Amazing wedding photographers!

We can't recommend Pat and Matt from SoulWays photography enough! They were absolutely wonderful through the whole process - from the engagement shoot to the final edits, they went above and beyond. They were our therapist, pep-talkers, emotional support photographer, wardrobe assistants. Everything! The day wouldn't have been the same without them. They were professional but also personable and became part of the family.

Before the wedding, neither of us were comfortable in front of the camera. Pat recommended that we have an engagement shoot to get us used to the camera. This made all of the difference on the day and it wasn't a strange experience being photographed!

We're delighted with the photos we've received from both shoots. The composition and quality of the photos we've received are just exquisite, they are remarkable photographers with a real eye for capturing candid moments that just transport you right back to the day. If you're considering having SoulWays as your wedding photographer - do it! They're fantastic, not just as photographers but as people.

Our Unforgettable Engagement Shoot

My fiancé and I recently had the pleasure of doing our engagement shoot with Patricia, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. We chose Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens as the location, and it turned out to be the perfect setting—lush, vibrant, and filled with natural beauty that Patricia captured effortlessly.

From the moment we met, Patricia’s warm, kind and professional demeanor put us at ease. She was incredibly helpful, guiding us through every step of the shoot. Neither of us are naturals in front of the camera, but her direction made us feel completely comfortable and confident. She had an incredible eye for detail, helping us pose naturally while also capturing candid, authentic moments that truly reflect our relationship.

Her passion and dedication to her craft were evident throughout the session. She went above and beyond to ensure we got the perfect shots, taking advantage of the garden’s unique features and lighting.

The photos exceeded all our expectations—each one is a work of art that we’ll treasure forever. We’re so grateful for Patricia’s talent, patience, creativity and speed at which she edited the photos and got them back to us. If you’re looking for a photographer who will not only take stunning photos but also make the entire experience enjoyable, we wholeheartedly recommend her!

We cannot wait for to have her photograph our wedding in 2025!

Our special wedding day full of love and shared moments.

Such a fabulous day we had, and Soulways were with us all the way, very discreet and professional, but such a super friendly relaxed pair. When we saw the many photos we were delighted. So much that had gone on during the whirlwind of a day was captured for us to remember and delight in!

Wonderful Photographers!

We hired Patricia and Mat for our wedding reception and daughter's first birthday and are so happy with their work. They really put us at ease on the day, were so helpful and friendly, and managed to work around the not so great weather! They did an excellent job at getting the full set of photos to us in just a couple of weeks, which was amazing considering the number of photos. We would highly recommend!

Highly recommend this fantastic team to anyone!

Absolutely thrilled with the experience we had with Patricia and Matt from SoulWays Photography! From the first phone call to the final photo delivery, they were professional, friendly, and incredibly talented. Their ability to blend into the background while still catching the most candid and intimate moments is truly a gift. The photos are stunning, bursting with colour and emotion, perfectly reflecting the joy and love we felt. Highly recommend this fantastic team to anyone wanting to preserve their special day in the most beautiful way possible. Thank you for making our wedding memories timeless!

Also, for anyone who is camera shy and dreading the thought of being photographed on their wedding day, we had a pre-wedding engagement shoot with Pat and Matt which I couldn’t recommend enough. Pat and Matt were great at easing us into the experience by creating a fun and relaxed atmosphere and providing great direction to make us feel so much more comfortable in front of the camera. Doing this pre-wedding gave us an idea of what to expect and do on the day, removing that fear of the unknown and replacing that feeling of with excitement!

Beautiful photos.

Pat and Mat were both incredibly friendly and made the whole experience really special. My Husband and I are not very familiar to having our photos taken but our wedding was captured beautifully and we couldn’t be more happy with the photos we received. Thank you so much.

Engagement and Wedding photography

We booked Tricia after a friends wedding because we LOVED her work and her ability to blend into the crowd and take those beautiful candid shots! We had an amazing engagement shoot out on Dartmoor, she instantly put us at ease and gave us direction that suited us. On our big day she listened to what we wanted and captured all the specific shots we asked for… she captured all the love and mischief throughout the day and gave us the most amazing wedding album.

Professional & Skilled Photographers

I was thoroughly happy with my experience with SoulWays Photography. They arrived and immediately got a sense for the Wedding and took beautiful photos of the area before guests had been there. Then Patricia came to find me for some pre ceremony bridal photos. We had couple photos after the ceremony and then group photos before the party. The photos turned out beautifully, really captured the day perfectly and they were a delight to have at the wedding. Photo turn around was also very quick, and all our interactions were lovely. Really recommend!

Amazing photographers 💜

We feel so lucky to have found Soulways photography for our wedding. Pat and Matt are both so friendly and put us at complete ease. We had an engagement shoot before the wedding which was a great opportunity to get to know each other and get used to having our photo taken. We had a really fun afternoon together, and the photos were incredible!!
On the wedding day they seamlessly blended in with the wedding party and managed to capture some lovely authentic moments. They were also brilliant at getting the group family photos and offered good direction (which was definitely needed!). We had a bit of a rainy wedding day but Pat and Matt were adaptable and full of ideas and we managed to get some stunning photos inbetween the rain showers.
We were thrilled to receive some of the photos the day after the wedding!
Pat's style of photography is simply beautiful. We are in love with our photos and highly recommend this fabulous pair! 💜

superb engagement photo shoot

From the start Tricia and Matt put us at ease. They were so kind. We hadn’t done photos like this before and wanted to get some practice in before our wedding. They were great at suggesting how we stand, whilst still making it feel more natural for us. We shot on the beach in dorset and the photos are beautiful. Thank you so much!

Great photography and great people!

We used Tricia and Matt for our engagement photos - my fiancé arranged it all secretly and spoke to quite the a few people before picking Tricia. We really loved the photos - and the whole experience that Tricia provided. The photos she took were amazing, and she brought nice flowers and champagne to the shoot to make it extra special. It was such a nice surprise. When I uploaded my photos on Instagram and send pictures on WhatsApp of my engagement everyone loved the photos. My best friend even reached out to Tricia to get copied for an engagement gift - framed physical photos. It was also lovely to spend time with them on the day!
