BEAUTIFULLY AUTHENTIC
Beautifully authentic wedding photos
(for even the most camera shy of couples!)
I am a chilled out wedding photographer, based in Saffron Walden but I travel all over. I 100% believe that beautiful wedding photos belong to everyone and I can turn even the most awkward of couples in to absolute pros in front of the camera.
Contrary to what you may hear about wedding photography, with me there is no going off for hours to take photos and I am an absolute master at getting those group shots done with minimal fuss in the quickest time possible! It is absolutely possible to have gorgeous photos and not miss a thing of your wedding reception too.
My whole approach is hands off, looking for the beautiful moments that exist naturally and photographing those under the radar. You didn’t plan a wedding photography shoot so we’re not going to make it one – its all about the day you actually planned!
I’M SOPHIE
I’ve been photographing weddings for over 10 years, and I still pinch myself that this is my job. I’m a real people person through and through — for me, it’s all about connection, emotion, and capturing the energy of the day as it really felt.
If you’re after perfectly posed, Vogue-style editorial shots, I might not be your girl. But if you want someone who blends in like a guest with a camera, celebrates the real moments, and makes everyone feel at ease — I think we’ll get on brilliantly.

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!”
