Hollie & Patrick - what can we say? You guys are simply incredible. From your whimsical couple portraits to laying underneath a swinging cake piñata whilst a bride and groom bash it ... blind folded, the photographs from our recent wedding with you are a dream. Despite the casual 20 hour day, you both kept smiling and were eager for updates, pro active and provided the calmest yet most fun atmosphere for Tatty & Theo. We absolutely cannot wait to work with you again. THANK YOU!

We hired Hollie and Patrick to take our wedding photos and it was the best decision we could have made. We were floored by how beautiful our photos are, they have a MAGIC eye for capturing moments. We felt like they turned our wedding day into art. And they're lovely people to work with. We can't recommend them highly enough.

Hollie & Patrick captured our wedding day in ways we couldn’t have even imagined!! Looking through our photos we completely re-live the day. We were keen for a relaxed approach with posed shots kept to a minimum. The small details they captured entirely sum up the day for us. They looked after us from beginning to end and we couldn’t recommend them more heartily.

We can't recommend The Mateers enough!! We booked them for our wedding in June 2023. We were so nervous to be on camera but Hollie and Patrick made us feel really comfortable right away. The photos are so beautiful and capture all the little moments so perfectly, in such a natural way. Every time we look at the photos it brings the day back in all its gorgeous colour. And absolutely no posing, which we loved!!! Thanks so much x

We are absolutely thrilled to share our glowing review for M&G Wedding Photography - Hollie and Patrick, who captured our wedding at Northbrook Park in Surrey in May 2024.
From the very first meeting, it was clear that Hollie and Patrick are true professionals, but what truly set them apart was their thoughtfulness and genuine care throughout the entire process. Working with them was a breeze—they made everything so easy and enjoyable, turning what could be a stressful experience into a smooth and delightful journey.
Our wedding was a unique celebration, featuring a Hindu ceremony in the morning followed by a Civil ceremony in the afternoon. This presented its own set of challenges—a long day filled with diverse traditions and moments. Despite the complexity, Hollie and Patrick handled every aspect with such grace and expertise that it felt effortless.
Hollie and Patrick are not only incredibly skilled at their craft but also deeply considerate of our needs and desires. They seamlessly incorporated our vision into their photography, capturing moments with such fluidity and grace that we hardly noticed them working. Their ability to blend into the background while still capturing every significant moment was nothing short of magical.
We were continuously impressed by their honest and thoughtful suggestions, which they provided before and throughout our wedding day. These insights ensured that our day was as perfect as it could be, and we genuinely felt that they were invested in making our experience the best it could be.
One of the most wonderful outcomes of working with Hollie and Patrick is that we not only found exceptional photographers but also made new friends in the process. Their warmth and friendliness made us feel comfortable and relaxed, which is so important on such a significant day.
When we finally saw the final gallery of our wedding photos, we were absolutely BLOWN AWAY! Even months later, we find ourselves constantly revisiting them, unable to get enough of the stunning images that bring back all the emotions of our special day. Our guests have also been astounded by the photos, and many have commented on how beautifully they capture the essence of our celebration.
Hollie and Patrick are a credit to their trade and one of the best suppliers we've ever worked with. Their expertise, consideration, and the beautiful results they deliver have left us with memories we will cherish forever. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for not just a photographer, but a team that will truly enhance and enrich their wedding experience. Thank you, Hollie and Patrick, for making our day so memorable and for capturing it in such an extraordinary way. We are eternally grateful.
All the love,
Megan and Sahil
Using The Mateers was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding in July 2023.They took the most beautiful and artistic photos which tell the complete story of our day. They captured so many different emotions and memories perfectly.
Hollie and Patrick are also incredibly kind people and were an absolute pleasure to have with us on our wedding day. They were unbelievably friendly, flexible and reliable. We never felt that the day was revolving around photography and honestly have no memories of standing for ages having staged photos. Instead, we were able to be present and have fun at our wedding whilst they perfectly captured all the candid moments. And despite nothing being staged we still have such beautiful couple photos too. We love our wedding photos so much and we cannot thank them enough. We would 100% recommend The Mateers to any couple.

Patrick and Hollie, what an incredibly talented and just all round lovely couple. This wasn’t our first rodeo and we wanted images that captured the love and fun of our day. We’re huge festival fans and didn’t want formal or staged photos. When we were researching photographers we came across their work and after our first contact just knew that they were going to be brilliant.
We’ve just had our first anniversary and spent the evening before with a glass of fizz reliving our day, finding new things to laugh or shed the odd tear about. I loved turning around on our wedding day seeing them both sporting a pair of bonkers sunglasses from the selection we’d bought, with huge smiles on their faces.
Thank you both so much for capturing our memories for always. Just book these guys xx

We were so fortunate to be recommended Patrick and Hollie for our wedding photography. The way they captured the sheer essence of our joy-filled day was perfection!
They blended into the background so well, allowing for photographs which were natural, unforced and absolutely stunning - Thank you both! We couldn’t recommend you highly enough!

We are so happy that we found Hollie and Patrick for our wedding photography. We're absolutely thrilled with every single photo. They did a perfect job of capturing all of the joy, the silliness and the colour in the day. We really wanted to relive the day from a variety of viewpoints and didn't want the focus solely to be on us as the couple, and they delivered this exactly. Many of our guests have commented on what fantastic and unique photos they've produced for us. We'll treasure them forever, thank you so much!

We chose Patrick and Hollie as we love their natural and relaxed documentary style photography... and when we received our wedding album we were not disappointed. Patrick photographed our day and captured all of our special, fun and intimate moments so beautifully. We have really enjoyed looking through them with our family and reliving our special day! It brought back lots of lovely memories and emotions.
We are beyond happy with our wedding album from The Mateers. Thank you again so much for being our wedding photographer, it was so lovely to meet you and have you with us. Thank you so much!

Choosing the right photographers for our wedding was one of the most important choices for us and as soon as we came across Hollie & Patrick's work we knew they were who we wanted.
We knew we didn't want staged or posed and from our first conversation with Hollie & Patrick we knew they totally got us. They not only managed to capture all the joy, love and chaos of the day as we remembered it, but their eye for wonderful little moments which totally passed us by at the time, meant that when we received our photos back we got to re-experience the day in a totally different way.
We are so grateful that Hollie & Patrick were able to document our day - on their own wedding anniversary of all days! - and will be pouring over the images for years to come
