Austen was absolutely outstanding at our wedding. He was incredibly professional and totally prepared to do what it takes to get the image! We have a collection of beautiful, candid and genuinely wholesome photographs that will be really cherished forever. He even took the time while I rang frantically in the weeks leading up with ideas of how to keep people together despite the pandemic. We would 1000% recommend Austen and fully endorse him and his at every opportunity we get!
Austen, you made the day even better than I could have imagined by capturing it so so well. Thank you!!

I just can’t believe he got us the shots exactly what we wanted! , I sit and smile to myself every time I see them they are just simply beautiful, epic and elegant pictures for us to cherish forever! im just gutted my wedding journey with you is over but a journey which I will remember I had through my pictures , and I honestly can’t thank you enough so if your looking for a photographer please don’t go no further than this man as he will give you exactly what your looking for.

This amazing photographer is the BEST! Did my best friends wedding on Saturday and wow what can I say. He made us all feel so comfortable with him and his friend around with their cameras. He is more than a photographer he gets to know as many people as he can and makes everyone feel amazing. My daughter who is usually shy felt happy for him to take a picture and she usually shys away from strangers. Thank you so much Austen
— Emma Ward 3rd April 2019 (wedding guest)
Austen is incredible. The way that Austen worked with my new husband and I, not only put us at ease and made us enjoy being photographed but also entertained our guests. He had everyone laughing and giggling and I just know that the photos themselves are going to truly capture a fun day full of love (especially based on the sneak peaks ive seen so far) thank you so much !!!!
— Mrs Adcock 1/1/2019
We highy recommend Austen Blakemore, he did our wedding day 21/09/18 and wow how he works is out of this world, from start to finish he blown us away one with his work but how he speaks and makes everyone of us girls at bridal prep feel comfortable and at ease right through to the end, I can’t thank you enough for what you did that day your just brilliant, we’re super excited to see what you’ve done and so is all our family and friends, can’t thank you enough xx
— Lauren Gaunt 13/10/18
I was at a wedding today and he was the photographer , absolutely amazing photographer and fantastic with all the kids that were there to see their teacher get married. 5*
— Kerry Stapleford 22/9/18
Me and Nicola just wanted to say thank you for your professionalism on Saturday. All the guests commented on how efficient and entertaining you were and we’re eagerly looking forward to the inspiring photos.
— Charlie And Nicola 21/05/18
Austen did our wedding photography last month and the images he has captured are fantastic. We only had a short space of time to get a lot of photos done, he was very efficient and (with the help of Jess) managed to capture some very special moments. We booked with very short notice but he was accommodating and good value for money, enabling us to get both bridal preparation photos and ceremony photos within our budget.
I would recommend Austen to anyone looking for a professional, skilled wedding photographer. The level of service he provides is very good and the photographs he captures are exceptional.
— Ellie And Ollie March 2018
I recently got married and I was lucky enough to have Austen as my photographer. From the moment I met Austen at our initial meeting, he made me feel very comfortable and at ease about what was to come! He’s such a people’s person and knows exactly what he is doing! He really is so passionate about his job and you can tell he enjoys every moment.. always looking to give you that photo that makes you want to laugh and cry at the same time! He did not disappoint and our photos are everything and more.. beautiful, natural and we couldn’t be more in love with the memories that he has created, that we can keep forever. Nothing was too much trouble for Austen.. before the wedding, on the day itself and afterwards. I really cannot recommend him enough! If you haven’t booked him.. you need to! If you are wanting photos, that capture those special moments that you miss and cannot take in at the time.. Austen is the man for the job!! 5* service! We cannot thank you enough for everything you have done! Love from Mr and Mrs Ditch xx
— Mr And Mrs Ditch

— Mr And Mrs Jones

Once again from the bottom of our hearts THANKYOU you were a big part in our wedding we now have amazing memories to keep looking back on x
— Mr And Mrs Dudley
Austen is a very tallented photographer who takes great pride in his job. His professionlism and individual approach to do doing his work sets him apart from any competition. It isn’t just a job for Austen its a passion that shines through everything he does. Quite frankly you would be stark raving bonkers not to choose ABP for your wedding !
— Mr Bulgin
Thank you again for doing such an amazing job we defiantly had some tears and laughs going through these again made us feel like we were there all over again
— Mr And Mrs Gill
I collected my wedding photos this morning and I am over the moon with them. I haven’t stopped looking at them all day! Austen was fab and captured every moment! We have two small boys and quite a few young nephews and he was absolutely brilliant with them. Pictures we will treasure forever.
Thank you Austen!

