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!

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.
