Julia Mar Photography

I’m Julia, a Gateshead-based wedding photographer dedicated to telling authentic love stories across Newcastle and the North East. As a specialist in wedding photography, I focus on capturing the honest, unscripted moments that make your day uniquely yours. My style is natural and documentary-led: I avoid stiff posing and heavy retouching, preferring light editing that preserves the emotion and atmosphere of the moment. Why choose me for your wedding? I treat every wedding as its own story. Whether you’re planning a full-day celebration or an intimate ceremony, I work to blend into the background and photograph the connections, laughter and fleeting glances that truly reflect your relationship. My aim is to produce professional wedding photos that feel personal and timeless—images you’ll want to revisit again and again. How I work with couples: I start with a straightforward conversation to understand your day, priorities and the moments you care about most. Many couples choose an engagement session beforehand so we can get comfortable together; it’s a relaxed way to experience how I shoot and to build trust before the big day. On the wedding day I remain unobtrusive, capturing candid interactions alongside key moments—ceremony, vows, and those in-between emotions—so your gallery reads like a natural narrative. My approach to engagement photography mirrors my wedding work: relaxed, real and focused on connection. Engagement shoots are an opportunity to practise moving naturally in front of the camera and to create images that complement your wedding album or announcement materials. I’m based in Gateshead but regularly photograph weddings across Newcastle and the wider North East. If you’re looking for a wedding day photographer who values authenticity, light editing, and a calm, unobtrusive presence, I’d love to hear about your plans.
