UK & International Wedding Photographer
Barnsley Based Luxury Wedding Photographer
I’m Andrew, an award-winning wedding photographer based in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, specialising in relaxed documentary storytelling combined with bold, creative signature portraits — and to top it off, I’m a photographer couples actually enjoy having around!
For me, your wedding day should feel like a wedding, not an all-day photoshoot.
I’ll be there capturing the laughter, emotion, atmosphere and all those little moments you might otherwise miss, while keeping things relaxed, fun and completely true to you. No disappearing for hours. No endless awkward posing. Just incredible memories of one of the biggest days of your lives.
And then there’s the creative side...
When the opportunity presents itself, we’ll take a little time to create those show-stopping WOW images that have become a signature part of Andrew James Photography. From dramatic lighting and epic sunsets to creative night portraits, you’ll get photographs that are anything but ordinary — alongside a gallery packed with genuine moments from throughout your day.
Based in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, I photograph weddings throughout Yorkshire and across the UK, working at everything from luxury country estates and beautiful barns to hotels, manor houses and modern city wedding venues.
Having photographed weddings at venues across Yorkshire and beyond, I know how to work quickly, find the best locations and create incredible photographs without taking over your wedding day.
So, if you’re looking for a Barnsley wedding photographer or planning your wedding anywhere across South Yorkshire, Yorkshire or the UK, and you want someone who'll capture the real moments while creating something seriously special...
I’d love to hear what you’ve got planned.
YOUR WEDDING. YOUR STORY. ANYTHING BUT ORDINARY.
Let's Make Memories That Last A Lifetime...
HEY, THIS IS ME! 👋
I'm Andy — the guy behind Andrew James Photography.
I'm an award-winning wedding photographer, professional third wheel, occasional bad-joke supplier and the person responsible for creating those slightly ridiculous “HOW THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?!” wedding photos you've probably seen across my website.
But here's the thing...
Your wedding isn't a photoshoot.
I'm not going to drag you away from your guests for hours or spend the day forcing you into awkward poses. I'm there to make you feel completely at ease, have a laugh with you and capture all the madness, emotion and little moments happening around me.
Then, when the time is right, we'll disappear for a few minutes and create something EPIC. 🔥
My style combines relaxed, documentary wedding photography with bold, creative portraits that are anything but ordinary.
More importantly, I want you to actually enjoy having your photographer around.
Because incredible wedding photography is important...
But having an incredible wedding day comes first.
Want me at yours?

We hired Andrew and Jamie his Videographer for our wedding, and all we can say is WOW!
From start to finish, they were absolutely amazing. They brought so much energy to the day while remaining incredibly professional throughout. Nothing was too much trouble, and their passion for what they do really shines through.
They were keeping a close eye on the weather all day and always seemed to be one step ahead, making sure they captured every special moment. They were full of creative ideas, but at the same time kept us excited by not giving too much away!
The little sneak peeks they showed us on the day were absolutely stunning, and if they’re anything to go by, we already know our photos and video are going to be incredible.
Not only are they exceptionally talented, but they’re also genuinely lovely people who made us feel completely comfortable and helped make our day even more special.
We honestly can’t recommend Andrew and Jamie enough. If you’re looking for a photography and videography team that brings talent, professionalism, creativity, and great energy, look no further!
Thank you both for everything—we can’t wait to see the final results!

Absolutely incredible from start to finish. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer. From the moment we met, you made us feel so comfortable, relaxed and completely at ease, and on the day itself, you were absolutely amazing.
You captured every single moment so beautifully, including all the little moments we didn’t even realise were happening. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the entire day, and we will treasure them forever.
Not only are the photos absolutely stunning, but you were such a lovely person to have around on one of the most important days of our lives. You were professional, friendly, calming and somehow managed to be everywhere you needed to be without ever feeling intrusive.
We genuinely cannot thank you enough for giving us memories that we’ll be able to look back on for the rest of our lives. If you’re considering booking a wedding photographer, BOOK! You will not regret it. Thank you for capturing our day so perfectly, we are beyond grateful!

I can’t say enough good things about Andrew and his incredible photography skills! He flew all the way from England to capture our special moments in Utah America, and the results were nothing short of amazing. His professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. Not only did he make everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, but he also managed to capture the most genuine and beautiful moments effortlessly.
Beyond being a talented photographer, Andrew is an absolute joy to be around—friendly, dedicated, and truly passionate about his craft. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond to deliver stunning photos, look no further. Highly recommended!
