Photographer for all humans in love

YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. I HAVE ANSWERS

How long have you been a photographer for?

To be honest I can’t really remember when I officially started. I’ve loved photos all my life, brought my first camera in 2015 and the rest is history.

How much do your photoshoots cost?

Such a great question! Family sessions start from $260, Couples, anniversary or engagement shoots start from $180. Weddings start from $1300 and also include elopements and intimate weddings. Oh and maternity sessions or the Mumma to be start at $200. Please get in touch for more information on what each session includes, it's so much more than a number or dollar sign.

Do you shoot elopements or intimate weddings?

Yes! I do and I love them. There is something about celebrating love surrounded by the ones who mean the most to you, even if it’s only a small number. Hit me up for some more information.

How many images do you include?

Each session varies in how many images you get, but I promise I’ll always include plenty of images of everything I capture.
I don’t believe in withholding images, but rather giving you plenty to remember these memories and times in your life.

What do I wear on a photoshoot?

I strongly encourage wearing something you feel comfortable, practical and can move freely in, that goes for shoes too. Try to stay away from strong patterns and bright colours (reds, pinks, oranges and yellows). Just keep it classy, simple, and to your own style.

Where are you based? Can you travel for shoots?

I am based in the beautiful Nelson, New Zealand. Yes sure can!

What is the booking and payment process?

My booking process is super easy. After original enquiry and you’ve decided on me, it’s a couple of back and forth emails arranging the details, then we’re set to go. Invoice is sent on date confirmation and needs to be paid no later than a week before your session.

Booking weddings is slightly different. Pop me an email if you would like more information.

What is your wedding cancellation/postponement policy?

If you’re cancelling your booking, your booking fee is non-refundable.
If you need to postpone, let me know as soon as possible. If your new date doesn’t fit into my schedule the above will apply.

What if there’s bad weather?

I will always encourage embracing whatever the weather is doing, as it’s beautiful and unique in photos. Plus, it’ll be a whole lot of fun dancing in the rain! If the weather is too harsh or torrential, then we will postpone shoot for the next available date and time.

How do I get my images, and can I print them?

Great questions! Your images are delivered via digital download and will be available to you to do with what you wish. If you are after a USB one can still be purchased for a small fee.
When you receive your images, I recommend, nay demand, that you immediately download and back them up.
And yes absolutely! I encourage you to get your images printed. Print them big, frame them, stick them to your fridge or put them on a mug.

Do you have a second photographer or what happens if you can’t make it to our wedding?

At the moment, I shoot weddings on my own - I prefer it that way, don’t worry you’re in good hands. If your wedding is quite large and I think I’ll need an extra hand, that’s when I’ll bring in an extra pair of hands - no worries.
If I can’t make it to your wedding and it’s out of my control (let’s pray this never happens), I will do my best to find a replacement photographer to take my place, one I trust and know will do a good job on one of your most important days. If I can’t do anything and we’ve tried all options, your money will be refunded. Maybe grab a cool or hip Auntie to take your key shots!

Can you photoshop us?

Nope unless there is anything on your body that is not normally there (bruises, scrapes, ezcma etc). If you’re self-conscious about something, please let me know as I’ll be sure to be extra aware of that while I’m posing you.

Don’t see your question answered?

No worries! Just flick me an email and I’ll get you taken care of.

MATT + MADDY

Sophie was a huge part of capturing two of the biggest moments of our lives to date. Our Proposal and our Wedding Day.
Sophie helped Matt, find the best spot for him to propose! She is so insanely gifted at what she does, she created a moment in our lives where we weren’t overwhelmed, but she helped us embrace the moment. On our wedding day, Sophie flew over to Wellington for our day and rolled with the sudden change of venue overnight! She handled our changes, our locations and our bridal party so well.
We highly recommend Sophie. She doesn’t just take good photos, she brings her values, her skill and her character all into the mix. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and we can’t wait to book our next shoot with her in the future.

Sophie is extremely talented at what she does! She makes you feel at ease in front of the camera and has a great eye for capturing special shots. We love every single image we received and couldn’t recommend her more.

DARREN + BEKS

We were so lucky to have Sophie capture our wedding day. Sophie exceeded all expectations and went above and beyond on the day - from helping the groomsmen with their bow ties to being so relaxed, organised and fantastic when it came to photographing our wandering bridal party. We were also so impressed by your professionalism and the quality of our photos.

ALEX + RUSSELL

We were so happy with the shots we got from our Tahunanui Mini Session. Sophie was so professional from the first communication, to prep about what to wear and reminder the day before was so appreciated. Sophie directed us through the session, obviously knew the location perfectly! She got our gallery to us in no time at all, with some sneaky previews on Instagram! We love our photos and look forward to our next session. Highly, highly recommend.

TATE + SOPHIE

Sophie is absolutely AMAZING! We had such an incredible experience having a couple’s shoot with Sophie. We were both super nervous coming into the photoshoot, but Sophie was lovely, professional and working with her was such a pleasure! She made us feels very comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. We had so much fun didn’t want it to end!

TINETTI TRIBE

Sophie is such an amazing photographer! She’s super directional which is great for those who have no idea what to do. She is super bubbly and totally goes out of her way to accommodate you.
I am in love with my family photos and will definitely be back to get more as my family grows up

JUANJO + JESSICA

We loved every minute of working with Sophie she was super professional, but laid back at the same time. The perfect balance. She gave plenty of guidance when needed and was adaptable.
Images are absolutely beautiful. So much more spectacular than I could have ever dreamed of!
Thank you Sophie.

AIDAN + JESS

Sophie is a photographer who is truly able to preserve the elusive allure and magic which coats special events and seasons. Looking back at our wedding through her work is like seeing it for the first time.
I remember thinking that the house where the bridal team was getting ready was in fact VERY unfurnished and plain, but in Sophie's photos it looked so romantic and warm. We're always the most critical of the photos which feature ourselves, but Sophie's photography was like looking at photos of somebody else's wedding - does that make sense? In her photos I was able to see how beautiful I really was, how lovely our venue really looked - all the things that a bride becomes overly critical of before the end! Seeing our photos restored in my memory the magic and brilliance of our day - and that is so precious.
Thank you Sophie for everything!

THAWLEY TRIBE

The easiest shoot I have ever had, we were nervous having two hungry tired children at sundown. But all went off without a hitch thanks to Sophie! Our prints are dreamy and we love that our children and grandchildren will be able to look over them in years to come! Thank you Sophie!
