Absolutely incredible THANK YOU

We are so so pleased we found Sophie for our wedding photography, we couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful photographer from start to finish. From the moment I saw Sophie’s photos on Instagram I knew she was right for us, and we didn’t need to look any further, Sophie was the only photographer we approached and we have no regrets! Sophie was absolutely lovely and communicated wonderfully from the beginning, was super efficient, and listened to what we wanted. As a couple who just wanted to enjoy our day without it being at all like a photoshoot, and neither of us much into posing for photos, we were a little worried about having a photographer at all but knew we wanted to capture memories of our day. Sophie absolutely understood and produced the most beautiful photos of us just having the happiest of times with our family and friends. She made us feel completely at ease, somehow captured every moment of the whole day (she must have been everywhere at once!) and was an absolute magician at getting the loveliest candid shots. Sophie was also just the most kind and lovely person to have there at our wedding, and worked tirelessly behind the scenes. We love every single one of our hundreds of photos and will cherish the happy memories. Thank you again Sophie, your work is incredible THANK YOU xx

The most beautiful photos!

I am obsessed with my photos from Sophie! She absolutely nailed it, they are all so beautiful and natural. I would so highly recommend Sophie, she is so easy and friendly and blends right in to every scenario, but also is helping you out the whole time with any adjustments, dress fixes etc. and the photos are amazing and came so quickly! All the guests are in awe.

Gorgeous photos and commanding but thoughtful presence

Sophie brought out the best in us on our wedding day, with top tips for getting the best couple and group shots as well as keeping us relaxed and candid as much as possible.

She was respectful in her manner in the church for our ceremony and thought on her feet despite the weather.

We would recommend her to anyone!

5.4.24 Wedding Photography

Sophie was just wonderful from the minute she walked into myself and my bridesmaids getting ready in the morning to the moment she left after our first dance. She was calm, friendly and just went with the flow. She made a real effort to capture photos honouring my late Mum. Sophie has a great sense of humour and this made us all feel relaxed and at ease. It was great that it didn’t feel like we had a photographer as she just fitted right in and went with more in the moment, natural shots. My favourite bit was when she could see me getting fed up of family photos and demanded somebody buy me a drink haha! We have had our previews already and LOVE them as do our friends and family. We would highly recommend Sophie! Thanks again,
