Soulmates · Bath city centre
For the love that runs
deeper than words.
A private couples portrait experience in the heart of Bath. Professional hair and makeup for both of you, expert direction, and artwork that lives in your home as permanent proof of what you have built together.
This is not a couples photograph.
This is proof of everything
you are to each other.
Most couples have hundreds of photographs of themselves. Holidays, birthdays, the usual moments. What they rarely have is a portrait that shows them as they truly are together. The closeness. The chemistry. The particular way they exist in the same space.
The Soulmates experience is a full day in a private studio, just the two of you, unhurried and completely looked after. The result is artwork that earns a permanent place on your wall. Not because it is beautiful, though it will be. But because it is true.
Every love story has a chapter
that deserves to be celebrated.
There is no right reason to do this. There is only the love that deserves a permanent record.
The couple celebrating a milestone
An anniversary. Ten years, twenty-five, forty. A chapter that deserves something more lasting than a dinner out. A portrait that marks exactly who you are to each other now.
The couple who came through something
Illness. Loss. A year that tested everything you had. You are still here, still together, and that deserves to be marked in something permanent. Not a celebration of the difficulty. A celebration of the love that survived it.
The couple marking a new beginning
An engagement. A move. Children leaving home and the two of you finding each other again. A new chapter that deserves a portrait of who you are as you step into it.
The couple who simply wants a day for themselves
No reason needed. A day that is entirely about the two of you, privately and without interruption. A gift to each other. Artwork that will outlast the occasion that prompted it.
A day that belongs
entirely to the two of you.
The Soulmates experience takes place in a completely private studio in Bath city centre. No other clients. No other bookings. Just the two of you, looked after from the moment you arrive.
Both of you receive professional hair and makeup before the session begins. Ashley directs every moment of the shoot, finding the poses and the light that show exactly who you are together. You will never be left wondering what to do.
The result is a private portrait session of a quality and intimacy that most couples have never experienced, and artwork they will still be looking at in thirty years.
"We have been together for twenty-two years. We have never had a photograph that looks like what we actually are to each other. Until now."Michael & Stella · Bath
How the day
unfolds.
Private, unhurried, and built entirely around the two of you.
You arrive.
We take care of everything.
You are welcomed at the studio and shown around together. We take time to talk about your vision for the day, the looks you have in mind, and what you would love to feel when you leave with your artwork in hand.
Prosecco is waiting. The studio is entirely yours.
No rushing. No schedule beyond yours. This day has been reserved for the two of you and nobody else.
Professional hair and makeup.
For both of you.
Both partners receive professional hair and makeup before the session begins. Our artist brings the most luminous, confident version of each of you to the surface.
This is not a standard makeover. It is preparation for the most beautifully lit portrait either of you has ever been in.
We talk through looks and wardrobe together beforehand so you both arrive knowing exactly what you are wearing and why.
The shoot.
Just the two of you.
Ashley directs you through the session with warmth and patience, finding the poses and the moments that show who you actually are together, not who you think you should be in a photograph.
The studio is completely private. There is nobody else present. You can be entirely yourselves.
"We forgot Ashley was even there. It felt like the most natural thing in the world."
The reveal.
The moment it becomes real.
Your private viewing and design consultation takes place the same day or at a separate appointment. You see your images together for the first time in a calm, unhurried setting.
You choose your collection together. Your artwork leaves the studio in our signature ribbon packaging, ready to go straight to its permanent home.
"Seeing ourselves on the screen together was completely overwhelming. In the best possible way."
"Every day when we walk past it, we remember exactly what we are to each other."
Your collection. In your home. A permanent record of your love.
Your experience,
for both of you.
The studio experience fee is £250 for both of you and covers everything you need to arrive and be completely looked after. Your artwork collection is chosen together at your design consultation.
Payment plans are available as a convenience. The experience is also available as a gift for someone you love.

What couples
usually want to know.
The discovery call is where we talk through everything specific to your relationship and your vision. These are the questions that come up most often before that conversation.
Book a discovery call-
Is this experience only for couples in a romantic relationship?
+The Soulmates experience is designed for any two people whose connection deserves to be permanently recorded. That includes romantic partners of any kind, but it also works beautifully for a mother and daughter, two best friends celebrating a milestone, or any two people who want to mark the depth of their bond. If the love runs deeper than words, this experience is for it.
-
How intimate does the session need to be?
+Entirely up to you. The session can be as tender and intimate or as warm and playful as feels right for your relationship. Ashley will discuss your vision during the discovery call and again on the day itself, and will direct you into poses and moments that feel natural for the two of you. Nothing is ever pushed and nothing is ever assumed. You set the tone and we follow your lead.
-
What should we wear?
+We help you plan your wardrobe together before the day. Most couples bring a couple of coordinated looks, something relaxed and personal and something a little bolder or more dressed up. The key is that both of you feel comfortable and confident. We send a full preparation guide once you book and talk through your looks in advance so there are no surprises on the day.
-
One of us is nervous about being photographed. Will that matter?
+This is the most common thing we hear. Ashley has spent years working with people who are convinced they do not photograph well, and her skill is in finding the version of each person that the camera loves. The direction is patient, unhurried, and always with humour. Having your partner in the room with you is also one of the most natural relaxants in the world. You will both surprise yourselves.
-
Can we give this as a gift to another couple?
+Yes, and it makes a truly extraordinary gift. Gift vouchers cover the full studio experience fee for both people. The recipients book their own date and arrive to find everything prepared for them. It is the kind of gift that people talk about for years. Get in touch via the discovery call enquiry and we will take care of everything.
-
How much does the experience cost?
+The studio experience fee is £250 for both of you together. This covers the full day including professional hair and makeup for both partners. Your artwork collection is chosen at your private design consultation. We talk through investment fully on your discovery call. Payment plans are available as a convenience.
Your love deserves
