We're Hollie and Patrick, The Mateers. Together, we're proud to be four-time winners of UK Wedding Photographers of the Year. As a husband-and-wife team based in East Yorkshire, we specialise in documentary wedding photography, capturing weddings throughout the UK and around the world.

We believe the best wedding photographs aren't created through endless posing or interruptions. Instead, they happen naturally, in the real moments that make your day uniquely yours. Our approach is relaxed, unobtrusive and entirely focused on telling the true story of your wedding as it unfolds, allowing you to be fully present with the people you love while we quietly document everything around you.

From the excitement of the morning preparations to the chaos of the dance floor, we'll capture the genuine laughter, happy tears, fleeting glances and all the moments in between that you may not even realise are happening.

We take the time to get to know every couple before their wedding so you can feel completely comfortable having us alongside you. By the time your wedding day arrives, we hope you'll feel like you've invited two friends with cameras rather than photographers.

Our goal is simple: to create honest, artistic photographs that transport you back to exactly how your wedding felt, not just how it looked.
