Mario Spruch Photography

I’m Mario — a full-time wedding photographer from Yorkshire with more than a decade devoted to photographing weddings. My work is rooted in an alternative, documentary approach: I look for the spontaneous, honest moments that reveal the true story of a wedding day. I aim to make photographs that hit the eyes and touch the hearts, preserving laughter, tears, and those quiet, unexpected details you want to remember. Why choose me as your wedding day photographer in Barnsley (and beyond)? I bring both experience and a calm, friendly presence. My style is unobtrusive — I prefer to blend into the day rather than direct it — so couples can stay present with each other while I capture real emotion, atmosphere and narrative. Over the years I’ve learned how to anticipate moments, use natural light creatively and craft wedding photos that feel cinematic yet truthful. How I work with couples is simple and personal. I invite you to explore my full stories and portfolios so you can see how I build a visual narrative of a whole day, not just a series of posed images. From getting-ready to first dance, I focus on connection and feeling. I’m happy to chat beforehand about your plans and the mood you want for your images, and I offer optional pre-wedding sessions for couples who want to feel relaxed in front of the camera before the big day. Based in Barnsley, I work across South Yorkshire and throughout the UK as a destination wedding photographer when needed. My goal is to deliver professional wedding photos that reflect your personality and the spirit of your celebration. If you value an alternative, documentary-led wedding photographer who cares about the story behind every frame, I’d love to hear about your plans and help preserve the moments that matter most. Explore the galleries and full wedding stories on my site to see how I capture genuine moments with an artistic eye. When you’re ready, get in touch — I’d be honoured to document your wedding day in Barnsley or wherever your story takes you.
