ROBERT CARTER PHOTOGRAPHY
I am a specialist in capturing the happiest days of our lives... Your Wedding Day. I feel it is important to find a photographer who you feel comfortable with and someone who you can trust to capture your wedding day.
I am a storyteller... an artist... a photographer, who will put you at ease, so you can live in the moment and cherish every memory, as they happen.
So with that in mind, this is me....
I'm Rob and I live in the town of Barnsley, South Yorkshire, with my wife Corinne, our daughter and two rabbits.
When I was younger, I always wanted to be a footballer (what young Yorkshire lad doesn't?), but it was never something I was going to make a living doing. Growing up, I always had that creative spark in me. This led me to become an artist and regularly hung my work in a gallery in Matlock.
When I'm not shooting people, I like to listen to music. Born into the late 70s, I do love a lot of the 80s stuff. Bowie, Queen, you name it, I'll listen to it. I do have a little streak of geek in me too, so you'll either find me running around my living room pretending to be Superman, or sat on the sofa watching re-runs of Game of Thrones.
Our Team Offer wedding photography services in Barnsley, Wakefield, Sheffield, Rotherham, Pontefract, Doncaster, Castleford, Leeds, Huddersfield, Harrogate, York, Wetherby and also beyond Yorkshire. I bring a contemporary and fresh style of photography and a reputation for having a fun and relaxed style. I am passionate, modern and creative wedding photographer and ready to capture your special moments as they happen. I have over 500 weddings under my belt and almost 20 years experience in the wedding photography industry.
I am a regular photographer at all of the leading wedding venues in Yorkshire including Cannon Hall, Rogerthorpe Manor, Kings Croft, Waterton Park, Whitley Hall, Wortley Hall, Tankersley Manor, Cubley Hall, Holiday inn Barnsley, Hellaby Hall, Wentworth Castle Gardens, Burntwood Court and many, many more.
I have also won numerous awards for my photography. All of which can be viewed here

All in all, you wont find a better Barnsley wedding photographer.
