Why couples choose Sophie Sophie’s approach is relaxed, friendly and unforced. She’s spent years documenting weddings across London, the UK and overseas, and her calm energy helps everyone feel at ease.

Sophie cares more about real emotion than staged perfection; the result is joyful, natural wedding photos that reflect who you are. How Sophie works with you From first contact Sophie aims to be more than a supplier — she wants to be an ally in your wedding planning. Conversations start with a video call so you can share your story, ideas and priorities; if you’re local there’s often a chance to meet in person before the day. On the wedding day Sophie blends documentary observation with gentle direction when you want it, creating a comfortable atmosphere that encourages genuine moments rather than posed performances.
