Planning a wedding is exciting, but let’s be honest — it can also feel overwhelming. With so many suppliers to choose from, couples often ask me the same key questions when they’re looking for a wedding photographer in Yorkshire. So I thought I’d put together this blog post with my honest answers. Hopefully, this helps you get to know me and makes your decision a little easier.
1. Do you travel for weddings outside Barnsley or Yorkshire?
Absolutely! While I’m a Barnsley-based wedding photographer, I regularly capture weddings across Yorkshire and the whole UK. I also love destination weddings abroad — so if you’re dreaming of saying “I do” on a beach in Greece or a villa in Italy, I’m in!
2. How much does full-day wedding photography cost?
My full-day Timeless Elegance package for 2026 starts at £1,299. It covers everything from morning prep through to the first dance, with around 500 photos delivered in a private online gallery. See more packages here.
3. Do you offer both wedding photography and videography?
Yes! I now offer combined photo & video packages. You’ll get my candid, colourful photos plus a 4–6 minute highlight film to relive your day. It’s perfect if you can’t choose between photo or video — you get the best of both.
4. Can we book you just for a few hours or for a small wedding?
Of course. Not everyone needs a full day. My Intimate Moments package covers 3–4 hours (perfect for elopements or smaller celebrations). Extra hours can be added if needed.
5. Do you provide wedding albums and prints?
Yes — and they’re stunning. You’ll have the option to order handcrafted albums, USB memory boxes, and pro prints. These make perfect keepsakes for you and your family.
6. How long will it take to receive our wedding photos?
You’ll get a sneak peek within 72 hours. Your full gallery is usually ready in 4–10 weeks, depending on the season.
7. How many photos do we get from a full wedding day?
On average, you’ll receive around 500 carefully edited, high-resolution photos. All images are delivered in both print-ready and web-friendly sizes.
8. Do you offer engagement or pre-wedding photo shoots?
Yes — and I highly recommend them. An engagement session helps you feel more relaxed in front of the camera and builds a great connection between us before the big day. It’s also a chance to get some beautiful, casual photos of the two of you. You can read more about the importance of engagement photos here.
9. Do you use drone photography at weddings?
When the weather and venue allow, yes! Drone shots can give your gallery that wow factor and capture your venue from a whole new perspective.
10. What makes DS Wedding Photography different?
This one’s easy. My couples describe me as laid-back, professional, and discreet. I call my approach the Ninja Style — because I blend in with your guests and capture natural, in-between moments without being intrusive. You get timeless, colourful, emotional photos that tell the real story of your day.
Choosing your wedding photographer isn’t just about price or packages — it’s about finding someone you trust and feel comfortable with. If you’re looking for wedding photography in Barnsley, Yorkshire, or anywhere in the UK, I’d love to hear your plans.
