It was so lovely to meet so many wonderful couples at the Little Wold Vineyard Wedding Fair this January. We loved hearing about your wedding plans and spending time chatting through what matters most to you on your wedding day, and how we might capture it in our natural, relaxed and beautiful way. A big thank you to everyone who stopped to say hello, it was such a pleasure to meet you all. Huge thank you as well to Little Wold Vineyard for hosting such a lovely event.
Below you’ll find a special range of packages only availabe to everyone who attended the wedding fair. These are available to you whether you’re getting married at Little Wold or somewhere else.
Four-time winners UK Photographer Of The Year
We’re a married couple ourselves, and over the years our work has been recognised with a number of national and international awards. Because of this, we’re now invited to speak at photography conferences around the world as educators and mentors in wedding photography. It still feels pretty surreal and very humbling for two photographers from East Yorkshire, but we’re incredibly proud of the journey it represents.
Nationally, we’ve been named UK Wedding Photographer of the Year by TWIA, Masters of Wedding Photography, and This Is Reportage Photographer Of The Year twice. That makes us four-time winners of the UK Wedding Photographer of the Year title. A selection of our national and international awards is shared below. If you choose us to photograph your wedding, you’re choosing photographers whose work is recognised not just locally, or across the UK, but internationally too. More importantly, you’re choosing two people who care deeply about telling your story honestly and thoughtfully.
Why we love Little Wold Vineyard
We’ve had the pleasure of photographing many weddings at Little Wold Vineyard over the years, first working there back in 2016. It really is a venue we really love returning to time and again. The relaxed, rustic feel, the open countryside views and the warmth of the space inside all lend themselves beautifully to a wedding day that feels full of real moments. Every wedding we’ve photographed at Little Wold has felt completely different, shaped by the people, the pace of the day and the way the space is used. It’s a wedding venue that gives couples the freedom to make the day their own, which is something we value hugely.
If you choose Little Wold Vineyard for your wedding, you’ll be choosing an incredible venue run by a truly lovely family and a team who care deeply about what they do. They create an atmosphere where you can relax, enjoy yourselves and trust that everything is being looked after, which makes all the difference on the day.
Wedding photography is an investment
We believe wedding photography is one of the most important investments you can make for your wedding day because the memories it captures last a lifetime. The cake will be eaten, the flowers will fade, and the decorations will be packed away, but your photographs remain as a lasting reminder of the emotions, connections, and beauty of the day.
That is why we recommend investing in the very best wedding photography you can. When you choose us, The Mateers, you are choosing award winning photographers who care deeply about capturing your day with artistry and authenticity. We take real pride in creating images that tell the true story of your wedding in a way that feels natural, honest, and full of heart. Here is a behind the scenes shot of Hollie photographing a beautiful local wedding.
Frequently asked questions
Have you shot our venue before?
We travel all around the world with our job, and we feel incredibly lucky to be able to do that. Recently, over the course of a few weeks, we shot in Athens one weekend, London the next, then the Lake District, before heading back to Yorkshire and finally to Cyprus. This year we are heading to France, Italy and all around the UK. We are always visiting new venues, and we absolutely love it.
If we have not visited your venue before, we will be excited to see it for the first time. And it’s a venue we already know and love, we cannot wait to go back. So although we highly recommend Little Wold Vineyard (it’s one of our very favourite wedding venues and one of the best in the area – and if you’ve not booked it yet, we cannot recommend it highly enough), we would love to photograph your day wherever you choose to get married. So the special offers below are for you and not venue specific. But before we discuss the special offers, here are a few frequently asked questions.
We love your natural style, but do you shoot group shots?
Yes, absolutely. Couples book us for our documentary photography as it’s something we do like no other photographer. It is also why we have won some of the biggest awards in international wedding photography. Most of our work is completely natural. Beautiful, funny and emotional moments happen at every wedding without staging. Our process is relaxed and stress free. It allows you to enjoy your day, while we capture all the moments that matter.
However, most of our couples still want a few group shots too, and we’re more than happy to take those. It’s your day and we want you to be happy. That is the single most important thing to us. So we’re happy to take the group shots you want – though we promise group shots will never take over your day.
Are you insured, do you have backup equipment, and do we get a contract?
Yes, yes and yes! We have been photographing weddings together for nine years, and we run every part of our business to the highest standards. Insurance and a contract are just the beginning. The incredible images we create and the service you receive are the result of days of work behind the scenes. Please feel free to read our over 150 Google reviews to learn more about the service we always provide and most importantly, the amazing images we always capture.
Do you take couple shots?
Yes! Like group shots, couple shots (or portraits) are completely optional. We keep them relaxed, not a stiff portrait session and no cheesy poses. Most couples want a few moments captured of just the two of them, and we love to take them. Couple shots will not take over your day. We do not drag you away from your party for hours. A relaxed walk around your venue is all we need to capture some beautiful moments of you together.

Some more of our award winning wedding photography
We’ll leave you with a few more examples of our award-winning wedding photography, captured at weddings across the UK and abroad. We like to think our work stands out as a little different. This is because we photograph moments artistically, while still capturing the true essence of every wedding day we’re part of. Our images show people as they really are, and our goal is to tell the story of a wedding authentically. You can see a picture of our Masters Of Wedding Photography UK Wedding Photographer Of The Year trophy below.
We do this by capturing all the humour and emotion of the day plus the tender, beautiful moments, and the ones that were completely unexpected. So, whether you’re planning the most intimate celebration or the biggest party, your day will be uniquely yours, and we’d love to photograph it.
