138: This is Hollie Mateer

Honoured to be joined by our This is Reportage Overall Photographer of the Year for 2023 today: The one and only Hollie Mateer! Not only was Hollie our POTY on our wedding site, but she was also the no.1 UK family photographer on our sister-site, This is Reportage: Family, and we talk about both documentary wedding and family work on today's episode, including: *the moment she found out she had won Overall Photographer of The Year on TiR, *the story behind her unique 'Chess' Reportage Award, *how she captured her 'Emergency' Family Award, *why it's important to not only show the good times when it comes to family photography, *photographing fellow TiR-member Chelsea Cannar's wedding (and winning a Story Award with it, too!), *how she came to work alongside her husband, the fab Patrick Mateer, *why she loves the food at weddings (both from a hunger and photography perspective), *our Netflix synopsis game, *and so much more...
