About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2023

Last update: March 2026

J Photography is a wedding photographer based in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, capturing weddings across the region and throughout the UK. Jay’s approach is rooted in candid, natural storytelling — focusing on real moments as they unfold rather than anything overly staged or forced. The result is a collection of images that reflect not just how the day looked, but how it truly felt.

Jay regularly photographs weddings at many of North Yorkshire’s most popular venues, including Hackness Grange in Hackness, near Scarborough, and his familiarity with the venue allows him to work confidently, unobtrusively, and with an understanding of how the day naturally flows. From quiet, in-between moments to the energy of the celebrations, every wedding is approached with care, calm professionalism, and attention to detail.

Alongside photography, J Photography also offers combined photography and videography coverage, allowing couples to arrange everything in one place. This provides a seamless, well-coordinated experience while keeping the focus firmly on natural storytelling and relaxed coverage. Photography-only and photography-and-videography packages are available, with coverage across Scarborough, North Yorkshire, and further afield by request.

Jay is an absolute star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I truly can’t recommend Jay enough, not only did he capture our day wonderfully but he captured the vibe & feeling with his photographs too! He put us at ease and gave us suggestions/poses whenever we needed them and always knew what was going on in the day working effortlessly with both my coordinator & content creator too, I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Jay to anyone else still looking for a photographer for their big day!

Absolute Superstar

We had our engagement photos with Jay in October and couldn't be happier. We were super nervous to start, but Jay made us feel instantly relaxed and at ease.
We felt like we could totally trust his vision and just let him get the shots he wanted. What really made the day for us were the great chats about Pokémon and Borderlands—it felt more like hanging out with a friend than a formal shoot!
The pictures are incredible, and we are so excited to have Jay capture our wedding this June. Highly recommend!

Fab photographer and help on the day

Jay was absolutely incredible from start to finish. From our first conversation, he made us feel completely at ease and genuinely cared about capturing our day perfectly. On the wedding day itself, he was professional, calm, and blended in so naturally that we hardly noticed he was there, yet he managed to capture every important moment beautifully.
He didn’t just take photos either, he actually helped us so much throughout the day. Whether it was keeping us on schedule, organising people for group shots, calming nerves, or giving little bits of guidance when we needed it, he went above and beyond. It honestly felt like having an extra pair of hands making sure everything ran smoothly.
The photos are beyond what we imagined. Every image tells a story, from the emotional moments to the fun, candid shots with family and friends. The lighting, angles, and attention to detail are just stunning. We’ve had so many compliments already!
Thank you again for everything! 🙌📸

What a photographer!

We first met Jay at a wedding fayre in Scarborough and even though our wedding venue wasn't local to him, this was no issue. We loved his style of photography and he was so lovely, not pushy like some can be! Jay arrived early so he can get a view of the grounds and was just amazing from start to finish on the day. We got 6 pictures before he even left and i knew at that point the rest were going to be amazing. I cannot recommend Jay enough, so if you're unsure, just book him! Thanks Again Jay!

Vegas themed wedding

Jay is a fabulous photographer and wedding jedi, not only did he support us in taking the exact type of photos to capture our niche wedding he also guided us with our planning and kept us away from errors like waiting around and being late for the sake of photos, he is incredibly punctual and he will keep your guests in line to achieve the best group pictures! We would have had a totally different wedding if it hadn’t been for Jay and I don’t think anyone could’ve captured the memories in the same way, we are very grateful for your talent and love for photography!

A photographer with great vision and ideas!

I lost count the amount of times the words “awww” and “I love that picture” was used when we viewed our wedding album from Jay. He is seriously a genius behind the camera. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, Jay really took care of us and made us feel comfortable. As we were based internationally, he made sure all our questions and any concerns were addressed so we could slide into our day with ease. We’re lucky to have found someone amazing like Jay to capture our magical day and hope we can work with him again in the future.

The most memorable day

Great experienced photographer, just made our wedding perfect.

After we got the pictures, we just couldn't decide which to post on social media, because were too many good photos!

Jay has the humour, the flexibility and he has the passion for photography, making him a great guy.

Recommend him not only for taking pictures, but the editing was superb, had the same vibe as the wedding venue.

The value for money was good and he even started earlier to make sure he makes our day perfect, and it was indeed! ❤️

I added some pictures to get a glimpse of what's he's doing 🥳


Many thanks Jay for everything!

Wedding photos

Jay was absolutely brilliant on our wedding day. There was a perfect mix of time spent between photos and chatting to our guests. As two people who are usually quite camera shy, we felt completely at ease with Jay. The photos blew us away and we are so happy with them! ❤️

What a fantastic guy!

It's really hard to make a decision on a photographer for your Wedding Day. We chose Jay after seeing his work at a couple of Wedding events and was really impressed! We are so glad we made this decision and can't fault him at all. He listened to what we wanted and didn't stop working hard all day. He is amazing photographer and a really great guy. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to capture their special day. We can't thank you enough Jay 😊
