Sophie Duckworth Photography

I’m Sophie — an Esher-based wedding photographer who focuses entirely on capturing the story of your day. With more than 10 years behind the lens and 300+ weddings photographed, my work is rooted in a narrative-based, moment-driven approach: I look for the tiny gestures, the honest laughter, the unscripted glances that bring your wedding back to life every time you open the album. Why choose me for your wedding in Esher and across Surrey & Hants? I treat each celebration as uniquely yours. I don’t follow trends — my aim is to create timeless, bright and colourful images that celebrate your personalities and the atmosphere you’ve created. I use light in a painterly way to craft photographs that feel both beautiful and true to the day, blending candid reportage with considered moments so nothing important is missed. What makes my approach special is the balance between calm professionalism and friend-like warmth. Couples often tell me I’m their “photography ninja” — present but unobtrusive, ready to catch the unexpected without interrupting the flow of the day. I want you to enjoy being married, not spend the whole time posing for pictures. Whether you want long relaxed portrait sessions or a handful of natural photos before the party begins, I tailor my approach to what feels right for you. How I work with couples is simple and collaborative. We start with a friendly conversation to get to know each other and to understand what matters most to you. On the day I create a relaxed atmosphere, guiding gently where needed and stepping back to document real moments. After the wedding I carefully edit your images with a consistent, timeless style so your photos remain fresh and emotive for years to come. I love weddings for their honesty, joy and small details — the things you’ve spent hours planning and the spontaneous moments you never imagined. If you’re planning a wedding in Esher or Surrey and want natural, emotive wedding photography that tells your story beautifully, let’s have a chat. I offer a complimentary 30-minute call to discuss your day and share how I can help capture it.
