Hello! I'm Sofia, a dedicated wedding photographer based in Melbourne, with a rich tapestry of experience that spans over a decade. Since 2012, I've honed my craft, focusing exclusively on weddings since 2018, driven by a passion to capture the unique essence of each couple’s love story.
Couples choose me for my ability to see beyond the conventional, transforming their moments into artful narratives. My approach suits those who see themselves as free-spirited, creative souls, seeking authenticity and genuine emotion over staged scenes. Experience matters deeply in wedding photography—it’s not just about taking photos, but about telling a story through them. My experience ensures that I can capture the fleeting moments, understand the interplay of light and scenery, and manage the day's flow seamlessly so that nothing is missed.
Today's wedding photography transcends traditional posed photographs; it's about capturing the laughter, tears, and joy that are the true essence of your celebration. These candid, unplanned moments that I skillfully capture will tell the real story of your day.
Choosing me means partnering with a storyteller who is as invested in bringing your wedding day to life as you are. With a commitment to personalization and an eye for detail, I ensure that your wedding photos reflect your unique relationship and the journey you are about to embark on together.
Ready to capture your love story with an artistic touch? Connect with me and let’s create something unforgettable.
The EXPERIENCE
if you think you are the couple who prefer more staged photos, then i might not be your photographer
you deserve true natural moments to be captured rather than chasing and stressing for posed photo with no double chin and fake smile. I'm focusing on authenticity, and with understanding of all emotional moments that happening throughout your wedding day, i'll be there to tell your unique raw story of love. and let me tell you, that you don't even imagine yet, how beautiful your love story will look through the eye of artist.
I wouldn't spend hours posing you for photos and spending precious time of your day for perfect shot, i'd rather let you be fully present in the moment, soaking every second of your day in the happiness and joy surrounding you!
on your wedding day i will be hunting to capture unexpected laughs, happy tears, true connections, and all unspoken moments in between. I will be there to document the real story of your day, so in decades you can read a story through photographs and remember your day till the tiniest detail.
but
p.s. THIS COULD BE YOU by the way!

SECOND SHOOTER
The perfect solution to cover multiple locations or big weddings.
As much as I'd love to clone myself and be in two spots at once, it's a lot easier to get extra coverage if you choose to have a second shooter on the day. This is a particularly good idea if:
- You have a large guest list, and want to make sure we get shots of everyone that's there on the day
- You and your partner are getting ready at the same time, and the locations are far apart
- You're wanting photos of the ceremony and reception styling, prior to the arrival of your guests.
Basically, the second shooter will act as my wingman/ wing woman, doubling the coverage of your wedding. We'll team up to make sure that everything is captured, from start to finish, locations far apart. Lastly having a second shooter will ensure photos are taken of the ceremony and reception styling, undisturbed by guests.
+$800 for a second shooter
Authentically capturing just the two of you, being yourselves
How many professionally taken photos do you and your partner have, ones that you really love and can fill your home with?
An engagement shoot is a chance for us to capture some really beautiful, candid photos of you and your partner in a relaxed environment. Just the two of you, being you.
Plus, if you're a little camera-shy, it's the perfect opportunity for you to practice being comfortable in front of the camera, in the lead up to your wedding day. Either way, I promise that we'll have a lot of fun while we're at it.

OUR PROCESS AND HOW IT WORKS

Keeping it easy-peasy and stress-free, just for you
Michelle & Alex
Sofia did a beautiful job with my wedding photos, and I feel lucky to have had her as my photographer.
She was responsive and straightforward with us in the booking process, and discreet and professional while working on the day. I also appreciate that she was understanding around delays and re-bookings due to the COVID 19 lockdowns.
Sofia also had a great manner and an eye for detail in capturing the small moments throughout the day, and the warmth of interactions with guests. Thanks Sofia, you made our special day one to remember :)
"Sofia, you made our special day one to remember!"
frequently asked questions
I'm based in Melbourne, Australia, but I travel all over the globe to capture love.
You bet I do! Nothing excited me more than the opportunity to shoot a destination wedding or elopement. If you're thinking of taking your celebrations overseas, please get in touch so we can chat about the finer details.
A million times YESS!!! LGBTQIA+, no matter how you identify and regardless of how you define your relationship, I'd love to be a part of your wedding day. Love is love and I'm 100% here for it!
If you and your partner are thinking of skipping the fuss and running off to do a private ceremony with just the two of you or a handful of your nearest and dearest, I'd be absolutely honoured to document your intimate ceremony. Our elopement packages start at 1 hours' coverage, so get in touch if you;'d like to learn more.
You'll receive over 800-1200 photos, depending on how many hours we shoot and how jam-packed your wedding day is! Every single picture is carefullly edited in my style.
Firstly, I'll send you a handful of sneak peek shots a couple of days after your wedding. 2 weeks later, you'll receive a link to your online gallery and slide slow to watch and relive your wedding day. Around the same time, you'll also receive a beautiful package in the mail with a USB, prints and a little thank you from me.
It will take roughly 2 weeks to receive your final wedding photos. I put a lot of love and care into perfecting each image, which is why it'll take me a little bit more time to deliver your final images. If you'd like your photos sooner, please ask me about the rush fee.
This is your wedding and if you are uncomfortable with your photos being shared on my social media platforms, I will respect that.
This has never happened and will NEVER happen. However, if it did, I have contacts all over the world that will be able to step in. These are other talented photographers in my team who will take good care of you.
Yes, we can organise to split your payments into four installments. Just let me know if this would suit you.
Of course, I'd love for you to print your favourite photos! You can easily order photos prints through your online gallery.
Life is complicated and the unexpected is to be expected. The deposit is non refundable as this helps to protect my business due to turning away all other booking for your wedding date. I hope you understand that deposit is insurance for my business to stay afloat in the event of a cancellation.
your love deserve to become an art
No story is one and the same. Yours will be finessed to share your unique journey.