I just want to thank Austen and his assistant Roxanne for photographing our wedding last weekend. They were brilliant, professional, friendly and put you at ease the whole time. Some of the shots he got were amazing. It was an emotional day anyway for us and he captured that perfectly. I honestly can’t wait to see our photos. The snap chats were awesome and we had such a giggle! Thank you again. We would definitely recommend to anyone xx
— Mr And Mrs Sinclair
What can I say about this guy.... his passion, enthusiasm and energy for his profession is out of this world. A genius with the camera. Shame I cannot rate him with more stars, 5 just does not do it justice, but let his photos do the talking. It was an absolute pleasure to have Austen as our photographer. You captured everything from our day, start to finish, nothing was a problem. Everyone commented how at ease and funny you were! A life time of memories captured by a true master of his art. If you need a photographer, stop looking now and call Austen, he’s ya man! Thanks again Austen!
— David Salway
I chose Austen to be our wedding photographer and I can honestly say not only were the photos and videos absolutely amazing but Austen was fantastic from start to finish from meeting him the first time, the booking process and the day itself. We worried about nothing, even on the day! The interaction he had with the wedding party including children and myself was second to none. The ideas for shots, locations again were so imaginative. You can see the passion he has in everything he does. I would highly recommend Austen for any photography anyone needs.
— Mr And Mrs Lowe
Well Austen, I can’t even find words to cover how brilliant you were from start to finish, right from booking you were always on hand to listen to ideas & shared our excitement about our wedding, then on the day, well wow Austen was amazing to work with, he was calm, kind, funny & brilliant at what he does, the passion he shows is radiated in every single image that he produces, the children all loved him & our photographs have captured the moments perfectly & will last a lifetime, we are so glad we picked you Austen truly we are & we cannot thank you enough, or recommend you highly enough. Every single person at our wedding sang your praises & said what an amazing job you did. Thankyou from the bottom of our hearts xxxxx
— Charlotte Greenway
Absolutely brilliant. So pleased we asked Austen to be our wedding photographer. Our guests all commented on how hard he worked throughout the whole day. There was no shot missed.
We have just collected our images and we are over the moon. A complete true story of our day. We feel like we have just sat and relived it all again. Can’t wait to show our family and friends.
Thank you so much!!
— Sarah Cunningham
What can We say.....Austen from the very moment we booked you, you were helpful, listened to our ideas and went above and beyond with ideas you had been thinking about. A 200 mile round trip & almost 12 hours at the wedding as well as being poorly, you honestly helped to make our day what it was, everyone commented how brilliant you were & that you put us all at ease. Even with the rapidly fading light & having 8 children to capture, you made it look effortless and We honestly cannot thank you enough. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone. Worth your weight in gold.
— Wayne Greenway
Amazing photographer goes to almost any length to get a shot and the finished result is more than worth the price he asked I would recommend him to anyone that wants beautiful and unique photos
— Stephen Baldry
The moment I started looking at your work when we were trying to choose a photographer I knew you were the one for us. Each shot we looked at was amazing and you could tell that a truly talented photographer and taken the images. Then we met you and the passion and confidence that you showed whilst we were at your studio was amazing and it made me want to book you even more, it was one of the easiest decisions to make. Then we had the pleasure of working with you for our pre wedding photo shoot and once again we saw your passion and creativity for your job and it confirmed that you were the right man for the job, the images you gave us from out 2 hour shoot were excellent and made us even more excited for 9 months later when you would be shooting our special day. Then it was the week before the wedding when things had started to go wrong and I got a voice mail off you reminding us that our special day was so close and it brightened up the bad week as I knew that throughout it all we never had to worry about you showing up and doing a terrific job. The morning of the wedding arrived and you turned up all smiles and started doing what you do best, using random stuff in my mums house to capture the best images you could, you were on the go for 12 hours taking shots all throughout our day and getting involved with all the guests which a lot of photographers don’t bother doing. On top of all this as if that wasn’t enough you then put a slideshow together for us at our wedding breakfast and we got to look at some of the beautiful images as we were eating our meal, our guests all commented on how unique and wonderful it was to see the progression of the day. I just want to say a massive thank you for all your hard work I know that we are going to have amazing wedding photos for the rest of our lives and that is all because we chose you for our photographer, it was by far the best money we spent for the wedding. Now we’ve just viewed all of our images and it was like being back there on the wedding day reliving it all again brought back all the emotion from the day and you captured everything perfectly. I’m overwhelmed with the beauty of the images and so thankful that we get to keep these perfect memories for the rest of our lives.
