Sophie Giddens Photography

Sophie Giddens is a Harringay-based wedding photographer who specialises in natural, unstaged wedding photography — with a particular love for micro weddings, town-hall ceremonies and full-day celebrations. Rooted in a background as a performer, Sophie brings an instinctive eye for drama and nuance to every wedding day. Her signature approach balances joy and stillness: she listens, observes and steps in gently to create images that feel honest, intimate and lasting. Why choose Sophie? Her laidback, people-first style puts couples and their families at ease, allowing real moments to surface rather than forcing poses. Whether you want a relaxed couples shoot before or after a small ceremony, or unobtrusive coverage of your whole day, Sophie focuses on the emotional through-line — capturing laughter, tears, small gestures and the quiet in-between moments that make your story unique. Many couples particularly value her skill with both digital and 35mm film, which adds a tactile, timeless quality to the final wedding photos. How Sophie works: she starts by getting to know you — your priorities, the parts of the day you most want remembered, and any influences or mood you love. On the day she moves quietly through the event, combining documentary-style observation with considered direction when a portrait moment will elevate the story. Her background in theatre means she knows how to read light, movement and expression so that each frame tells something truthful about the moment. Sustainability is woven into Sophie’s practice. Based in London, she prefers public transport or cycling to reduce her carbon footprint, seeks out second‑hand equipment when possible, and partners with clients and suppliers who share her values. This thoughtful approach extends to how she handles images and archiving: the aim is to create a collection of professional wedding photos that you’ll love displaying for years, not just file away. If you are looking for a wedding day photographer in Harringay or greater London who values authenticity, atmosphere and craft — and who can offer both candid reportage and considered film portraits — Sophie Giddens is a specialist to consider.
