Hi, I'm Sophie 👋

For me, It’s not just about the smile. It’s about snapshotting those natural moments that shows the real essence of who you are.
Capturing photos like this can be hard to achieve, which is why my calm and relaxed approach can help you feel more comfortable around the camera and make your true personalities shine. When taking photos, I want to freeze that memory, capturing that moment in time that you will be able to remember and cherish for years to come.

Went above and beyond!

I would recommend Sophie again and again! She was absolutely amazing photographing our wedding. So friendly and just fitted in with us all! She even drove me and my husband down the road to my Granparents house who couldn’t make it to the wedding so that we could get some photos with them. She absolutely went above and beyond, I couldn’t have asked for better!! We received our photos this week and and they are so beautiful, I love them all. The day has been captured perfectly!🩷🩷

Beyond Perfect

Sophie from Picture Essence was absolutely amazing as our wedding photographer! From the moment she arrived, she made us feel instantly relaxed, which really shows in the photos. We booked the all day package, and she captured every special moment, from the excitement of getting ready, through the ceremony, to the group shots, candid moments, and our first dance. Her attention to detail was incredible, and the photos of us as bride and groom are simply stunning, natural, elegant, and full of emotion. Sophie was professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure every shot was perfect without ever feeling intrusive. We couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend Picture Essence to anyone looking for a talented and easy-going photographer. Thank you, Sophie, for capturing memories we will treasure forever! Mr and Mrs Webster ❤️

I couldn't recommend her enough!

Sophie was absolutely amazing from start to finish! She really fitted in and apart from our separate photos I barely even realised she was there! Sophie kept showing us photos throughout the day and 1 week later we have a load of sneak peeks which have taken me back to my special day! I am so glad that we picked her for our special day and I would recommend her to anyone 100%! thank you again Sophie! 💕

Amazing experience!

Sophie Kept both our pups and our 1.5 year old entertained to get us some wonderful pictures for our family. We got muddy and cold but it was so much fun, nothing was too much to ask for and I cannot thank this beautiful lady enough for how time efficient she was. We’re over the moon with the pictures ❤️

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Grease Lightning Flash Mob! Nobody was expecting such a wedding entrance: the dancing, loud singing, leather jackets and guitars... it was even kept as a surprise for me!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Warm Natural Romanic Euphoric Timeless

What about your business are you most proud of?

After over 10 years experience of working with a camera, I have made a successful business in the space of 1 year! As well as, being a Primary School Teacher, I must be crackers!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Whether booking me or any other wedding supplier, please book your dream wedding team in advance to avoid disappointment!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Parents of the bride made a bow for her dress out her first baby grow when she was born! It was such a lovely touch, very emotional.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Once you have made your wedding enquiry and picked your package, I like to do an introductory video or phone call for us to meet, get to know each other and see if I am the photographer for you! If I have been lucky enough to be a part of your wedding, I then send all of the details across to secure your date. Once your date has been secured, I like to discuss when you would like your pre wedding shoot (if your package includes one!) but also share that I am always here throughout the lead up to your wedding as a friendly face; to hear your weddings plans, offer advice and get excited with you! Once it gets to 1-2 month before the wedding I send a Wedding Questionnaire for you to include the finalised wedding itinerary, key pictures you would like captured and any other details that you would like me to be aware of. After receiving this document, we will plan a final wedding consultation to go through the questionnaire together so I know exactly what I am doing on your day. This prevents me from interrupting you on your wedding day but simply blending in with your guests to capture and document your wedding.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

The confetti shot is a must, the more confetti the better!

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

Molly and Ash always eat at their local chip shop every Friday, it was one of their first dates! So we scheduled in some time to have a picture outside on the bench they sat at many moons ago- I've never seen a couple so giggly and giddy!

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Suitable shoes and umbrellas. The most important thing is to embrace it, do not worry about the suit and/or dress, some of my best pictures of a couple is when they have mucked about in the rain and just had fun!

Describe how you got into photography.

I have always been a lover for taking a good picture. I always used old DSLRs and Polaroid cameras when out and about. One day, I was asked by my lovely friends to take some woodland pictures of my god son. Once I had finished the shoot and editing, I realised how much I enjoyed it- more than before! I shared the pictures with my friends and they shared how much they loved the pictures and this shouldn't just be a hobby. So bit the bullet. As I wanted to pursue wedding photography, I got in touch with photographers, built my portfolio, made the business accounts and the rest is history!
