserving — small gestures, spontaneous laughter, and quiet exchanges that reveal the true character of a day. He prioritises atmosphere over artifice, seeking authenticity in every frame so couples receive imagery that feels lived-in, personal, and enduring. Why choose Mark Maya? His dual focus on both photography and video gives couples a cohesive visual narrative: photographs that freeze emotional, decisive instants and films that bring the day’s movement and sound to life. Mark’s style blends documentary sensitivity with thoughtful composition, producing wedding photos that document rather than stage, and wedding films that unfold naturally rather than follow a script. This combination is designed for couples who want their wedding captured with warmth, clarity, and cinematic attention to detail. How Mark works with clients is collaborative and low-pressure. From an initial conversation he listens for what matters most — whether it’s family heirlooms, a first-look, or the way the dance floor comes alive — and tailors his approach to fit the couple’s rhythm. On the wedding day he moves unobtrusively, creating an easy atmosphere where candid moments can emerge. Mark values communication and calm: he guides when needed, steps back to observe when appropriate, and focuses on capturing the honest emotional arc of the day. Beyond weddings and films, Mark occasionally shoots portraits and fashion work and runs workshops for photographers who want to learn storytelling techniques and cinematic editing. Those secondary offerings inform his wedding practice — strengthening his eye for light, movement, and authentic expression — but his principal commitment remains making exceptional wedding photography and films for couples in Durham and beyond. At the heart of Mark Maya’s practice is a passion for people and the moments that make a celebration singular. If you want wedding photos and a film that feel genuine, cinematic, and unmistakably yours, Mark offers a focused, experienced approach that honors the unique story of your day.
