Bumblebugs Photography in Darton is a specialist wedding photographer. Kathryn combines documentary-style storytelling with timeless bridal portraits to create emotive, professional wedding photos.
Bumblebugs Photography is a specialist wedding photographer based in Darton, serving Barnsley and the wider South Yorkshire area. Led by Kathryn, a multi-award winning photographer with over 15 years’ experience and more than 100 weddings captured, Bumblebugs approaches each wedding with care, creativity and a clear focus on storytelling. If you’re looking for authentic, professional wedding photos that reflect the real emotions and unique details of your day, Kathryn is positioned to deliver. My approach blends documentary-style photography with a touch of traditional luxury. I seek the candid, unscripted moments — the quiet glances, the spontaneous laughter, the tiny details — while also crafting elegant bridal and group portraits that stand the test of time. This balance means you’ll receive a full wedding day narrative: natural reportage images that preserve atmosphere, alongside beautifully composed portraits that honour the significance of the occasion. Working with me is relaxed and friendly. From an initial wedding consultation to the final delivery of your images, I aim to make the experience straightforward and enjoyable. I listen to your plans and preferences, tailor the coverage to your day, and provide a calm, reassuring presence on the wedding morning. My focus is on making couples feel comfortable in front of the camera so the photographs reflect real connection rather than posed stiffness. Bumblebugs offers flexible, customisable packages and a wedding consultation to discuss your vision in detail. I understand the importance of getting the right balance between reportage and portraiture, and I tailor coverage to match your priorities — whether that’s full-day storytelling, ceremony and celebration highlights, or engagement and bridal photography leading up to the wedding. Rooted in Darton with close links to Barnsley Town Centre, Bumblebugs Photography brings local knowledge, professional standards and a genuinely warm approach to every wedding. If you value honest, emotive wedding photography delivered with care and creative expertise, Kathryn at Bumblebugs is ready to tell your story through beautiful images.
