We are The Wedding Industry Awards Wedding Photographers of The Year for Yorkshire and The North East! A week ago, we were thrilled to learn that we had won the 2020 Wedding Photographers Of The Year Award for our region at the TWIAs. Unfortunately, we couldn’t attend the ceremony in person, so it was an extra special surprise to receive our award in the post a few days later!
Celebrating Our 2020 Wedding Photographer of the Year Award
A week ago, we were thrilled to learn that we had won the 2020 Wedding Photographers Of The Year Award for the Yorkshire and The North East region at the Wedding Industry Awards (TWIAs). Unfortunately, we couldn’t attend the ceremony in person, so it was an extra special surprise to receive our award in the post a few days later!
It is always an incredible feeling when our work is recognised. This year has been especially rewarding, with accolades from This Is Reportage, Fearless, Photographers Keeping It Real, Wedding Photography Select, Wedaward, and Wedisson. Each award is a reminder that our natural, documentary approach to wedding photography resonates with couples and the industry alike.
Featured Across Leading Wedding Blogs
We’ve also been honoured to have our work featured across some of the UK’s most inspiring wedding blogs, including Rock My Wedding, Rock N Roll Bride, Love My Dress, Boho Weddings, Brides Up North, Whimsical Wonderland, and The Outside Bride. These blogs are fantastic sources of inspiration for couples planning their weddings and we feel privileged to be part of such creative communities.
Thanks to Our Couples
Above all, it’s been a year full of amazing weddings and incredible couples. Without these weddings and their unique moments, we wouldn’t be celebrating any awards at all. To every couple who trusted us to capture their big day – thank you. And to those whose weddings are coming up, we cannot wait to document every beautiful moment of your celebration.
Looking Ahead
Winning the TWIA Best Photographer of the Year Award has been the perfect way to close our wedding season. Seeing the list of past winners fills us with pride, knowing we are in such creative and esteemed company. In January, we’ll be heading to London for the UK finals, which promises to be a wonderful evening. Congratulations to all the winners at this year’s TWIAs, we look forward to celebrating with you in the new year.

We are The Mateers, winners of the 2020 Wedding Industry Awards Wedding Photographers of the Year for Yorkshire and the North East. While we are based in East Yorkshire, we don’t just photograph weddings locally. Couples book us because they love our work – not just because of where we are based.
Capturing Weddings Across the UK and Beyond
We have captured over 600 weddings across the UK and around the world. Wherever you are planning your wedding, we’d love to hear from you. Visit our homepage to explore our portfolio and learn more about our approach. You can also contact us here to check our availability. We offer one or two photographers, plus video if required, all delivered in our signature natural style.
Natural Wedding Photography That Lets You Be Yourselves
Your wedding day should always be about you, not your photographer. Every wedding is unique, so rather than putting you in set poses, we let you be yourselves and capture the moments as they happen. Our style is entirely natural and documentary-led, creating images that are authentic, emotional, and beautiful.
No Posing, Just Real Moments
Aside from any group shots requested by you, all images are taken without staging or direction. We let couples and their guests enjoy the day, while we quietly capture the joy, laughter, and love in every frame. Our focus is on documenting the real story of your wedding in our relaxed, unobtrusive style.
