HI, I'M SOPHIE

ROMANTIC AND STYLISH WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN NOTTINGHAMSHIRE AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE

I believe weddings are about more than just aesthetics — they’re about connection, celebration, and the people who matter the most. My approach is warm, relaxed, and intentional, allowing real moments to unfold naturally while gently guiding you when needed.


I want my photographs to make you remember all of those special moments years later.

 

MY STORY

 

Official member of the Emma Bridgewater addicts club, voice note lover and crime documentary watcher

Official member of the Emma Bridgewater addicts club, voice note lover and crime documentary watcher. I am a massive chatterbox and a pretty terrible dancer. I love snacks and have strong opinions on which crisps are good. My taste in drinks varies from the essential morning cup of tea to a crisp Coke Zero on a wedding day. When not at weddings champagne, wine and cocktails are my holiday choices.


I love to travel and see new venues. Whether it be Yorkshire or Italy I love photographing love stories while soaking up the sunshine.


I have had the pleasure of capturing memorable weddings in a variety of stately homes, marquees on private estates. sun soaked vineyards and even at a royal palace. I am usually a country girl but you can often find me in the city capturing chic weddings in London, Leeds and York.

MY TEAM


Archie

My son who has grown so much now that I am the shortest member of the household, Fiercely independent and stubborn like his mum.


James

My husband, who is also a giant with the biggest heart of anyone I know and my biggest cheerleader. He keeps me sane and always encourages me to dream big. He tells me when I'm being too sensitive and is great when it comes to the big decisions.


Radar

Nickname noodles, A human that looks suspiciously like a black Labrador cross. The sweetest dog and a complete mummy's boy, he is a cheese expert and can hear an open fridge from the other side of the house.


Bertie

An absolute terror who is full of personality and energy but also the best boy ever when it counts. He is the best at destroying slippers and stealing anything that he isn't supposed to.
