Awaken Images Full Description

We are father-and-son photographers specialising in weddings. Our unique approach means you always get a mix of formal and the increasingly popular style of candid photos. One of our biggest tips when booking a photographer is make sure you're comfortable with your photographer as you will spend a large portion of your day with him/her/them. Because of this we include a free engagement shoot when you book with us! This allows us to have a chat and have some fun before your big day! We would love to be part of your special day! We have three packages: Ruby, Sapphire and Diamond. If none of these fit your day get in touch so we can build a bespoke package for you. We also offer videography too - highlight and full videos so you can relive your day over and over again. Some of the videos can be seen on our YouTube channel. We also have many extras such as a Photo Booth, Drones, albums and a female photographer. New for 2024 we will be adding Content Creation as an additional service. Watch this space. So we are fully equipped to meet your needs!

Amazing photographers

We originally chose Awaken images as they had a great package at a great price then we looked through their gallery and their work was great too. Amazing!! However the main reasons they stand out and I would recommend them to anyone is their ability to put you at ease on your special day, their communication through the whole process and obviously their photography skills!! Thank you Matt and John!

A fantastic supplier to work with!

Awaken Images can provide everything from photography on the day, through to a photobooth in the evening. We always enjoy working with Matt & John, who are always punctual, professional and friendly throughout a wedding day, and we highly reccomend them!

Beautiful images and friendly photographers

Matt and John were the perfect photographers at our recent wedding. Not afraid to socialise and direct guests, but friendly and approachable. They were subtle in taking shots of the ceremony and reception, and personable when taking more intimate couple shots. Throughout the planning process they were always on hand for questions, and took a real interest in the day. Would 100% recommend.

Amazing photographers!

Matt and John were amazing! They made us feel so comfortable, which was great as we both hate having our photo taken. The photos we received from our engagement shoot and wedding were fantastic! Thank you so much!

Absolutely superb.

They were fantastic from the get go. They bent over backwards to ensure my wife and I had a fantastic day and that everything was captured. They delivered everything that we asked and more which made for some beautiful photos to remember our special day. I couldn't recommend them highly enough. Absolutely superb.

they were perfect and the pictures were more than

Matt and John were so understanding to what we wanted they were so professional I loved all they did I have no comments to improve they were perfect and the pictures were more than I could of asked for. All of our guests commented on how well they did and how they had everything under control even with 2 sets of divorced families!

What a day we had with John and Matt.

What a day we had with John and Matt. What really impressed us on our Wedding Day was that we didn't know they were there. We laughed during all the formal stuff and the end result were photos so natural and smiley. Awaken Images come highly recommended. Now to sort our albums out. Thank you John and Matt for being part of our day . Barry and Sharon

Matt and John were incredible!

Matt and John were incredible! There are no words to thank them for being part of our wedding day. From start to finish they were dedicated, patient, organised and went above and beyond for us. We also hired their glitterbooth which went down very well with all the evening guests. We already know from the previews we have seen that the photos are going to be outstanding. We couldn’t recommend these guys enough and we know we picked the perfect photographers for the job. Thank you both for all your hard work throughout the whole day- we will hold you both close in our hearts for the rest of our lives.

FAQs

Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

There are so many, BUT one which sticks in the mind is one where the wedding reception was near to the couples "local". They wanted "to go for a pint", so after the romantic pictures we went to the pub with just the happy couple and shared a pint with them as if we were good friends and had known them for ages.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Relaxed, unobtrusive, documentary, natural, fun

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Pre-wedding shoot. Get to know your photographer and their style. Your photographer is going to spend most of the day with you, so the more comfortable you are the better the images will be.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Following the initial enquiry we like to have a zoom call to discuss the day and so the couple can get to know us and vice versa. All our full day packages include a free pre-wedding or anniversary shoot so if the pre-wedding shoot is selected we will arrange that shoot which allows the couple to get to know us, our style and to feel comfortable in front of the camera. We send out T&Cs and questionnaire once the couple book with us. About 2/3 weeks before the big day we meet with the couple/have a zoom call to discuss the day, shot list etc...

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

Confetti shot

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

Wedding rings on the couples young baby's toes, pre ceremony. Adorable.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Take the images inside or use umbrellas. They make great props.
