Beautiful, natural wedding photography — without the awkward posing
I am a chilled out Suffolk wedding photographer but I travel all over.
I’m Sophie, a relaxed Suffolk wedding photographer (covering Essex and the rest of the UK too) who specialises in capturing the real feel of your day. My couples are often camera-shy, but I promise you don’t need to be naturals — with a calm, supportive approach, I’ll make it feel easy, fun, and never forced.
Forget disappearing for hours or endless group shots. I keep portraits quick, group photos organised and fuss-free, so you can actually enjoy your reception while still getting images you’ll love forever.
My approach is simple: no staged shoots, no cheesy setups — just the moments, emotions, and atmosphere that unfold naturally. You planned a wedding, not a photo shoot, and that’s exactly what I want you to remember when you look back at your gallery.
I’M SOPHIE
I’ve been photographing weddings for over a decade, and I still feel so lucky to call this my job. I’m all about people — the connections, the emotions, the buzz of the day — and making sure those memories are captured honestly and beautifully.
If your vision is ultra-polished, high-fashion editorial images, we might not click. But if you want someone to blend in like a guest, catch what’s real, and make everyone feel comfortable — I think we’ll be a great match

Where do we even begin!
“On our wedding day, Sophie was just perfect to work with. She kept our time taking couple photos to a minimum so we could just enjoy our day but still created some absolutely beautiful photos.
Sophie’s work captured every emotion of our day so perfectly and it means so much to be able to relive our day through her photos forever.
Sophie – we cannot thank you enough!”
