Barnsley Wedding Photographer

I’ve been photographing weddings in Barnsley for almost 10 years. Being a Barnsley wedding photographer has meant that I’ve learnt a lot about holding a wedding in Barnsley; including venues, local suppliers and ceremony arrangements.

I’ve put together a list of popular venues in the area with a summary of what they can offer. I’d be happy to answer any questions you might have such as which venues are great for outdoor weddings, which are suitable for a smaller wedding party and which have the best facilities for children. Please get in touch using the contact form if you would like more information on any of the Barnsley wedding venues.

My wedding blog is full of real weddings, highlighting my natural photography style at a variety of venues throughout Yorkshire. You can see my current wedding packages and more of my work on my wedding page.