— Mr And Mrs Kirkbride
What a great guy and how talented we were so relaxed around him and you can tell how much he is good at what he does with how much effort he puts in to every little detail.All our guests commented on his talent and how passionate he was.We had such a giggle thank you so much xx Will certainly be recommending you
— Mr And Mrs Upton
I would highly recommend Austen as a photographer for your wedding as he brought so much to our day, not only is he a fantastic photographer but such a lovely, down to earth guy with a fantastic sense of humour and brilliant people skills he definitely put my nerves at ease from the moment he stepped through the door with the help of his assistant Matt. Austen was also brilliant with our children and our son fell in love with him. This guys character is unforgettable and all our guests commented on how much he loves his job and how you can see the love and joy in his face while doing it.. Austen we literally cannot sing your praises enough and you brought so much to our day and we absolutely love our pictures.. Thank you soo much!!!
— Danielle and Ryan
Can’t stress enough how professional Austen is!! Made me and my family feel comfortable and end result photos are amazing!! The effort and passion that went into our shoot was on another level
— Clare Birch
We booked Austen for our wedding back in August. Just been to collect our photos and all I can say is OMG!!!
I have booked Austen before for shoots with my niece and nephew and he has never disappointed. He goes above and beyond to get shots you couldn’t ever dream of. That you so much Austen for making our memories with us.
— Louise & Graham
Austen was truly remarkable at our wedding and his sidekick matt. Never seen a team who is more dedicated to the job. 11 stars if we could, now I’ve seen my photos I can only say wow I’m speechless at how amazing they are, worth every penny and more. If you want a photographer dedicated from start to finish then this is the guy you need to book xxxx
— Gemma and Stephen
Truly wonderful photographer with great passion for his work which is evident in the results which speak for themselves, really managed to capture the emotion and feel of the day and gave us the perfect shots to cherish forever
— Chris Dawson
On behalf of myself and emma we would like to thank you for photographing Evie’s christening, the photos are amazing you’ve really managed to capture the happiness of the day.
Your patience with the children and ourselves was second to none.
Already in talks on another shoot of our princess.
We can not recommend you enough!
Thank you again
— Austen Grimley Emma and Evie
If I could give this genius man more than 5 stars I would!!!! Everyone at our wedding loved you, said you made the photos enjoyable and fun,unlike many other “wedding photographers!” ... I loved EVERY shot you got that you showed me, the passion and dedication you have even down to laying in puddles to get the best shot is admirable and inspiring!!! We love you Austen we do!!!!!!!
Cannot wait to see the finished photos, we know there’s a wait but my god it will be worth it!!!!! Thank you again x
— Lisa Morley
Austen...I have known you for a good while now, worked with you on weddings and used you for advertising shoots and my own daughters wedding. You never ever fail to suprise me in what you do. 4 days ago you photographed our wedding I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t of wanted a photographer if I hadn’t known you so well. In fact we changed our date to include you. You are simply the best man for the job..it as simple as that. Nobody else compares to you and from the bottom of my heart I thank you. I’m am proud to call you my friend and in no doubt to recommend you to anyone who wants a top guy to capture that special moment. Long may our friendship continue xxxxx
— Karen Taylor
A day to remember forever made even more special by Austin. He arrived at our home,not knowing anyone but the bride, and it felt like he was another friend walking in.
As you can imagine 1 bride, 5 bridesmaids, 1 mother, 1 mother in law, make up artist and three hairdressers the house was pretty full and very busy, Austin just blended in taking what have turned out to be amazing shots and memories to treasure.
Look no further for your photographer for your special day because Austin is second to NONE
— Deb Morgan
I am nowhere near a fan of having my photograph taken, so feeling comfortable and relaxed was very important to me. Austen was so kind and passionate that I felt like we were old friends instantly. All of my guests commented on how he blended in and did not intrude in anyway. I have a beautiful collection of natural and posed for shots. I would recommend him in an instant as he is accommodating, professional and inspirational. If you need a photographer, he is your man. Don’t risk inferior alternatives. Pictures help you to retain your memories, to last a lifetime. Thank you again x‍‍‍
— Kelly Newton
Recommend Austen. Austen Blakemore, 200 % , my daughters wedding photos are brilliant, plus he works tirelessly all day from start to finish
